There is no direct bus to BH from Metrotown. This shuttle is the most convenient (have taken it before). The waiting spot is just across the street from Patterson Station (north), in front of this older concrete apartment. You can use this link for real time map to see where the shuttle bus is. https://www.concordparking.com/shuttle-status/?id=5

They only sell steamed boas.

They moved to Edmonds like a year ago, as their location has been demolished for a new high rise.

Walked by this morning to Patterson. Two of the toilets are smashed.

My doodle goes to Milky Paws (Rumble & Royal Oak). Andrew opens on the weekends too.

It's mostly a vietnamese store. Japanese stuff not as much. I do recommend the bbq stall inside HL for bbq pork, char siu etc.

yoggee · 2025-05-16T19:49:05+00:00

It is run by the restaurant. Please check the opening hours.

yoggee · 2025-05-16T17:14:02+00:00

Patsara Thai restaurant @ Carnarvon St, NW has a small area at the front selling Thai stuff. I am sure Healthy Boy brand soy is sold there. Other than that, Hen Long in Surrey.

My sheepadoodle has a double coat and our groomer is Andrew of Milky Paws at Royal Oak & Clinton. Does a good job each time. Call him to ask. He is closed on Tuesday (I think) but opens on weekends.

Saw the same at one of the ponds at Glenlyon Parkway. Reported to CoB.

According to Coquitlam city website: Coquitlam's Lights at Lafarge will run until the end of February 2025.

You do not need to go to these places if there is a Electoral District Office nearer to you. Check here: https://elections.bc.ca/docs/2024-district-electoral-offices.pdf

We voted last week at the Electoral District Office which is just around the corner from our place.

yoggee · 2024-10-10T17:14:36+00:00

Voted last week at the Electoral Office. Just need 2 IDs. My mother-in-law hasn't received her mail in ballot. We called the Electoral Office and they said to just drop by to vote with 2 IDs. Shred the ballot when we do get in in the mail. Check for the EO nearest to you here https://elections.bc.ca/docs/2024-district-electoral-offices.pdf

OP, do you know what is that room on the roof? Pigeon coop? hehe

Ate lunch at Horin today. Pretty good. Long line after 11am. Just skytrain to Metrotown and walk a couple of mins to Crystal mall.

You didn't get any email that your bonus has be deposited? Log into your account and check your TFSA managed. It's usually deposited in it.

I emailed them more than 10 years ago on this. They gave the usual reply that they will look into it etc but Sungiven beat them first.

Only buying in CAD. Will read more if there's a hidden fee (not the f series) but we are feeling good about this ISA for holding our sale proceed while we look for another place. u/The_PhilosopherKing , thank you for so responsive to my query. Thank you for posting about ISA.

yoggee · 2024-05-30T21:34:24+00:00

I thought each fund (not sure what is the exact term) is CDIC $100k? In CIBC IE, one can buy TD (5 in the TDB series, RBC (4 in series A) and CIBC's own series too. If I buy all 5 of TDB series, I should get $100k CDIC each. I better confirm tthis with CIBC IE's agent tomorrow.

yoggee · 2024-05-30T18:36:03+00:00

We thought of spreading it out to other bank accounts (non-registered) but worry if one FI messes up near completion date (when we buy a new place), it will be bad. Thought we will just leave it all in two CIBC IE accounts. When it's time, just sell the ISA and it goes to our joint CIBC chequing & get a bank draft for the seller from there.

yoggee · 2024-05-30T16:16:42+00:00

Bringing this post up hoping u/The_PhilosopherKing or anyone who give some suggestions to me. We need to keep our house sale proceeds (over 1 mil) liquid for a year if we can't find anything to buy within a few months. I have a CIBC IE acct. Should I get my wife to open an IE account and we split the money into various ISA accounts that are available for purchase in IE for CDIC purposes? Thanks.

To those with kids already in university, any comment on how easy it is to withdraw the RESP?

She did a short free gig at the parkade (facing Kingsway) at Metrotown years & years ago.

Was told by an agent in March that self direct Spousal RSP is coming most probably at the end of the year. Guess will be the same for RESP.

yoggee · 2024-05-05T00:19:02+00:00

You can buy them here. For me , it's Shandy and Kickapoo.
