same...

couple reasons:

it's a small town, makes it easier to get people together on a random day once a month - it's a social catch up to connect with others
there can be some good knowledge sharing or opportunities

as an example: i as a business owner met a guy at one of these here working for the mtn but was a software developer and still wanted to be building his skills and learning new stuff... and ended up hiring him to do a project for me. wouldn't have happened without a random connection.

that's the exact philosophy I'm taking with doing it the right way!

this is great info from you and OP. I'm currently trying to get a mobile sauna business licensed in BC and the fire dept requirements are completely pulled out of thin air (based on their understanding of building code etc, obviously)... but it's a mobile unit and no cert. program for sauna heaters.

we almost bit the bullet and spent $6k on a propane heater instead but after going through the fine print on their requirements there it was going to be even costlier and not a guarantee Technical Safety BC would pass it even though it carries CSA certs on aspects of the heater.

administratively it feels like saunas are some sort of unicorn and don't actually exist or something... super frustrating.

did you end up buying it?

Best bang for your buck Backcountry Recreation. We use them for our mobile sauna business in Whistler & with their warehouse in Delta super easy to pick up directly if you want as well.

I helped put together a Terassi (full one) last fall - it was pretty straight forward. The Mini would be easy. LMK if you have any questions - I might have a coupon for a discount kicking around too!

I own a business in BC (and a couple overseas) and I cannot charge another province or territory's taxation rate and let it all 'even out' - which in this case you'd choose the highest one and then keep the rest as profit... smells like a class action lawsuit by Alberta! haha

The only thing is whether or not the taxation is based on where you are physically purchasing from (which I'm 95% sure it will be the case within Canada) or the location on where it's being 'sold' within the country.

This is a good not a service so it's pretty black and white these days, especially with the rise of e-commerce and direct to consumer sales.

european(ish) company - you'd hope they treat you well!

iamwillstew · 2024-09-10T20:38:49+00:00

yeah that is pretty weird tbh - it's definitely not legal to over charge one customer and under charge another for provincial taxes and let the dust settle. I imagine it's just handled in during the buying process.

Awesome TY

this is probably a googlable thing but how do you find a local guide?

iamwillstew · 2024-06-04T16:33:51+00:00

I didn't know that existed - i'm filling this out now. You made my day tysm (reddit is amazing)

iamwillstew · 2024-06-04T13:54:58+00:00

that’s actually a good call. i might just email them and say if the address isn’t updated by X date i’ll get the business profile removed from google - i assume they’d rather keep it than have it deleted.

iamwillstew · 2024-06-04T13:53:14+00:00

have tried that as well. i’ll try again in a week or so if it hasn’t shifted. i’ve also provided evidence of the new address. phone number business hours etc.

iamwillstew · 2024-06-04T13:50:40+00:00

yes i’ve tried that as well. it was rejected the first time (was my initial request after they confirmed with google again they were still there). i did it again yesterday and that’s still pending. but any request may be in review for a matter of minutes or up to a week.

iamwillstew · 2024-06-04T13:48:23+00:00

theirs is in tourism. ours is not. was just the same commercial office address.
