Im planning a trip and my first day will be from aldergrove to west vancouver. Id rather not get an Airbnb, wondering if there's apps to match with people comfortable hosting for a night, crashing in my tent in a backyard, etc.
That's in advance.
I live in Canada and if I won the lottery Id get myself covered by Rich Hardy. There is something so unique to his style that I cant seem to find anywhere else. Its like a touch of realism thats bold and traditional enough to age gracefully.
Im wondering if anyone can suggest some artists similar to his style - anybody in north America? Europe?
Thanks in advance!
I just want to vent - when weshouldbefriendsvancouver started I really enjoyed the fact there were lots of outdoor, free social gatherings. Big groups, lots of people meeting in fields, parks, etc. It was awesome. Over the past year, it seems the curator has fallen into the hands of capitalism and only hosts ticketed events, infrequently at best. Any free ones like book swaps are hosted in tiny spaces that cant possibly accommodate enough to make a real impact. Its kinda sad to see, because life is the least affordable its been in our lifetime, and isolation becomes more of an issue each year, and now this great idea that could unite so many has turned into another cash grab. But hey dont forget to buy your merch I guess.
Idk, just my two cents. Happy to hear your thoughts.
Looking for volunteer opportunities to gain insight in the health care industry - any suggestions? Would like something that is applicable towards my nursing application at UFV.
For context, they told me, and broke down hard. I hugged them, I assured them its not their fault, and told them they should be proud they told me. I encouraged them to talk to a therapist about it. They said they have before, but dont anymore. Only me, and their fiance knows. This happened to them when they were 9 years old.
It broke my heart really bad. This person has always had some issues, and knowing this explains a lot. I want so badly to help them, but they switched up pretty quickly and said they would probably never tell anyone else and that they dont really want to talk about it.
What can I do to support them? They deserve to heal so so much.

Hi everyone,
Im currently preparing my application for Sept 2027/Jan 2028 and have straight As in all my prereqs, first aid scheduled for July, Casper test scheduled for September, but I cannot for the life of me seem to get healthcare volunteer hours.
Im located in Langley, Ive applied to every hospital from Delta to Chilliwack except for Burnaby and Langley as they are not accepting volunteer applications right now. Still waiting for a few hospitals to get back to me but so far maple ridge, and delta have sent me notice I was not accepted as Im not a resident to those cities.
Im wondering what other volunteer opportunities would be eligible - Im hoping for something as "patient facing" as possible.
Any suggestions are super appreciated!

Hows this 4 day looking?
Ignore the weights unless you see an anomaly. Some of these weights need to be adjusted, most of these arent accurate as they were decreased for higher reps during a recovery week.
Am I wrong to think Im focusing too much on triceps and not enough on biceps?
Everything is 4 sets.
Am I overworking anything?
Am I underworking anything?
A tiny bit of back work on Chest day as my back sets were lacking compared to Chest, and by adding a workout on Chest day they are now even.
There is a rest day between Legs and chest day.
Then 2 rest days after back. Repeat the next week.

Hi - I'll try and make this quick.
Im 30, looking to go back to school for nursing.
Ive calculated my cost, and im looking at about 177Kin total.
Tuition plus fees, textbooks etc: 40K
36K per year for living expenses, x 4 years = 144K (hcol area, cannot move back home, 100% independent no help available)
​
If I get accepted for Sept 2027, I should have about 130K in savings by then. I save on average 20 to 26K per year.
My concern is - Im worried I have too much money to get approved for a student loan for the remainder.
Is this the case? How do student loans work? Will they ask me about my savings?
Do I just need to accept that ill be at my miserable job for a few more years until I have enough?
I want nothing more than to be a nurse. Healthcare is my calling. I know it. But the program is demanding. The possibility of me working while going to school is slim to none. Even if I work during summer breaks, that won't be enough to get me through the remainder of the year. I simply need to be accepted for a student loan.

My dad is coming to vancouver and wants the "Vancouver Sushi" experience - high quality fresh seafood, high quality fresh sushi. Where would you recommend? Hell be staying in a hotel near Granville station. Im looking for suggestions other than Miku - as I already know about them. Open to anything between Burnaby and Vancouver.
Hello!
Im currently exploring different avenues of Healthcare and am curious on some information while I make my decision; Im looking at Nursing, and PCP.
Im in the lower mainland (langley) and like most of us here, id prefer to stay. My understanding is the lower mainland is incredibly oversaturated with EMRs - what about PCPs?
If I were to go into PCP schooling immediately after finishing EMR, would I have a hard time finding full time PCP work in the lower mainland after schooling?
I feel like the stability of Nursing is much more promising, in the lower mainland. Is that correct?
4 years of school does seem daunting, however.
I know they are working on making the bridge from LPN to RN a little easier these days; what about PCP to RN?
Thanks!
