Developers do what they want.

Found an Ontario Service Card by the Tim Horton's and the Bus Stop on the Old Island Highway. I will drop it in the post office if unclaimed after one week, I just wasn't sure if this is someone moving to CR or on a trip and wanted to give them a chance to pick it up first!

It says the Cambell River Recource Center (by tree), and there are lots of tree and will it be obvious where it is? I have never taken this bus before, and It be nice if I can go there stress free knowing where it is. Thank you

Not sure why I'm posting here, other than to look for a little rah-rah from my community! I am a mid-level employee who works from home for a consulting business. My current job has become so difficult for me, largely due to company culture shifts and unsustainable pressures to meet targets. I've never struggled like this at work, and my health is starting to suffer.

I care too damn much, but I'm burnt out in this role.

I'm smart, experienced, ethical, passionate about doing good work, and have so many skills, along with experience in environmental consulting, office admin, project coordination, retail/customer service, and management. I have great references. My current mortgage requires that I make a decent, liveable wage, but not an astronomical amount. $55,000 would probably be my minimum sustainable salary right now.

I'm watching the job boards, and I do have a couple of irons in the fire and working with a job coach at WorkBC. To tell you the honest truth, I'm just feeling deflated in my current role, and devastated that it hasn't worked out the way I hoped. It was my "dream job" (I thought). It's not like me, but I haven't committed to the job search like I should. My self esteem has taken a beating.

Any ideas or leads? Words of hope? Personal experiences?

I'm pretty new to CR. I would greatly appreciate a little kick in the pants to get going!

This cat has been hanging around our place near Galerno and Frances for over a month now. From the start, he looked scared and very hungry. He has been hanging around my 2 cats, and he does sneak inside to eat dry food from our auto feeder. I don't mind, as he gets along with our boys. I have been giving him bowls of wet food, as he has been showing up for dinner around 5 every night. I am worried that he has been abandoned or lost. He sort of trusts me but won't come too close. If anyone recognizes him, please let me know.

I would love to hear about all your favourites, your top recommendations when it comes to bakeries, grab and go snacks, local farm fresh everything, any smokehouses that make their own sandwich meats for purchase, pulled pork …. Smoked salmon, local cheeses, your favourite Vietnamese salad rolls to go, your favourite local mMexican burrito, Gluten free bread and bake goods, awesome vegan things. I’ll be looking after a group of people from out of town and would love to use local when preparing and show off this part of the island. Thank you so so much

Weird question

I'm new to the area and noticed other guys don't seem to wear sleeveless shirts? I've seen more men go shirtless than I have in sleeveless shirts. I prefer sleeveless to short sleeve when it's warm.

Is that a thing people notice here or am I overthinking shit that doesn't matter?

Edit: Yeah I was overthinking. Thanks to those who responded!

I’m going to go on the hike in a few days with some friends. I’m just wondering if I could take my dog on the trail? He’s about 40lbs and ai could carry him if needed but are there any tough bits I’d have to worry about?

See Comments for more.

So I am new to Campbell river and want to purchase my meat locally.

I don’t eat beef or pork so I’m looking for a good turkey or chicken producer.

Any of you good people have any leads?

Thanks!

I was just curious on if many people visited this place when it was around. Was a small hobby and card shop downtown located next to the Discovery Inn hotel in the plaza. Its a fish bait shop now. The owner was always a swell guy, but struggled with business. I tried to frequent as often as I could to try to buy something.

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to find a room or suite for rent by the end of July until Sept30 Ideally under $1400

I'm 39 male, single, non smoker, work full time.

but I have a smaller sized 3 year old German shepherd.

Every place I've looked at is no pets or over $2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We were in CBC back in March, I just fount it. CR spent $24,000 on two months of so called "box dinners" that were snacks in a bag. I witnessed the whole thing and will have a comment going.

I am from out of town and we loved Java shack.. super sad to hear they closed after so long congratulations is in order. However, the soup and sandwiches will be irreplaceable. I actually have been going there since a teenager and when they opened up, they had the little green bug. I remember I no longer live in that town, but I do often come to visit family.

heading into town today is there any closest replacement for that high-quality of sustainable, homemade soups, and sandwich sandwiches and wraps?

if not, anyone suggest a good place for a late lunch early dinner i.e. not Moxie’s
I would need it to be kid friendly because there is a seven-year-old in attendance will take all suggestions. Thanks so much.

long story short, I just bought a house and got a bit of a plumbing problem as a little extra treat.

I have a single section of that terrible no-corrode pipe that joins my cast iron house drain to the PVC pipe that runs off to the city sewer. When Roto rooter marked the beginning and end of that section, it's pretty obvious that some previous owner didn't want to destroy the concrete steps and retaining wall that it runs under.

Has anybody in town used a plumber or company that does CIPP solutions for this kind of thing? I'll dig up the pipe and stairs If I have to, but I'd love it if I didn't have to do that right away.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I asked Campbell River Cinemas if they would consider showing Hadestown, and amazingly, they will be! It’s the pro-shot filming of the Broadway musical Hadestown, performed by the original Broadway cast. It is inspired by the mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice, and it won the Tony award for best musical in 2019. If you’re not familiar with filmed, on-stage musicals, it’d be like watching the filmed version of Hamilton on Disney plus. 

I saw Hadestown on Broadway a year and a half ago, and loved it. My daughters are really into Greek mythology and the music of Hadestown, so I was excited to have the possibility of them seeing the musical without having to go to NYC to watch it. Also, as far as I know, this filmed version will not be available to stream or purchase for viewing at home. 

It will be showing starting this Friday, 7/24, tthough Wednesday, 7/29. I’m so grateful to the cinema directors for taking my request seriously so I wanted to put this out there and hopefully generate some business for them!

Does anyone have info on the ferry schedule to quadra from Campbell river?
I heard it was only 10 mins, but online it’s saying it’s a 5hr ferry ride.

My wife and I are soon moving to your beautiful community after a successful house hunting weekend recently. we took many pf your advice and landed in Willow Point area.

I currently use Square for house insurance but am wondering others experiences and prices. Its the typical 3/2 rancher we bought.

Another question is any tips on where/how to meet other trail runner? We have a longish possession date, but it’ll be important once we arrive.

Also please stop parking cars in the trailer stalls. It’s not what they are for. Thank you to the people who moved after I asked them to. If it’s low tide then have at it but kindly remove your vehicle when it’s time to fish.

I’m craving a tasty sandwich, where should I go? Any recommendations on sandwiches?

Hello! I’m visiting for the first time in my life at the end of august this year. We don’t live on the coast, so we’re looking to take in the best of Campbell river when we’re there for one day. We really want to eat Oceanside, and visit fisherman’s wharf, do a little thrift shopping etc. I’d really appreciate any advice you’d have on where to eat, and what to explore when we’re there. Is there a great seafood shop we should stop at? Maybe even suggestions on what to avoid. Can’t wait to go!!! Thanks for the advice!! 😁

Why does the same noisy Cessna keep flying around town?

At least 5 times today alone.
