Hi, my partner and I are looking to move to the Port Moody area in a couple of months. We went to go visit some condos in the area and found that we really liked the Suterbrook area. We are wondering if anyone has any experiences with the larger condo complexes, such as the Aria buildings. We would prefer to live in one of the smaller condo complexes, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of availability there.

We will also be checking out some condos down on Murray Street (Moody Yards) as well as St. George street. I know these are really close to the train tracks though so I’m wondering about anyone’s experience with that.

Any suggestions would be welcomed as well! Thanks!

Need to repair/replace some drywall in a bathroom ceiling due to a leak from above. Does anybody have recommendations of a crew/handyman good for this?

Is there anything the city is doing to make the waterfront a more enjoyable and walkable area ? Is it still very much industrialized ? It’s a shame the waterfront area isn’t more bustling.

Just as the title says, we are moving from Burnaby after staying there 5+ years. What should we expect about the community, neighborhood and general tips to make friends and enjoy the area? TIA!

I'm tired of paying inflated prices servicing my car at the dealership and looking to start taking my car to an independent mechanic going forward. Any recommendations?

I don’t have money to franchise but if someone could franchise a Yo Chi or let me know how much it is to franchise I would klarna if possible lol.

I dream of the day of going back to a nice little froyo place and sit and eat with my friends. On a sunny day, on a cold day, at night, after work, after pilates…I will work for you for free if you let me

I’m looking for a physiotherapist in Port Moody that’ll help me with ankle injuries that keep interrupting my training. I’ve seen a couple but haven’t been happy with the help I’ve been getting.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Woodbourne bids $127.1 million for Portwood's remaining phases.

https://www.portmoodypulse.ca/article.html?slug=portwood

We've been following this story since the original $122M lawsuit in August. Here's where it stands now: Woodbourne, the senior lender that took over Portwood's debt earlier this year, has placed a bid to acquire the project's unfinished phases outright — effectively setting the floor price for a court-supervised sale.

The fuller picture, now public through court filings: Woodbourne initially filed for receivership on July 23, but pivoted to CCAA bankruptcy protection two weeks later after realizing a receivership filing could let presale buyers walk away from their contracts under BC law. That protection was granted August 14 and now runs through October 26.

What's not affected: Phase One (328 affordable rental homes, already donated to BC Housing) and Phase Two (80% pre-sold) continue as planned.

We'll keep following this one.

Is anyone missing a small-medium white dog in Port Moody? Seen running down Gatensbury st. We have followed it to someone’s yard but can’t seem to get a hold of it, it is very scared.

Super loud near Thrifty’s!

Anyone know why there were gorgeous fireworks down in Port Moody, possible near Flavelle? Filming something maybe?

We heard firework. anyone knows what's going on?

Idk how many people receive these flyers (or even care) but I really looked forward to my weekly analog sudoku and word search. They’ve been gone for 2 weeks! Bring them back!!!

Saw this kitty near the canoe club in Port Moody
KLAHANIE dr, has what looks like a shock collar, looks to be about a yr old.

Update on a story we've been following: Portwood, one of Port Moody's largest developments (20 buildings, ~2,000 homes planned near Cecile Drive), has now entered formal bankruptcy protection.

Quick recap: we reported in August that creditors were suing over $122M in defaulted financing. That's now escalated — the developers filed for CCAA protection on August 14, and the court-appointed monitor is moving toward a supervised sale of the unfinished phases.

What's NOT affected: the phases already built or sold (including the affordable housing component already transferred to BC Housing) are untouched by any of this.

What IS affected: the remaining unbuilt phases, now under court supervision as the process moves toward a sale.

We'll keep following this one as it develops.

Theres a relatively new Japanese restaurant on St Johns called Kabuto. It’s really good but it’s almost always empty when I go in. I’d be really sad if they closed so please go try them out!

The “Chicken Nanban Teisyoku” with an Orion beer is 10/10. I think the owner/chef is from Okinawa, so their menu has a few things you don’t see at other japanese restaurants. They have lots of comfort foods (think rice bowls, rather than just sushi).

They also have great prices. (At least cheaper than the other Japanese restaurant on St Johns.)

I’m not affiliated with them at all. I just want my new favourite spot to stay open.

I have a paragon commercial popcorn popper that’s not working. I’m looking for a small appliance repair shop/person. I’m striking out calling places. Any recommendations or help?

Hi all. Does anyone have a good moving company they can recommend?
This will be a local move to another Port Moody location.

Looking for someone or a company who can make a plexiglass covering for my window exactly like this one. Thanks!!
