The West Kootenay region is becoming known throughout B.C. as a retirement have due to its mild climate, brought about by the moderating effect of the large lakes located in our area. There is a wide range of out- door recreational activities, and, compared to Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan, substantially lower housing prices: The lower costs associated with living here, along with our Picturesque scenery and friendly, small town atmosphere, have attracted new businesses to the area as well as people migrating from large urban centres to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. It is generally felt throughout this region that the prospect for continued growth is very good.

An estimated 3.3 mil- lion families had two incomes, compared to 1.9 million single- income. families. Although the median employ- ment income for women in BC remains well below that for men (at 58.2 per cent), income gains of females continue to out pace those for males. In 1993, half of the employed women in the province earned more than $15,900—an increase of 2.6 per cent from the previ- ous year when the median employment income for females was $15,500. In comparison, between 1992 and 1993, median employment income for men increased by 0.7 per cent from $27,100 to $27,300. Do Canadians prefer sports over cultural events?
