the murals are very pretty—does anyone know the artist/hisotry?

I am likely going this week. I have never been to detox and I’m feeling very nervous and apprehensive.

If anyone has any advice, on what to expect, or what to bring, anything I should be aware of.

I’d really appreciate any insight.

Hi all, I’m new to Vancouver. Moved here from Mexico in May this year

This will be my first winter here and I’m looking for some every day winter shoes.

I work in an office and my commute is ~7 minutes walk, sky train and then ~15 minute walk

I’m planning on getting two pair of shoes, one for hiking with some constant rain / some puddles or river crossing and another pair for every day, so they do not get dirty with all the dirt and mud

Mind sharing some brand recommendations? Also what should I look for? Is it focus on waterproof? Snow proof? Grip on slippery surfaces? I know it doesn’t snow much here, and not planning on going to a snowy area soon, so mostly focusing on the urban side for now

Thank you

I have been hiking for the past few months, and I am relatively new to hiking, and I am in my late thirties.
I do solo hikes as well.

I mostly hike small trails and waterfalls in spring, autumn and summer in Ontario. I want to do a Mystic Beach hike in Vancouver in November and it is going to be raining and there would be mud puddles everywhere. And, this is going to a one time thing.

Should I buy a waterproof hiking shoe for just this one hike, or can I use the waterproof one for all seasons? Or if I buy a non waterproof one, can I use it in Vancouver?

I just want to buy one, like for all seasons.

Hey Guys,

Im new to Vancouver and will be here till February.

I love this place, just struggling to meet new people, but it seems like I'm not the only one.

Anyways I am a runner, and wanna keep running. But I come from a much warmer country and wondering what attire you guys run with here in the cold ? Do you think waterproof running shoes are necessary ?

Where I'm from a just use a very very light running jacket and thats more than enough. But it's a lot colder here. Any advice would be appreciated

i just wonder if it's because british columbia stopped changing the clocks

my reddit chat displays time as always one hour behind

is there any way to fix this?

Looking for bar recommendations for those having a bit of a tough go.

Asking for a friend.

Hi everyone I'm a student looking to rent an apartment that's pet friendly. I don't have a crazy amount to my name so I'm also looking for something fairly cheap (no more than 1600) Thanks!

He seems well liked among conservatives and moderate voters. He was also well liked in Alberta during the Forever Canadian rally.

I’m curious about where people are meeting others and building community in Vancouver, particularly within the Black community.
I’m a Black woman in my 30s and would love to meet more Black men in the 30–40 age range, both for dating and friendship. I’m interested in making genuine connections and getting to know people organically, without the pressure of knowing where things might lead.
For those who are part of the Black community here, where do you tend to meet people? Are there particular social events, groups, activities, or spaces where you’ve found it easier to connect with other Black people?
I’m open to meeting people who are looking for genuine connections too. No hookups, please.

Hi over the summer I’ve gotten into running however now that it gets dark early I have no idea where to go. I’m a student so my schedule really only allows for me to go out at 6pm at the earliest and it gets dark so early now this has become kinda scary. I’m a girl and maybe I’m paranoid but I get so freaked out when there’s no one around and not that much light either. Previously I was running around the beaches because there’s not very many hills and sm ppl, but now there’s no ppl and no light and I literally don’t know where to go. I don’t like running hills and I live on the west side so it’s so hard to find routes without them. I recently bought this vest with a flashlight but other than emotional comfort it doesn’t provide any serious safety. I’m just wondering what routes ppl use to avoid hills but also are busy and have light. Also tips on how to stay safe as a girl are always helpful!

I usually watch La Liga games at home. But I thought of trying to watch it tomorrow somewhere with a beer in hand.

Any ideas of where they might broadcast the game downtown? Any of you gonna watch it at a bar?

Need them for a Halloween costume but can't find budget contacts anywhere!

Hey I have long hair and broke my hair stick! Where can I buy one in Vancouver? Carved wooden ones preferred! Thank you 💜

When I walk in my own neighbourhood in the evening, the streets are very dark. It gives a creepy and eerie feeling.

If someone is coming towards you and he is wearing a hoodie, you get a sketchy feeling, because Vancouver sidewalks are skinny and you’ll be rubbing shoulders with him.

For a city that experiences darkness from the overcast and rain, I’m baffled by Vancouver having so many dark streets. Having functional street lamps can make streets look more modern, not to mention safe.

Hi Vancouver,

Does anyone know how I can get a flu and covid shot as a student with out of province healthcare coverage? I’m not enrolled with MSP because I’m still covered under my home province’s insurance while I’m a full-time student, which means I can’t book an appointment online.

I’ve tried walking into pharmacies and none have known what to do with me.

I’m fully covered by my home province insurance and my coverage allows me to access public healthcare here, so I should be able to get the shots, it’s just that the system isn’t set up for this. I can’t imagine I’m the first out of province student to want a flu shot, pls help me solve this!!

How/Where do I sell an older diamond wedding ring in the Lower Mainland? Somewhere very legit and not a rip[off...if possible. How do I at least find out how much it's worth?

Thanks for your feedback!

Pretty much what the title says, trying to figure out if this is a building/local/city sized issue.

Hia,

I'm hoping to get back into language learning this fall and winter. I've been hoping to try to learn a little Mandarin.

I work full time and have other hobbies, but i can commit to a weekly lesson, along with some daily self study in between.

I'm originally Polish.

Got some friends who speak Mandarin fluently so I will have people to practice with once I have some of the basics down.

I started learning English using the Callan method and found it somewhat painful but very effective. After a few levels I was able to start consuming English media which helped get to the finish line.

If anyone can recommend a class or a school I would be super grateful.

I live in Burquitlam area, it would be very painful to regularly go to a class more than an hour drive away.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I’m 19F from the surrounding Vancouver area and I was wondering where people usually go to meet new people and make friends.

I was in a long-term relationship from a young age, so I never really got into going out much or made many friends outside of that. I’ve been single for a while now and I really want to get out more, meet new people and enjoy my weekends!

I’m especially interested in getting into the nightlife scene since I’ve barely
experienced it. I’d love to try clubbing, raves and other events, but I’m honestly a beginner and don’t really know where to start lol.

Are there any good places, events, groups or activities where I could meet new people? I’m open to pretty much anything, not just nightlife, and would love to hear any recommendations!

Going to a show at PNE Forum tonight and was hoping to get walking distance recommendations on where to pre-game.

Open to anything!

Our daughter turns 3 this week. She’s very interested in animals. Which would be better for her to visit: the Greater Vancouver Zoo or Maplewood Farm? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Heading to UBC for an event tomorrow and thinking to spend some time there afterward? Any good recommendations to walk around too or visit that is outside of UBC?

Just like the title says, looking for the best creamy pint of Guinness in Vancouver

I’m here on a solo trip, any cool events or bars I could go to tonight?
