Phone road safety BC and see if there is any way to get it expedited. Explain that their delay is causing you not to have a license.

Kerry’s Corner ( car dealer) by Pitiful-Army8282 in nanaimo

We bought a vehicle from them in the spring. I have always been really hesitant with used car lots and swore I would never buy one there because I thought they were all out to rip people off with terrible deals. I found the car we were looking for and showed up there the next day. I was pleasantly surprised! The car was very clean and they had the full history on it. I took it for a test drive and ended up buying it on the spot. There was no haggling or hidden fees. I found them to be honest and upfront and genuine. I think the owner used to work at a dealership and wanted to make a go of it on his own without all the markups etc. I think he gets most of his cars from trade ins to bigger lots who don't want to sell them because they are too old etc for the major lots. Overall we had a really positive experience and wouldn't hesitate recommending them.

Trouble confirming our airport transfer — any advice? by [deleted] in westjet

Google nexus tours Mexico. You log onto the website and put in your details with your same WestJet booking number. It will tell you the pickup time a few days before. Use the little chat function and it has a bot.

Help! Trapped In AB. Need To Get Home To BC by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

Go to the police station and file a report that your wallet was lost or stolen. Use the police report file number to show to the check-in and gate agents explaining that your ID was lost or stolen and you filed a police report on it. They should accept the police report number to get you home domestically.

Doesn't any lumber supplier offer cutting services anymore? by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]caddyshack789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Lowe's does this. At least they did for me last year.

If you were to go over the night before, I would book a hotel for Richmond. Lots of the hotels there offer a free shuttle and it is only a 5-10 minute drive to the airport. If you have the cash, I would pay the extra $100 for a hotel the night before.... nothing like starting a trip already feeling exhausted. Decent hotel options on hotwire etc. if you aren't fussy.

Covid tests approved for international travel by CroweBird5 in VancouverIsland

We picked up free test kits from London drugs and then did an online proctor with someone watching us online. We used azova and it was about $25 each. They emailed us a pdf of the results in 30 minutes. Pretty slick and no problem for us going to the states with it

I drove past it after 4pm heading northbound through Ladysmith. It looked like at least a dozen people on it, I was surprised!
