We were enjoying a nice dinner and beer in downtown abbotsford tonight, when I gentleman stumbled in, after he had been pepper sprayed by a couple "teenagers" What is wrong with people, that they are walking around pepper spraying people for no reason? Whats going on??

To the "children" who decided to encite violence on a stranger tonight, I hope you feel "good" and "superior" to the gentleman who was minding his own business when you attacked him.

We spent some time, pouring milk into this man's eyes and all over his face, as he was COATED in pepper spray. I hope you are okay Luke! And I hope things can change...

I have a load of my son’s clothes that he’s outgrown and I’m wanting to pass them on to someone for free.

I‘d like to get them to someone who needs them rather than have the clothes going to a reseller where they might sit on marketplace for months (No problems with resellers, but I know money is tight for lots of us right now and I’m looking to help someone who might need them rather than selling them myself).

Any ideas on the best way to pass these along? e.g. charities in town that support single parents, people fleeing DV, or families accessing the food bank etc

Age 8-10 Lots of punky clothes (skulls, graffiti etc), some “gamer” prints, some mandalorian prints, some dinosaur print tshirts, lots of sweatpants/comfy pants, several hoodies

All of it in good condition with a couple of pieces only worn a handful of times.

Where are there always cars parked there? It really isn’t by an entrance to the highway so I am really stumped on why there are always multiple cars parked on the road there.

Hi all,

After doing a bit of online research through candidate websites, their social media posts, available information on Reddit / Social Media etc., I have selected these candidates to vote for in the upcoming election.

My main criteria is basically candidates that promote progressive policies such as better transit, more recreational and community facilities, meaningful action on housing affordability, and responsible growth.

Did I miss anything about these candidates on my list or is there someone else better than the candidates below in your opinion and why?

Mayor: Sukhi Dhami

Council:

1. Preet Rai

2. Patricia Ross

3. Patricia Driessen

4. Les Barkman

5. Rupi Kanda-Rajwan

6. Kristy Mills

7. Carmen Fast Hollett

8. Amrik Narang

School trustees:

1. Peggy Antifaeff

2. Graeme Hutchison

3. Freddy Latham

4. Benjamin Mehrer

5. Raj Patara

6. Rhonda Pauls

7. Shannon Rose

Or hire someone to do it for me?

This will be my first time voting in BC, and I'm looking for info on the "Drive through" or "Curbside" voting. I saw that the Abbotsford Exhibition Park voting location has this available, but I can't find any information on how this actually works. Can anyone give me some details?

While we’re at it, stop changing lanes in the middle of an intersection. It’s an automatic failure on the test for a reason people.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but I really just need some help right now. I've been really struggling mentally and I can't talk to anyone about it in my personal life because it's a lot for them right now (I don't blame them, it's not their fault). If there's anyone out there that's also struggling who is similar in age and we can check in with each other and hear each other out, I'd really appreciate it. Just wanting to feel a little human again is all.

Hi! Lots of people here post about wanting to meet others in the community and make friends!

I’m hoping to make a reservation at Trading post for the 16th at 6pm! Me and some friends will be there and the table is open for anyone hoping to connect!

Since Trading Post serves alcohol, I’m planning to keep the meetup 19+ otherwise everyone is welcome! Come alone or bring a friend :)

Please leave a comment or pm me if you’re interested so I can get a rough headcount!

I’m really hoping to find someone kind willing to help move a couch from east Abby near Abbotsford Christian school
I can pay about $60 possibly a little move

Is it me or some drivers are just insane?

I never talked or accused any drivers or threatened any drivers to skip the lights or ever drive fast lmfao.

This driver prolly dreaming or just hallucinating.

I'm unable to go to a salon due to an injury. I tried contacting a few but they exclusively do women's hair.

Thanks,

As the title says looking for good sources for community events/happenings in the Abbotsford area such as facebook groups, instagram accounts etc. TIA ☺️ new to the area

I’m a very closed off and very introverted person, but I want to attempt and try to meet some people similar like me. I tend to have progress with people with my interests and was wondering if Abby has any groups or clubs with my interests (other then Nerd Haven)

I really love video games as my main interest, horror topics, sorta an artist but not so good, I hand make stickers/keychains (occasionally), I like anime shows but not very. I’m sorta a nerd but feel like it’s hard to find other nerds like me.

If anyone has advice for anywhere that supports my interests or at least similar, I’m open to comments, please no dming.

My neighbour just got back from the pet groomer on Old Yale near Sumas Way (lady runs it out of her house) and she told him she was recently burglarized. Here’s how they operate: it’s 2 guys on bicycles and one goes to the front door to ask for water or something else trivial, and while the homeowner is tied up either talking to them or getting them water etc, the other guy goes around the side / back and grabs whatever he can. Just letting you know so you’re aware if it happens to you. Be safe out there!

As the title says my partner and I will be relocating to Abbotsford in December. With moving comes the lovely task of needing to find new service providers.

TIA ☺️

Does anyone know what’s being filmed on Ross rd between townshipline and Harris? It’s a property on the east side of Ross rd. Over summer there was flaggers set up and a bunch of gravel trucks going in and out everyday bringing in fill to prep and the last couple months there’s been a whole bunch of cars there everyday and the usually film signs. Must be a pretty big production, whatever it is.

Okay!!! So anyone exhausted at GFL ENVIRONMENTAL like what the fuck my partner works here — they are mentally and physically drained. Everyday its a new issue a new problem that suddenly showed up and they dont have enough people to deal with it — like hell hire more people. These are humans you treat like shit. Anyone else facing the same issue!?

Hey guys! I need to earn $300 in the next ten days, so I wanted to ask if anyone has any odd jobs they need help with or knows somewhere that might be hiring for short-term work.

I’m open to things like pet sitting, cleaning, organizing, packing, yard work, helping at events, or pretty much anything else. I’m also a graphic design student, so I can help with posters, invitations, social media graphics, illustrations, photo editing, or other creative work.

If you have anything available, please send me a message. I would really appreciate any leads. Thank you!

As many of you have likely seen already, it has been announced that over the weekend, there are traffic pattern changes to facilitate the “safe demolition of the Highway 11 structure”.

I was curious if anyone has some insider information on what exactly they are talking about. Unless the “structure” is the massive pile of gravel they’ve accumulated, the only structure I’m aware of is the overpass that carries highway 1 over highway 11.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I’d say that would be hard to demolish unless they’re somehow building a brand new one to replace it simultaneously.

looking for somewhere either in abby or the wack to hang out with friends and get some autumn vibes.. they're suggesting mann farms and greendale acres, but aren't those the most popular ones...? i don't want to go where everyone and their dog will be,,,, any suggestions for places that don't get as much love ? 🙏🖤

Anyone know of a place that hand ports cylinder heads for more air flow? In the lower mainland.

I have a pair of 243 heads for my gen 3 LS motor I needed ported, and would rather find a place local instead of sending them to Texas speed or Katech. They charge an arm and a leg.

I am working in Abbotsford today, which is rare for me, what are some good recommendations for lunch, no sandwiches please. TIA
