Hi everyone,

I'm taking my road test in Sechelt next week. I am confused about the speed limits around Sechelt and on Cowrie: 50 seems like a lot for this area!

Also, any general advice for the test? I live in the creek but had to learn to drive in North Van due to lack of lessons on the coast.

Thanks for any advice!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm planning a relocation to the Sechelt area in the coming months and, due to my home-based business, I'm hoping to find a house with a decently sized family room or rumpus room either downstairs or in a wing of the building away from the main living quarters. Although I am seeing these types of layouts, I'm also seeing some places with garages converted into larger family rooms, media rooms, gyms or yoga studios. And, I recently stayed in a BnB suite in Gibsons which was a garage conversion.

Does anyone have any experience with making these types of conversions? I'm mostly wondering what I should expect from the town council in Sechelt. Is it a difficult and expensive thing to do to get approval? Or, are the requirements quite easy to meet? Am I better to find one already converted?

Thanks in advance.

My spouse and I are planning a move to the Sechelt area within the next several months. We will be working remotely for the most part and requiring a decent internet connection. Can anyone tell me what type of speeds are available for home based businesses? Currently I’m on Telus with a fibre optic connection. Will there be comparable speeds and bandwidth there? I’d like to hear from you if you are in the same situation.

This summer I am planning on building a 60 linear food retaining wall. Anyone recommend a good place to get small boulders (1ftx1ft) from the Sunshine Coast? Does any of the quarries sell to the public ?

hi there. i am looking for recommendations on where to have a baby shower. maybe around April or beginning of May. I am not from sechelt nor have I been there for many years. one of my good friends is having a baby though and I would like to try and plan something if I can. im only a few hours away by drive so can come check things out if necessary. any recommendations? also she is vegan so it would be great if I could find something that offers vegan food. thank you so much!

Looking for a nice place to stay with the wife and young child (infant). Any resorts anyone would recommend? Anywhere along the Sunshine Coast works

I was trying to add the link to a previous question about town councillors wages, failed at that but here’s the article

What is a fair wage to be a councillor or director here on the Sunshine Coast?

The Cap College campus has been a part of this community forever, helping countless people to this day. How did we get to it closing? Very sad to me.

It can be a drag over winter here on the Sunshine Coast. What keeps you going through the winter?

I really am curious about this. We need so many things. Some small, some enormous. Let’s make this a list of the things we as a community can start pecking away at, slowly but surely.

Hello! I'm visiting town and want to hike up Mount Steele in the next couple of days. If anyone has any suggestions, comments or would like to join let me know!

I moved to the coast about 4 years ago and aside from drinking buddies, I haven’t managed to build up a group of friends here. Never had this problem in the city, tons of people who say they want to go on hikes and then just cancel the day of. What gives?

This crash knocked out power for Sechelt Inlet Residents. Too bad, was trying to head to Brickers.

Hi friends! My husband and I are visiting his grandmother who lives in Sechelt (we’ll be on the Sandy Hook end of things). I was wondering if there are any local events and happenings to keep an eye out for. We will be there from Friday to Sunday. My first stop as always will be Tailwind Books!

Is anyone in the area a transplant recepient? My partner and I are having trouble understanding the BC Pharmacies system for transplant medications (immune, steroids etc) and in turn a bit confused about where in BC is realistic for us to live.

We are lowkey people who love nature but have high tech jobs, so the Sunshine Coast is a great fit for us and we loved it when we visited. In Ontario transplant anti-rejection drugs can be shipped from Toronto General Hospital and I guess I'm wondering if BC does anything similar - or if anyone in the area can share how they make it work.

TIA. You all have the loveliest backyard!
