Hey everyone, I am looking to borrow a mini fridge for one week, approximately the 25 to the 1st.

Ideally it would be a small fridge that works that you wouldn’t need for a week that I could pick up and lift into my car (so small enough for one person to lift) and bring to use at my house from the 25 to the 1st approximately.

My other solution is buying one second hand or Costco or so but I just don’t need one longer than a week so I would end up returning it and would prefer to borrow one than risk some returned item and a up in the land fill.

On the off chance that someone local has a small working fridge they wouldn’t mind lending to me I thought I’d throw it out here.

please feel free to comment or DM with any leads, thanks in advance!

I’m visiting Courtenay this week and would love to get a few runs in while here. Have both my road and trail runners with me but don’t know the area at all and unsure where to go. If there’s an active run group this time of year even better. Anything from 5-25k and 5-7 minute/km (depending on terrain) would be right up my alley. Also love Hash House Harrier type outings ;)

We have some old/rusty circular saw and jigsaw blades that we need to dispose of, anyone know how/where to do that?

Hi everyone! I’m a 27 year old female moving from Toronto to comox valley as a dental hygienist. I’ll be moving in November. I like to say I have done quite a bit of research and have a good idea of what to expect of Comox valley. I’ll be moving to courtenay specifically.

Any advice and suggestions and survival tips appreciated :)

Our cat has been missing since Aug. 11. We were away from home and our cat sitter let him out in the evening which we do not do. This is the first time we've have this problem for an extended period of time, what do people of the valley recommend doing in these situations? What organisations should I notify? I've done a few FB posts on local bulletins and pet groups. What else? Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you so much.

Pretty wild that some residents can stop a project that followed all the required riparian permitting requirements all to stop a new entrance to the park. As someone who frequently runs in this park, I'm writing to the mayor as to how insane this is.

You can find the City's write up on the project here. https://www.courtenay.ca/parks-and-recreation/parks-and-greenways/bear-james-park

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of feedback on prices for dental services in the valley. I have no dental plan so everything is out of pocket.

My dental team told me the price for a routine cleaning and check up is $350. Somehow I remember it to be a lot lower. So I have a few questions :

Do dentists have all have a standardized set fee or are they free to set whatever price they like ?

How does a $350 fee compared to what your dentist charges ?

Are there any dentists offering more reasonable fees for their services ?

Thanks for your perspectives.

So I had a package from Intelcom Dragonfly that is over a week late, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue with the past week or if it's just me? I've been trying to get ahold of them to no avail.

So we don't miss the plot: Please don't come in the comments if you're going to generally gripe about hoe bad they are in general (We know!) offer advice (I know how to read, thanks), or talk about an instance that hasn't happened in the last week. None of that is helpful. I know the regular channels of communication to resolve the problem. I only want to know if anyone is having this problem in the past week so I can figure out if it's just my shipment or if they're screwing the pooch for everyone.

Looking for somewhere to take my young children for a swim that doesn’t have swimmers itch and is warm and clean. Moved from an area with lots of beaches and beautiful lakes and am feeling a bit sad that my kids don’t get to experience that.

Prefer fresh water, but at this point I’m open to anything. Thank you!

What are the best stores in the valley? I'm into cast iron cookware and Le crueset, etc. And men's clothing from the 60s to the 90s

Does anyone know any details of the incident. It seemed quite serious.

Does anyone know anybody with a lot or a field so that i can safely practice wheelies on my dirtbike, with permission?

please let me know.

Looking for landscape recommendations. Want to have someone come out and put a bunch of mulch done and possibly some pavers for a path.

Any recommendations out there? Looking for someone to come within the next week or so ideally.
