The pandemic made us realize that the real-world space we occupy can affect our mental and physical health. If you’re thinking about rejoining the workforce and relocating for work to improve your all-around health options, think about moving to eastern Ontario.
When COVID first hit, living in highly populated areas was scary. Lockdowns meant no outdoor spaces for those living in multi-unit buildings with no access to private yards or public spaces close by. Even now as we enter the third year of the pandemic, the opportunities to feel free can be few and far between when you’re surrounded by people and competing for your own space. Real estate prices have skyrocketed, especially in already high-cost markets, putting homeownership and backyards out of reach for many.
While the past two years have wreaked havoc on mental health, some positive changes have also occurred that open possibilities for people looking to improve their quality of life and make a life change.
There’s been no better time to think about making positive changes in your life than now during the pandemic. There is hope for a better quality of life, even as we work through COVID’s impact on society.
Eastern Ontario has smaller urban areas and large swathes of rural and natural land. Public parks, conservation areas and other outdoor recreation opportunities mean you can do more activities without fear of infection.
Work-from-home mandates opened up new opportunities to find more me-time for workers who have spent their working lives commuting. Long drives or transit rides to and from work have taken up a lot of living time. Now, with work-from-home options being accepted by many employers, workers can live further from their head offices and still retain their jobs.
A land of opportunity can be found in eastern Ontario, as there are many different industries and work opportunities for job seekers. Plus you can achieve your own work-life balance with non-work-related activities to enhance your quality of life.
COVID has had disastrous effects on the world. However, there is a way forward for you to improve your life and live better in Canada while managing the pandemic. If you’re considering moving to eastern Ontario, take the opportunity to create the life you’ve always wanted.
