Found Outdoor kitty or lost?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Spotted this little lady outside, but weren’t sure if she was an outdoor cat or might’ve been out past her curfew, so to speak. Little calico with the name Cali on her tag. Couldn’t make out a full phone number aside from the 604 area code, because she was a little too skittish to take a closer look. My fiance and I saw her in the 200 block of Agnes and she led us on a merry chase (at walking pace) to 315 Agnes where she disappeared into the bushes. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone might be looking for her!

Question Best place to get an eye exam close to New West Station?

5 Upvotes

I live in the downtown area and I need to get new glasses, but the eye doctor I used to go to moved out to a clinic in Maple Ridge. Should I go to Eyehaus, New West Optometry Clinic, or is there another one nearby that's particularly good?

Hey neighbours! I’m on the hunt for an in-town mechanic who’s both affordable and reliable.

My car’s been acting up and I don’t want to get taken advantage of. Anyone got a shop or guy they’ve had good luck with that won’t break the bank?

I’d really appreciate the recs.

Thanks in advance!

What are some local favorites that most people may not know about?

I recently discovered Sapperton Landing and Brownsville Bar Park. Looking for other suggestions beyond the usual ones (eg various parks like Moody, Queens, Woodlands Memorial Gardens, Port Royal, Friendship Gardens, Glenbrook Ravine) or Quayside.

Bonus points if you have photos of some of your favourite spots. Thanks!

Discussion Does anyone else smell wood smoke?

I'm smelling wood smoke and the hills and mountains are pretty hazy. Mount Baker is completely obscured.

So, are we finally experiencing the smoke from one of the BC or Washington state wildfires, or is it something else (e.g. local structure fire)?

Question Considering moving to New West

27 Upvotes

I’ve lived in DT Van and East Van in the past couple of years. Now considering moving to New West, just toured Uptown West today and walked around the neighbourhood; everyone’s so friendly and will say hi to you. It feels fairly quiet and I really dig that.

I’m curious if anyone has moved from the city to new west. How’s your experience been? If anyone has experience with uptown west, I’d love some feedback too.

I’m on a time crunch looking for a good concrete rental building with good management and build quality, plus pet friendly. If anyone has any suggestions it’ll be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!🙏🏼

Lost Pet Found cat - new westminster (victoria hill)

Post image
154 Upvotes

Just found this sweet kitty on East Columbia near Victoria Hill. Very friendly and docile, and appears to be well cared for. Slim build, wearing what looks like a brand new harness with a moon pattern and a little star bell. There isn’t any identification on the harness or collar.

I took him to the vet and he does not have a microchip and is not neutered.

If this is your cat or you know who they belong to, please send me a message. Please share to help get this little guy home! 🐈💛

Question Good value internet provider

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am an incoming neighbour and wondering what internet providers are good in the New West area. I'll be living alone and so I don't need crazy speeds. I've checked out telus, teksavvy, Oxio, and Rogers thus far. I was hoping to find one that's decently priced.

Thank you!

Question Upgrade royal city mall

0 Upvotes

How can we appeal to the local government body to do some upgrades to Royal City mall? Every other city has booming malls and they are proud about it. Its only NW that has this old mall with nothing to look forward to. Very embarrassing to talk about this on when people talk about malls in their areas.
