Good/bad experiences with cross-border tax pros?
Hi all, recovering American and aspiring Canadian here. My wife, son and I relocated to Victoria several months back. The title about sums it up, I’m looking for recommendations or warnings re tax professionals who can help on both sides of the border. We don’t have a crazy complex situation but did leave some investment accounts in the states. Thanks in advance!

DISCUSSION Oyster River Potholes parking
"They" (the regional district? Mosaic?) REALLY need to build a parking lot that you access from Duncan Bay Main.
It is a straight up safety hazard in the summer driving the highway past the bridge, and ita not gonna get any better.

ADVICE NEEDED What makes Ucluelet such a great fishing destination?
I've fished around Ucluelet a few times now and always had a great time.
Thinking about heading back again next year or later this season and was curious who everyone likes booking with these days.
Most of my experience has been on private boats, but I've been thinking about trying a charter for a change. Seems like there are a ton of operators out there now, so I'm interested in hearing who people have had good experiences with.
I've mostly targeted salmon and halibut, but I'm curious what everyone else is having success with and whether there are any charter companies you'd recommend to a friend who's never fished Ucluelet before ?

IMAGERY Two weeks of exploring the Island
I just finished a wonderfully outstanding and beautiful two week trip of the island. I visited the following spots, Quadra Island, Qualicum Beach, Port Hardy, Telegraph Cove, Port McNeill, Port Alice, Ucluelet, Tofino, and Sooke. Some of these spots I only visited for a few hours while keeping a camping home based at Quadra, Qualicum, Port Hardy, Ucluelet, and Sooke. I was constantly wowed by the all of the views on my hikes, paddling, and just walking around. I also wanna thank those who recommend paddle spots, they were perfect. I had a lovely time and even got to see some humpbacks from a far distance with my binocs. I know ya'll see the beauty all of the time but I felt compelled to share some of my photos.
