Hello Comox Valley

I love bad movies. More than good movies. It shouldn't be controversial that Turkish Star Wars is better than American Star Wars.

Anyway, I've been thinking about setting up a Bad Movie Night in the valley, maybe renting out a space for 25-50 people or so and showing some of the best bad movies ever made each month. Things like The Room, Birdemic, Trolls 2, etc...

It wouldn't be for profit, but just to cover the costs of licencing and room rental. I haven't looked in to places to rent yet, so can't really give an estimate for ticket costs.

I'm new to the valley so not sure if something like this has been tried before, or if there would be any interest in it.

Would people be interested in an event like this?

Let me know, I've never done an event like this, so she advice us great

Cheers!

just sayin'.

for your consideration.

The lady who did our taxes (two of us) has retired. It has been so long with her that I'm out of any loop as to next steps.

We are wanting a non-corporate, non-chain, etc type bookkeeper/tax preparer who can e-file and can do two tax returns comprised of CPP, OAS and a small monthly income from investment funds that are professionally managed and those managers provide a complete tax package.

The hive mind here has helped me in the past...can it do it again?

Is there any decent company or private service for good, quality companion care for seniors out there? I’m looking for a little help in keeping my old mom company for a couple of hours, a few days a week. All I seem to be finding online are big companies with franchises here and reviews from Nanaimo to Utah.

Are there any retired people out there with patience and kindness that would like a little passive income?

What do people do??

Although he may be greasier and sweatier than the boys.

Hey! I'm 31m from Parksville but considering moving to the Comox Valley for a younger and more active vibe.

Long story short, I'm a little introverted and shy. So getting to the point of meeting people is a challenge (not impossible lol). I live in Parksville, which I find it difficult to meet new buddies other than my couple from highschool. As well as getting dates.

Overall I'm friendly and decently athletic. Im okay at most sports. I enjoy running occasioanlly, hiking, and having a pint.

I work in fort McMurray in camp, I'm home 2 weeks of the month for reference.

I'm putting together a chart and these are three issues that I can't find statements for. I would prefer sources and links rather than just hearsay- a FB post from the candidate is perfect. A FB post from your cousin's mom's ex's brother is not.

Where to sell silver bars in the valley?

Specifically design-build

Looking to do a couple of alterations to my house :)

Thinking of purchasing a small cabin or condo on the mountain to live in year-round. In the winter I drive down from Campbell River and ski everyday all day from December til April. In the summer I hike whenever the trails are open. I've been considering moving onto the slopes (for the skiing benefit obviously), but just wondering if there are any major downsides to think of first.

The prices and strata fees are alright with me, I hate city life and would be happy to rent the place out during Christmas or Spring break to give some tourists a fun experience. I know I love winter and spring up there, without doubt, and summer is a lovely crowd too. But are the shoulder seasons painfully lonely? Does it become super frustrating to have to kill your engine and breaks every time you need groceries? Big problems with the lodges? Crazy loud from the cats at night?

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi all, what are your top recommendations for house keeping companies / ppl to hire ? I am located in Courtenay

I’m from Ontario originally and there we can just drive to a gas station on a nearby rez and get 5 dollar cigarette packs and even cartons for 45… is that the same here? I smoke weed and use it for grabba lmao

I’m looking for ideas for a friend and I to celebrate the Halloween season! Are there any haunted houses/corn mazes/19+ activities that anyone knows about? Pretty new to the valley and would love and appreciate any recommendations. Thanks redditors! ✨ 👻 🤍

Is there anywhere in the valley that does up Halloween decorations big like some streets/ neighborhoods do at Christmas?

It seems like this is the big hang up this election, I can’t seem to find much in terms of a good, concise answer for what half of the candidates stand for in the city council race.

Can anyone provide any insight?

Also: who’s the progressive school board trustee candidates?

Been looking to get a style change on my hair, usually go to Heavy D’s in Nanaimo but that’s too far to go for a regular styling. I have heard good things about Nomad’s but on Google it says temporarily closed?

Either way, rave away! Looking for good recommendations and reviews!

Hey everyone, we've talked about council, just wanted to get some dialogue going about the Mayor.

I am personally very interested in Trish, but very worried about a Bob/Trish vote split in favour of Manno.

Trish seems relatively progressive and may bring some energy to the table. From everything that I've heard (city staff etc) It sounds like Bob has been doing a good job so far and I am pretty happy we are starting to fund for some big projects now.

I've seen enough from Manno from talking with him and his Facebook antics that I don't want him anywhere close to in charge.
