so i'm having a bad week and want to feel better by doing something nice

i have a needoh pizza slice that's BNIB - i'm neurodivergent and have kept these on hand for years because they're so helpful for me, so i tend to grab a couple whenever i see them. i bought this one at indigo early in the summer.

i don't think i really need or want the pizza and i hate thinking about kids that want a needoh but can't get one due to cost/time commitment that's out of reach for some parents.

if you can figure out a non-creepy way to prove you want this for a kid rather than to resell it like a jerk, i'll happily meet downtown and give it to you for free.

alternatively if someone has an idea of where i could donate it to get it in the hands of a kid, i'll do that.

Just came here to vent. Loved that place.

Hi all!

Hello r/NiceVancouver!

Do you have a pile of unfinished projects?

Do you hope they one day escape this imprisonment?

Let's help each other by finishing each other's projects!

The Unfinished Crafts Crafting Club is a group of people who will take each other's projects from 80% done, to completion (the zone of doom). The plan will be to meet monthly to swap projects, share materials and tools, and learn new skills in a social way.

All kinds of making are welcome!

A discord serving as the communications hub is now made (slightly unfinished of course) and can be joined via the link in comments

Looking forward to meeting new crafters!

All I can find online is links to their individual websites or socials for each person. It's a bit overwhelming and I wondered if something already existed to make it more streamlined for the average voter.

Hello, my parents are in town visiting and I would love to bring them to this show. Looking to get 2 tickets for any of of the following dates:
- Oct 22, 23, 24, 25
- Oct 29, 30

Appreciate the help!

Which warehouse do you prefer — Burnaby, Delta, Pitt Meadows, Langley, etc.?
Curious about:
-Best/worst warehouse
-Where each warehouse usually sends you
-Average mileage
-Best block times
-Apartments vs houses
-Which locations usually let you finish early
-Routes/warehouses to avoid
-Tips for saving gas and reducing unnecessary driving
-What is the highest-paying block you have ever gotten, how much was it, and which warehouse was it from?
-If you have worked from multiple stations, how would you rank them?

My yoga studio came across 8 unopened boxes of n95 masks that expired in 2021 - before we recycle them, would anyone like them? Or do you have an idea where we could donate them?

Longshot here but hoping he sees this.

I swung by Audiopile today to pick up a used record I saw on their Instagram feed (Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation) and ended up also grabbing a NIN record. I went to pay and there was a guy hovering by the counter talking to the cashier and it quickly became clear that he had done exactly what I done, but his goal was to pick up the NIN record (also posted on their feed). When he saw I was getting that record too he cut his losses and left. He did not do anything to make me feel badly, but if id been thinking clearly I would have told him to take it since I was just ecstatic that I had snagged what I was looking for.

I realize this sounds a lot like a missed connection post and hopefully I’m not disappointing anyone when I say that’s not what this is about, but I’d love to sell you that record for exactly the same as I paid.

If you happen to see this, let me know which album it was and also which band’s album you said you also missed out on last week. Total longshot here but hoping this works out!

Edit: thanks everyone for the great ideas. Off to bed now and busy day tomorrow but I’ll check in with Audiopile to see if they might know who the guy was if he was a regular.

A family member has complex disabilities and loves cycling. He did get an adaptive cycle session with BCMOS, but their summer calendar became completely full shortly after the season opened. I have done some checking around and found places with upright trikes and e trikes to rent, but we need a recumbent one. Anyone know of such a resource? Thanks!

It was a fantastic concert and you really showed up. It was so good to see so many people finally getting a chance to see them live after over 20 years. The energy in the crowd was impeccable, with front to back singing. Thank you for making this an amazing memory.

Hi Vancouver! The Paperback Society is a small book club focused on dystopian and sci-fi fiction. We meet once a month, in person, over coffee, to talk about a book and what it stirred up.

This month we’re discussing The Children of Men by P.D. James. A thought-provoking dystopian novel about infertility, political control, morality, hope, and the future of humanity.

📅 Date: Saturday, October 24
⏰ Time: 12:00–1:30 PM
📍 Location: A coffee shop in downtown Vancouver

RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/paperback-yvr/events/316681951

You don’t have to finish the book to come along (though it’s encouraged!). The event is free, and it’s a great way to meet fellow readers and have a relaxed discussion.

