Central park (pitch n putt) disc golf?

Does anyone know if the new disc golf course in central park is going to be pay to play? It would be nice to have one closer to home but I'll still go to little mountain if it means playing for free.

Where do you take kids for free around here?

I just moved here from Halifax, and I have a two year old who we took to the library several times a week to play. They always had all kinds of drop in classes for toddlers, and even when they didn't, all the libraries had kids sections with a bunch of toys where lots of kids played. We went to the library here and there are literally no toys for him to play with. What do you do to take him to play around other kids? Obviously I get there are paid programs, but no one can afford to take their kids four or five days a week anywhere if they have to pay every time.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Real estate questions

Hi, I am looking for a 1-2br condo in Burnaby. I am pretty flexible- the only priority for me is that the place should be close to a skytrain station. I have been looking at Brentwood, Metrotown and Lougheed town center areas.

All the condos in these locations are great, new, modern and close to the stations. However, too expensive.

So I looked in to other areas - Joyce, Royal Oak, Edmonds and Holdom.... surprisingly the much older condos in these areas have asking prices that is not much cheaper than new condos in Brentwood, Metrotown or Lougheed Towncenter. Does this make sense? Or is it due to the supply & demand? Is the Market correcting? Would appreciate your thoughts.

Snow Removal Burnaby

Anyone have leads on a reliable snow remover in Burnaby? Looking to find one for my parents' place now that I've moved out. They're older and don't need to be doing it. We have a snowblower available as well but it'd be great to have someone who can come early in the mornings since we have tenants as well. We're also a corner lot so we're responsible for the bus stop.

Seeking suggestions on Jewellers

Hey people,

I am looking to purchase an engagement ring. I’m looking for a simple solitaire ring nothing fancy and bit tight on budget. I stopped by people’s and Ann Louise in Metrotown based on reviews on google but felt they’re a bit high in price. The service was great and the staff knowledgeable but I felt they are priced high IMO.

I also looked online and the diamonds there are still 30-40% cheaper than the ones in these stores. If the diamonds are all GIA certified, what is the difference? Should I save the money and just order online?

Looking to get any recommendations for jewellery stores in and around Vancouver. Please share your thoughts.

Thank you

Anyone interested in jamming with a bassist?

I’m 40m, and just a noob bassist. Have my own gear and play at Charts with a few others, but looking for more consistency to get better.

As long as you have a good attitude, then I’m happy to play together! I’m open to any genre so I can learn new techniques and music, but usually I play metal/rock. I’d like to get into more jazz/blues but I need practice everywhere.

I’m available to play usually 7pm or later any day of the week. PM me if interested! Otherwise I hope you have a fantastic day :)
