Daily mean across the year.
On the drier side for BC.
Hours of sun a year, 1981–2010 average.
Averaged from the last ten complete years of Environment Canada observations at the nearest principal station, so it reflects the climate as it is now rather than a thirty year normal. Bright sunshine is the exception: it is no longer measured at these stations, so that figure is the long term average.
In a mapped wildland-urban interface zone. Affects insurance and FireSmart requirements.
Based on where this point falls in provincial map layers, not a site survey or a formal hazard assessment. Confirm with the municipality, a professional, and your insurer before relying on it.
At 6.9094 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Estimated by applying the municipal rate to the asking price. Your actual bill is based on the BC Assessment value, which is set separately and usually differs from the sale price. Home owner grants are not included.
Variable mortgages are quoted against this.
Fixed mortgage pricing follows this.
Set by the Bank of Canada.
These are benchmark rates, not mortgage quotes. Your rate depends on the lender, the term, and your file.
