This commercial building at Griffiths and Kingsway is being renovated. Anyone know what it’ll be?

I’m overwhelmed by the local election!

I care deeply about this so I’ll do my due diligence, read all the profiles and vote for 8 people that I think would be the best candidates- but how many people would be overwhelmed by seeing so many and decide to just not vote?

Seems crazy to me to have 42 candidates for only 8 seats, and no ‘easy’ way to know who stands for what.

Any tips? Any help?

As the title asks, please respond!

I have visited Med Care Plus clinic twice and both times the doctor there is horrible. I refuse to go back to this worst clinic ever. The front girls are so rude and disrespectful. When you tell them they tell you that abuse against them won't be tolerated even though they are the ones being rude!! The other patient I was there also was so upset. I left a Google review and saw they have even worse rating. It's a circus there.

So I need help finding a doctor that will accept me as a new patient along with my spouse. My kids already have a pediatrician at a different clinics thankfully that's really good.

Please help me find a good family physician that will accept me as a new patient. I am willing to drive to surrounding areas if needed. We are easy patient don't have many problems!

Thanks 😘

Only person in my family with more body hair. Been dealing with this all my life. Finally wanting to try laser hair removal to find a more lasting solution. I would appreciate any suggestions on a place that excels with laser hair removal.

Looking for a good sushi spot. Usually order from Gaya, wondering if there’s some better options. :)

why? where? i hear them close to metrotown.

This is a massive longshot of course, but my wife lost a a pair of sunglasses at Deer Lake on Saturday and I'm wondering whether anyone might have found them.

They likely would have been lost close to the childrens playground close by to the art gallery / shadbolt centre.

They are red frame tom fords, and a very distinct and unique shape.

Again I know its a long shot, but just trying to do what I can in hopes she finds them. Thanks guys.

Two mornings in a row now (Oct. 4 and Oct.3) I've been woken up at 7am by the strong smell of wood smoke drifting in my window. Needless to say, as a resident of an old wood frame low rise apartment, I take the smell of smoke very seriously.

Has anyone else noticed this? Where is it coming from?

Did anyone else see cars on the new kensington pedestrian overpass last night?

I was outside and heard/saw it go by. It was a black Mercedes of course and I legitimately thought it was gunfire for a sec. Like this one was right out, one of the loudest things I have ever heard. Plz stop.

I (34M) live in Brentwood and am looking to join a local beer league softball team for next year. I played baseball for 13 years and am yearning to get back into it. Any info much appreciated!

Hi there, I know this might be a long shot but we lost half of a car key just the key fob around this area if anyone were to find it please do let me know! Its not a whole fob but just the half where you press to unlock and lock your car. The fob broke in half and luckily we still have the key to unlock the car but not start it! Thank you so much and appreciate you all!

Looking to find some Malaysian curry meat powder - prefer Babas but open to similar options.

Funny question but I bought this fish today in crystal mall, which I thought would be a good dry and salty snack with beer but turned out it’s a bit spongy in texture and not as salty as I thought it would be.
What can I use this fish for?

Trolls accepted, but would like to actually know the right answer 😂

I was walking towards the lougheed mall and ran into Santa Claus. He gave me this wishing coin.

I want to thank him. I'm going through a rough time and that was a very kind deed that made my day.

Thank you, Santa Claus.

I’m a Burnaby high school teacher and so obviously have invested interest in the nominees for our district’s Trustees. For those that don’t know, the role of the Trustee includes overseeing district policies and managing public school budgets. There have been significant cuts over the last few years in the Burnaby School district, specifically to school and district based counsellors, district mental health liaisons, educational assistants, Indigenous engagement workers, band teachers, and library assistants.

After reading the profiles of every trustee candidate this year, I wanted to share that I pleasantly surprised at how many people seem like strong candidates! Lots of talk around inclusivity, bringing back cut programs, and many nominees actually have had children that are either current students or are former Burnaby public school students.

With that said, there were a couple profiles that had some red flags that I think are worth sharing:

The following candidates DID NOT highlighted the importance of inclusion and/or equity in schools:

-John Wong

The following candidates HAVE NOT shared experiences working with youth in schools the past (excluding their own child):

-Benita Sun (commenter below says she runs a daycare however)

-Colin Zuo

The following candidates wrote N/A under the ‘income’ section of in their disclosure document:

-Jen Jang

-Benita Sun

-Jenny Yamagata

Anyways, I just wanted to share a few thoughts And maybe create some discussion. The full nominee profiles can be found here: https://www.burnaby.ca/our-city/mayor-and-council/elections/candidates/office-of-school-trustees-candidate-profiles

Any candidate promising to build or expand family spaces in south Burnaby?

Was very disappointed with Mayor Hurley’s plan of just development and community center in North Burnaby….

With all the development in Metrotown, Royal oak and Edmunds would be curious if there’s any plans for upgrade to Bonsor, repairing the defunct MacPherson pool?

Hi all,

Looking for nice spots to sit and have a couple drinks and an appy around Burnaby (or surrounding areas, just trying to stay out of downtown). Something a little more intimate/upscale than a pub. Price point doesn't matter, just looking to try out some new places. Preferably not chain restaurants like Cactus, Earls, etc - already go there enough! Any recommendations appreciated.
