My name is Lara. I grew up in Nelson and lived there for almost 14 years. I moved to Calgary in the spring of 2002, and I have been working and going to school since. I no longer have any family in Nelson, but My heart is still there in the beautiful Kootenays!! God do I miss Kootenay lake!! The only lake in Calgary is a man made hole of water!! It totally sux!! I miss the mountains, and I miss the woods, but Calgary is a beautiful place if you like the city!!
