When she first arrived in the Cariboo, Kourtney Cook joined teams and volunteered to gain exposure to new people and activities. The Amazing Women’s Hockey League and an incredible adult recreation slo-pitch league keep her active when she is not out with her family exploring, hunting, or taking in the beautiful countryside. With an eight minute commute from her executive position to her small hobby farm, she has time to enjoy life and give back to the warm community she calls home.
Affordable housing and a lower cost of living means that your hard-earned money goes further in the Cariboo. Plus, there’s time and space to enjoy both a slower pace of life and our many family-friendly, year-round outdoor activities. Not to mention the welcome you'll get from the people of the Cariboo, who take pride in welcoming newcomers to a community that cares for, and supports, each other.
When looking to work here there are great job opportunities in manufacturing, construction, forestry, agriculture, and mining, as well as the tourism, education, service, and health industries. The Cariboo is also an exciting option for entrepreneurs as we are close to major urban markets and shipping centres in BC and Alberta, providing nearby customer bases and access to global markets. Anyone exploring options for working remotely will appreciate the affordability of home office space for work-from-home positions.
