Jim,
I know nothing related to foster care but I can tell you...choose British Columbia. I have lived here almost 30 years and have traveled as far east as Quebec...BC beats every other province hands down in both scenery and weather.
Weather: moderate, summer time highs to 35 Celcius but generally in the 20 - 30 C. Winter has different cycles and this year saw lots of snow but still nothing compared to back east. We started mowing the lawn at the end of March this year, other years in February.
Economy: seems to be weathering the global recession much better than most. Hubby has class 1 and although it was slow at the beginning of the year has picked up since. Plus BC is a major stop for container traffic and they are building more ports.
Plus BC has the Whistler/Blackcomb plus many other excellent ski slopes, beautiful beaches, lots of culture/activities and the best hockey team going (Canucks in the playoffs). I think you will also find it is similar to Scotland without quite as much rain or perhaps as many rainy days would be a better way to say it.
Kind regards,
Dickons
