International Voter Drive 2026, for dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other U.S. citizens in South Korea

Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Park + Ride to UBCO

Looks like parking at UBCO for the 2026-2027 school year is all booked and a waitlist situation. My daughter will be living downtown. Is there a place she can park for free then ride the bus to campus? Ideally this would be a spot that shorten her bus ride to school.

Is the Gneiss climbing gym good for newcomers?

To climb that gym is it a good idea to have some experience or is it welcoming to someone who’s never done it before?

What would you consider a good salary to have to be able to live comfortably in kelowna?

Not just for the comfort, but to be able to save enough money as well. I got a job opportunity in Kelowna, and it would require me to move there if I accept the job.

Right now, I’m a full-time employee at a marketing agency here in Alberta, making $28/hr. No kids, just two cats. I rented a 1BR apartment before, which was around $1.2K a month, and honestly, I barely saved any money.

I haven’t given my salary expectations to this potential employer in Kelowna yet because I’m still having second thoughts about whether it’s worth moving there. It is my dream job, but at the same time, saving money is important to me.

No more Bright Jenny coffee cart at YLW?

Was hoping for a decent caffeine hit to prevent the late afternoon, white noise-induced plane somnolence, but was surprised that the cart's gone. Anyone know if it's coming back?

Bliss bakery in Peachland

I completely understand that the wildfires are devastating to local businesses, but I found this article incredibly tone-deaf. There are people in our community who have lost their homes, businesses, and everything they own. In that context, leading with the loss of 75% of August business feels very out of touch. There’s a time to acknowledge business losses, but right now I think a little perspective and sensitivity are warranted.

the mix on robson

hi! im a student at UBCO, will be potentially moving into the mix on robson (265 robson rd west if you’re curious), ive barely been to rutland throughout my 4 years in kelowna to be honest, so I don’t really know what to expect living there.
based in calgary due to some commitments here so i decided to stay there without even checking the surrounding areas so idk what to expect (times are tough to get a place at this point)

Questions:

  1. Is it safe for women to walk around rutland especially late evenings (my classes end at night) and that one single visit i had to rutland was sorta weird bcs i got catcalled multiple times (by unhoused and housed people) which kinda ruined the vibe a bit, i was wearing a really thick puffer jacket so idk what happened there

  2. if you’re also living in the same building and happen to study at ubco and come home at night let me know! im looking for female friends to walk home together from the bus stop which is 9 mins away 😕

im aware of negative comments people make about rutland but im hoping thats not true at all plus bad things happen in all places right? sorry for the lengthy post :) but pls know i mean well

Looking to meet Asian LGBTQ+ friends in Kelowna

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m hoping to meet some Asian gay/queer guys in Kelowna who are interested in friendship and hanging out.
Not looking for dating or hookups — just genuine friends to grab coffee or food with, go for hikes, check out events, watch movies, or just hang out.
I’d especially love to connect with people who share both the Asian and LGBTQ+ experience, but everyone friendly and respectful is welcome. 😊🏳️‍🌈
Feel free to comment or DM if you’re interested!
