Real estate agents running for/sitting on council

Does anyone else see this as a bit of a conflict of interest? People that can approve or deny zoning approvals all while running a business that can benefit from those decisions. We saw what happened with John Les during his tenure as mayor and his shady land deals.

Best restaurants?

5 Upvotes

Hey folks, I have a friend moving to Chilliwack and I thought it would be nice to get them a gift card for dinner on me(we’re both foodies). I’m not from the area and wondering what the best place to eat is? Preferably something a bit upper scale and not a chain.

Municipal elections are coming up

11 Upvotes

As just a reminder, municipal elections are in October and if you're thinking of running, the nomination period is between September 1 and 11 and you will need two people to fill out nomination paperwork.

. . . This isn't being talked about a lot for some reason.

Comedy shows in the city

7 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I’m with an improv troupe based in Vancouver and we were thinking about coming to Chilliwack to do an October show (an improvised murder mystery).

I haven’t spent a ton of time in Chilliwack personally but wanted to gauge if that kind of a show would be something the city would be receptive to and come out for? We’re a relatively small troupe and still growing so we’d want to make sure there’s a reasonable bet on an idea before attempting it! Haha

Cheers

Romantasy book club

15 Upvotes

Any romantasy girls looking for book friends? 👀
We have a pretty established book club and are looking for some new faces! We’re mostly fantasy/romantasy readers so there’s a lot talk about morally questionable book boyfriends, spice, and yelling at each other about book recs. We do read other stuff too and all book girlies are more than welcome to join.

We meet up in person sometimes, do a monthly book and a corresponding online Q&A with that author. Which is honestly so much fun.

Really just looking for girls who want to actually make friends and have people to talk books with 🫶

Our ages vary from 20-55 but there’s no age limit as long as you’re 18 or older.

Family Doctors

2 Upvotes

Hello!
I am new to the area and in need of a family doctor. I have a rare disease and have found replacements for my specialists but not one for a central family doctor to manage my case.

BCHealth told me to call their “complex care” team but they said they are full. A couple of my prescriptions are controlled so it’s hard to find walk-in clinics or the like who can help with that.

I have family here but none of them have any leads on clinics accepting patients. I know it’s a long shot but I’m hoping someone here may have one!

FCM community Cat trappers

7 Upvotes

Hi, is this organization legit? I’m sure it is, I just applied for a vaccine/spay package and got an email back saying that all I need to do is etransfer a fee and all the appointments will get taken care of from there. I’m being a little cautious about it just since that’s a pretty common scam style.

I tried finding a phone number but all I found on the website was an email, Facebook and Instagram account. Again I can see that these pages have followers i’m just being extra careful and would love some advice or assurance! Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all your answers!

Outdoor Movie

6 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm looking for any recommendations on where would be a good place to watch a movie outdoors with a projector and screen. Ideally it would be quite location that I could stay until 11pm without any issues. It doesn't necessarily need to be in chilliwack, maybe 45 minutes to an hour away. I'm new to the area and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Could anyone help me create a vinyl stencil sticker (like with a Cricut machine)?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for someone to create a 5" vinyl stencil with a sticky back. Does anyone in town have a machine that they could help me accomplish this?

Very simple text based design. Round edges, no sharp corners.

Thanks!

The scam calls are at it again.

43 Upvotes

I, a born in Canada, part indigenous person with a status card, just received a call from "Immigration Canada", who told me to press 2 for Chinese which... You know. Isn't our traditional government number 2 on the alternative language list which is pretty obvious after recent events.

Anyway. Just a heads up to let people in your family know this scam is going around again. I pressed "record call" so I can file a complaint about the number with the carrier and the moment my phone played the mandatory "This call is being recorded" before recording, it disconnected soooo that's apparently a thing you can teach your parents and grandparents to determine if a call is a scam or not.

Events for artists and singers

Hey yall! I'm just wondering if any of you know if there's any events to share art or events looking for vocalists? I have a background in musical theater and art but I'm not particularly looking to get into any productions.

(No, unfortunately I can't play an instrument. But technically vocal chords *are* strings so...)

I live with my family in Chilliwack, and want to move out with my dog but 90% of rental unit have no pet policy. For a city that's known as a "good place to live with a dog", most units sure are anti-pet.

Window Company Recommendations - Chilliwack

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re looking to replace the windows in our 1939 house and would really like to preserve its original character. Ideally, we’re hoping to find a company that can maintain a similar frame/style and keep the historical look of the house.

We’ve received one quote so far from Unger Window & Door, but we’d love to hear about other companies you’ve had good experiences with, especially for older or heritage-style homes.

Thanks!

I have lived here for 72 years in may. I had no idea this provincial park was here. I found this on google earth.

I see this park has a farm in the middle of it, on an island. Does anyone know if the entire island is part of the park? the listing on bc parks is very brief. Even the parking lot if you can call it that, requires you to cross the CN line to access the park.
