Yes amber alerts are important but they shouldn't be blasted on the same level as tsunami/earthquake alerts. I'm aware there's a way to disable all the alerts via usb debug on an android but I still want to receive alerts for any life threatening events.

After last night's Amber Alert that was sent as a critical alert instead of an actual Amber Alert, I'm looking for a solution where I can receive an alert for a critical alert that's not an Amber Alert. I've installed the Alertable App on my phone and I'm looking at the settings. There's an "Override Silent Mode" option that if turned on will sound critical alerts even if the volume is off. However, if an Amber Alert is incorrectly sent as a critical alert, it seems like I would still get the alert - is that correct?

Any other ideas of how not to be woken up by an emergency alert unless it's actually important?

Called urban fair and they said they are out of season but joeys is clearly getting them. Any chefs from there want to hook me up lol. For real though, I really need some. There has to be a store here in Vancouver that is selling them no?

I was just wondering if anyone has any insider information whether there will be any more bouldering gyms opening up in Vancouver... I hate the booking system at HIVE and Progression gets way too busy.

Can someone rich open up another one? plz + thanks!

Looking for a cafe with ac in downtown, preferably west end/robson street area

Visiting a friend in Vancouver in September and looking for some suggestions for hotels with solid breakfast buffets.

There was a deleted thread from a year ago where Pan Pacific was mentioned but was wondering if anyone has other good suggestions.

Thanks:)

I've been having conversation with many people and no one knows what I'm talking about. Between the time where the old oakridge was torn down and redeveloped, does anyone know if the old food court was renovated and open to public? I s

My partner and I vividly have this memory but no one else does. Whatever it was, it only existed for 6 months or so before it got torn down? I remember you could walk up these steps to access it.

Fever dream??????

Hi there I am wondering if anyone has worked for dignity memorial in their sales position?

Looking at some of the car detailer posts/promotions that come up on my insta lately, has anyone used one and what was your experience like?

Currently looking at Eco Motion, but their address listed doesn't match any buildings in the area.

A year or two back I went on a walk along the north bank of the north fork of the frasier river, maybe near Kerr St? There were a lot of murals along the length of the walk. Wanted to ask whether they're still there or if it was only a temporary thing. If so, where are they?

RBC is absolutely insufferable, I can't stand them anymore.

We earn resonable money as doctors, so if there is any that is more suited to this, that would preferable.

I need professional help. I can't go outdoors in this crazy weather. My arms have rash and itchy. My face and neck will be red once I exposed to the sun for over 15 mins. Ironically, when I'm in LA, Nevada my symptom are better. I can ask the referral to my FAM doctor. Thank you!

Hello,

I've a small collection of women's clothing made from natural fabrics, that I curated from different brands. Some of it handcrafted, not mass-produced. Fashion that respects the hands that made it and the body that wears it. I only have a few pieces in each of the designs. Prices vary from $40-$120. Any recommendations of boutiques who might be interested?

Edit: These are everyday wear Linen blouses, sundress and two pieces.

NOT ASKING FOR LEGAL ADVICE, just want to know more about how it works here.

Our family moved to Van from the US (Texas) about 15 years ago, and we’ve run into an unexpected but serious problem with LTD. We’ve all been Canadian citizens for a long time now - we work and pay taxes here - and recently my aunt suffered a serious spinal injury and is now going through the LTD-associated bureaucratic hell. I don't know what to expect. Before that my another relative (who already passed away) tried to apply for LTD in the US, but to no avail - rejection after rejection. Can anyone tell me what are realistic chances of getting your LTD claim approved in Canada? Sorry if this is a silly question, but we have absolutely no idea where to ask...

Hi fellow Vancouverites - I was working in my garden last night and woke up to this injury this morning. I assume a spider got into one of my boots and got me when I was taking put the recycling before bed. Didn’t feel it until I started moving around and now it hurts like the dickens. I’ve taken a Claritin to see if the swelling comes down but what are your thoughts? I know some of you have had bites in the past but I haven’t - is this what they look like? Relevant as it took place in Vancouver.

Hey guys, where can I find real European imported cured meats - Spanish, Italian and French preferable.

I have tried different chorizos and other cured meats but have been really let down by anything made here!

Do people who are much smarter than I know, is this current time at the start? forecasted time? Do i take the time it has and minus 7 hours?

https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

because when i click on it, it says 07/22/2026 0900 on the bottom left - but if that is UTC time, then that time has already happened?

I am looking at how bad the smoke will get for the rest of the day

Any know of any good photographers or studios that do this and a decent price point 400-600 range?

Hi! I am in a Skytrain that’s heading towards waterfront, it suddenly stop while arriving to stadium Chinatown station.

Does anyone know what happened?

I am visiting Van for about a week, and one thing I love to do is ask locals places they like to go/see/do. I was talking to some of the workers up at The Shed and got some great recommendations. I've looked through a lot of suggestions on here but seeing if there's anything else that's maybe not so well known.

I'm no stranger to the city as I've been coming here quite often, but wanted to see if there's any other underrated spots to go to, to see, things to do.

In general, I'm an avid hiker, but willing to put down a good slice of pizza/bowl of ramen/plate of pasta/as many dolma as I can fit in my mouth. Museums and book stores are always a pleasure to visit as well. And if it's weird, I'm in. I'm super fluid so I don't need to stay in the city or the direct surroundings.

Would love to hear any suggestions!

And if I can't get to this trip, you're damn certain I'll come back to try!

I can tell my brain is better with it, but I ran out of my powder I got pretty cheap in the states. Anyone have a suggestion?

Anyone have recommendations for an appliance repair service? My gas range has a burner that requires servicing. Hoping for a reliable service that people have had good experience with.

I’m planning on attending a Canucks game in late December for my kids birthday. From Tsawwassen bay ferry terminal with no car and stay overnight after the game. What is best reasonably priced way to get this done?
Thanks.

Hi folks, I’ve heard lots of people say Vancouver and the surrounding area have incredible Chinese (particularly Cantonese) food, and am headed out from NYC to try as many places as I can. Really just optimizing for food quality- if it’s out of the way and expensive and has horrible service, that’s okay.

I’ve done some initial research and have put together the following list. If you have any restaurant suggestions, dish suggestions at these restaurants, or think something on the list is merely decent and can be skipped, I’d love to hear it!
