    Beschreibung

    We are a family of five living on a gulf island off the coast of Vancouver Island. We have lived here since 2009 and love the quiet rural life.
    We have a hobby farm with horses, ponies, a donkey and sheep and goats. We also have cats and dogs.
    We live near the ocean and there are many kayaking opportunities.
    Our family includes people with disabilities so we are looking for assistance with outdoor tasks.
