Hello, It's a a smaller city city with about 35,475 people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I wrong here?

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much stable but now it's underrated.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 13 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are wild. You get used to it after the first year.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
