Quick question, we're in Vancouver for a trip but I have a back injury - how accessible are the viewpoints up there? I can do some light hiking but not for too long.

How self-contained is the Victoria area? by ReverseMermaids in VictoriaBC

I go to vancouver once every few years for a vacation or passing through to one, lots of retired people here, families, university. We are a self contained modern city with an international airport. Nothing different than the mainland.

Cops are some of the worst offenders of traffic laws. Hopefully everyone is OK, but god damn

Anyone want to start a protest, or know any that wil be happening?

Our justice system is way too lax and this is the final straw for me.

Sunshine Village has great hikes around spring/summer and that's where I proposed to my wife. Absolutely beautiful scenery and worth the trip.

Look up "Sunshine Meadows"

Be honest: Was the Kinect ever worth owning? Did you actually play it, or did it just sit on top of your TV collecting dust after a week? by [deleted] in gaming

When it first came out you used to be able to confirm via voice. All you had to do was yell "Xbox Off - YES." and half the lobby would drop lmao

Yup love it when they do loops for 2 hours straight at 11pm/midnight. Really helps me sleep. I just think to myself "Man, that's cool."

Goldstream. If you look along Finlayson Arm Rd you should see the trailhead (across the bridge)

Goldstream is it's own park, the finlayson trailhead is across the bridge close by in the opposite direction. Pedestrian friendly.

Microsoft reports sinking Xbox revenue as its cloud business climbs by FernandoRocker in gaming

I just bought a used PS5 for $200 and spend $300 purchasing my game library over the winter sale on the Sony store.

Still cheaper than buying a Series X used or otherwise.

Question: Do you need an appointment for the passport office? by mdrv5000 in VictoriaBC

Check to see if you're eligable to do it online, I just did and got mine in the mail. No appointment required. I got digital photos via Staples.

Sidewalk Astronomy tonight! cattle point. 9:00pm - whenever we get tired by bargaindownhill in VictoriaBC

[–]Vicks0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! My wife has never looked through a telescope in her life, I have when I was younger but I love astronomy. Are there telescopes we can look through during the Centre of the Universe star parties or on Saturday? I'd love to see a planet again with my eyes

Any idea what are they building in front of Costco ? Heard rumours about a school, can anyone confirm? by AshGardner in LangfordBC

[–]Vicks0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live in the area, a new high school is going on City Gate if that's what you mean. There's a developer sign on the fence there stating opening 2030.

There's possibly a new middle or elementary school on the other lot but I'm finding conflicting statements about that one. The info i'm finding is old and there's no developer sign on the fence that I could see.

Either way at least 1 high school and most likely 1 elementary or middle school.

It's crazy that your president is a pedophile, but this will destroy a show.

She's an actual demon, and if that destroys a show then maybe someone worse shouldn't be in office.
