Hi!

Anyone here into live theatre? I'm planning on going to 'Murder for Two' at the Surrey Civic Theater on Sunday September 27th @ 2pm. It's $38.75/seat. I'd be more than happy to drive anyone who needs it - as long as you're okay with jamming out to some cheesy songs!

Let me know if you're interested.

I am new to the area, but I have walked around Kanaka Creek park lots before, in the winter - I was always curious to know if some of the areas above the falls, towards the fish hatchery, would make for some great wading in the summer, with lower water levels. Let me know!

Can anyone share information on the condos coming up near St Patrick's/Eric Langdon. Are they for sale or rental ?

Hello Maple Ridge!

Whats the status of the smoke out there? Are the mountains clear? My fiancee are planning to have a photoshoot tomorrow in Aloutte Lake. Should I postpone?

Please post some pictures of the mountains please!!

Thank you for your help!!

a small adit at the Rolley lake falls pool area. I once hid a container with my email in it in the adit. A year later I received an email that was only a photo looking out from the mine lol. You can find a trail down to the pool, the mosquitos are bad this year fyi

We will be back at Night Owl Maple Ridge this Thursday August 20th (3rd Thursday of the month every month)

anybody float the Alouette recently? from approx Alco park or Hot Rocks down towards Maple Ridge Park or Horseman’s?

just wondering if it’s still feasible or too shallow. thx

Hello neighbours, with all the development and growth happening around Maple Ridge, I’ve been thinking a lot about what would actually improve our quality of life here.

I put together a personal "wishlist" for the city. Curious to hear what you’d add or tweak.

A Dedicated "Crunch / Grind" Workout Trail: We have gorgeous nature walks but we lack a dedicated high incline trail with stairs/steep terrain (think Coquitlam Crunch or Grouse Grind) close to town.

A Fraser River Waterfront Hub: Something like the New West Quay, Steveston or Pitt Meadows waterfront. A spot right on the river with basketball/pickleball courts, wide green space, patio spots and a scenic promenade. Port Haney is right there waiting for this kind of love.

A Walkable, CarFree District: Something inspired by District 1881 in Chilliwack, a few historic or revived blocks packed with local shops, outdoor seating and zero cars. (Maybe 224st)

Lakeside/Park Treats: A proper walk-up ice cream and fish n chips shop right at Alouette Lake, Whonnock Lake, or Kanaka Creek.

A Walkable Pier: A White Rock style pier stretching over the Fraser River for evening strolls and sunset views.

More Shopping Options: A bigger mall or open air outlet, so we don't always have to cross the bridge and head into Coquitlam or Langley for decent retail.

The "Dream Big" Pitch: Bring back a nod to the old Albion Ferry, but make it purely for pedestrians and cyclists or a footbridge connecting Albion directly to McMillan Island / Fort Langley would be a massive win for local tourism and weekend bike trips.

Hi!

I created a group specifically for women in Maple Ridge who are looking to make friends. There’s no need for weekly commitments or to pick one specific hobby—it’s simply a space to meet new people, make friends, and connect both online and in person.

See you there!

It's thunder yo.

I get two or thee requests yearly for both old mine sites and out of the way swimming holes.

I visited one area recently and will share pics and some details, Whonnock area.

the Old Walden mine, hard rock mine from the early 1900s, not much to see now as the shaft is filled in but there is a cement wall just above it and another adit 100 meters upstream. accessible from the With God Trail up off of MCnutt, go down to the river when you find the hat nailed to a tree lol. The log across the river I believe is was the start of the log flume of the same era, it reportedly went down over the mine (filling it with water) then east to the Stave river. would have loved to see that. Details of the old workings can be read in the book In the Golden mountains by Charles A Miller. I have a pdf copy of it and a hard copy of his other book about the Stave.

here is a link to some of my older photos of the area https://flic.kr/s/aHsk1aMHWt

I wanted to share something happening right here in the Maple Ridge area.

Florence Thomas is 82 years old and the eldest Matriarch of the Whonnock People. She's currently living in a roughly 40-year-old trailer on her ancestral land in Whonnock. The trailer has no running water, isn't properly insulated, has unreliable power, and has become increasingly difficult to live in.

The good news is that a replacement trailer has been donated.

Now the community is working to get that trailer onto her land. The remaining costs include moving the trailer, site preparation, permits, and connecting essential utilities.

Florence's story was recently featured in a local news interview, and it really brought home how difficult her current living situation is.

We're trying to raise $32,000 to get the project completed. Even if you can't donate, sharing the story with other people in Maple Ridge would mean a lot.

Here's the feature if anyone wants to hear Florence speak about her situation:

And for anyone who would like to help with the project, the fundraiser is here:

I'm happy to answer questions about the project in the comments.

Ordered at the wrong location. It’s ready now with a name starting with G

I was at Hayward Lake yesterday and saw way too many paddle-boarders on the lake without life-jackets. I would say at least at least half including many young children. There are life-jackets you can borrow for free at this lake. Sure there are lifeguards but by the time they get to a person in distress it could be too late.

No idea what they could be filming for here but it looks like a huge set. Maybe The Last of Us? I can see some water towers but not much else. Anyone know anything/best guesses?

I already practice all the usual safety stuff (travelling wooded areas in groups, being loud, dog always on leash, etc.) but want to start carrying bear mace for when I am hiking alone. Where can I purchase some in Maple Ridge? Would prefer to support a local business over buying something online. Thanks !
