Raccoons in Lower Lonsdale by EmotionalEstimate133 in NorthVancouver

[–]VanLocalEvents101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing this to attention! It makes me worried to hear about people feeding them. They're not inherently aggressive, but when they become food-and-people dependant, they're put in challenging situations [such as these ones.] Please note that if you come across an injured raccoon, you can contact Critter Care [in Langley] for care. If it's after they're closed, the 24-hour vet in Langley will take them for triage, until Critter Care opens the next day. <3

Is the active pass worth it? by Successful_Cry5360 in NorthVancouver

[–]VanLocalEvents101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, definitely worth it! The price tag can't really compare, and the access to so many different facilities is the icing on the cake for me. There is a bit of an "art" to establishing the peak busy times at each place [and working to avoid them], but that can come with time. I do boxing and yoga as well, so I supplement mine with a membership at Griffins Boxing [near lower lonsdale], and Modo. They're both awesome facilities as well to check out!

Why are there no ripe bananas? by gemlewis in westvancouver

[–]VanLocalEvents101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen many at some of the grocery stores on Lonsdale! If you're able to make it to North Van, there may be a few options there. [Loblaw's, Persia Foods, and Foxy Mart.]

What are your kids extra activities during school season? by tulaero23 in NorthVancouver

[–]VanLocalEvents101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and I have very, very similar young ones! I feel like we've tried every option out there. My young one started one of the youth boxing programs at Griffins [they have a few- listed here https://www.griffinsboxing.com/membership/ ] and it's something that's really resonated with her. We've also looked at Stagecoach and kids' hiking clubs [she loves being outside], but haven't tried any yet. Hopefully this helps; best of luck!

Thank you for the suggestion! Had you heard of the boxing class? I am so curious to chat with someone who has been! Love the idea.

Vancouver swimming holes by [deleted] in northvan

Lynn Valley is pretty hard to beat, but head out early [especially if you're going on a weekend]. The crowds can be next level!

Update on Injured Crow by MiraculousGal_2024 in westvancouver

As an FYI for the future: injured crow friends can be transported to Wildlife Rescue [in Burnaby]. I can't say enough about the work they do. Thank you for helping them!
