I bought what I thought was a refurbished phone from them but it wasn't refurbished or even wiped properly- the previous owners info was still on the phone and I could have logged into their accounts.

The whole thing was super shady and he forced me to pay cash. After I came back from the bank machine, he changed the price and said that I could pay the remainder by CC. I needed a phone asap so wasn't in a position to argue about using cash but did manage to not pay the "new price."

It's been a few weeks and the phone has a ton of issues and needs a new Bluetooth antenna.

I don't know what to do now- demand my money back or take a loss. Just wondering if other people have had issues there and if it is worth involving the RCMP.

I thought that I was buying a refurbished phone but now I don't know where it came from and am worried that it was stolen.

We got into an accident on highway 19 right before the overpass over the Tsolum River. Two lovely people, Tom and Dianne, helped us out & cleaned me up while we waited for emergency services. They were on their way to visit their son who lives in CR. This is a long shot, but would so appreciate if anyone knows them so we could thank them again :)

I'll delete this post once they remove the ai images from the site

DOUBLE EDIT: Very sorry for all the replies. I was just trying to do the right thing and didn't realise it was bad form to reply to everyone. I'll clean it up

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

This was the email I received:

They're still using the images on the website, didn't actually say they we're going to do anything, and didn't recognise that the images are fully generated

I’ll be in Campbell river Sunday Sept 6-7. hoping to find a drop in yoga class somewhere open on the long weekend. Also a good kid friendly cafe. Any suggestions?

I'm moving to Campbell River and am looking to rent. What are some of the best areas to rent as woman in her late 20's? Much Thanks!

I really want to get into mushroom picking for a Sunday activity.
I have 0 clue where to go. I know everyone has secret spots and can’t share; but would anyone want to give some advice to a newbie?

Centennial Pool reopened after a break-in 2nd time.

Aug 22, 2026, but it's closed due to weather

We're going to the circus tonight but have never been (born and raised in this town - there's a first for everything). What's the temperature like in the tent? Is it loud/will the toddler need ear plugs? Are there food options or is it just what's available at Quinsam Crossing? I don't know what to expect at all except it's cash only on-site.

What are some good-to-knows from those who have been there or have heard about it?

Looking to move from Alberta, currently working in finance/accounting so would have to find a remote job if I moved.

Looking for a change and to start fresh, what is life like there. Will I be bored? Is this a sleepy town?

Debating a move to CR. Would love to hear the thoughts and opinions of living here.

Is the crime really as bad as the media suggests?

What are some things that you wish you knew before moving out there or that newcomers should be aware of?

As the title suggests, looking to learn more about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks in advance you beautiful Campbell Riverians

Has anyone here upgrade to a 200amp panel and added a heatpump in the recent past? If so can you give rough costs, and have any recommendations of contractors?

We want to add a 40amp NEMA 14-40 for an EV as well. It's currently an 125amp underground line if that's a comparable for your experience.

Searching google give me estimates from 15-45k which is too broad to trust.

Do you know of any bar or watch parties for the Tragically Hip National Celebration this Saturday?

Would love any insight community members have? Surely either an ECE shortage or high ECE turnover must be one of the factors for why our community is struggling with enough daycare spaces?

I'm heading to Campbell River for a few days to attend a funeral.

I haven't been there for 10 years and was wondering if there's anywhere in town or nearby where I can buy pipe tobacco.

All I can find is pot shops, which isn't really what I'm looking for.

Any help welcomed.

Thank you

hello, i’m 22, i’ve lived here all my life & i’m trying to meet new people. i’ve been struggling to make new friends for a little while, it’s a bit hard to find people my age here in general & i’m an anxious person so it’s a been a bit difficult.
some of my interests: i just recently started going to the badminton at the sportsplex on tuesday nights. reading, mostly nonfiction but i should start reading fiction too. i go for walks occasionally, i like hiking too but i haven’t done much recently. i play video games but i’m kinda starting to get sick of them.
if somebody wants to get a coffee or a beer or something that would be cool.

Rabies remains uncommon in B.C., and public health experts closely monitor trends across the province. Finding a single rabies-positive bat does not indicate an unusual event, as bats are a natural part of our local ecosystem and a small number may carry rabies.

There are currently no known rabies cases in humans in BC. The last human case of rabies in BC was in 2019.

The best protection is prevention:
✅ Do not handle bats.
✅ Keep pets' rabies vaccinations up to date.
✅ Seek medical advice if you think a person may have had contact with a bat.

For more information, visit the BC Centre for Disease Control website https://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/rabies.

If you have come into DIRECT CONTACT with a bat please contact your health care provider or Island Health’s North Island Communicable Disease Hub at 250-331-8555

Fuck you. Are you trying to burn the whole goddamn island down?

My husband noticed the fire was still burning and put it out, like a responsible citizen.

You are the reason we can't have nice things.

There is a petition at Pedal Your World and Swicked to save the ERT from development.
