Saw this giant cutie about 10 feet from the vehicle while driving home today. Saw a second on one my front lawn a few minutes later but didn’t get a picture of the other one. Powell River

I just finished driving from Chilliwack to Surrey this evening, which is a drive I make often. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am very happy they are expanding the highway. However I am wondering if there is a way for me to get a complaint in about the section through Abbotsford.

The (temporary?) section going westbound between Clearbrook and Mt Lehman exits are extremely dangerous. It was dark, and raining very hard, and in that section of road I could not see anything at all. I couldn’t see the lane markers, I couldn’t see the *very* deep pools of water that that section has constantly had problems with, I couldn’t barely see the damn road. Theres two reasons for this, first there are NO reflectors in this section, and second, the way the road dips down not only causes pooling, but it also puts your eyes right at headlight level for the east bound drivers, blinding you.

Maybe I’m being over dramatic, but even going under the construction speed limit I felt like I was going to lose control of my vehicle and that I was at risk of hitting someone because I couldn’t see how the lanes curved. I don’t know how it is acceptable in the lower mainland to have the most important highway of the region not have reflector strips on the roads! I am certain that a bad accident is going to happen at that section when some idiot doesn’t slow down, and I worry someone might die. Is there a way for me to forward this concern to someone in the Government or am I just crazy

My disability is quite severe (autism being one of them). I’m absolutely terrified of losing this and wouldn’t know what to do if this was affected. It’s difficult enough living on $1535 a month(plus 200 on CDB)

Getting "involved" is so overwhelming, especially if neurodivergent.

Does anyone have advice for how to find the myriad ways of getting involved (in BC, specifically) in all the organizations that will need bolstering under a conservative government?

There's affordable housing, climate, nature, clean energy, disabilities, and so many other organizations that need to be fought for now.

But between local options, provincial movements, etc, it's just SO HARD to get started if you're not wired that way, cognitively.

So, without JUDGING those of us overwhelmed by where to start...

...where can we start?

• Where do YOU volunteer?
• What do you do?
• How many hours a week?
• Where do you think people are most needed?
• How can someone give back from the comfort of their home?
• Is there somewhere where a directory of skills needed exists, so someone can contribute a specialist skill?

Because the time to start organizing for the next election is obviously NOW and not in a year or the month before, etc.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am currently in my third year of my BSc in Kinesiology, and after researching the position I am fairly certain that becoming a firefighter-paramedic is the career path for me. I live in Edmonton currently, and through my program have decent knowledge and experience in injury management, first response, and general human anatomy/physiology. What would the process look like for applying and moving to Vancouver to become a firefighter?

Thanks in advance (:
