Hi everyone,

I have my L license in BC and I have my own car, but since I don’t have a full Class 5 license yet, I need someone with a valid Class 5 (25+) to sit with me while I drive.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who lives in Richmond and works in Vancouver (around V5Z 1N1) we could commute together in the mornings to Vancouver and return to Richmond in the afternoons. I’m happy to offer free rides as part of this arrangement.

I’m responsible and careful, and committed to safe driving.

If you’re interested, please message me.

Thank you! Sara

Damaged my car and having trouble getting any auto body to even pick up my phone. It won’t be going through icbc. I suspect maybe $2000 or less in damage. Anyone know a good (but inexpensive) shop?

As I was arriving at Brighouse on the SkyTrain, I saw something really upsetting, a goose appeared to be dead, and its partner was trying to wake it up 😢.

I ended up taking the train back the other direction just to make sure I hadn’t imagined it, but sadly the other goose was still there and hadn’t moved.

I tried calling the SPCA and the City of Richmond’s after hours line, but couldn’t reach anyone. Does anyone know who else I should contact?

Hi guys. Are there any places in Richmond that have small meeting rooms with a tv monitor where a small group of people can meet up and work on something?

Maybe like a library or community center?

I know schools have these rooms but I'm not a student anymore.

Is there a place in richmond that provides battery replacement service for stainless steel watches? Need mine replace and used to go to The Bay but now its gone. TIA!

For those who’ve visited Unique Bakery’s current location, are their wares worth the dough? 😉

A specific ask - my 4 year old hates getting his haircut. We’ve brought him to the kids places and he is absolutely traumatized. He’s requested to have his hair cut at home, and absolutely no buzzer, or any water spray.

I can’t cut hair, and I want him to have a nice haircut.

The only home service for haircuts I found is in Delta, and he’s not willing to come to Richmond.

I’ve negotiated with him to go to a quiet, calm hair salon, and absolutely no razer, just scissors. And no wetting his hair, but if the hair needs to be wet we can shower beforehand so that he goes in with clean wet hair.

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with a salon that is relatively quiet and calm, and can accommodate for my kid’s preferences?

No budget, just desperately trying to avoid trauma every 3-6 months…

Looking to buy some soil for a newly built tomato box planter. It’s about 6 ft x 4 ft by 20 inches deep, so getting soil at Canadian tire etc. would be pricy. Anyone know of a good place? Thanks!

I live near No. 3 and francis and need to bike north almost every day to the centre for work, school, etc and it is very dangerous to get there. No3 road, Garden city and Gilbert are out of the question as I would die, which only leaves st albans due to lower traffic. The street already has more than enough space for 1 lane of traffic, bike lanes, and parking but there isnt any infastrcuture there and I often run into close calls with people speeding upto 70-80 km/h just to overtake me. Just one south-north bike lane in richmond other than having to go all the way to to railway would be life changing. I have plenty of east-west options with willams, woodwards, steveston but no south-north option which is argubaly more important.

Hi everyone,

I’m starting to look into summer camps for my elementary-aged child who is on the spectrum. I’ve seen quite a few general camps around, but I’m wondering if there are any that are more specialized or tailored for kids with autism or additional support needs.

My daughter stims a lot (flapping hands and takes longer to understand direction etc ). I see other kids from the rec program that doesn't understand her. Gives her an odd look and avoid conversation when she engage.

Ideally looking for something that has smaller group sizes, experienced staff, and a more structured or supportive environment. We’re based in the Richmond/Vancouver area, but open to nearby options if it’s a good fit.

If anyone has recommendations or personal experiences (good or bad), I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
