Scarecrow Siren/Alarm in between Mount Royal Dr and Cecile Dr

If anyone else resides in this area, you may have heard what I have to assume is a scarecrow type audio system. All day, it switches between blaring sirens, hawk screeches, and other loud, obnoxious noises, presumably to scare off crows or small scavenger animals?

Anyone know who owns it? I'm having a hard time figuring out who has this going from dawn till dusk. There have been more frustrating matters to deal with for sure, but it sucks to hear all day and night with the weather getting nicer, and not being able to just sit outside and enjoy the yard without needing to have headphones on to block out the noise.

Doesn't help really that my room faces the setting sunshine, so it gets so hot in here that I have to keep my windows open with a fan on, even the fan can't block out the sound of this audio system.

I started noticing it a couple of weeks ago, and it just hasn't gone away since. I know that I could reasonably call bylaw I'm sure, but I'm wondering if there's just a way to get in touch with whoever owns this thing, and just see if it's possible to just turn it down. I still want to be respectful and mindful of how others choose to protect their gardens or whatever the case may be for the alarm-- it doesn't really matter, I just want to understand, and maybe find a compromise before having to be that person.

Thanks for reading and hearing me out <3

New Subreddit Rule

As elections get close, in order to maintain reasonable discussion members that break site wide or subreddit rules multiple times will be banned. Please go over the site rules when posting. The goal is to avoid the dumpster fire FB pages become at election time. Political discussion welcome but within side wide rules.

Eagle Ridge Hospital Experiences (inquiry)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I saw a similar thread from years ago so figured I’d ask.

Maybe I’m biased, but I’ve never had much confidence in Eagle Ridge Hospital when it comes to more complex or harder-to-diagnose medical issues. For things like broken bones, cuts, routine care, etc., it seems completely fine from what I’ve seen.

But for situations where symptoms are unclear and require more in-depth investigation, specialist involvement, or thorough testing (weird headaches, unexplained pain, ongoing stomach issues, neurological concerns, etc.), I personally feel more confident going to Royal Columbian Hospital instead.

For people around the Tri-Cities — would you agree or disagree based on your own experiences?

The issues I am inquiring about is in regards to symptoms that stem from cancer, viruses/bugs etc (of this sort of matter)

From Reddit to Real Life? 🤔

Just curious if there's actually been any members of this subreddit that went from online comments to making change IRL. Has anyone here participated in any civic committees? Run for office in Port Moody? Volunteered anywhere? Literally anything. I just wonder if the people who are always talking here actually participate in the community in some way.

Port Moody Voice announces first council candidate after 8 months - Mark Kunzil

The Port Moody Voice has officially announced its first candidate for Port Moody City Council as the party begins assembling its team for the 2026 municipal election campaign.

The party, led by current city councillor and declared mayoral candidate Haven Lurbiecki, became an official civic party near the end of 2025 and has since stated its intention to field a full slate of candidates in the upcoming election. If successful, the group would mark the first formal civic party structure in the history of Port Moody municipal politics.

Despite those ambitions, the rollout of candidates has so far been nonexistent. Months after first indicating plans for a complete slate, only one name has publicly emerged for council, leading to speculation about whether the organization will be able to recruit enough candidates to meet its stated goal before the election cycle intensifies.

The first council candidate to be publicly unveiled is Mark Kunzli, who was introduced during a private event held at an undisclosed location. (Later discovered to be Kyle Centre) Limited details were released surrounding the announcement, though Kunzli is understood to be a relatively new resident of Port Moody, obviously loving the community enough to decide to move here to raise his family.

The announcement raises new questions about the direction and strategy of the Port Moody Voice campaign as it attempts to establish itself within the city’s traditionally independent municipal political landscape. Supporters argue that a coordinated team could bring clearer policy alignment and stronger organization to council, while critics question whether party-style politics are the right fit for local government and if slate politics will foster a collaborative and effective democratic council.

Attention is now turning toward who may be announced next, as the Port Moody Voice continues building its roster. Political observers will be watching closely to see whether the party can maintain momentum and attract recognizable community figures ahead of the 2026 campaign season.

What do you think about the Port Moody Voice’s first council candidate announcement, and who do you expect to join the slate next?

Curious about Pmv infighting

Steve Milani and his vile son have been attacking the current council since he lost. That’s just whatever.

But I kinda assumed Steve would be among the first of the PM voice candidates to be announced. I’m hearing rumours that Haven has made it clear he’s too much of a liability to be a candidate now given his behavior. Dude is unhinged. But he’s so unhinged I don’t think he would take that well. So does he run against her? As an independent maybe? Does infighting hurt them?

Life in Port Moody

Hello everyone! I am a 27M and I moved to Port Moody almost a week ago. I visited the Rocky Point Park (which is an awesome place during the day), but I have not yet seen night life here. I had been to the bars/pubs next to the park, but almost all of the folks there were in their little circles. I would love to meet people here and make connections.

A little about me. I am an international grad student at SFU, an active runner, a hiker, play tennis, and these days go to Rocky Point Park in the evenings for long walks (sometimes with my dog).

I would love to know if there are any community groups, running clubs, or just hangout spots where I could just drop in.

I would appreciate your feedback!

Thanks.
