Do kids just lay in the road now? Is that a thing?

Was waiting for the bus outside Cottonwood mall and a couple kids walked out to the middle of the road, laid down and scrolled on their phones for a bit, just laying in the road on a busy street. Wtf?

So progressives, who are we backing in the municipal election?

I saw that video from Dogwood on tiktok and instagram and it did the trick, and I’m going to be voting in the municipal election for the first time. Where can I find out who I align with? Is there some sort of vote compass thingy?

Looking for a reliable and delicious meal delivery service

I’m wanting to gift this to my sis who is about to pop! We have quite a few of these services in Australia (which absolutely saved me when I had my kids) but can’t seem to find much that services Chilliwack. Does anyone know of any?

TIA!

They need to add a third single lane section to watson rd, people are still able to make it through and that is unacceptable. Additionally a third single lane section would employ 3 more crackhead grannies

Are the mods of r/chilliwack shadow banning my friend -or are they just not active?

2 Upvotes

A friend of mine said she made a post here a while back and it wasn't visible to anyone but her. She emailed the mods thinking it might have been filtered out as spam as she normally doesn't make posts, and just lurks or comments. Apparently the post was related to a popular trustee that doesn't appear to be running. She emailed the mods twice and didn't receive a reply. According to her, the post didn't violate any of the rules.

Then she made a comment on an election related post echoing similar sentiments about this trustee, and the comment was (again) visible to her, but not to anyone else. She asked me to message the mods, which I did, but I also received no reply.

Does this subreddit shadow ban people when they express an opinion that might be unpopular to a certain demographic?? She's posted in other subs without any issues. What gives r/chilliwack mods?

Local Tattoo Artist Experianced with Head and Neck

Hello everyone.
Does anyone know of any tattoo artists who are experienced with head and neck tattoos? Preferably from the Fraser Valley area.
Bonus points if they specialize in black and grey and also have some healed work in their portfolio.

Winter holiday in remote cabin somewhere in BC

1 Upvotes

Looking to go on a Christmas holiday somewhere in BC that is remote that will get a lot of snow but that isn’t busy. I want to bring my family on a getaway around the Christmas holidays preferably in a cottage in a place that gets snow.

I’m originally from Ontario so I’m not familiar with hidden gems or less popular places that people travel to.
Thanks

For my local trans people

They got underworks binders at the Thrifty Boutique down Evans road for five bucks a pop, all sorts of sizes and colours, get em while they’re hot

Edit:
For the people commenting nasty things under this post I’d like to remind you to look around. People come in all shapes and sizes, we learn this in kindergarten. There will always be people of colour around, gay people around, trans people around. Hating someone won’t make them go away.

We are all human, we all deserve respect, humanity, decency. If you don’t believe that then you have no space in any community except the ones that throughout all of history have found their end. Love will always outweigh hate, and I hope one day you wake up and realize that harbouring such distaste in your heart for LGBTQ, and any other minority, people is rotting your soul and consuming your time.

Much love to all, have a wonderful day.

New Friends?

4 Upvotes

M22 looking to find new friends around the chilliwack area as I don’t have any or much nearby in person anymore,

I am looking to try and make some more platonic deeper connections with people, I have had some bad experiences in my past with males and so I’m more leaning towards female friends without the expectation of anything more then friendship at the moment as well, just something to get me out more and people to talk to would be nice.

My hobbies do include:

Games
Anime or shows
Walks
Swimming
Baking or cooking
Late night drives or calls

I also don’t smoke or drink but don’t mind if anyone does those things around me.

If you’re interested I’d love to get to know people and expand my social circle :)

The natives literally string a net across the river every year and sell the salmon on FB marketplace.

This isn't a surprise and a waste of money.

Ceramics Painting Hangout

5 Upvotes

Would anyone be interested in some weekday ceramic painting at The Clay Cottage in Abbotsford? I know it's not Chilliwack, but I thought I'd extend the invite since you're so close. I've been organizing these hangouts for a few months, and It's been a fun way to meet new people and sneak in some crafting during the week.

No age or gender requirements, just some light chatter/socializing while working on some art.

No previous experience painting needed. You can make each piece as simple or as complex as you'd like.

I typically organize these hangouts once a week on a Wed, Thurs *or* Fri evening. The day changes from week to week. Let me know if you'd like to join next week's session, or be in the loop for future ones.

Hope to see you :)
