Cass Morrison: I moved to Alberta from the West Coast so I could live in a place with (cold instead of wet) seasons. After nearly 40 years of work, then school, then work I’ve retired. (We were lucky to remain employed through several oil downturns along the way). We had planned to go somewhere with a longer growing seasons so we can do more outside activities but ended up refocusing on improving our personal sustainability. Projects started include building a greenhouse and adding solar panels. Trying the “relocation for no real reason” exercise really gave me insight to how immigrants and refugees could feel about leaving their home country.
