Government employee discount

I saw the post asking about the government rate for GoodLife Fitness, and it made me realize I’ve never actually used my government employee discount for anything .

Are there any discounts you guys actually use and find worthwhile? Any practical ones for everyday stuff?

Tate Johnson appreciation post

I have to be honest, I’ve never been the biggest Tate Johnson fan. I always thought he was a little too raw and not too soft on the ball, but I knew he brought a ton of energy and value in other areas.

But there was one sequence today that really impressed me.

I believe it was around the 53rd minute — Sabbi was on a breakaway and Tate made the overlapping run all the way forward, giving Sabbi another option while also pulling a defender away. Then when we lost the ball, Tate immediately sprinted all the way back, defended the counter and won the ball back.

Literally end to end in the span of about a minute.

For some reason that sequence just stuck in my head. It was one of those plays that doesn’t show up on the scoresheet, but really shows what he brings to the team.

Great team win!

Is there a good place to compare municipal election candidates? Or city council?

Ok, i don't usually follow municipal politics, but recently I've gotten pretty frustrated with how my neighbourhood has been changing.

This time I actually want to vote for someone who cares about the day-to-day issues people deal with, not just making promises that look good on paper.

Is there a website that compares where each candidate stands on different issues? I know they'll all say the right things, so I'm looking for something a bit more neutral, and explain the different views.

Lately it feels like the people making these decisions don't actually live in or understand these neighbourhoods. Cant believe i am so frustrated and actually looking in to these lol

Im at the game

I’ve been to World Cup matches, but honestly nothing beats the vibe of a Whitecaps game.

So glad this is back. Love you all — this is awesome.

Let's not waste this World Cup momentum...

i've been seeing so many casual fans talking about football lately because of the World Cup. A lot of friends or my kids' friends' families have been asking me about the Whitecaps since they know I'm a season ticket holder.

Honestly, I'm more than happy to talk about the team and share whatever I know. This is exactly the kind of momentum we've been waiting for.

If you've got friends who have been enjoying the World Cup, invite them out to the LAFC match. The atmosphere should be fantastic, and it's a great chance to turn casual interest into long-term support.

I am sure everyone is on the same page but just wantsd to share this... Let's take advantage of this moment and keep growing the fanbase.

Whitecaps at Swangard: Parking and SkyTrain Advice

Hey everyone, I'm excited to watch the Whitecaps game at Swangard Stadium next week, but I'm also a little worried about the logistics.

I know Vancouver Rise plays there regularly, but I imagine this match will draw a much bigger crowd. For those who have attended games at Swangard before, how bad are parking, traffic, and SkyTrain access before and after the match? I'll be attending with my young daughter, so I'd like to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks!

We need the win today!

We need the win today. Not just for the tournament, but for the future.

​

Korea and Japan didn't turn 2002 into just a great memory. They used it to grow the sport for years. That's what I hope happens here.

​

A good run can create fans for life, inspire kids and help the sport keep growing. Let's make this the start of something bigger, not just a few weeks we'll look back on fondly!!

March to the match for the Vancouver game?

As a Whitecaps fan, I'm familiar with the March to the Match before home games. A friend of mine mentioned that something similar might be organized for the Team Canada match next Thursday.

Does anyone have any information about this? I'd definitely be interested in joining if there's one planned.

World Cup Viewing at Cactus Club Station Square — Good Spot?

Hi,

A few friends and I are hoping to catch one of the World Cup group stagr matches (not a Canada game) at Cactus Club Station Square.

I was wondering what it's like there for watching sports. Are there plenty of large TVs? How's the sound during games?

Also, when making a reservation, I can choose between the lounge and dining area. Which would you recommend for watching a match? A few of us will be bringing pre-teen kids as well, so would the lounge still be an appropriate option?

Thanks!
