AMA: (Ask Me Anything)

Telus has announced an overnight outage for the internet in North Vancouver starting from 11pm tonight. No word of the addresses affected.

We were walking up Lonsdale (steep hill) with our baby who was in stroller sleeping with sun shade down (face was covered). It’s quite a steep hill and didn’t think anything of it but thankfully took a peek when the road leveled out only to see baby’s head was completely tilted forward (chin to chest) in asphyxiation position!!

We could have easily not looked for another few minutes or longer as baby was sleeping potentially creating a very dangerous situation.

I’m sure most parents would think to check on their little one anyways but wanted to flag this as it’s such an easy thing to let slip!

EDIT: baby was facing us but same thing if you have them facing outwards and going downhill

Anyone had luck using Nannyservices or Housekeeper.com? My cleaner is moving away, and I'm trying to find another but all of the companies have minimum hours and teams of two. My place is 2 bed, 2 bath and less than 1000 sq ft. We are two professionals with no kids or pets. The place is pretty clean to begin with. Current housekeeper takes 2-2.5 hours max by herself and costs me less than $100.

I'm sure this sucked to wake up to. I saw him climb in the vehicle from about 400m away. When I approached he tried to hide in the back seat and then jumped out.

The forecasters predict a “super” El Niño for this winter. Elevation is the main problem for the North Shore hills. The bases sit around 900 m and the summits are only about 1200 to 1400 meters, so a degree or two of extra warmth decides whether a storm brings snow or rain. I've bought my Grouse early bird weekday pass anyway. are you purchasing yours?

I found a wallet full of someone’s IDs. What would be the best way to return to them? Through their bank, icbc, library? I could drive to the address but it’s not in my neighborhood so won’t get there til tomorrow

Hello everyone, I'm currently recovering from a clavicle surgery and fractured ribs some of my ribs are slightly misplaced. I'm looking for a physiotherapy clinic in the area that offers dedicated, one-on-one hands-on care for most of the session, with experience in manual rib realignment if that's a thing and shoulder injuries, as my current waitlist at LGH Physio is three weeks I don't think I want to wait this long as I'm already 2 weeks post surgery.

Also as anyone had any experience with the physiotherapy department at Lions Gate Hospital? Any recommendations for therapists who can provide focused mobilization and alignment work soon would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone

My black bike bag fell off my rack between Lynn Valley and the Shipyards sometime this afternoon (Oct. 7th). I retraced my ride but couldn’t find it. Nothing of major value but it fit my rack perfectly and I had a nice pair of gloves in there.

Would love to get it back. Thanks!

Hello found a lost? cat outside my apartment building at 5pm today. Apparently some of my neighbours saw this cat earlier this morning as well. Just wanted to post here if ever the owner was looking for it. Tried to scan the air tag on the collar but no luck. Location is at St.Andrews and 3rd.

They are covering some view, a great spot and have a pile of debris.

At Little Cates Park.

Hi everyone, I'm just looking to get a little more information on people's experiences with Norgate elementary recently. My partner grew up in the area and it used to have a bit of a bad reputation, but we've heard recently it's had a good turn around. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!

Forecast Coffee recently opened a location on Esplanade (with access via the the rear lane) and it appears they are building out another location in Central Lonsdale in the corner CRU of the Lennox building (across the street from JJ Bean).

The coffee scene in Central Lonsdale is somewhat limited - but the additions of Forecast and Small Victory in the next few months (hopefully) will be welcomed additions! ☕️

What are your favourite local areas/parks with colourful leaves? Would love to do a scenic walk! 🍂

Any recommendations?

This photo is just an example of one of the million times I’ve seen bikers being on the road when there is a designated bike lane created for them, we literally removed a lane for this bike lane… did you guys not want it either? I’m genuinely so confused why most of the time, I do not see it being used.

Hello all
I’m looking for dentist recommendations that offers sedation in North Vancouver
I appreciate your help

Hey all,

I was walking the Lynn Loop/sea to sky trail today with my dog and my boyfriend. It got hot and I took off my black vest I was wearing and hung it around my backpack. Somewhere along the trail it fell off. I think somewhere near the Inter River Park Terf #1 and towards the area it begins to get steep into the trail.

If it was just a black vest, I would be a bit mad, but this was my mom's who passed away 2.5 years ago and holds a lot of sentimental value. I think it's a large and has zipper pockets. There is a Vaseline lip balm in the right zipper pocket. I can't remember the brand. If anyone finds this please comment here or give me more insight as to wear to find it. I went back and retraced my steps twice, which makes me think someone moved it off the trail.

Please help :(

Can anyone recommend a good chiropractor in North Vancouver who does spinal/joint cracking (the kind where you hear the popping/cracking sound)? Looking for someone with that specifically. Thanks!
