  Relocating to Merritt. Study your location well, that area and town will take years to be fixed. And good luck getting flood insurance riverside.

We looked at Merritt as a potential retirement spot but rejected it because they had a 2 dog only bylaw.  We have three dogs.  Other than that....it had pretty much everything we were looking for.  Lots of road loops for day trips.  Good shopping and easy access to major centers.

Heard  on the news that Highway 8 repairs are considered temporary......still an impressive achievement, to re-establish a road along that area.

Overland water damage coverage has been unavailable in large swaths of Merritt since the beginning of time.
