Where is the best place in Canada for a young Scottish couple to move to?

We are thinking of moving in 2010/2011 and will be looking for somewhere with a flourishing hospitality industry. Ideally we'd be looking for somewhere in or on the outskirts of the city with good links to more scenic areas as we both enjoy camping and hiking etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Your best bet is Vancouver, especially with the Olympics heading there that year there will be a lot of hospitality jobs available. You can get a decent price living in the suburbs there as the downtown core has extremely expensive living costs. There is plenty of nature around that area, some of the world's best camping, and you won't have to deal with the snow, but be warned it rains every day...yes every day but not the whole day, usually an hour or so because of the Rockies that are so close by.

Another option would be Ottawa but unless you are bilingual in French and English you will have an extremely hard time finding a job here, it's mostly government employed so not really a big boom in the hospitality industry but you can definitely get more for your buck here in terms of living costs compared to other cities in Canada.

Finally, the biggest boom will be Toronto, but with the recession I hear it's quite hard to find a job there right now.

Saskatchewan.....hands down!
We are seeking 10,000 immigrants per year until 2020.
Reasonable land prices, rental accommodations and lots of work to choose from.
Ontario and B.C. are so over priced, you'll never be able to afford your own place. And, way over populated.

Have you thought about Alberta? With the Olympics in 2010, Canada will try to "package" itself as the hottest travel destination and would do anything to keep world visitors in Canada. The next biggest city from Vancouver would be Calgary, Alberta. Calgary is one of the more rapidly growing cities in Canada (though not as expensive as Vancouver yet)...it's close to many well-known touristy places - Banff, Lake Louise, etc. These towns get a lot of visitors summer (camping) and winter (skiing) alike. So the hospitality industry is strong and will become stronger with the Vancouver 2010 games.

You could look at the Great Lakes Region.
Land prices can be high.
You could also try central Ontario around Algonquin Park.
There are portions of Canada named after places early emigres left in Scotland.
Areas around Kincardine, Ontario, for example, are quite touristy.

Don't move to Toronto if you want to camp or hike. Niagara falls is the ideal for you. Its a tourist city which receives tourist from all over Ontario and USA-Michigan/new york. Since Niagara falls has water fals you can imagine the great hiking trials. It is one of the few place in southern ontario where the environment actually will be preserved because it is making tourist $$$. Niagara falls is not to large in size so it ill be easy for you to liv eon the outskirt of the city yet get into town without traffic, you will not get that in toronto. The tourist sleepin so no morning traffic.

It is obviously the most scenic place, it has falls which get million of visitors, its like a world wonder.

This place has nothing but a hospitality industry it has restuarants that cannot even be found in Toronto because it is so close to USA and hence has the best stores/malls in Canada

Rankin Inlet has the hottest hospitality industry in Canada, you must move there. You won't get a job anywhere else because there are none.

I'd say Saskatchewan :) It's a fantastic place to live and the cost of living is still very low. Also, we need 120,000 more workers here and 25 % of that is projected to come from international immigration.
