Hi,

Just wondering if there are any DnD groups in Creston? I've always been interested in trying it out but wasn't sure how to find a local group.

Thanks.

I saw a couple campsites but they're like $50 per night. I just to rest for a couple hours.

I've never been to Canada before and have the opportunity to go to Creston. My son's friend lives there, both boys, teenages. We would stay with his parents who I've met and are nice. My son would say in their house and I was offer the camper, a pop up I believe. I was told that they just need to hook up the water. My question is, I'd be down for some hiking. However I would like to have a rental car so I can do my own thing. Visit the breweries and wineries. I didn't see an Avis or other rental car company besides something that looks to actually not be open for business. I believe they live on the north east side of the mountain. Ive found a few Airbnb but without a rental car at my dispensary I feel like I have no choice to stay in the camper, not that I wouldn't be appreciative of that but I think then I'd feel stuck. Thoughts? TIA.

I’m considering the move to Creston and have pet questions for the locals! How many of you have pets - mainly dogs and/or cats?

Is Creston and the surrounds well served when it comes to pet food stores and services?

Are rentals pet friendly?

Are businesses pet friendly?

Thank you!!

Hello! I’m looking at a move down to Creston for work in April, and planning on staying long-term. I’ve been looking at the rental market on Facebook and it seems really limited - I’d be looking for a 1 bedroom for $1200 or less (utilities included) - I MIGHT be able to afford a bit more but I’d prefer less if I could.

Is this a reasonable amount? Secondly, does anyone have any recommendations for looking for rentals? Is a commute from a nearby town reasonable?

Thank you in advance for any help/advice you can offer!

I cannot tell from the city's website as it only shows part of the tax calculation.

What is your residential assessed value and gross property tax before any grants?

Cost of Utilities ? What do they include?

A friend posted a plea… she bought this salsa in Creston and would like to buy more or get the recipe. She said amazing roadside stands but she can’t remember where she got this. Any ideas?

I want to get family a gift card for coffee this year, but I don’t drink coffee myself. What local business does a good coffee in town?

Hey Creston!

Local resident doctor and longtime redditor working here in Vancouver/Burnaby/New West. We've been hearing a ton about the significant shortage of family docs in BC right now, which is putting a lot of pressure on people of all ages to manage their health on their own.

While DEFINITELY not a replacement, UBC Med Students and Resident Doctors in the lower mainland, Victoria, Kelowna, and Prince George have put together a new 1-on-1 free online lifestyle medicine / health coaching program to support people working towards healthier lifestyles who might otherwise not have access to such support! It's called PLM Coach (stands for Prevention & Lifestyle Medicine). It's science-based - we actually did a research study of the program among older adults during COVID!

If you know anyone looking to work with someone to improve their health (particularly older adults living with health challenges or chronic conditions), feel free to send them to plmcoach.ca to see if it might help out! The coaches are super passionate, and would love to connect.

Take care and be well!

I’ve lived here a few months and loving it. Are there any good fall/winter events to watch out for?

And I’m curious…are you voting for Jim Rota or Arnold DeBoon for mayor? I don’t know much about either of them.

We are passing through Creston on our way to Saskatoon and have a flat tire. Have the spare on, but can’t find anybody open on Saturday to get it repaired. Any suggestions from the locals? Any help/advice is appreciated. In a bit of a bad situation

Hello! I am new to Reddit and maybe soon I will be new to Creston. My husband and I (along with our two toddlers) are thinking of moving to the area. Can anyone tell me about services such as a library, hospital, children's activities/ playgrounds and elementary schools/ daycares?

Is the area safe (from violent crime?) Is the area often impacted by fires or floods? Are the highways in and out of town easy to drive? Is the weather as mild (summer & winter) as I read about online?

We have lived in the central interior, Okanagan and on Vancouver Island but have never even visited the Kootenays so any information will be greatly appreciated :)

Hi there... just wondering if Shaw and Telus operate in Creston? If Telus is there, does it have a fibre-optic network?
And does anyone have any reviews of Swift for living just out of town?

TIA!

On holidays and going through one of my favorite areas on thr motorbike. Stopped in at Wild North Brewery for a beverage. Hoping for a one stop meal and craft beers but settled with a tasty pint of something hazy. I should really pay attention more.

I had moved here just over a year ago. I recently had my alcohol stove stolen from my tent.

I am in the market for another stove. Should anyone have such an item, they are willing to let go of, I would be happy to work for it. I really like eating.

​

Message me if you have any ideas. Happy to help, in any way.

My friends and I need to purchase or trade for a baby goat. Does anyone have information on farms around Creston where we could find goats??

I used to live there a while back, and I remember that place having Bangin burgers. It's too bad it had to close down.
