Had a kid in the profile pic too. Immediately no.

Does anyone know of a 24/hr convenience store/gas station that has infant Tylenol? Willing to drive, just not aimlessly around town as I’m let down by adult Tylenol.

Edit: I’ve sorted it out, thank you night owls of Nanaimo 🙏🏼

Need a full hatch replacement for my 1998 Toyota sienna and not sure where to start looking. We are doing research and calling around but thought id ask here too for recommendations. Thanks so much!

Any recommendations for local arborist? Looking not just for simple tree removal but tree health. Too many of the google searches end up going down to companies on the mainland.

Recently I played in the Mid Island Chess Championship and honestly one of the coolest events I’ve done in a while. So the same guys are now organizing a chess simul with a Grandmaster! (basically he plays everybody at the same time and there’s only been something like 2k GMs in history).

GM Samy Shoker is flying from San Diego to run a 50-board simul at Beban Park August 1st. Samy is a FIDE 2500 and Chess Boxing World Champion (a sport where you alternate rounds of speed chess with rounds of actual boxing).

After the simul, he also does a 2-hour lecture breaking down key positions from the games, what he was thinking, what he saw, why he made the calls he did. Then he does some Q&A (I’m totally asking about how he got into chess boxing!)

I grabbed my ticket already. They have ones for just the lecture also. If you've ever wanted to sit across from a real GM and actually play, this is pretty much the chance. Kinda rare so figured I'd share before it fills up!

All the info is on the Oceanside Chess Club's website. Hope to see some of you guys there.

I have 4 pieces of live edge maple that are too thick for what I need. I would like to take roughly 1/2" off the 2" thickness

(2 pieces are 35" long and 2 are about 20")

Anyone able to help? (And how much would it cost?)

Considering a move to Nanaimo, but medical care is a concern to me. I don't have any major medical conditions, but I am of a certain age where it could become an issue in say 10 years or so.

How hard is it to find a doctor?

Where is the closest facility for specialist care or surgery?

How hard is it to get appointments?

Hi everyone! I’m currently transitioning into administrative work and I’m just curious — for those of you working in government offices like City of Nanaimo, Island Health, Service Canada, or BC Government, do you actually use AI in your day to day tasks?

Like for drafting emails, summarizing documents, scheduling, that kind of thing? Or is it restricted in your workplace?

Would love to hear your experience. Thanks! 😊

I'm preempting this a bit, but my ex and daughter have 2 budgies that have been together for about 5 years and the male died last night. They rarely interact with the birds, so now the female is completely alone and I'm wondering if there's any budgie lovers out there with room for another one - I don't want her to be alone for the rest of her days.

What is the best rates everyone has been getting and with what banks?

Does anyone in Nanaimo have a class 4 driver's license? It seems so hard to find people who do.

Are you a new voter? Or not sure if you are on the Voter’s List? Make it easier when you go to vote in the 2026 General Local Election on October 17. Register to vote through Elections BC at elections.bc.ca. The deadline to get on the list for this year’s election is Tuesday, August 18.

It's coming tomorrow and for days after as well. Enjoy your last few breaths of fresh air outside for a while 😢

It seems like pedestrians are getting more entitled about cars stopping for them. If there isn't a crosswalk or markings don't just walk towards me and expect me to stop when we're far away from each other. Watch where you're going and look both ways.

Hey guys, my strata manager is not coming through so I am having to hire my own air quality testing company for my apartment. Does anybody know of a good, reputable air quality testing company and I know? I'm thinking of calling Modern Pureair
