I’m looking for recommendations for a brewery patio without loud music on a Sunday afternoon in Port Moody.

Thanks to my very unfortunate luck, when I dropped my iPhone 15 last night at rocky point (around 10pm), it slipped through the crack of the dock. I was wondering if there's any way to recover it? I was sitting at the second bench from the start of the dock (near the ramp), which is pretty far out, but I was wondering if there's any world where I can get it back. My parents are super pissed at me, and the only solution I can think of is using my apple care+ coverage to get it fixed for $130 rather than buying a new phone. Unfortunately you need the actual phone to use apple care+, so it would mean a lot if I could get my phone back. Thank you!

I see these g wagon, mc larens, porches below my building, I am wondering what do these people do for living in Port Moody? What am I not doing?
I am in tech and so is my wife and even then we are barely able to save anything.

The Newport Medical clinic will be closing in the fall. For the last 3 years I’ve been getting my allergy shots administered by their nurse. Does anyone know of a clinic in the tri-cities that would continue to do this?

Watching from the bottom of the mountain as smoke pours over the top during the last hour, anyone closer to the golf course that could tell me more, at work right now so I'm not sure. Looks like it's coming over burke mountain area

Hey everyone — a while back I asked for help putting together a "Welcome to Port Moody" guide for new residents, and the response was honestly way better than I expected. Thank you.

It's done now, and a lot of what's genuinely useful in it came directly from this thread. This wouldn't be nearly as good without the input people took the time to share.

It's live now as a welcome gift for anyone who subscribes to Port Moody Pulse — free, weekly, no spam. Sign up at portmoodypulse.ca and it'll land in your inbox. Full transparency, that's the only way to get it right now, but I wanted this thread to be the first to know it's actually done.

If anything's missing, wrong, or you think of something after the fact — genuinely, tell me. This is meant to be a living document, not a one-and-done thing, and I'd rather it stay accurate than be finished. Reply here or email portmoodypulse@gmail.com anytime.

Thanks again — this whole thing only exists because of this community.

Hi folks,

I moved to Vancouver a few years ago and have exclusively lived in Olympic Village / BC Place area. The key driver for my move is the lifestyle - being active, in nature, with walkable amenities around (I moved from a massive suburban city). Being close to water, with parks, with mountain views is unreal - which makes the seawall my favorite place.

We’re at a life stage where we’re contemplating moving to Port Moody for what I hope is a similar lifestyle - mountains, oceans, nature paths. But with more family amenities, space, and better affordability. I’ve never lived there before but have walked Rocky Point and the breweries and loved it. But still, the biggest mental barrier for me is whether the lifestyle there is going to work for us or if I’m going to get Vancouver FOMO.

What did you have to give up when you moved to Port Moody? What did you gain? Do you get the urge to go to Vancouver often or have you found other ways to satiate yourself?

Appreciate any perspectives, thanks!

PSA there is a new unpainted speed hump on the north end of Gatensbury (on the Port Moody end, near the intersection with Grant St at the bottom of the hill)

It's not really obvious and I've observed cars almost launching off it. Hopefully they paint it soon.

edit: changed to the correct cross street

update: a good Samaritan has drawn some triangles with chalk. So it is a tad more visible

I need a recommendation on an auto body shop to fix the rust on my car. I need it fixed so my car can pass an out of province inspection but I’d like to try not to break the bank. Thanks!

I haven't been to Buntzen in over 10 years. I vaguely remember hiking up the east side of the lake a short ways, where there were small "mini-beaches" where you could set up with a small group and be away from the crowd & families, but still sit and swim. Is this still the case? Hoping to go early and get a more private spot to set up. Thanks Port Moody!

Hello everyone!

I live in Suter Brook and my parents are coming to visit (from France!) From Oct. 13th until the 21st.

I wish we could host them but we don't have the space.

Anyone in need of a house/pet sitter?

They are very clean and respectful.

Let me know if you or anyone you know may be interested!

Just drove home at about 10pm. David from the round about until forest park way had cones along the Center line, almost blocking the left turn lane, plus a couple that had been run over and moved into the lane and intersection… what is the purpose? haha

***I did check the city’s website and didn’t see anything under roadwork/construction hence the post
