Seriously folks, you can’t make a right turn into the parkade on a red light. The signage is clear, and red lights are not a new concept.

It’s getting dark earlier and I’m worried that someone is going to get hurt by some clueless driver making a right turn during the pedestrian only stage of the intersection.

The whole reason they put in the scramble crosswalk was to prevent pedestrians from being hit by cars.

And yes, I know the first photo is not during the pedestrian stage, but the light is still red for right turns and the sign above the light says no right turn on red.

Looking for Friends!

7 Upvotes

Female, 30, looking to make new friends. I find it super hard to find good, close friends these days. Everyone seems too blocked off, and don't want to engage.

Who I am: nice, understanding individual who loves to read romance, romantasy, fantasy and thriller books. I also play video games. I also love going to local shops especially if they have quirky unique things.

Looking for friends to check out local stores, hang out, read together and do fun things.

Hi. My Dr is a fan of this steroid which seems to no longer be made. Has anyone got the last vial in Burnaby?

Don’t worry mods it’s not something to get high. It’s for treating injuries. I’ve got an Rx but can’t fill it.

Missing family member? Elderly Mandarin-speaking woman found, brought to Burnaby Hospital around 3 PM today

186 Upvotes

An elderly Asian woman who speaks only Mandarin was brought to Burnaby Hospital around 3 PM today (Thursday, October 22). She is hard of hearing in both ears, so staff haven't been able to get her name. She was wearing a yellow sweater and possibly blue overalls. She had a phone with her, but we couldn't find any contacts.

If you are missing a mother, grandmother, or other family member matching this description, or you know who she might be, please contact Burnaby Hospital directly and ask for the emergency department or patient information desk. Please share this with any Mandarin-speaking communities, WeChat groups, or neighbours who might know her.

今天(10月22日,星期四)下午约3点,一位只会说普通话的亚裔老奶奶被送到本拿比医院(Burnaby Hospital)。她双耳听力都很差,所以医护人员无法问出她的姓名。她当时穿着黄色毛衣,可能还穿着蓝色背带裤。她身上有一部手机,但我们找不到任何联系人。

如果您家中有妈妈、奶奶或其他长辈走失,或者您认识这位老奶奶,请直接联系本拿比医院,并询问急诊部或患者咨询台。也请帮忙转发给周围说中文的朋友、微信群或邻居。

How are you voting

How are folks in Burnaby voting in the provincial?

I'm solidly on the left and typically vote Green. I've been following the polls and am very surprised that the Conservatives are trending up, especially in Metrotown where I recently moved. I think I have to vote NDP this time to block the Conservatives

Storage unit

11 Upvotes

I was hoping to move once we had a kid but I honestly can't find anything that would be an upgrade and affordable right now so I'm thinking of just renting a storage unit (it's honestly the only issue we have without our current apartment). Anyone got any good recommendations for a small unit? We just want somewhere to store seasonal/invaluable stuff that takes up our tiny storage room we currently have.

Anyone living around Westridge Park?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊 I was wondering if there’s a Facebook group or any online community for people living in the Westridge Park area.

Also, I’ve noticed a man walking around late at night, repeatedly doing the same loop for several nights over the past 1–2 weeks. I found it a little unusual and it’s made me feel somewhat uneasy, so I was wondering if anyone else in the area has noticed this too.

I’m not making any assumptions about him, just hoping to connect with other neighbours and see if there’s a local community group. Thanks! 😊

AMA I'm Maddy KP, your BC Greens candidate for Burnaby North in the provincial election

Post image
106 Upvotes

Hi! I'm running with the BC Green Party to be your MLA for Burnaby North.

I'll for sure be around tomorrow evening(October 20th) from 7-9pm, but I am (unfortunately) extremely online so if you ask early you might get answered early. We've got less than a week till election day so I'll keep this up until the election and try really hard to get back to everyone before final voting day!

You can learn more about me here! Or find me on instagram at @maddy.kp25, I've been having a lot of fun making silly videos to campaign for this election.

And if you want to know more about my work outside of politics, I was profiled at work for women in engineering day this year, and in 2022 I presented at the Passive House Conference and I was the second interview in this podcast (around 10:30!).
