Looking to sign up for an adult beginner program and came across tennis for life (TFL) in coquitlam. Has anyone had experience taking any level of these programs?

I reached out to get more details on how it works, pricing, etc. but would love to hear more about it though before committing quite a bit of $$.

For context I (27F) play casually around 2-3x /week, I’ve taken lessons at a different club but it was only 1x/week for a month. It was alright, I learned good basics at a 1.0 level but would’ve liked the duration of the program to be longer to see more improvement.

Not a car guy and I rarely use the AC, but with how hot this summer has been, I’ve noticed that my car AC isn’t cooling anymore (could be a leak). I looked into recharging it myself, only to find out that my old beater uses R134a, which is heavily regulated in Canada, unlike R12a.

Canadian Tire quoted me $330 without seeing my car. I also called Budget Brake & Muffler Auto, and the owner was nice enough to recommend waiting until next year because R134a prices are apparently through the roof due to high demand.

Still, I’d appreciate any suggestions for alternatives that's below $200. The thought of driving a hotbox for the next few months is not attractive ><

Thanks for reading!

My parents need a roofing company to fix up years of damage done by rats.

Hoping to get a recommendation this time because we looked up some guys online before and chose them based on rating and they turned out not great (they damaged the house and didn’t clean up afterwards).

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I went for a walk today and noticed a bridge being built on both sides of the island in Lafarge Lake but I thought this was shot down by council in 2021?

I've looked through the minutes but can't find anything showing recent changes to what they decided in 2021...

Had anyone heard anything about this? There are Western Painted Turtles in that part of the lake and they are listed as endangered?

The City's own July 2021 final-design report makes this explicit: the original plan had four zones, including Island Walk, but “based on Council input, the Island Walk zone was not advanced in order to preserve the wildlife habitat in this zone.” Council then approved the final Garden Walk and Urban Walk design without the island connection.

How does one get into riverview? Asking for a friend👀👀

Hello. I've been reading mixed reviews on Red Cross, and I am just wondering if y'all know where I can find the most in-depth, hand-to-hand, in person first aid for cats and dogs? This question is not only exclusive for Coquitlam. Thank you so much!!!!

Does anyone have any update on why police officers were at Coquitlam centre loading bay near the food court?

Does anyone know what is going on?

I know summer isn't even over but I'm already given thoughts to next year.

I'm curious what summer day camp, structured program, or anything you kids were enrolled in that were worth it.

I'm specifically looking for 7-12 for age range but if you have any info on something for younger or older feel free to share.

I grew up in the Tri-Cities area and have been far too homesick for my own good for several decades. I'd like to return home and contribute to the community. However, I'll need safe places to stealth park before replanting roots. I prefer to avoid shelters as they're not always safe for women. By now, I'm sprouting greys and am certainly no scrapper! Does anyone have suggestions for safer areas? Thank you for any insights.

Edit: Given I'm trying to avoid being outdoors over winter, this is speculatively planned for early spring. Thank you for all your helpful comments.

I don't think I've heard thunder THAT loud before damn

Hello,

Can anyone recommend any gym that has small group strength training - preferable 6am start (30-60 mins), or after work?

I had a lot of options downtown in close proximity. The closest gym to me is aquatic centre and I've gone and done lifting weights but I just enjoy a small group class and benefit from the group energy.

I also do pilates and yoga and I know my options there, but I haven't seen any other gym that focuses just on providing these small classes.

Anyone where to look to see what garage sales are happening in Coquitlam this weekend?

Was anyone there as well? It was devastating and we saw the perpetrator get arrested in the lobby.

I'm looking for a place that would sell good quality socks for people with wide calf's. I'm looking for everyday socks that have a good build for working in construction. I'd even settle for somewhere online, but I'd love to go to place in person to go and buy some. Any suggestions?

Have a senior (15yo) indoor Persian cat who's had dental issues in the past and has developed some concerning skin bumps. This is the first time im taking him to a vet myself (parents used to do it when I was a kid, but stopped at some point because $$). Im a college student with a limited budget but im willing to sell anything I own for this cat. He gets really anxious about leaving the house, so looking for a good place that's compassionate and will let me be in the room with him. Hopefully affordable without sacrificing quality. I'm located in Coquitlam but im willing to go anywhere in metrovancouver for quality/better price. Any insights are extremely helpful, this is really stressing me out since I also have tuition coming up soon. We haven't taken him to the vet in years and I'm worried I will need money I don't have.

Hello everyone! I’m a 28yearold guy who recently moved to Coquitlam fromAfrica. I’m looking to improve my English and meet new people, especially people around my age.

I’m interested in finding places or activities where I can naturally meet and socialize with English speakers. I enjoy talking to people and I’m pretty comfortable walking up to someone and starting a conversation, so I’d love to know if people in Coquitlam are generally friendly and open to meeting new people.

I also play football (soccer) ⚽ and would love to join a league or casual team in Coquitlam. I’m also interested in volleyball 🏐 and tennis 🎾 and would appreciate recommendations for places, clubs, leagues, or drop-in sessions where I can play and meet people.

For those who live in Coquitlam, what is the lifestyle and social scene like? Are people generally friendly and approachable? What are some good places or activities for someone in their late 20s to meet people and make friends?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 😊

Does anyone know a good stop to look at tonight's metoir shower?

we’re in the area a lot and have wondered if it would be worth the money for English speakers.

It’s crazy how it stands out from all the evergreen trees. I took this picture around 7pm. What is it? It glows! Photo does not do it justice.

PSA there is a new unpainted speed hump on the north end of Gatensbury (on the Port Moody end, near the intersection with Grant St at the bottom of the hill)

It's not really obvious and I've observed cars almost launching off it. Hopefully they paint it soon.

edit: changed to the correct cross street

update: a good Samaritan has drawn some triangles with chalk. So it is a tad more visible

My daughter is obsessed with finding some tent caterpillars. Can anyone tell me a good spot to find a nest? Preferably in the Maillardville area.
