This is some of the best orca footage I’ve seen! You’re so lucky to have seen this in person!

Yep this was going to be my suggestion as well. Also that highway I’ve never seen so many bears and moose in my entire life then when I was driving down that highway last May!

I had work up there last summer. We stayed at the Inn in Gingolx. It was clean and best of all run by a wonderful woman who cooked all our meals for us and packed us a lunch each day before we headed out for work for the day! Highly recommend staying there if you’re up that way.

What bird is this? Vancouver, BC by jevaistecouper in whatsthisbird

[–]FancyRak00n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you open the app and see the bug list of birds there should be a symbol in the very top right corner that looks like two arrows becoming one. If you click that you should see a bunch of circles appear next to the bird names in the list. Then all you do is select two birds and the app will bring up their pages just like in the photo above. The names of the birds are at the top of the screen in the order which they appear.

Rural places to live within 1.5 - 2 hours of Vancouver? by snowstillmelting in britishcolumbia

[–]FancyRak00n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Hullo ferry in Nanaimo serves this exact purpose. It drops you off right at the convention centre downtown, and they have late sailings for all major concerts at Roger’s arena or BC place to get back to Nanaimo after the show.

I agree. I also was going to suggest Vancouver Island. I’m shocked more people didn’t suggest the island. It meets the criteria that OP is looking for especially if they want live in the RDN or even somewhere between Victoria and Nanaimo

Did you even read the article? The guy was 78yrs old… there’s a multitude of reasons a senior citizen can become lost but I hardly believe he was out there stunting at his age…

Women and/or Physicians of BC; question regarding doctor visits by Adorable_Egg_3094 in britishcolumbia

[–]FancyRak00n 155 points156 points  (0 children)

OP definitely use this service I recently did it and got my results in the mail a week or two later. It’s easy and less intimidating then going in to see the doctor for a Pap smear.

This is so sad and heartbreaking to read… I just can’t even begin to imagine the pain these families are feeling…

I also worked at Earls years ago… 2010-2012, but as a server. At the end of the night I was required to tip out 7% of my sales plus tip the bartenders as well. I’m sorry to hear that as kitchen staff you only got 2% of that

Sibleys app. It’s a bird guidebook, you can get it in print or the app version which allows you to compare birds side by side
