r/Portmoody

I was walking my dog through Mary and St George street (close to the elementary school) yesterday and this kitty approached us before my dog kicked off (she’s not aggressive towards cats - she is normally afraid of them but this was the first time a cat was even mildly tolerant of her and she got over excited).

Lil Ron bolted but not before I clocked his name tag and that he’s in really rough shape. I kept looking for him even after I’d popped my dog into the car - no luck.

Looked like Ron had some chunks of fur missing and had been bleeding in those spots (not free bleeding anymore but the wounds were raw looking).
If you’re Ron’s family or know who they are please check in on him and get him to the vet. Looks like maybe he was in a scrap with another animal and those wounds can fester very quickly. It’s cheaper to treat earlier than later (if money is a factor).

Anyone know if White Pine Beach is packed right now?? Debating on heading over for a paddleboard swim but am worried I’ll drive 45 mins and end with no parking lol

Each year’s assessment is determined by sales around July 1 of the previous year. So 2027 assessment will be based on sales as of July 1 2026.

I looked at detached home sales in port moody over the last 2 months, almost half of them sold for nearly 8-10% below assessed values from 2026. More than 80% homes sold for atleast 5% below 2026 assessed values.

I expect a 6-10% drop in assessed values for detached homes in port moody area next year. This is definitely bad news if you are looking to sell next year. The price floor moves lower by another 6-10% as people these days are using assessed values as a bench mark and bidding below it.

On the bright side, some people may see lower property taxes in 2027.

This is not just port moody. Across Vancouver metro area, condos are selling at 10% below assessed values, on average detached is selling 5% below assessed values. This number is propped up by some strong areas like Kits where homes are selling above assessed values. Overall, there is going to be a significant decline in assessed values across the entire region in 2027.

Hi currently looking for someone to watch our 10 year old Chinese crested during the day. My partner and I both work in film and usually work for 12 hours. We need someone that can have an early drop off like 7/730am but that also may change. Pick up will usually be 630/730pm

Now for the dog. She is the sweetest little dog. Barks once a week, probably wouldn’t bark around you until she gets to know you. She really just needs someone to sit beside. She won’t really walk, she’ll just need to go out to pee twice in that time frame. She loves to cuddle and she’ll just sit and wait quietly. She’s not too big on other dogs, unless they are very chill. Great company for a retiree or a work from home. She will honestly just sit there and sleep.

If you’re looking to make a couple bucks more a day shoot me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

Her Instagram is @titafrankie if you want to see how cute she is

Hey I'm currently having an issue where my phone should be compatible with my drone but unfortunately the USB C port is finicky and wont connect to my drone's controller
I unfortunately don't have Facebook anymore but have a few people keeping eyes out for me on marketplace however I figured it cant hurt to try here as well
I was hoping to pick up a phone someone might have just sitting around for around 100 - 150$, it has to be at least an android 13 or an I phone 11 for the OS to be compatible
obviously a bit of a stretch but I figured if someone has one collecting dust it would be awesome to help each other out by saving me some money and someone getting a few bucks for something they don't have a use for anymore

Effective immediately, direct links to X (Twitter) and Facebook are no longer permitted.

Why?

Many posts require an account to view, making them inaccessible to many users (and moderators).Social media posts can be edited or deleted without notice.

Meta and X reward post that cause controversy and therefore many of these posts result in many reports and issues.

Many of these posts coming over seem to be gripes about Facebook groups. This is not useful for community conversation.

If something is genuinely newsworthy, there is usually a better source with more context.
We want discussions to focus on the content, not on driving traffic to social media platforms.

There's a Facebook group called "Port Moody Local Election 2026" that seems to be a whitewash for a certain political party. Posts asking questions about the victim shaming, and support for someone who committed sexual assault are deleted and people (me, for instance, among others) are banned. I was just told I broke a rule, when in fact I have written proof that I followed the admin's rule. She deleted my post anyway, then banned a bunch of folks.

There's another group, larger, that's just getting restarted called "Port Moody Municipal Election 2026"

I figure that has a higher likelihood of not being terrible.

I’m finding it really hard to buy fresh fruit. The discount stores are so hit and miss. They may be cheaper but you can easily end up throwing away half of the fruit. Or buy premium and it’s so expensive.

Anyone know a place that sells quality fruit at decent prices?

hi guys! i need to ask yall for a favour- i need a morphsuit for an event ASAP. anyone willing to sell theirs for $10, $15 ish in the port moody area? i can pick up anywhere. if interested, please comment on the post the one you have and sizing, and the condition it is in. thanks!

I’m not keen on the chaos at the fanzone in the city and wondering if there’s any spots locally besides bars?

My mother was waiting at the Mary Street stop for the 180 bus right under the T sign with her compass card out around 2:30 pm. The bus arrives, she makes eye contact with the driver, but he just drives right past.

According to her, the same thing has happened to her before and she suspects it's the same driver. The driver was a white male. My mother is a brown hijabi. We have no idea if this was racially motivated or if the driver is just a dick. I was just wanting to know if anyone else has had a similar experience, whether in a different bus route or for 180. It's just frustrating because she had to walk back home in the sun, or she'd have to wait 15 minutes in the sun. I've reported it but I don't know how much good it'll do.

Looking at making the move out to Port Moody, while still commuting to East Vancouver (both parents). What would be a recommendation for daycares for under 2y/o? Anything I should know before making the move?
