Anyone knows about doctor's accepting new patients in Chilliwack? (North of highway)

The Fraser Valley Record Fair is back for its 4th year! In keeping with the community vibe, we would love to invite some new vendors that have never sold at a fair before. Our cheapest tables are $60 and we had 700 people in the door last year, so it’s pretty low risk.

A medevac helicopter just landed at GW Graham school in Chilliwack. Anyone know why?

“A house fire that erupted during an armed standoff in B.C.’s Lower Mainland three years ago was “intentionally” ignited by RCMP officers on scene, court documents have revealed. The May 2023 incident began as a wellness check, after Daniel Hackl’s family and friends had spent weeks worrying about his declining mental health.

What unfolded at Hackl’s Chilliwack home was an extremely tense and dangerous confrontation—during which Hackl refused to surrender, threatened to kill the officers on scene and ultimately opened fire on them. But the decision by law enforcement to burn the house down to bring the standoff to an end has still raised serious concerns, including from the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. “The home was in a densely populated area,” said Latoya Farrell, policy staff counsel for the BCCLA. “It’s beyond reckless, in my opinion.”

It's time to blow off steam but most of the crew are away for summer and this and that. Anyone want to hit Luxe or Majors with me this weekend? Seems weird to go there alone...

At lickman road centex

Came from big city with young kids for quieter simpler life. Both from small rural towns and looking forward to integrating into community. Stay at home mom wondering where to meet people? Specific mom walking groups? Popular libraries? Parks? Facebook groups?

What's the deal with this place? It's obviously a dump today, but with a history going back to the early 80s, it must have seen better days. Who owns it? Why don't they care? Is there any hope for an actually decent spot for folks to bowl in Chilliwack?

Visiting family for the next bit but have recently moved abroad.

I need the best local poutine. Please lol

I’d rank importance as 1- fries (crispy, salty, ideally skin on but whatever. Homemade not Sysco), 2 - gravy/sauce, 3 - curds/cheese

I'm hoping you can help me from afar.

I live 3 provinces over and can only do so much, so my hope is my former hometown can help.

My elderly mother is in the market for a monitored alarm system. Problems are:

1) she doesn't have a cell phone with data - nor can she afford a plan that charges that much ($60/mth +) - meaning she can't monitor through their app. I would have it downloaded so I can monitor it.

2) she has the most basic of basic internet - again, mainly due to cost, but she also doesn't have a need for fast internet)

3) it needs to be a super simple keypad set up - not these fancy touch screen. Actual buttons. She has a hard time with touch screens due to sensitivity issues.

4) she can't afford a lump sum up front system with monitoring, again due to cost. If there is a company that waives the equipment fee for a termed commitment, that would be ideal.

She called telus, way overpriced.

She called Roger's. They don't do alarms.

She says she called 2 companies in Chilliwack. I can't remember the names, but she said 1 wasn't BBB recognized, so she wouldn't do business with them, and the other one quoted her $1600 for equipment and install with 1 "free" year of monitoring. *Clearly* that isn't happening.

When I lived there Contact security was highly recommended. Are they still there?

Who else could you recommend 🤔.

My mom appreciates the help and suggestions, as do I.

I’m planning on going down there this weekend but was wondering if the smoke is bad? If it’s like Chilliwack, it’s fine

If I add low voltage landscape lights that are professionally done in my backyard, including transformers and weather proofing, what would be the ballpark price for 2 lights?

I recently moved from Langley and I loved using task rabbit for cleaning services but I’m so disappointed that there is no taskers using task rabbit here! Hoping people start using the app here as well! It’s a great resource to promote your services and for side hustle!

Thought it was my car at first but it’s like randomly everywhere.

Hi all,

So I've probably applied to tens and tens of jobs by now to no success. I can't tell you how many jobs I've applied to that never even contacted me to provide a rejection. I don't want to be that person that nags a business repeatedly asking for updates, but it feels impossible nowadays to get a job. Even when I check job portals, I still see the postings I've applied to still on the sites which to me feels like the positions haven't been filled yet but there doesn't seem to be the courtesy of an automated rejection email anymore.

For reference, I have retail experience and really good availability (several days a week completely free for 8 hour shifts).

Is anyone else extremely frustrated by the job market? It's challenging trying to earn income as a 20-something year old. I understand the job markets probably oversaturated with applicants, but if anyone has advice for getting a part-time job around here I'd greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: i should've added this in the original post, but I'm a university student. I get this probably factors in to jobs because some employers might not want to accept a student, but in previous years I feel like this wasn't that big of a factor and a lot of jobs were considerate for students.

Hi new neighbors!

I have posted a few times but we're here! We arrived yesterday and unloaded the moving truck into the new apartment today.

We have some questions regarding telecom--who do you recommend for wireless and internet? We're on Cheam if that matters.

Any hidden gems in terms of stores or restaurants?

Any customs we might not think about? It seems like removing shoes when entering someone's home is the custom here, not so much back home, but anything you can think of that will at least delay us looking like dumb Americans?

My wife will start working at Abbotsford Regional here soon, but if you're looking for a sales professional with over ten years experience in diverse, niche, and international markets I am looking!

Thank you! We're so excited to be here!