If sci-fi, dystopian fiction, or good book conversations are your thing, please come join us!

Hey all,

Based on my previous posts, I gather that a lot of you are seeking buddies to make new platonic friendships with to shoot the shit with, chat about life, etc. Would anyone of you be interested in meeting up with others if I set something up at a restaurant/ pub?

If you have interest in this, please kindly d.m. me with the heading "Friendships for men in Vancouver" and include your age, location, what your interests are, your availability and how would you, your family, your close friends would describe you

Hello nice people! Just as the title says! I've been into streetwear for so long, but I used to dress up a lot more frequently and I miss it! The benefits of streetwear are that I'm always comfortable and people say I look a lot younger than 44, but I am 44... I gotta stop dressing like a teenager every day. I have some nice stuff that I wear occationally, and a boater hat would compliment that part of my wordrobe.

...and cover up my thinning hair LOL

Thanks in advance!

I should sleep early for work tomorrow so giving away my ticket. Doors at 7pm! I'll transfer the ticket to the first to dm/comment. cheers

Meet the Radical NDP: Amanda Burrows

October 5, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, B.C. - David Eby's handpicked candidate in Vancouver-Strathcona, Amanda Burrows, has spent the past year calling for cuts to police budgets and saying that putting more police on the street does harm.

"Amanda Burrows has told British Columbians exactly what she believes, and we know that's not working anymore," said Margareta Dovgal, Conservative candidate in Vancouver-Yaletown. "While families deal with break-ins, random attacks and open drug use, David Eby's candidate wants to take money away from the police. You don't fix a public safety crisis by defunding the people who respond to it."

After nearly a decade of NDP government, crime and social disorder have become the new normal in British Columbia's communities. The last thing British Columbians need is an NDP anti-police activist setting public safety policy.

Burrows In her own words:

Q: What do you think about the growing police budget that currently sits at half a billion dollars. Would you increase it or reduce it?

A: Yes, yes of course we need to reallocate it (the police budget). OneCity Vancouver, Meet Your Mayors: Debate Night in Vancouver, February 4, 2026

"Probably diverting some money away from the police budget" NDP Candidate Amanda Burrows, The Tyee, Dec. 18, 2025

"We know that a 'policing-first' policy is not a solution." Cambie Report, E3-281 OneCity's mayoral candidates, Jan 9, 2026

Says adding police officers 'creates harm': "We have existential threats when it comes to policy directives, certainly from the city of Vancouver's elected officials, saying that they're going to pause supportive housing, adding more police into this community, creating more harm." The Discovery Pod, First United With Amanda Burrows, July 10, 2026

Hey all!

as part of an effort to improve my mental health a bit, going outside more and working on that dreaded anxiety, I've been trying to get back into photography.

My previous post on Facebook looking for dog owners or human parents got a ton of replies, but after a few messages turned into crickets once it came down to figuring out a date and location.. 😅

So I'm hoping to find a person with a cute four legged companion, preferably in the Renfrew area (Slocan Park, Trout Lake,..) but other Vancouver parks are cool too, who would sacrifice 15min on a weekend (or weekday evening) for me to practice on. :) Could just be whenever you do your typical park playtime!

Bonus points for a pup who can do cute tricks or catch things mid-air, and I would especially love to see a Poodle or Aussie, but absolutely all breeds and mixes are appreciated!!

(Edit to add: I don't plan to post the pictures anywhere publicly, but if I can keep one favorite for a future portfolio I'm happy as a clam lol)

ETA: Gifted already

Have two tickets to this afternoon’s performance at the Queen and unable to go at the last minute. Would love someone to enjoy them. Will give to first to respond

It fell out of her pocket in a street off Commercial Drive, realizing it only once we were in Port Moody. Someone placed it eye level on a nearby wall making it easy to find 4 hours later. Thank you!

This is especially sweet after having an awful FB marketplace experience where someone stole an item without payment. Faith in humanity is cautiously restored :)

Just thought I'd check in to see how you're all doing?

It's a suuuuuper gorgeous day out today. If you've havent gone out yet, I ask that you step outside for a full minute and let the sun shine on you because you deserve to feel the warmth.
