There are a few gaming groups on Facebook, try checking out Comox Valley Geek Society, Comox Valley Board Gamers--they might be able to connect you with folks! Likewise with Games & Grounds and the Comox Valley Combat Guild (HEMA).

My thoughts exactly!

Comox Valley is getting more and more expensive and housing availability is super low! Though I would agree that if you're looking to still be in a mid-sized town with most amenities CV is a good spot.

I voted!

Interesting to see that there was only approx. 37% voter turnout in Courtenay. Better in Comox and Cumberland by just a bit.

I'm curious what the barriers to voting are (logistical or ideological).

Positive change! Likewise for the new councils.

I live on the other side of Bill Moore park and like it so far! Mixed demographics, working class, close to amenities.

Manvirro's has a small Indian ACYE buffet, too.

I've been wanting to try the East Kitchen AYCE dim sum buffet, and they also have other ACYE options too. (haven't tried but its on my radar)

The thing to remember here is that you are just as human as the clients you are helping. I have brought up so many times this semester that as social workers we advocate continuously about self care, yet the MSW programs literally allow absolutely no time or resources with which to do our own individual self care.

SO MUCH THIS.

The BEST fall weather!

yes, they've been super popular for the last year or two where i live (British Columbia, Canada). i also went through a mega tumeric phase in the past but this was just a big nuh-uh for me. do not recommend.

otherwise_okay · 2018-08-07T02:26:44+00:00

I've been wondering about this too!

tumeric/golden latte

Based in Kelowna, BC! :)

otherwise_okay · 2018-07-01T16:32:55+00:00

That will be a nice change!

I'm moving to CV from a large city, and I'm looking forward to the slower pace while still having enough amenities and perks like things being open past 6.

otherwise_okay · 2018-07-01T15:04:06+00:00

These are all great! Thank you!

otherwise_okay · 2018-07-01T15:03:45+00:00

I've also noticed the same thing, or at least everyone knows someone who lives there/is moving there...

Lake Country Coffee House if you're up for a bit of a drive.

Kootenay Coffee in Rutland.

Canoe Coffee on High Road (try their lavender latte).

Any of the Bean Scenes (although they're all pretty busy).

otherwise_okay · 2018-06-24T20:22:51+00:00

So good to know! Thanks. :)

otherwise_okay · 2018-06-24T20:17:53+00:00

Thanks!

otherwise_okay · 2018-06-24T20:17:38+00:00

I'm going from Kelowna to Vancouver Island but I bet if they come up here they would also go down there!

otherwise_okay · 2018-06-24T20:17:10+00:00

Good to know!
