From my pint of view.

Trying to complete the career progression for the original heists on ps5 if any body wants to do it with me?

Is there anywhere in Vernon that I can get a straight razor professionally sharpened?

Hey gang.

Anyone been up on the Grindrod to sicamous road (97A) during the 9 am to 3 pm bridge closures at Sicamous.

Driving from Alberta to Penticton and wondering how much of a delay drivers are facing down that road since it is usually a slow go at the best of time.

Many thanks!

Edit my apologies for spelling “Grindrod” wrong.

If you are going to open burn please understand the regulations and get a permit. Some folks burning today and filling the valley with smoke because there is inadequate venting and mixing. You can read about the regulations here.

Here is the link to Environment Canada's index which is used to determine if it is a good day to burn your slash pile.

Also don't burn your garbage and contaminated materials like railroad ties. We all are breathing that stuff in when you light it on fire.

Has anybody received a parking ticket from these people? It seems they are pretty heavy handed.

This morning while parked there, I waited in the car while my wife went in to pick up a prescription. While I waited I watched the attendant run someone’s license plate. That person was parked in a handicap parking spot. He filled out a ticket and placed under the wiper with the lady still in the car and walked away with the lady calling him and waving her parking permit.

She caught up to him on the other side of the parking lot and when she returned I asked her if he took back the ticket to which she replied that he didn’t because her permit was “illegal because it expired”

I told her to let the store manager know that she wouldn’t be shopping there anymore. Long story short she did see the manager and he didn’t because her take the ticket back.

It just seems to me that about every time I’m there I see the guy running plates and ticketing cars. It’s become somewhat of a source of amusement for me.

Friday, January 31, 2025. 41st Over the Hill Downhill The incredibly fun and long running 'Over the Hill' race is back for its 41st year!

At SilverStar Mountain Resort. I can't wait to watch!!

Anyone goin boarding tomorrow? This is gunna be my third time snowboarding and was hoping to go with someone. None of my friends ski or board. Can even just go down a few runs together then part ways. Not looking for lessons. I'm learning pretty quick.

I’m heading up to Silver Star to do some skiing. My mom decided that my ski equipment was no longer needed and donated it all. It wasn’t new stuff, but also wasn’t old. So sad. Are there any other rental shops other than Silver Star to rent gear? I just need skis and boots.

my partner and I are moving to the area in about a month. I am still looking for jobs, but my partner is a self-employed carpentry contractor. I would like to know the best way to advertise/get the word out for him to book jobs. He uses the Home Depot local pro and word of mouth in our current city. He is planning on still using the local pro but I want to know if there are any better ways to advertise in Vernon, since we will be new in the area

Whats a decent salary to live comfortably at Veronn? Is $70,000 a year good enough for a 25 year old?

Do you research before hiring a contractor to work on anything in your home. Lessons can be learned from others experiences quite often.

Does anybody know if there are any people offering private French lessons in Vernon or surrounding area? There are lessons in Kelowna but my wife doesn’t want to drive that far.
