A typical week in Canada

I am retired and run two blogs from here, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The first one is a spiritual one and this one, the second is one with various interesting topics.

Today I chose to talk with you about a typical week in Western Canada.  Here in the North, in Chetwynd, BC we have lumber mills and coal mines and other industries.  Chetwynd was quiet during Covid-19 but has picked up again an dis busier now.  People usually have a hobby or two like fishing and hunting. Deer and Moose are hunted with regulations and fishing as well.  People like also camping, boating and hiking as well.

The number one sport in Canada is still hockey but for families it is still the most expensive.  There is also baseball and tennis or golf.

Usually, we have jobs to go to.  There is a large population of retired people and a growing need for young people to fill in the gap in jobs as the working population is retiring.  Life can be very stressful in the work place and the production aspect is more important than quality although quality should not be neglected.  Most employees are paid by the hour at various wages.  The service industry is the least paid and the least esteemed.  It is also the most demanding in every aspect.

The schedule of work differ from jobs to jobs offering 8,10 and 12 hour shifts, nights or days at starting at different times of the day depending on jobs.  Most jobs require you to be there in daytime hours. Jobs are usually well paid compared to other countries in the world but the cost of living in some case can be fairly high in comparison.  To most Canadians the cost of living is quite high but that is without considering the cost of living in other countries.  In Canada, overall there are many lifestyles you can choose from and many different industries to be part of.

Thank you all for reading my blogs.  I always appreciate it.

Have a great day!
