ABOUT ME

After 13 years of the fast-paced hustle in the Lower Mainland, John Taylor was ready for a change—more space, more time, and less stress. He found exactly that in the Kootenays. Here, towering mountains replace city skylines, and morning traffic means spotting deer on a quiet backroad instead of sitting in gridlock. Life moves at a different pace, with fresh mountain air, endless outdoor adventures, and a strong sense of community.

John didn’t just move to the Kootenays—he fully embraced the lifestyle. He bought land along the river, built his dream home, and put down deep roots in a place where nature and community come first. It’s the perfect place to raise a family, where kids can grow up exploring forests, swimming in the river, and learning the value of a simpler, more connected way of life. Whether it's hiking in the summer, skiing in the winter, or gathering around a backyard firepit under the stars, life here is about slowing down and appreciating the moments that matter.

For those seeking a fresh start, the Kootenays offer something special—a place where families can thrive, where childhood means adventure instead of screen time, and where the rush of city life is replaced by the calm of nature and community.
