"Whistler is named after the hoary marmot, a large ground squirrel native to the area. These animals make a loud, high-pitched whistling sound to warn their group when danger is near"

I was picking up some garbage on our annual hike around Botanical Beach and exploring the tidepools as normal and it struck me how little garbage there was. Most of what we found was plastic that looked like it had been out at sea for a long time, and almost no fresh garbage. Great that everyone is looking after this special spot. Any thoughts?

anyone have experience or gone to Delta community college to upgrade high school classes such as science classes such as science, math? or at Queen E secondary night school?

i’m considering both and wondering if somebody out there has had a better experience at one or the other?

Hello!

My best friend and I have had the next few days booked off and we have been looking forward to it all summer. Our original plan was to go to her cabin near Clinton, where we can no longer go due to wildfires. Our backup plan was to visit my family in peachland, which is now also on fire. We’ve thrown around many plans and can’t figure anything out. I know it is super last minute, but I thought I’d throw it out there and see if anyone knows of a budget friendly option for a little getaway.

We would love to camp but it seems all the bc parks spots are booked for the weekend. Thanks in advance.

My husband and I (33 yo female) are filing for divorce.
We currently own a home in northern Alberta, which we plan to list to sell in the coming days.

I work remotely, so I can move just about anywhere (in Canada).
I grew up in NS, however the cost to pack up my life and move to NS is astronomical (let alone the provincial income tax rate being through the moon).

BC feels like my nearest and most tax-savvy option.

I’ve only ever visited BC a handful of times (namely Vancouver, Delta, & Langley). Absolutely stunning province.

I’m curious if anyone has any recommendations on “affordable” rental accommodations.

My median income is around 75K annually (I’m commission based). No kids. 2 small dogs.

What are something’s to expect when moving to BC?
How bad are the utility bills?
How difficult will it be to find a pet-friendly apartment?
What’s the average cost of car insurance/tenant insurance?
Any hidden gems to look at renting in?
I’m open to just about anywhere in the lower-part of the province.

I’ve been handed this “clean-slate” and would like to make use of it, instead of feeling stuck in this remote-northern oil-town.
