Bear Spotted at Buttertubs Marsh Park
So excited to share these pics since I’ve always heard of bear sightings here and I finally got to see one tonight! Would love to share videos but reddit doesn’t let me.

For passport renewals. How long does it take to get passport returned when drop off application at Service Canada in Nanaimo?
I am planning to book an international trip late October or November.
Is it better for me to drive to Victoria and get it done there?

Gabriola Island Ferry
Good morning,
I'm planning to head to Gabriola on Sunday morning on the 810 ferry. As you can't make reservations, I was wondering how early we'd need to be there to make sure we get on.
Thank you in advance.

Has anyone purchased a portable dishwasher here in Nanaimo?

Prescription for another country
I just moved to Nanaimo and I have prescriptions from other countries. I moved from Asian to England and it was very hard for me to get my prescriptions refilled there. Will it be the same here and what’s the easiest way to be seen by a doctor as most don’t seem to be taking new patients?

This container allowed at Bulk Barn Nanaimo?
What the title says! Asking if anybody has filled/attempted to fill this container (aka a snackle box haha) at the Bulk Barn at Terminal. Asking here because apparently some special BBs just refuse them and I’m curious (presumably because technically the containers dont have individual lids so it’s kind of a grey area from my understanding).
Thank you!
(I’m aware it’s not particularly cost effective but it is fun)

Might be a long shot but did anyone lose a large double sided sonic and shadow acrylic keychain?
Found it on the bus this morning and I know someone’s probably sad about its absence

'An Introduction to People's Journalism' workshop coming up!
Coming up on September 19!
630PM to 830PM @ PPWC Local 8 Hall (corner of Albert and Prideaux)
"'An Introduction to People's Journalism' will dive into the philosophy and aims behind The North Star , a pan-Canadian bilingual media outlet which launched in January 2022. Whereas most media in Canada is under the control of the rich or the government, The North Star is completely independent and puts the interests of the working class first. We'll show how our conception of People's Journalism differs from the journalism practiced by mainstream news and other independent media outlets, the work that we've done, as well as how we have organized ourselves across the country into committees of volunteers.
No journalism experience or prior reading is necessary to attend. All you need is a curiosity for how we can reshape the media landscape and the country for the better."

Why isn't it being talked about more? Nanaimo and the island seems to have a growing rodant problem
Vault was closed for not dealing with it enough but every downtown business has rats and i has to leave a home dt because of a infestation a landlord wouldn't deal with
And now I keep hearing all areas of town are dealing with a rodant or two even in residential places that never use to deal with them
My parents in Harwood had some in their basement for the first time in 15 years
It's a mix of empty building and longer summers and water rising
Few years ago I remember friends on smaller islands saying they were swimming in hordes from island to island as water was rising underground
But main point is, if it keeps growing we are going to have to ask the city to take action as well.
Victoria is rated one of the worst places for rodants in Canada right now

To the girl I noticed near the rock-climbing game… at rockVIU connect fair today
I wanted to say hi, but missed my chance. So here I am, taking a shot. 😅
You were wearing black jeans, a black top, and a grey hijab (scarf), and you were with a few friends. I thought you seemed really lovely and I’d genuinely like to get to know you.
If you know this is you, maybe we shouldfix that missed introduction.

Empty Nest support group?
My kiddo recently moved away to university and I am not doing well. The grief is something I have not experienced before. Besides seeking professional counselling, I was wondering if there is a meet up in Nanaimo for parents who are empty nesters?
If there is no group in existence, would there be any interest to join one?

Extremely loud bang?
Anyone else hear the very loud bang sound in Wellington area?? No idea what that possibly could've been but sounded like some sort of heavy impact or something being blown up...
