Meg was hooked on #PrinceGeorgeBC after just a couple of visits, so she moved to the city from #Vancouver with her son.
Seven years later, she has started a business, built lasting friendships, and found her happiness.

Who says paddling is only a summer sport? But keep in mind paddle boarding in cold weather isn’t for the faint of heart. It can be extremely hazardous if you’re not properly prepared!
This paddle boarder wore three thermal layers under her dry suit and had a life vest on. She also had a warm up plan in place with two people on shore.
This shot is gorgeous! We’re glad she took on this activity safely and shared it with us.
