I couldn't have asked for a better location. James Bay is a scenic area, very calming to look out at the ocean every day. You can walk to downtown in about 10 mins and there are local shops and restaurants nearby. If you're taking local buses you can get on a 50 bus at Government and Superior it's a 30 minute bus ride and that lets you off when you go on a 10 minute walk you'll get to Thetis Lake, it was a gorgeous lake to swim. Winnie is a well spirited lady who is there to help you with anything you may need.
