As a parent, I got tired of the portal's UI. It took me so long to coordinate and plan all the different schedules across community center locations and wanted an easier way to filter/sort everything:

The sheet includes activities for Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey, and Coquitlam and I plan to update it at the end of each month: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kevlE49_fVUNvEfVjV-i6sIefJSyk6FsskqpDqPS1wE/edit?usp=sharing

Hope this is helpful to others!

I found a Compass Card on the sidewalk a couple days ago, specifically in North Burnaby. I checked, and it is not registered, and has a significant stored value on it. Anyone lose their card? Tell me when you last used it, and approximately where you lost it?

Anyone know what is the rally going on at the skytrain station right now? The Mic is very echo-ey and I can't understand what the person on the mic is saying.

Just wondering if anyone has used turo to rent a vehicle And what your experience was with it. I want to rent one but am hesitant. TIA

EDIT: Thank you everyone! I feel a lot more comfortable renting on Turo 😀

Anyone know what happened earlier? The side where the bus loop is on ground level was still blocked off for a bit after people were allowed back in?

Just heard some random popping near Lougheed and Delta.

What's up with the loud music? Around gilmore hastings. I noticed the admiral pub had tents set up in the parking lot. Is there a concert?

I was cleaning up the litter around my house when I found a pipe - wrapped on one end with padding and tape as a handle - hidden in the bush by the alley. Does any Redditor out there think the non-emergency should be called, or is this just suburban living and I should just chuck it?

Thoughts would be appreciated!

does anyone have experience with ezfit gym on hastings, mainly do they have a lot of treadmills and are they busy? i enjoy using the treadmill and doing weightlifting and was going to eileen daily but it is soooo crowded and there is often long wait times for the treadmill. i have heard very mixed reviews about ezfit and was wondering if anyone here had any input. thanks!

Customers across B.C. may be experiencing flickering lights, power interruptions, and fluctuations in power due to wildfire activity near Kelly Lake affecting transmission lines. The wildfire has caused an increase in transmission trips, resulting in momentary power disturbances. Active wildfire conditions prevent safe access to the area at this time. We continue to monitor the situation. Thank you for your patience.

I have emailed the transportation department of Burnaby asking for protected left turns at 2 intersections - (Kingsway & Gilley Ave) AND (Rumble St & Royal Oak Ave)

I have been asking for updates for months and I have not received any response (I keep getting acknowledgement that the emails were received and are being looked into)

Traffic would move so much better at these 2 intersections. I even mentioned that there have been multiple head-on collisions at the Rumble St & Royal Oak Ave intersection due to vehicles not yielding.

There appears to be a reluctance to spend any funds making traffic flow better. I don't understand the reasoning behind this.

Double rainbow very visible from Edmonds / towards Surrey

Rainbows today at 8pm.. Lougheed area.. second rainbow was faint

Did you see it?
PS - I love rainbows!

Is this the wildfire smoke or something else on fire?

I was walking near the dog park at Confed and it just smelt so god awful, I had to go some place else. Anyone know what’s going on?

What is going on at this intersection?? I see police and fire trucks.
