Tumbler Ridge: When a Community Feels Like Family
As a Realtor in Prince George, I talk about “home” every single day.
Bedrooms. Square footage. Neighbourhoods. Schools. Market trends.
But moments like this remind us that home has never just been about four walls and a roof.
Home is the arena where your kids lace up their skates.
It’s the grocery store where you run into three people you know before you make it to the milk aisle.
It’s the school drop-off line. The coffee shop. The neighbour who keeps an eye on things when you’re away.
For the people of Tumbler Ridge, home is all of that — and more.
When something shakes a town like Tumbler Ridge, it doesn’t stay contained to one street or one building. In northern communities, everything is connected. The rink, the school, the trails, the parents in the stands, the volunteers behind the scenes. It’s woven together.
And when one thread is pulled, everyone feels it.
Up here in the North, we understand that community isn’t just a nice word. It’s how we get through hard things. It’s meals dropped off without being asked. It’s checking in on someone just because you thought of them. It’s standing a little closer at the hockey game. It’s showing up.
That’s what makes a northern town strong.
As someone who helps families find houses, I’m always mindful that what people are really searching for is belonging. Safety. Stability. A place where their kids can grow up knowing their neighbours.
To the families in Tumbler Ridge, please know you are in our thoughts here in Prince George and across the North. You are not alone.
Home is not just the structure you live in.
It’s the people who surround you.
And in moments like this, the North wraps its arms a little tighter.
