Welcome!
Lol yeah Rupert’s got its quirks…never ending rain being one of them….
Looks like Rushbrooke. Rupert is beautiful when the sun comes out. I lived there for 12 years, got better when Capt Ed buggered off. ;-)
I fish Rupert all summer run the gladiator
Thank you! Greatly appreciated!
I think I might have a distance memory of one of those sunny days.lol . Rupert did have its good days and times , also the entertainment on main Street at 2 in morning when Boogies and the Rupert Hotel let out was always a good show
I was looking at real estate on the MLS, up there, out of curiosity. I was surprised to see that the houses were pretty expensive. I guess there’s only so much built supply? I’m guessing the port is a main economic driver and longshoreman need a place to live and have the money to pay those prices?
Yeah, we have a contractor client and he has to pay through the nose for wages and materials, and developed land doesn’t come cheap. Lng, fishing, port, gov jobs all have median incomes well above what we see in Vancouver.
Yeah we are making the best of our time in Rupert, this town is currently booming with industry and we need skilled labour and tradesman…houses have become very expensive the last 2 years…but if you have some experience and a trade ticket you can make a lot of money up here. No suspension seats unfortunately…I’ve yet to have the boat out in lumpy weather. Right on send me a message when your up here!
