I recommend the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario. There’s lots of high-tech, and (as is often the case in Canada) you don’t have to drive far from the urban downtown to reach the kind of rural areas like Strawberry that perhaps you would prefer. I’m living in Baden ON myself. It’s a bit more laid-back than the Boston MA area where I was born.

Of course, the weather is bit on the cool side here. Our current temperature is -2°C (windchill = -8°C), with freezing rain in the forecast. Strawberry AZ is currently +8°C, same as Vancouver BC.
