The transient life
It seems like everyone I know is either leaving or planning to leave the north... or at least their current northern posting. I have a couple sets of friends that are planning on returning south. And bloggers left and right are ripe with plans of moving around.
It's all a little unsettling, seeing as I just got here. But I get the impression such is the way of the north. People come up for a little while, and then move on. It's just a little hard to watch, and maybe I need to be careful as to not get too close, because eventually we all move away.
Bit of a depressing thought.

You never know, maybe we'll get posted there! :)
Sorry! You can always move to the Yukon with us. They have trees!!
It's all part of living in the North (I'm told). Up where I am, the teachers stay anywheres between 2-4 years, the RCMP have 2-3 year postings, and our Health Center is constantly getting new staff in. I plan to stay up North as long as I can .. maybe not all in the same community, but definitely up North.
Same here! Up north for a while, but they move us around, no choice. But the great thing is my blog, like many of us, will stay in the same place!
Haha I used to think, "Oh no, everyone is going to leave me," but now I'm like, "God I hope I leave first."
But hey, if what I was talking to you about earlier today works out, I'd still come back to Rankin from time to time!

The turnover we had here last June wiped out all the sourthern teachers except for me so I can totally relate.
