Soon after his marriage in 1991, Ian moved to Vancouver's Mount Pleasant, where they lived together. His house was one of many in a refurbished heritage neighborhood. When the couple was raising two teenage sons, they decided to stay in Vancouver to continue going to the same school instead of taking up offers from news agencies in the United States, which would have forced them to move.
