“I just had to drop you a note to let you know how grateful I am for what you are doing for families.

My family and I moved to the Comox Valley 3 years ago and we found it difficult to find places to walk with our little ones as well as find a “one-stop” resource spot for families. We are thrilled to have Our Big Earth literally at our fingertips. I love all the info on this site and we are looking forward to checking out the trails you have suggested.

Thanks Again
Shauna J. and Family”

“Wow Robin,
I stumbled across your blog while searching for something else and was so impressed. We have lived in the CV for 6 years, but I had missed hearing about you in cyberspace. So much good stuff you have got there. I hope it’s ok if I recommend your site on some other local email groups I am on.
Thanks so much for sharing yourself, and putting together such a great site.

“Hello to you all.

We just moved here from Canmore AB, myself my husband and our 2 boys 2yr and 4yr old. My husband and I wanted to be near the ocean, in a close comfy connected community with lots to offer. So we sold our home and moved here to the valley.

We had never ever been here before, even for a hoilday. We did find your website and it sure made us feel like this would be a fabulous place to raise our kids, so great job to you all. This site made us feel an instant connection to the valley and the people in it, and i use it everday to start off my day the right way. Thank you sooooo much and i look forward to spending many more mornings with you and the crew at ourbigearth.

Thank you again,

Nadine”

“Hearing about the walk registration makes me miss having a houseful of kids to take along. So sad! My gang loved the weekly walks! I have been inspired to do a bit of exploring on my own that I have some ideas of where to look though. Once you get started exploring nature it’s hard to stop.
