General Participation Guidelines and Rules Overview
15-Second Guide to Posting
Rule #1 - Civility
We require our users to be positive and respectful to one another. This means being kind to those you disagree with.
Behaviors such as shaming, mocking, ranting, advocating violence, and threatening (including threats of self-harm) other users, third parties, groups, or businesses will be met with removals and bans. This includes content that leads to or promotes on- or off-site witch-hunting, abuse, or harassment in any way.
Be excellent to each other.
Rule #2 - Inclusivity
Respect others' differences, be they race, religion, home, job, gender identity, ability, vulnerability, or sexuality. When faced with a removal or ban, "I was just joking!" or "it was obviously sarcasm" are not acceptable excuses.
Dehumanizing language and slurs are instant bans.
Rule #3 - Accuracy
Do not deviate from news headlines when sharing news articles. Save your opinions for sharing in comments within the post.
Moderators reserve the right to remove posts about extreme experiences at the team's discretion if the information or source is unverifiable and/or sensationalized.
Please avoid posting information that can be easily proven false, including science denial like anti-vaxx messaging or disputing climate change.
Rule #4 - Topic Guidelines
All submissions should be relevant to Metro Vancouver and the surrounding areas. Topics and news about British Columbia or Canada may be allowed within mod discretion.
Duplicate new posts will be removed. Basic and common questions should go on /r/AskVan or relevant subreddits, not /r/Vancouver. This includes legal, tenancy, polls, moving, travel, and more. Questions, rants, and PSAs are allowed with moderator discretion only.
See the FAQ for more details as this is a complicated rule.
Rule #5 - Spam, Selling, and Self-Promotion
No unauthorized self-promotion, job-seeking, buy/sell, referral/affiliate links, crowdfunding campaigns, surveys, or petitions. We define spam as more than one self-promoting submission for nine unrelated pieces of content. Moderator discretion may be used when proactively identifying and actioning astroturfing and/or stealth promotion.
We automatically remove low-quality domains and UTM tracking links.

Where I can find a place that teaches Hóu Quán (Monkey Kung Fu) in Greater Vancouver?
I am curious about that is all, I also couldn’t find a place where they teach this stuff through Google, so I’m asking here.

Lost set of keys
Hey everyone, I was running at Stanley Park earlier today and lost a set of keys and my earbuds. I think I lost them either at Lions Gate or near third beach. I ran across the bridge towards North Van, then back, went to Prospect Point, then down to English Bay through third and second beach. If you've found my keys please let me know. Thanks!

Hit-and-run witness request (North Van right before the ramp to highway 1, on Main Street).
This happened at 10:10 PM Friday night (December 20th). Happened right at the spot indicated in the image on Main Street right before going up the bridge ramp to highway 1.
I believe it was like a dark grey semi truck but I could only see the back and no license plate. They rear-ended me three times for no apparent reason. If someone witnessed this please let me know

lost cat bus wallet
Hello Vancouver!
I somehow lost my cat bus wallet, I think in a Lyft tonight. It’s cat bus’ face and it has all my very important things in it. I know this is wildly out on a limb but I feel kind of lost and want to do what I can. It has my pr card in it, my usa passport card, my loops, a necklace and a holo taco mini file in it. There’s cash too but I’d happily give it up to have the wallet back. So if you stumble across it in your adventures please hit me up. It would literally make my year. Thanks Vancouver!
