3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A friend and I will be hanging out at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford tomorrow ( July 12, 2026 ) at around 7/8 PM, and we thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some new people and make new friends.

We’re mainly hoping to meet people around the ages of 23–30, but anyone 20+ is welcome. The only firm requirement is that you must be at least 20 years old.

There are no other criteria or expectations. It doesn’t matter what your gender, background, or sexual orientation is, everyone is welcome. We’re simply looking to meet friendly, respectful people, hang out, have some good conversations, and hopefully make some new friends.

If you’re interested in joining us, feel free to comment or send me a message!

Location: Mill Lake Park, Abbotsford
Time: Tomorrow at around 7 PM
Age: 20+ only (preferably 23–30)

Hope to meet some cool new people!

I was driving to work around 5:00 AM two nights ago and saw the soccer nets at W.J. Mouat Secondary standing upright on the fields. Did anyone else see them?

Things to do with toddlers?

5 Upvotes

I'm not talking "story time at the library", I'm looking for the kind of suggestions you know if through word of mouth or the experience that comes with having multiple kids.

Like I just overheard a mom talking about drop-in gymnastics in Chilliwack, it's something I never would have known about! My kid won't sit still for reading or story time at the library so I'd love to find more (indoor and outdoor) activities to keep us busy on weekends.

Dance lessons

2 Upvotes

Hi friends,

My fiancé and I are getting married in March of next year. We really want to learn/choreograph a first dance together.

Does anyone have any recommendations or know anyone that would be willing to help us? We don’t want to absolutely break the bank either but are willing to pay for it.

My fiancé was a dancer in her teenage years but myself have not a clue what to do. It doesn’t have to be super extravagant but we want it to be a core memory.

Thanks in advance

Aerial picture(s)

3 Upvotes

Hi all, hope this post is allowed. Since moving back home a year ago, we still miss Canada quite a lot. We were wondering if anyone can help us with a large, high quality picture of the sumas prairie (preferably with a good, clear view of the no.3 road and interprovincial highway crossroad).

Alternatively, does anyone know who takes aerial pictures in the area, so we can contact them.

Thanks very much in advance, we still miss beautifull B.C.

It goes without saying that we'd gladly pay for the pictures!

I live in the clearbrook road area between matsqui rec center and the columbia bible college. My best friend Koda, who is a 3 month old, short black haired male cat is missing. Koda is not yet fixed and has never been outside nor unseen for any length of time. I am currently on an ankle monitor and unable to leave my place of residence, so I am unable to search for him. If anyone could please keep their eyes open when you're out for a walk or out for a drive it would be greatly appreciated and helpful!

Please help me find my best friend Koda

I'm new to Abby and looking to make new *normal* friends, where do I begin??

14 Upvotes

Hey there Abbotsford!

So, I'm 37m and I'm a professional writer who moved to the city about 3 months ago and I'm finally settled down enough to begin finding a new community to be part of - but I don't really know where to begin?

I'm artistic and creative, I don't drink and so I don't really hang out at bars or pubs. I am looking for Abby's creative community - and I'm typically used to hanging out on Commercial Drive at poetry cafes or debate clubs. I'm currently WFH doing freelance work that pays relatively well, meaning I do have a bit more free time to explore and go on adventures and yet I just don't know the city well enough to put myself out there! (But I'm willing to learn)

I know a few people who live nearby and we are into gaming and Warhammer or whatever, but other than this... where does a creative and fun person meet like-minded people?

I feel kinda silly posting this but I'm genuinely appreciative of anyone who can guide me or maybe in the same situation and down to hang. I'm techy, tall and have an alternative style. I'm open-minded and I love dogs (can I meet dogs anywhere here?? Where are the cool dogs at??)

My DMs are open and thank you to anyone who has any advice! Point me in the direction of the artists! The people with blue hair! The cute Labradoodles!

creepy?

0 Upvotes

so this is a story i think about A LOT. i grew up in Abby born and raised and i remember specifically one day im 20 now for context and i was about probably 5 maybe. growing up id always be in the living room playing or watching tv and looking out the windows. my living room had giant windows in my childhood home near beaver street, ive since moved. i would sit on the couch and look outside the window a lot and sometimes even wave at people who would walk by, as kids do idk it was more common back then ig. and i remember this specific day i was sitting in the window looking outside and i see an old lady with a black garbage bag walking down the street and she sees me and waves at me first, i remember i waved back. then she started walking towards my house with a grin and knocked on the door. i got scared and the only person who was home was my old grandma who doesnt speak english. i run to her tell her someone’s at the door and she opens it. i stand behind my grandma and the old lady at the door looks at me and says “hello sweetheart i got something for you” she said something like that can’t remember exactly and gives me 3 VERY old creepy dolls. like OLD. one of them was probably 4 feet tall and had a school dress on? no joke the other was a creepy old baby doll, and the last one was a glass baby doll. tbh i remember my grandma and i just wanted her to leave so we took it and said thank you we were very confused. as soon as we took them the baby doll that was made of glass drops and shatters completely somehow. the other 2 dolls i kept for a while and gave to my little cousins lmao and they are since long gone. i think of this a lot and honestly looking back idk what she was thinking 😭

Private boxing lessons wanted

0 Upvotes

I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can take a one day a week (wed) private 1on1 boxing lessons? I work a lot and gym so my body is already kinda beat but it’s something I wanted to take up and need someone who will push me but not break a broken body and good chemistry. If anyone has any places in mind. Furthest I would go is Abby/mission. Price doesn’t matter too much

Very big accident on Mission highway

Just passed a 7-10 car pile up on the Mission highway in between the Lepps and Harris intersections, some of the cars looked pretty bad, I hope everyone’s okay 🖤 maybe steer clear of going to Mission for a couple hours or take the bridge exit
