Yes, you will move back to Vancouver Island to retire. Everyone else has.

It would help if you said where you are going on Vancouver Island. I live in Victoria, so mostly I can tell you about that. Hockey: Victoria has a professional ECHL team, the Salmon Kings, plus there are teams from the BC Junior league up and down the island such as the Alberni Bulldogs and Nanaimo Clippers. Jobs: The economy is in a very good state right now; Victoria has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, so finding a job should not be too difficult here. Camping: There are tons of great campgrounds in provincial parks throughout the Island such as Goldstream, which is just outside Victoria, and French Beach. Closer to Port Alberni, is Sproat Lake. Weather: For most of the year the weather is great. It is fairly mild most of the time and there are rarely extremes of hot or cold. It rains a lot in the winter; this year, in particular, has been very stormy. Beaches: Of course there are good beaches, it's an island. Tofino is a popular destination, but there are lots of places all over the island you could go. You will be pretty close to Parksville; that would be another good place to go. All in all it is a pretty great part of the world to live especially if you like to be around nature. I hope that helps!

Well obviously we can't predict the future for you ... but Vancouver Island is certainly a very popular place to retire, so if you do go back you'll have lots of company. Just bear in mind that it's changing like everywhere else, so you might not recognize it any more.

Probably, as long as an earthquake doesn't hit and swallow it whole. Of course, I'm praying that doesn't happen until after the summer, because my son will be visiting his grandparents there.
The saying goes that, "Victoria is for the Newlywed or the Nearly Dead"

I'd love to move to Van-Island but it's too expensive.
