The rural life in Canada
Many people dream of living in a big city like Toronto or Vancouver when they think of Canada, but a growing number addition more inclined to throw the city life and be part of the growing community in rural Canada.
Canada has much to offer when it is the rural life: mountains, lakes, forests and even glaciers. Since the last census (2006) six million Canadians live in small towns or rural areas, which is something less than 20% of the population.
There may be significant financial benefits to those who live outside major urban areas. Almost without exception houses are less expensive than their urban counterparts. You could spend $ 250,000 in a small apartment of 800 square meters in a city with a room bed and just enough space to house cat. But the same money you can buy a property four or five bedrooms in one or two hectares Land 2-3000 square feet in area.
For some people a few miles of a town or city in the country is important enough areas. They live the life that is not surrounded by a rural landscape may be many other properties around and stay away from the bustle of city. However, they are also fairly close to the city for shopping, restaurants to visit and use all services contained therein.
Other people want a total isolation and find a home away from someone else. They may become self-sufficient for food etc and venture rarely in the city or town for provisions.
For others, a balance is what they want. Maybe in a small town a few Hundreds of people where they can join and be a part of the community.
Before deciding to live the rural life there are many things you need taken into account to ensure that is the right decision for your family.
Living near farms
Although the idea look at your window and see horses and cows grazing in the adjacent field may seem attractive, there are things to consider when you live near a farm or farms.
Pets: Pets can be dangerous, especially around children and animals. animal odor, is a fact that if you have a farm or field proximity to wild populations, you will notice the smell. No animal is itself smell and the smell of manure, etc., which are necessary to consider if your property is provided near farmland.
Noise: Farming can be noisy and depending on the type of operation, noise can be heard from the day or night. During planning and harvesting time farmers many of them work 24 / 7 with machines noisy. Even milk producers often milk their herds during the night. Some farmers spray their fields with pesticides and may use aircraft flying at low altitude to get there. Animals can also cause much noise.
Dirt: The farms can be dirty places, not only by animal waste, but because of dust. During the summer, when most of Canada has a dry road can be very dusty. This is more of a problem when you have the machine in the areas of dust generation later. In addition, when tractors and other farm machinery and farmland tours Release on local roads, causing dust and leave large quantities of mud and other debris on the road.
Chemicals: You remember that living near a farm, may mean that chemicals and pesticides used. You must decide if you want be close to these substances. Some people are very sensitive to the latter, which can cause health problems.
Rural Roads
Roads are something you should consider when you live in the countryside. Check if the roads are maintained during the winter snow, the plow. Some rural roads are not maintained between certain months is from November to April. If this is the case, make sure you have an alternative, as its own domain or use neighbor. Rural roads with snow removal services may have to wait a little longer on the streets of the village to be authorized.
Many roads rural areas are just dirt tracks, which can be very dusty in dry season and slippery in the wet. Make sure you have a suitable vehicle for local roads.
Some roads will get used (legally or not) for the use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles in winter, which can be very noisy and annoying.
Water supply
Almost without exception rural properties in Canada and a water source. Although the wells are not common in their country of origin, are very common in Canada and what should never be too concerned by purchasing a house with a well. There is no significant difference in terms of water use for a property or a source Municipal. Remember that good that means not paying the price of water.
Well Record: When you buy a house with a brand and make sure obtain good results from the owner. It is a record of the Ministry environment that includes details such as where property was built, etc., the location, depth, type of
recovery test water: You must obtain a recovery test water of a licensed contractor. This will determine how much water can be drawn from wells. The minimum should be 14 liters per minute for a duration of 120 minutes. This is equivalent to 450 liters per person per day.
Water Quality: Obviously the quality water from a well is very important, after all that is drinkable. In the process of procurement should be tested for quality finished water. This test detects the presence of things such as E. coli, sodium, sulfate, chloride, lead etc. If your property is located nearby farmland could take additional tests for pesticides. A contractor can do these tests or you can take samples and submit to the local company for testing. The local public health can tell you they are.
Well Type: Wells needs to penetrate in an aquifer, a zone of permeable rock or saturated soil. Gravel and bedrock aquifers, while much clay and silt aquifer poor, because they can withstand high levels of pumping.
There are three main types of wells: dug, drilled or drilled.
