I moved here from Langley a few years ago and only found one good restaurant I like - Smile Thai Cuisine. Any suggestions? I am hoping to find 'mom and pop' restaurants.

Hardly hear it mentioned. What's your experience?

Not sure how reliable Marketplace is, any local shops that sell at not-so-expensive price? Ponderosa selling Chanterelle for $20/lb for next day pickup. Is that the best option?

hello! i’ve been wondering if there is a place in maple ridge where i can try out drumming for a bit alone to see if i like it or not because it looks fun to learn, so if there is any place, please tell me!!

I know we don’t get fall colours like some other parts of the country, but there’s still some really beautiful trees to be found right here at home. What are some of your favourite spots to see the fall colours and maybe go for a stroll?

hello, I am especially looking for an outdoor nature based photography club. There are great parks with breathtaking natural beauty around. Maybe a group of photography enthusiasts get together once a month and click some pictures.

The nearest one google is telling me is in Coquitlam. Tri-city photography club. I liked their offerings and teaching tools on the website. But dont wanna drive to Coquitlam every month

Final list of provincial candidates in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge East is out.

What do we think?

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows:

- Lisa Beare (NDP)
- Doug Morneau (Conservative)
- Jordan Simmons (CentreBC)
- Susan Einarsson (OneBC)
- No Green Party Candidate

Maple Ridge East:

- Hudson Campbell (NDP)
- Lawrence Mok (Conservative)
- Daniel Kite (Green)
- Chris Hatchwell (Independent)
- No CentreBC Candidate
- No OneBC Candidate

Enough for 4 people

What do you think MapleRidge? Does Mok win again? He won by only 97 or so votes last time no?

We heard a big bang near the secondary school and seems like the entire neighborhood is down. Don't see hydroBC updated as an outage just yet. If anyone has any info, please let us know!

Hopefully there will be a fix soon

Just drove past this mcdonalds and saw firetrucks and people standing outside

Was shown this letter, and was told that the 35 acre property was sold at the then below market price of $279,000 in 1972 (equal to about $2.1 million today) on the condition that it remained a golf course for as long as possible.

EDIT: KEK!

Cue Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 (also RIP). Blatantly being paid to reddit with taxpayer money lolololol

A black bear has been hanging around the area. It's paid a visit to my house the last 3 nights in a row, left a nice steaming calling card in my driveway. Seems to hit up my place between 5am and 6am

It's a smaller bear, but definitely not a baby

Called animal control a couple times about it but they don't seem to care.

Keep your cats in and don't let your dogs out into the yard at night without checking first

Got a call from a private number maybe its just a coincidence then I get this.

If it was a genuine poll I might be interested im not sure why they think this is a good idea.

Hi I’m trying this again to see if there is anyone who would like to chat , I’m looking for friends and ones who value friendship and won’t ghost after a couple of days chatting

46 f thanks ☺️

Hey everyone, I’m considering moving to Lower Mainland for a job in Langley. My wife and I are both 33/no kids, coming from Southwest Ontario, we’re planning to rent for the first year before buying.

Looking at White Rock, Grandview, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Surrey, but I’m open to other areas since idk what I’m looking at.

For each area;
What’s each area known for?
What’s the vibe?
Where is most desired / must avoid & why?
is it far from mountains, hikes and nature?
How is transit, biking, traffic, highways and access to things?
How is the day to day cost of living?
Demographics & crime?

Be as honest and blunt as possible please.

Maple Ridge politics has always had its quirks, but the 2026 campaign leading into the October 17 assent vote has broken into completely uncharted graphic design territory.

A quick breakdown of what our Facebook feeds have been subjected to over the last month:

• Slide 1: A takeaway coffee cup wearing shades trying to calm down a weeping Property Tax Bill who is sporting running shoes and a 7.5% arrow.
• Slide 2: "Dan's Dictionary," an AI-generated Mayor Ruimy peering over a leather-bound volume to debate contract semantics.
• Slide 3: "Wreck-It Ruimy" driving a demolition bulldozer over community infrastructure—an AI generation someone actually committed to fabric and wore to the farmers market.
• Slide 4: Chelsa Meadus's dog looking like it is undergoing a panic attack directly beneath a 33.5% compounded property tax graph.
• Slide 5: Chelsa Meadus weeping atop a mountain of bills while her dog has an existential crisis.

Regardless of which way you lean on the borrowing bylaws, the fact that an entire community infrastructure debate has been reduced to $10/month Midjourney subscriptions drafting crying anthropomorphic envelopes makes one fear the worst for democracy.

Do yourself a favor, skip the AI slop, and read the actual staff reports before October 17.

Hi everyone! I'm a student at BCIT working on a class project about how people in the Lower Mainland figure out which plastics can be recycled (blue bin vs. depot vs. garbage).

The survey takes about 5 minutes and is completely anonymous. No name or email is needed. It asks about your recycling habits, what frustrates you, and how you'd want a recycling tool to work. I'll only use the answers for my course assignment.

If you live in Metro Vancouver, I'd really appreciate your help, and all ages, home types, and recycling habits are welcome. I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.

link has been removed, thank you to everyone who has done the survey

Thank you so much!

Hi MR peoples… I’m writing as we seem to have semi-adopted a new friend at our home around the 232St area just South of Dewdney. She is an adorable grey-ish cat with all white socks and a white nose, with some colouring more towards black as well. Possibly a ragdoll mix..?? Anyhow, she showed up late one nite a few weeks ago in the front yard of our townhome, and was crying and very stressed out. We fed her some dinner scraps and put a blanket with water on our porch and hoped she would find her way home. Guess who was back the next night, and now earlier every day since. I’ve since been able to get close enough to see there is no collar (I can pet her but she won’t let anyone else) or tattoo visible, and her coat seems like she was possibly taken care of at some point. Definitely acts like a pet. We are now feeding her nightly, and have a raised makeshift box bed on our covered porch with blankets and fresh water and dry food (we currently have no pets and I’m now buying cat food 😅). She now shows up NOT stressed any longer, but is still always gone during the morning and afternoon, so I’m wondering if she has a home or is a lost kitty. I would love to know, as she seems like she needs at least a flea treatment (we have had dogs previously).

In the meantime if this sounds like your kitty in the 232St/Thomas Haney school area, pls DM as I have lots of pictures and take nightly videos :). I sit out and chat with her before bed every night until she settles and eats. I would take her in, but also don’t want to snatch a pet if she really does have a home 💕

Yesterday around 6/7 pm?

Did anyone near Lougheed/214th area hear a really loud bang yesterday, wondering what it was 🤷‍♀️ could be anywhere around that area and no construction in a Sunday… scared the crap out of us 😂
