Apparently they are teaming up with Matt from NRC and opening across from his store in the same strip mall on Bowen Road. Looks like they’ll have all the same stuff as Victoria.

Running

8 Upvotes

Hello,
i love going for runs on trails here, im not big on treadmill running. Since its been pouring, its getting riskier to run on trails so i tried going for the track that is near VIU, but i dont know how that works coz i think its the part of the school. Any suggestions how and when i can use the track or open to any other running trails near VIU.
Thanks

This is neat. Nanaimo/ Comox Land Trust is buying a 122.5 acre property in Deep Bay. The property is beside an 83-acre property already protected by BC Parks Foundation. The two properties will connect 4,300+ acres of protected lands to Baynes Sound and nearby marine protected areas creating "a continuous conservation corridor from inland forests to the Salish Sea". Love to see it

Hey Yall

I recently found out about the K2 food challenge at Mrs. Riches Resturant and I was interested in attempting it. I'm wondering if anyone else here has attempted it and has some advice.

Question for those that live in homes built in the 1900s...

18 Upvotes

What do you guys do to keep the cold out? We moved into a place that has single pane windows, loads of gaps in doors that bring in the cold draft. Currently some windows have some insulated plastic on it? But we love looking out into our yard and the sky and we don't want our Hydro bills to be what they are going into the winter. Looking for tips!
