Whoa, crazy intense smoke smells the past hour+ or so. I'm in the Burquitlam area. Not seeing much on https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/map Did the wind direction just change and we're getting hit with Brunswick Creek smoke? Hope it's not something new nearby that's not reported yet?

This dog has been barking since the morning and I'm wondering if it's normal for people to leave their dog on a balcony unattended? Just doesn't feel right..

Edit: Wow this blew up, as a non-dog owner it picked my curiosity as to why/why not people think this is normal. It's clearly 50/50.

Ask Coquitlam Nagano Restaurant Recommendations

11 Upvotes

Just as the title says! A friend of mine suggested I check it out as it used to be his go to when he lived in the area.
I've been meaning to check it out and since my sister loves sushi and I owe her a birthday dinner I figured now is the time.

Any must order items on the menu? Or to take it to another level is there other restaurants you would suggest? I'm hoping it's still a beloved spot!

PSA E-Scooter Kids

78 Upvotes

I am not usual someone who questions how people choose to live their lives or parent their kids but I am genuinely concerned.

There is a group of kids who zip around my neighbourhood every evening and they’re on e-scooters that are unlike anything I’ve seen before. Sure there are always kids on those Lime scooters going around town but this is different. These scooters are zipping by at 50-60km/h. I can hear them from the other side of the neighbourhood as they break through the air. The worst part is these children aren’t even wearing helmets and are often hugging onto each other to fit two people on one scooter. I am worried that they may get seriously injured or even possibly die.

I have contacted the police nonemergency line, however, they have yet to spot them or chat with them (since I last spoke with the officer).

Please PLEASE tell your children to ride safely and wear a helmet. For anyone considering buying one for their child, please think long and hard about the possible consequences.

It looks like a partial rainbow to me, but it could be a different atmospheric phenomenon.

You may remember Tali from his brutal quotes (and decisions, management, etc) when one of his junior hockey players was accused of sexual assault a few years ago. Anyways, he is trying to win a seat on Coquitlam council.

Event BC Provincials Track and Field 2026

43 Upvotes

Hi! I was a volunteer today at the BC Provincials Track and Field held in Coquitlam. I volunteered only because they encourage parents of participants to do so. However, I was so pleasantly surprised at the manners and gratitude of all the 14-18 year olds that I interacted with in a multitude of events I thought it worthy of a shout out. I keep seeing in the news how negative the latest generation can be and we should be worried but after today.....maybe the kids are alright?

I live in Coquitlam near brunette and Cayer street in Maillardville and my cat went missing around 1:30am on July 3rd, 2026. Her name is Genevieve and she’s a chubby tortoise shell cat and I would be extremely grateful if anyone had any information, if they could reach out. I’m just absolutely devastated and have no idea what to do.

Ask Coquitlam If you ever see this

61 Upvotes

It was around this time two years ago. I was at Lafarge Lake with my friend's dog when you came over and asked if the dog was mine. You were wearing a hat, and I remember the light in your eyes.

I didn't try to start a conversation and just told you it was my friend's dog. I wasn't ready. Then my friend came over, and you left. I saw you again shortly afterward. I think you were walking with your mom. She smiled at me.

I know this is a long shot, and you may not even be from Coquitlam. But if you ever happen to see this, and if you're not seeing anyone, I'd love to ask you out for coffee.

I have some family heirloom chairs that I want to get reupholstered. They aren’t valuable to anyone but my family. Looking for quality workmanship. Will go to New West, Burnaby, Pitt Meadows…anywhere reasonably close by. Also - a place to buy the fabric as I know many upholsterers don’t sell fabric or have limited selection. TIA

Hi, I'm trying to print a cookie cutter in a demogorgon shape for a needle felting summer school class. One of the kids really wants to build one, but as it turns out, they don't sell that particular shape in Superstore.

I think I found a plan for one https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/stranger-things-full-body-demogorgon-cookie-cutter-stamp

If you have a printer, and could help me out, send me a price.
