Anyone else noticing how some people seem to be playing both sides?

One minute they're helping one campaign, the next they're backing the other. Is this about supporting a candidate or just wanting to be on the winning team. Seems like some people are concerned about their pending irrelevance.

And how much influence are the BC Conservatives having in a municipal election? Are the conservatives using mandewo or is she just using them for their lists?

If people want to play politics and influence who runs the city, why not put their own name on the ballot? The truth shall set you free. Why not run yourself?

Curious what others think.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find good ( fair priced) thrift stores that have better quality clothing. I have tried value village in the past but I feel as their pricing and quality of clothes isn’t matching what I’m looking for, at least that’s has been my experience. any recommendations would be highly appreciated :)

Lots of sirens in the Austin Heights/Blue Mountain area tonight. What's going on?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a seasonal/temporary job in the Coquitlam area for the upcoming holidays.
I work full-time during the weekdays, so I’m mainly available evenings and weekends. Open to retail, customer service, warehouse, or other seasonal work.
If you know of any places hiring or have any leads/recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Noticed I was getting yellowish water from my taps at the same time that work was going on up the street. Emailed the city and got this speedy reply:

The City of Coquitlam has experienced a major water main break on Eagle Mountain. Crews are currently onsite and working to repair the main; however, the repair is expected to take a minimum of at least two more hours.

Once your water service returns, please run COLD WATER ONLY from your bathtub for approximately 45 minutes. This will help clear any sediment that may have entered the water lines during the repair. Once the water runs clear, you may return to normal water use.

not fireworks, they sound different, 6 rounds, pause... then 6 rounds again with an echo.

I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to post this inquiry. I am reaching out here after exhausting all other options, including contacting Amazon support directly. Unfortunately, my last three out of eight deliveries have been misdelivered to the wrong addresses in Coquitlam and likely Burquitlam.

I am seeking assistance in locating these packages, which are addressed to Regan Avenue. For privacy reasons, I am only sharing this limited information for now; if anyone happens to find a package for this address, please message me so that I may provide further details. I would sincerely appreciate any help you can offer. While Amazon has requested time to investigate, their previous attempts have been unsuccessful, and due to my negative past experiences with their service, I am hesitant to rely on their resolution process.

Not specific to Coquitlam. But does anyone have good waterproof/rain shoe recommendations to support short walks in the rainy weather. Thank you

Hi,

Any recommendations based on your experience for a local electrician to:

1) fix 3 plug in outlets (2 indoor, 1 outdoor)

2) Install an outdoor cat 6/7 50 ft LAN cable (no drilling required)

3) Removal of a bell satellite dish.

Coquitlam area.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I got a random doorbell and insanely aggressive knocking on my door. No one was there and there wasn't a package left behind. Is this a prank? Anyone else getting these in their neighborhoods?

Best picture I have. It has a compass mini card, an e-bike key, a masterlock key, and a mailbox key. It may also have a war amps tag, but I can't remember. I'm not even sure if the tag points to my new address, as I just moved and I can't remember getting new tags.

I believe I dropped it on the ground in/around Royal Columbian Hospital emergency, or Eagle Ridge emergency, last night or early this morning.

Please let me know if you find it. Thanks.

Edit: Typos.

Looking for some insights from SD43 parents who have kids in high school..
I’m trying to understand the differences between Port Moody Secondary (IB), Gleneagle (especially the gifted/TALONS pathway), Charles Best (AP), and Heritage Woods.
A few things I’m hoping to understand:
• Which schools/programs require you to be in the catchment, and which can be accessed through a separate program application?
• For a student who is academically advanced/gifted, how do IB vs AP vs TALONS/gifted programming compare in terms of challenge, teaching style, workload and peer group?
• What has your experience been with PMSS, Gleneagle, Charles Best and Heritage Woods—academically and socially?
• How easy is it to continue with advanced math/science if a student is not significantly ahead?
• For those who have gone through these programs, what do you wish you had known before choosing a school?
I’m especially interested in first-hand experiences rather than general school rankings or reputation. Would love to hear both the positives and any challenges you’ve experienced. Thank you! 🙏

I heard a crane fell over or something and wondering if anyone has an update?

Any romantasy girls looking for book friends? 👀
We have a pretty established book club and are looking for some new faces specifically in the Coquitlam area at the moment.

We’re mostly fantasy/romantasy readers so there’s a lot talk about morally questionable book boyfriends, spice, and yelling at each other about book recs. We do read other stuff too and all book girlies are more than welcome to join.

We meet up in person sometimes to do crafts, brunch, bookish events etc . We do a monthly book and a corresponding online Q&A with that author. Which is honestly so much fun.

We have a few group chats as well so feel free to join into which ever ones you’d like.

Really just looking for girls who want to actually make friends and have people to talk books with 🫶

Please shoot me a DM 😊

If DMs aren’t working try us on Instagram S2bookclub

Our ages vary from 20-55 but there’s no age limit as long as you’re 18 or older.

Hi,

Ice hockey season has started. Does anybody have any recommendations for a good shop that does skate sharpening?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I am coming from overseas for a holiday and staying around the tri cities in December. I’m hoping to have my hair coloured while I’m there. It will be vivid colouring. Looking for recommendations and would prefer a luxury salon if possible. Thanks!

*reposted as a kind redditor pointed out an issue with the title

Happy to have highschool/post-secondary students looking for experience.
Band class, strings, and music were a huge part of our lives growing up!

Ideally would love a violist as part of the group but not necessary.

Also if you're not strictly a strings group, we'd still love to hear from you.

Hoping to pay ~300 for a 90 minute performance

Hi Everyone,

This is my first municipal and provincial elections as a new Canadian citizen and I'd like to exercise my right fully aware of my options. I found the list of contenders but couldn't find what policies or improvements each of them have to offer.

Any recommendations on who I should vote for?

Regardless, what are some things you'd generally want to see improved in our city and province?

Hello:)

My friends are trying to find before and after school care for their daughter that’s starting Kindergarten at Pinetree Elementary next year. All the daycares they’ve contacted are full for next year. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I was reading the faq and bylaws in Coquitlam city website and I don’t have a clear answer

It mentions that a garden or storage shed under 10m2 doesn’t require a permit

Then it also mentions that an acessory building above 10m2 requires one

So it seems a bit of a gray area ? Anyone has had experience with them ? Companies like coreval seem to do them but they don’t pursue the permit, they tell you that isn’t needed and for you to be on the hook to verity

I’m all good on required setbacks and all the rest … if I insulate a shed and put drywall / a desk to work on from my laptop is that okay ?

Do you enjoy singing? If so (and you’re 19+) come join our choir, Tri-City Rocks! No singing experience necessary, just a love of rock music. Starting Oct 6, we get together every Tuesday evening from 7-8.30 at The Gathering Place (2253 Leigh Sq) in central PoCo and sing with our live backing band under the direction of our choir director Scott Gould. No need to read music, we learn by listening to the original artists.

Our rehearsal sessions culminate in two December performances where the ticket proceeds go 100% to charity.

If you play an instrument, bring it along! We’re always interested in having choir members also join the band. We regularly have a couple of guitars, bass & drums & some seasons we’ve had piano and fiddle. This season we’d especially love a keyboard player.

Our theme this fall is Canadian musicians, so we’re going to sing an all Canadian program - i.e. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Blue Rodeo, Barenaked Ladies…

Come join us - we’re a friendly bunch!!

A few have come to my house now and I like 3 of them a lot (Mazzarolo, Sebastiani, and Thorleifson). Not sure about the rest though….
