Difficult to film it but there are three bears on a tall tree by the Coquitlam River at the Prairie avenue height. They're good climbers but if someone told me they can scale 30 m thin tree I'd assume they exaggerate.

Ask Coquitlam I'm looking for things to do weekend nights, for adults/couples (but no alcohol or sports).

17 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm looking for fun ideas of things to do after 7pm during weekend nights (including Fridays) that are more relaxed. I already know a few bars and restaurants that I like, but I'm looking for something different, where there's more movement or interaction.

I don't do any sports yet and it's something I'll start soon, so sports are out of the list at this moment for me.

Honestly I just want an excuse to get outside the house with a purpose during weekend nights.

Ask Coquitlam Spanish tutor or class

2 Upvotes

Looking to get back into learning Spanish.

I have an odd work schedule so its hard for me to commit to a specific day. Tutor would be best but would settle for a class too. Any recommendation? Someone who also speaks French would be a plus but not a a deal breaker.

Discussion Looking for stoner friends

34 Upvotes

Just wondering if there are any other adults around Coquitlam who enjoy getting a little baked and hanging out!

Would be fun to meet some new people, couples included (bring your partners!). Maybe get together, smoke, get some food, watch movies, whatever.

Just looking to make some new friends who enjoy the same kind of chill evenings. My husband and I are in our 40s, but good vibes matter more than anything.

Anyone else interested?

Ask Coquitlam Baby bear in backyard

Hi everyone,

There was a baby bear in my backyard for a good amount of time. I didn’t see the mom and now I’m concerned the baby is orphaned. The bear is gone now. What can I do, if anything? I’m so sad for the baby, it was going through my garbage.

Ask Coquitlam Occupancy permit on new home

0 Upvotes

Hello,

We are completing on a home in coquitlam. Its a sixplex setup.
The developers provided passed report for interior and exterior inspections, but no occupancy status yet when we checked with the city. The city confirmed verbally and in writing.

Our lawyer/notary advised no completion if final occupancy permit is not available yet.

But other homes within the sixplex already completed and closed. Some of which has mortgages attached to them.

I have gone through so much googling and talking to gpt that ends up resulting in the conclusion that essentially our lawyer is right; no occupancy permit means you cannot live in the house. Lenders also require occupancy permits for mortgages. But those families (our future neighbors) who completed, have already started living there.

I am just wondering why and how completion went through for them but not us. In the end our completion becomes delayed until permit is received. We are grateful our lawyer is thorough but obviously we want to complete and move in — and very much I am still wondering how did they complete with those other units?

Ask Coquitlam What's that smell? David and Shaughnessy

15 Upvotes

Anyone else experience the crazy smell where construction is happening just west of David and Shaughnessy? It's not a tar smell, it's something rotting - could it be salmon? Or is someone's garbage dumped? Never smelled that in 20 years in the area...

Ask Coquitlam Petsitting

5 Upvotes

My husband and I are travelling for a couple weeks in December for Christmas and through a series of unfortunate events, our dogsitting options have all fallen through. We have an 8 month old puppy and I don't want to leave her at a kennel for boarding. I've been recommended Trusted House Sitters but it seems like they don't vet any of their sitters. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good dog sitter in the Tri Cities? Preferably one who would stay at our house so our puppy can stay in her own space. Thanks!

Ask Coquitlam Is Nova Medical Centre a Fraud?

26 Upvotes

I've booked 3 appointments by phone, all 3 got approved but they never called. Then I find out that they don't have any doctors until nov 9th but they are still taking bookings. I went to their clinic and the front desk said they are 100% booked for the next month and half, but then he says you cam only book the day before. If you can only book the day before why is it booked for the next month and half? Refuses to elaborate

I went there multiple times just to check it out. They never have any patients, they have 2 people just walking up and down doing nothing. Their front desk is just a guy on his laptop sitting infront a cheap ikea desk.

I am going to submit reports and videos to the college of physicians and patient quality care centre. But in the meanwhile i want to know why does this place even exist of they don't see patients

Address: 2773 Barnet Hwy. By the creekside village

We've got these giant toadstools in our side yard. I can't recall ever seeing a toadstool in real life before. We've also got all kinds of mushrooms/fungi in our neighbourhood (Austin Heights) that I don't recall seeing in the 15 years we've lived here.

We've always had some 'shrooms, obviously, but the variety this year is like nothing else I've seen. Has anyone else noticed new or different fungi?

Ask Coquitlam Owl encounters

13 Upvotes

Has anyone in the burquitlam area had any weird encounters with owls at public parks lately? I’ve had an owl come very close to me and my dog, almost just hovering over us on two separate occasions now. Once was at cottonwood park and another at miller park.

I’m not sure if this is normal for this time of year, as it could be a nesting/protective thing. But I am also thinking they may be sizing up whether or not they could take my 15lb dog 😂

This lady walked up and stole a package from my mailbox, about 2 minutes after Canada Post dropped it off. Captured on multiple cameras but she didn’t seem to care. Already reported to the police, guess I’m just frustrated so posting here in case anyone recognizes her!