Dug wells and bored: They are used when the water is less than 15 meters deep. They may be prone to contamination of surface water and sometimes lack of water.
The drilling: This type of well is used when the water is deep, 15-60 feet. In general, provide a more stable environment and safe water source, although more expensive to build, at first instance.
All problems encountered in connection with any inspection or must be corrected by the owner or the sale price reduced to welcome you to make repairs. A new pump can cost in the region of 500 $ – $ 1,000 while the cost of building a new drilled well can cost $ 150 per meter.
From Sewage
Again, most rural properties not connected to municipal sewer system and must therefore have a septic system. Having a septic tank which means they do not pay sewer and you notice no difference in terms of the use of a septic system should have a municipal system. A septic system consists of two main components, a septic tank and leach bed.
Pit tank: This is a large container, sealed concrete, polyethylene or fiberglass. The tank size depends on the size of the house and the minimum size in the tank can vary between 1,800 and 3,600 liters, depending on the province. The increase in deposits can have only one room, while modern tanks have two.
Septic tanks work by allowing solids settle to the bottom to form a layer of mud and oil and rising fat on the surface of the foam. Bacteria, naturally present in the tank to break down the sewage over a period of time.
Leaching Beds: There is a system of perforated pipes in gravel trenches in the bed of an unsaturated soil. Wastewater leaving the septic tank and filtered through the tubes where the soil microbes to remove more harmful viruses, bacteria and nutrients. Water treated passes into the groundwater. septic fields generally have a lifespan of at least 20 years.
Each province its own rules of regulations for septic systems, such as size, frequency to be emptied, the distances between buildings and sinks, etc. You can have your septic system inspected before you buy a property to insure that it meets local approvals had been properly installed and functioning as expected. If you encounter a problem, the former owners should be held accountable. This amount is for ask them to correct the problem to your satisfaction or request a reduction of selling prices so that you can correct the problem. To replace a complete system can cost anything up to $ 25,000. You can also ask the previous owners have emptied the tank of the cost before taking property ($ 150 – $ 250).
Electricity
Unless your property is in fact very unlikely you must be connected to local power grid. However, it is necessary to bear in mind that power outages are more frequent in areas rural areas than in cities or towns.
If a power failure, unable to reconnect in a few minutes or hours, but may take several days to repair, by cause. At first you can not see this as a major problem, but should be aware that if you have a property as soon as the electricity supply is lost, also lost their source of water, which is based on an electric pump to operate. This means no running water, showers or flushing water.
In winter, it also means no heat, or summer without air conditioning or refrigerator to keep food fresh.
In a good way of investing in a generator for these periods of loss of electricity. There are many different types and sizes of generators at prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars. You may just want to keep what is essential and the heating / cooling, fridge, etc. water pump or maybe want to run the house as usual, which of course is investing in a generator of many larger and more expensive.
Some generators are needed to connect power and will therefore engage a qualified electrician to do it for you. He or she must request a permit from the town hall be required to show the work was done correctly.
Heating
rural properties may not have links municipal gas and it will be done without the use or propane or oil in place. Many people use a three to heat their homes, as it is often much cheaper to use electricity. Other options include wood and heating Sun.
Oil: Oil is stored in large tanks usually installed in basement rooms or utility, or even outside the property, either above or underground. As part of your inspection, the inspector to verify that the majority of leaks in tanks reservoirs, age, size, etc. are built to last 20-30 years, if the tank is close to that age may be that the cost is to replace in the near future. There is clear that the replacement costs vary depending on the type and location, but anything from $ 800 to above is not uncommon. If the tank is underground these costs can be more than $ 5,000.
Make sure your home insurance company knows that you have a system of oil home, because you will need insurance to cover this topic. The cost to repair the tank if a product leak or spill of oil can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars if the land is contaminated, so make sure you are adequately covered.
You'll need to contact a local oil company who have their tank to be filled. Most companies offer automatic delivery, you do not have to worry about low on fuel, just take a regular basis and not pay for the fuel used.
Propane: Used the same way as oil and stored in tanks of small portable generators or use of other small appliances such as barbecues or stored in large tanks for outdoor uses such as heating homes.
As for oil that is necessary for adequate insurance cover any possible leaks, problems, etc. and a local company to deliver propane to your home.
