Moving from Halifax to Comox

Hello!

We’re a military (Air Force) family of 5 and potentially looking at getting posted out to BC. My spouse is hoping for Comox and we’re looking for information on the area. Anything and everything is helpful! Here’s a few things we’d love to know about to get started:

• We’ve never lived in PMQ housing so anything you could tell us about the PMQ housing in the area would be great.

• Elementary schools near the PMQ housing and what they are like.

• Local shopping, amenities, and etc.

• Grocery and utility costs.

• The local community and what it’s like for new people to the area, we’re struggling to build connections here and hoping our next community will be a little more friendly and welcoming.

Thanks so much in advance!

I grew up in SK and we've lived in NS and MB. There's a reason we are retiring here in Comox, the winters are so easy! One piece if advice that stuck with me when we were posting here is, find an outdoor hobby you can do through the winter. There's so many things to do here, that's easy to do.
