Rearranging and reestablishing employment, schooling, affiliate community memberships and activities for your family members is no small task. Particular attention must be given to define the ideal time period for these transitions such that disruption to your family members’ lives is minimized. Some time constraints may be: the completion your child’s school term, maintaining eligibility for employment bonus annuity periods, or completing seasonal employment opportunities to name a few. It is important to plan well ahead and take the time to investigate the various options that suit your family member’s needs and long term goals. After all, “a new address alone is not a home”. Valuable sources of information for establishing new community contacts and services are the regional Chamber of Commerce, District School Boards and of course the local Welcome Wagon.
