Who do you use for your house cleaning and how much do they charge?

We'd like someone to come in for about 2-3 hours biweekly.

Hi! I was a volunteer today at the BC Provincials Track and Field held in Coquitlam. I volunteered only because they encourage parents of participants to do so. However, I was so pleasantly surprised at the manners and gratitude of all the 14-18 year olds that I interacted with in a multitude of events I thought it worthy of a shout out. I keep seeing in the news how negative the latest generation can be and we should be worried but after today.....maybe the kids are alright?

It was around this time two years ago. I was at Lafarge Lake with my friend's dog when you came over and asked if the dog was mine. You were wearing a hat, and I remember the light in your eyes.

I didn't try to start a conversation and just told you it was my friend's dog. I wasn't ready. Then my friend came over, and you left. I saw you again shortly afterward. I think you were walking with your mom. She smiled at me.

I know this is a long shot, and you may not even be from Coquitlam. But if you ever happen to see this, and if you're not seeing anyone, I'd love to ask you out for coffee.

Hi, I'm trying to print a cookie cutter in a demogorgon shape for a needle felting summer school class. One of the kids really wants to build one, but as it turns out, they don't sell that particular shape in Superstore.

I think I found a plan for one https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/stranger-things-full-body-demogorgon-cookie-cutter-stamp

If you have a printer, and could help me out, send me a price.

Hey 👋

Would anyone be interested in getting an all girls book club going in the Coquitlam/New West/Burnaby area? I (F32) live in Burquitlam. My preference is to not focus on a specific genre as I'd love to read books that I wouldn't normally pick on my own.

I've been wanting to read more, but it's been difficult to carve time out for it. I'd love to create a book club that meets at least once a month to make the habit stick and maybe also make some new friends while I'm at it.

Has anyone else had any experiences with a young guy wearing a facemask with punched out holes videotaping them while out by High Street?

Just had this guy with his camera videotaping myself and my friends having a conversation on the sidewalk for 10mins straight...he did not answer us to why he was filming and otherwise turned and walked away when we left. Did not say anything either...weird experience

Are there any concession stands in Coquitlam like at a sports field or anything that sell hotdogs/burgers? I’m really craving some specifically nongourmet burgers the ones they sell at baseball/hockey games if you know what I’m talking about, like backyard bbq style

Edit: Thank you kind neighbours. I found my fix to my vice 😂 it was perfect, and I can’t wait to try out all the other places suggested. Love to be part of such a helpful community!!!

Does anyone in the Tri-Cities area know a place that repairs or refurbishes bicycles at a fair and reasonable price?

I'm looking to buy some white rum to mix with my coke. Not sure which store has best price near my area.

Cheers!

What is going on at Gatensbury St and Como lake? Lots of cops everywhere and street is blocked off.

What book does Pinetree Secondary School use for Grade 10 and 11 science?

​I need to dispose of a child car seat that is about to expire. I'm hoping to find a free drop-off location if one exists. Because I don't live in a house, the municipal curbside large item pickup programs aren't an option for me. Please let me know if you know of any facilities currently accepting old car seats at no cost in the Tri-Cities, New West, or Richmond. Thanks!

Does Lafarge lake have lights around the walking path this time of the year?

I know during the winter they have a whole display but how about right now for just a midnight stroll?

This past Tuesday, during a school field trip to Lafarge Lake, I accidentally left my badminton racket behind when we were departing. I had set it down on the circular platform beneath the large white tent—an area where people often sit or rest. It is a flat, black "Yonex" badminton bag containing a racket with a red, white, and black gradient design; the grip is black, and the handle is stamped with a date string featuring "2027." There is a small nick or scuff on the top of the racket frame, and there is also a shuttlecock inside the bag. I have used this racket for many years, and it holds great sentimental value for me as it was a birthday gift from my early childhood. I’ve been unable to go back and look for it due to other commitments and am feeling extremely anxious; I have no idea if anyone has found or seen it. Please let me know! Although I am just a student without much in savings, I am willing to give one dollar to whoever finds and returns the racket to me... Thank you so much! It has been a truly helpless few days, and I haven't even been able to sleep well. 😭