Internet Phone
Same if getting a telephone line in a rural area is generally not a problem, the supplier can choose may be limited.
The Internet in the other side can be a major problem. If Internet access is important to you, especially if you want high speed, then you may need to do some research before committing to a property.
Dial-up: If you have a telephone line, You can access the Internet through dial-up. You will need Internet service provider (ISP) and you need to ensure that the number is used to dial a local phone number for free, otherwise it can be very expensive. The maximum speed is 56 kbps.
Cable: It is unlikely, thought is not impossible that you can get cable Internet in a rural area. If cable television, then chances are that your service provider will be able to offer Internet services as well. The cable is shared with its neighbors, so the system speed can be reduced if a large number of people who access the system simultaneously. Speeds vary from 128 kbps to 10 Mbps
Satellite: Most places even rural areas can access broadband Internet by satellite. The system as its name implies uses satellites in space send and receive data. You need an antenna connected to your home and as long as you have a clear view of the satellite's able to access the Internet. The speeds range from 128 kbps to 10 Mbps This can be an expensive option.
Wireless Internet is already available through wireless technology. To access this system should have a clear view of the transmission tower signal. Some people have towers attached their home to raise the dish to collect the signal and obtain a clear line of sight of the tower. Speeds vary from 128 kbps to 10 Mbps
Amenities
If you choose to live in the countryside, you must make sure that you can get the help you need on a regular. This can include things such as groceries, gym, restaurants, theater, etc. basically anything that you consider important in their daily lives, will lead to a reasonable distance.
Shopping: You may be willing to drive a distance to buy a new sofa or a car, but do not want to travel a great distance for a gallon of milk or a slice of bread in some Once you run out.
Schools: If you have children you want know where the local schools and what type of transportation is provided. Many Canadian schools operate a transportation system that takes literally deposits and children outside their homes. If you are a good distance from a school that will ensure that your property is in the race at school, or you can join. You'll also want to know what time the bus departure and return their children.
Health: Another consideration important when life is full of campaign health care. We mentioned in the past, how it can be difficult to get a family doctor Canada. You want to ensure that it is a clinic located at an acceptable distance, also a dentist. You must also ensure that you know the location of the nearest hospital and other medical services that you feel you might need.
Should to ask local emergency services how long it would take to reach your property. Want to know what you need to call an ambulance, which has 'x' minutes and the hospital "and". Similarly, if your house caught fire, you do not want to wait half an hour for truck firefighters.
Work: Thirty percent of people living in rural areas travel to cities and towns to work. If you work for a living and this requires you leave the house, then the location of your household must be taken into account. Can you easily reach the workplace, even during the winter months?
Wildlife
Although wildlife can be found in the cities, you will see many more varieties in the county. This may be an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.
What will largely depend on where you live in Canada. The culprits most are likely raccoons, deer, squirrels and rabbits. There will also abundant birds like jays, blackbirds, robins, thrushes and tits. We talked about many of the most common mammals (question 14) and birds (question 13) above.
Raccoons, although very nice can be a problem. They raid bird feeders, often destroying in the process. Pregnant women are also looking for places to increase their age, so young and find the attic and very attractive discounts. They can do untold damage to property and can obviously be health hazard because it can lead to diseases such as rabies, and be very aggressive, especially with young women.
Seeing the deer roaming in your garden can be very magical, but they can do incalculable damage. They can eat your plants and shrubs and their hooves can much damage to your lawn.
Even the smallest of creatures, like a strike may be a problem. They may decide to nest in your gutters or even dig their way into your paneling. These birds can be very well educated and not be intimidated by humans away.
Mice can be another problem in rural areas, especially if you live near a mouse farm units, etc. are very active at throughout the year and find warm places to live Nice and raise their young – this place could be your home.
To ensure that your property is "bug-free" must ensure that all holes and joints in the building are sealed. The animals and birds hidden in the most small places. You must insure your property as best you can
Do not leave garbage around the animals to find. If Once you do, continue to return for more. Make sure garbage cans are secure with an airtight lid for raccoons and other large animals such as bears do reverse and open.
If you feed the birds and animals in your garden, try to keep food out of the royal house. If you are accustomed to receiving food in one place course that will not be tempted to venture on his property for more information.
Conclusion
