Thank you for that detailed response.
What are one's options if you don't have decent healthcare through your employer?
Any idea about the schools?
Also, is the 'it's always cold', true for that region?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Canada might have some valuable information for you. Also, most employers usually offer some form of additional coverage. Even minimum wage, part time jobs often do.
My experiences with the schools were good. I feel like I got a good education growing up.
As far as temperature goes, it kind of depends on what you are used to. If you are coming from somewhere that doesnt see sub zero (Celsius) temperatures you'll probably find it chilly and it could take some time to be comfortable.
Where I live, a really cold winters day might hit -25C before the windchill and a really hot summers day might hit 30C. The summers where I live are fairly humid though.
Something else people interested in moving to Canada sometimes ask is whether or not there are dangerous wildlife all over the place or anything. I've seen a wild bear once in my life. The most dangerous animals around me are probably deer and moose at night while driving.
