Accommodations

You will be living in a rural area; however, this does not mean that modern services are lacking. Homes, businesses, and public buildings have central heating, and excellent electrical and telephone services. Many have either a dial-up or high speed Internet connection and cable or satellite television.

Most people take great pride in their house keeping. Homes are clean and well kept; and for meals you can expect large portions of home cooked food.

 

In Province Transportation

There are flights between all airports in the province several times a day. A privately owned bus service travels across the TransCanada highway on the island part of the province, stopping at major centers. Their schedule is available through their web site - www.drlgroup.com/coachlines/schedservice.html .

There is no public transportation in the most areas; however, most people own their own vehicles, and taxies and private bus services are available.

Many families enjoy spending time in the outdoors. All terrain vehicles are popular in the summer and skidoos are popular in winter.

Because most of the population of the province lives near the water, many families have some type of boat, varying from a rowboat to a sailboat depending on the interests and the disposable income of the family.
