    Gastroenterology access

    Hello! I need access to gastroenterology service but this is the first time I deal with health care in Fredericton. So how should I access gastroenterology service? I've seen Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital offers gastroenterology but I cannot find a way to book an appointment online. So how does this work? Do I need a family doctor to book appointment?

    Weight loss

    EDIT Thank you for all your tips of diet and excercise but I am really looking for answers on different clinics or programs that exist in the city.

    What are your experiences with weight loss programs and clinics in Fredericton? Any recommendations? Or any places ppl should avoid? Why or why not? Not looking for self promotion but actual personal perspective of what is available. Google is no help.

    Tech Oligarch Sanctions

    Ok Canada! The US Tech Oligarchs paid for Trump to win the White House, now It's time to give the US Tech Oligarchs a taste of sanctions. They all make money from advertising, simple browsing to you and I are $$$ to them. All We need to do, to reduce their Canadian ad revenue by 1/7 is not use their platforms for one day per week. No Facebook Fridays! No X Saturdays! No Amazon Sundays! No YouTube Mondays!

    Share this, follow this, make a difference!

    Inexpensive religious tattoo coverup

    Looking for somewhere in town I can get old and religious tattoos covered up. Solid black but they are "fairly faded". Have wanted to get them covered for years but always quoted astronomical prices. Looking to get pretty simple designs, nothing with a ton of detail.

    Landlords in Fredericton

    Please delete if not allowed as I am sure this same question has been asked before.

    I am at my wits end in the current apartment I live in and I am desperate to move out. The building is owned privately by some random in Toronto who is constantly breaking rules and has threatened eviction if I go to the rentalmans council or whatever they’re called (and no, I do not have the money to get a lawyer). No more renting from private owners for me. In your experience, which apartment companies (example Killam, Colpitts, etc) would you consider the best and/or would recommend? Please keep in mind my budget isn’t massive so no penthouse luxury apartments for me. :(

    Thank you!

    Help! Does anyone recognize this waterfall? Looking for a lost memory…

    My father passed away last week. When I was young he took me into the woods in Fredericton where he grew up and showed up this waterfall he swam at as a kid. Always had it in my memory. I found this picture in his belongings and recognized it immediately.

    I’d like to try and figure out where this is so I can go visit and spread some of his ashes there. Any of the fine folk in this community know where this is??

    It would be ‘close’ to McLoed Hill Rd, McLoed Hill NB, E3G 6H8.

    Thanks all!

    Calling all Fredericton runners!

    On Monday, May 19^(th), 2025 I will be running a marathon in Fredericton. It will be the fourth of ten for a fundraising event I’m organizing: 10 Marathons in 10 Days in 10 Provinces, with a goal of raising $1 million for children’s charities (full story at www.10in10in10.ca).

    I’m posting here for two reasons:

    1. To invite you to join for the first km, the full marathon, or any portion in between! If you have any interest, DM me
    2. To solicit help with route planning: What’s a good place to start? (public space, parking nearby, room to gather people, city landmark preferred if possible!) Where should I plan to run? I’ve checked out the Fredericton marathon route (and know we’ll be missing it by just a week!). Is that the best route?

    Thanks for your help and can’t wait to be there in just over 100 days!

    Crazy Times for Freddy, NB and Canada

    I hope Fredericton remains the capitol of the 'state' of NB. Canada will no doubt be 5-6 States, not 1. Even if we become part of Maine, would like to see Fredericton as the capitol when it comes to it.

    need help with landlord

    We are moving out and my landlord wants to start showing our apartment immediately. I told him that my partner works from home and gave him the 2 days he dosent. lanlord say no he will need to work with potential tenants time and not ours. also said the best he can do is just open the room where my husband work and have the people take a peak but not go in. My husband works with sensitive info and if his job finds out he could face disciplinary actions.... what are my options here???

    Rent Cap in effect Today

    Just a reminder, the rent cap is officially in effect Today, Feb 1st, 2025. Your landlord CANNOT increase Rent by more than 3% (up to 9% for “justified capital expenditures for renovations of units. Landlords must provide supporting evidence when applying, and the Residential Tenancies Officer will assess and make decisions on these applications.”). Also, it is retroactive, so, if you received a notice of increase on or after September 1st, 2024, this applies to you as well. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. I’ll do my best to answer them.

    Invisalign?

    Looking for some recommendations. Just a small gap in the front I’m looking to fix for self-esteem issues- it drives me nuts. Had braces for several years but once I had the freedom stopped wearing my retainer. After 9 years I definitely notice some movement on the top.

    What are the prices like?

    Who would you recommend?

    What’s the process like?

    Thank you!

    How to make friends / meet people?

    22 / F

    hi! so i’m a little shy, which makes me nervous about dating but i’d like to get back into the dating scene - or even just make some new friends! i suppose i’m just wondering how everyone goes about meeting people, in a genuine sense - not into hookup culture!

    also any advice on ideas for first dates, approaching beginning conversations, and confidence would be very appreciated, i haven’t been on many and i get super nervous!

    thank you!! :)

    Visiting from Norway in June and looking for activity recommendations

    I (guy in my 20's) am visiting from Norway in June and looking for activity recommendations to have some fun around town and getting down with some of the maple culture. I like being physically active and working out so I thought about maybe renting a bike if possible and check out the vibes at one of the local gyms so would love a gym recommendation as well!

    Thanks in advance.

    DoorDash

    They have become SO Disgustingly unethical!! Did receive a $3.99 item in my $36 order. They would only refund $2.93 BUT offered to refund me the Tip I gave the Dasher!!!! HOW DISGUSTING IS THAT!!!! These folks need to be reported!!! That would be like going to Walmart, paying $10 for an item and when you return the item they say, sure, but we'll only give you $9 back!! How many folks are they doing this too!!?!? I'm going to report them!!
