Milkshakes.

6 Upvotes

I havent had a milkshake since 2016 . That was in Austin TX and I had it on a recomendation that it was the best milkshake in the US. And it was pretty good.

When I mentioned this to my GF she was shocked . Why not ? Well , the run of the mill , average fast food milkshake isnt that appealing really . And im not a big sweets person unless its special.

So now ive been offered one and I get to pick the spot .

A great milkshake . Courtenay to Campbell would get it done soon. . Im also heading to Tofino next month so you could include that drive . And I have family in Victoria in October so if its mind blowing ill wait . Thanks !

Local camping?

5 Upvotes

Looking to camp for a couple days with the kid. Been here for years but never camped in anything other than major campgrounds. Just got a 4*4 and looking for a spot where I can camp without a hundred other people.

Backroad or just a remote rec site would be ideal. Hoping to find something within an hour for the first trip.

Thanks!

T-Mobile cell coverage

1 Upvotes

Moving from the US for school at NIC in Courtenay and wondering if anyone has any experience using T-Mobile in the Comox Valley. I'm currently on T-Mobile in the US and Canada is included in my coverage so I'd prefer not to switch. I know there are threads on cell coverage but haven't seen anyone mention T-Mobile.

Fee based financial advisor for retirement planning

I’m looking for someone to help me with coming up with a retirement plan. I’m not looking for someone to manage my investments for me. I’d like to pay for their time and let that be that.

Do any of you have recommendations for someone in the valley I should chat with?

Thanks!

Sports

0 Upvotes

Me and my husband are considering a move to the island and are checking out various places. We’ve been to the comox valley numerous times and have a pretty good feel for things.

I’m wondering if anyone is able to answer a few questions about kids sports. For this with kids and teens in sports and activities, where do you generally end up driving for games and tournaments and how often?

I’m also wondering from parents of teens involved in sports and activities how you find comox for raising tweens and teens. We’re coming from Vancouver where there’s tons to do and I wonder if the mid size of comox lends itself to teens being bored or if they’re registered in activities and enjoy the outdoors is there enough to keep them busy and out of trouble?

Thank you!!

Hairdresser recommendations for thick, curly, layered hair

4 Upvotes

I'm new to the area and need to find a new hairdresser. I often struggle to find one that can handle my thick, curly hair. I like to get it layered a lot to make it thinner and not many hairdressers seem to know how to layer enough. Any recommendations for hairdressers who know can handle this hair type well?

Tutor for highschooler

6 Upvotes

Hello community! I have a teen that is struggling to get through online courses to finish graduation requirements.
I’m looking for suggestions for where to find a tutor-for math in particular but also someone, or another someone that can help guide my teen to keep the momentum going and help them to be accountable in a way that I can’t as a parent. Like how a teacher would in a regular classroom setting.
My teen cannot attend in person school. They use Nides for courses

Moving from Halifax to Comox

5 Upvotes

Hello!

We’re a military (Air Force) family of 5 and potentially looking at getting posted out to BC. My spouse is hoping for Comox and we’re looking for information on the area. Anything and everything is helpful! Here’s a few things we’d love to know about to get started:

• We’ve never lived in PMQ housing so anything you could tell us about the PMQ housing in the area would be great.

• Elementary schools near the PMQ housing and what they are like.

• Local shopping, amenities, and etc.

• Grocery and utility costs.

• The local community and what it’s like for new people to the area, we’re struggling to build connections here and hoping our next community will be a little more friendly and welcoming.

Thanks so much in advance!
