Looking for an orthodontist in the area who works with Jordan's Principle. Any leads?

Probably a longshot but thought I'd ask.

I'm supporting an mum with 2 kids who need braces. The kids are eligible for support under Jordan's Principle. Difficulty is that orthodontists aren't required to do this - it's up to each one individually.

Any suggestions for who to call first before I just start working my way down the list?

Thanks!

This is a legitimate last resort.

Me and my friends have been in distress with news we have just received hours ago. Someone at mss, named Curtis Lauer has reportedly gone missing.

I have been digging for more information besides the same Facebook post, but I cant find anything at all. Maybe it's just too early, idk, but it's worrying. Me and my friends have never had someone in our lives go missing like this before, and no one actually knows what to do. The facebook account name in the screenshot is blurred, I can't find a post from the rcmp, and Google gave me a link on how to better my search results when I got a 0 results page. I know this is a lot for such a quiet sub reddit (I'm thinking about posting this to abbotsford too after I'm done typing this all out) Look at the Facebook post. Just say anything, I don't care what or if you don't think it's productive enough to say, just type out something, even if you don't know jack. Both me and my bf don't know why the username is covered, we just want some kind of info that isnt that one screenshot. Nevertheless, I really hope he gets home safe asap.

Mission Train Station Parking Question

Planning to park my car at Mission Train Station and take the West Coast Express to Vancouver. Does the station have EV charging facilities? If yes, how much does it cost? Would it be safe to leave my car there for the day?

Has anyone else gotten the hand written letter for buying house in cash?

I don’t know whose handing these out or if it’s just me whose getting them but it’s so freakin sketchy that this is even happening… I wish I had the note but I threw it away but it’s always on my mind

Local dentist?

Can anyone recommend a good local dentist? Have had bad experiences in the past.

Been commuting to Cottonwood on 240th because I really liked the work they did, but many of the staff have left so now I'm thinking I might try to find somewhere closer.

UPDATE: wife was recommended to Bridgeview, and it's terrible (in case anyone else looking for same searches and reads this)

-office is poorly run. They didn't meet their commitment to the appointment time and wife sat 30 minutes in waiting room. If I were 30 minutes late with no notice I would expect to have appointment cancelled and be billed something; I accept this as the norm, but respecting people's time goes both ways for me.

-hygienist seemed inexperienced. Our last hygienist was amazing so maybe we're skewed on this, but she's taken a teaching position, and I guess she's sorely needed!

-after it's all over, they ask my wife to book next cleaning. The appointment was late, the cleaning wasn't good, so she has no intention of going back; she politely says something wrong they line of "she'll call them after she's checked her calendar". Later that evening she gets an automated text reminder from their office stating they've booked her for another cleaning 3 months away. Yikes.

1 visit, 3 strikes = no hesitation to call them a terrible office.

Looking for participants for a South Asian Adult Children of Alcoholics for a Masters thesis research study.

Looking for participants for a South Asian Adult Children of Alcoholics for a Masters thesis research study.

I'm looking for individuals within Canada who are South Asian Adult Children of Alcoholics for my Masters thesis research study. Therefore, I'm hoping to post on this forum to gain participants. I've attached a brief description of my study.

"I am conducting a research study exploring the experiences of South Asian ACoAs (Adult Children of Alcoholics) and the meaning they associate with alcoholism. I am seeking to interview individuals raised in South Asian households with an alcoholic parent or one who misused alcohol, to better understand the cultural and mental health dynamics involved.

If you know anyone who may be interested in participating, I am looking for South Asian ACoAs who:

Identify as South Asian and were raised in a South Asian household.

Lived with a parent who struggled with alcoholism or alcohol misuse.

Are 19 years or older.

Are fluent in English for a 1-2 hour online interview.

Participation is voluntary, and participants can withdraw at any time. If interested, please contact me at Shobia.vaseeharan@mytwu.ca or 604 446 5229."

Thank you so much.

Does anyone know someone who could make a custom cutting board?

Nothing fancy, as long as it is hardwood. Just needs to be one of the ones with a lip at the front and the back so it does slip back on the counter and is reversible, I think they might be called kneading boards or dough boards but I want to cut on it.

Asking all commuters

This question is for anyone who comes home over the Mission Bridge and goes through the highway 7 and highway 11 intersection and is turning west towards Silverdale around 4-6pm on weekdays.

Obviously, you know that traffic will back up to the Junction Overpass to the foot of the Mission Bridge, and they are currently doing construction to hopefully fix the problem…but, did anyone notice how the problem was temporarily fixed for a few days in the last week or two? And, now we seem to be back to the same wait times?

Good carpet cleaners?

I have a couple 8'x8' area rugs to be cleaned. I'm looking for a reputable company that will do a great job. Ideally with an office in Mission where I can drop off the rugs rather than them coming to us.

Seems like all the ones I find online all say they serve Mission, but their offices are in Langley or Vancouver or not actually in Mission.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you

Best Spot in Mission to See the Northern Lights?

Hey Mission folks, after the earthquake last night, I’m thinking we might just be in for a show in the sky too! 😅 Anyone know good spots around here to see the northern lights tonight (remote chance that it is because of cloud cover)?

Lawn care

Just moved into a place and lawn is pretty overgrown. Looking for someone who could do the first cut. My mower is older and it’ll probably kill it doing this first cut. Anyone have recommendations on a not too pricey mowing service that can take care of this first cut for me?

1425 Welton St

Hello guys!

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I want to know if the parking lot here (1425 Welton St) has free parking? I have anxiety parking in front of the stores 😅 I have parked here on numerous occasions and never gotten a ticket. Never really stayed long enough to check any parking limits, and a lot of people seem to park here also. Thank you!!

Hello Mission! As some of you may know, there are a few Clothing optional beaches located in the eastern fraser Valley, for those of you that don't know here I am telling you. We have at least 3 well known to sorta well known spots, 1 outside mission, 1 at cultas and 1 near Rosedale. I have created this sub for people to connect, enjoy the lifestyle or even just learn more about it. It has directions on how to get to the spots and I encourage you to check them out when you have time. The people who gather here are usually very friendly, kind and loving people who just want to appreciate the outdoors in the nude..

This sub is NOT for hookups or classified adds. Posts like so will be removed
