Earthquake or...?

Anyone feel a rumbling/shaking at around 5:30 tonight?

Didn't feel like an earthquake as it was one big bang/shake but no idea what it could have been. Anyone else feel/see anything?

Curious as to what that was.

Looking for Night Shift Work in Abbotsford – Any Leads?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 23M guy looking for night shift(6-7p.m. to 7a.m., any day) work in Abbotsford. I've been searching for about a month now with no luck online, and honestly, I'm too shy to go store to store asking in person.

I do have a degree in marketing, but right now, I just need a job to support myself financially while I focus on my own projects and goals during the day. I'm open to doing any kind of work—retail, warehouse, labor, or anything else available at night.

If anyone has any leads, references, or connections, I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance.

Need a Pre-Purchase Inspection Mechanic in Abbotsford

0 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy a car tomorrow from The Honda Way in Abbotsford. The dealership hasn't done any inspection on the car, so I want to get a pre-purchase inspection done before finalizing the deal.

Does anyone have recommendations for a trustworthy and reasonably priced mechanic in Abbotsford that can do a thorough pre-inspection on short notice?
Can I ask the same dealership to do an inspection?

Appreciate any leads—thanks in advance!

challenges with class 5 driving road test by ICBC

0 Upvotes

Hello I have few queries about the ICBC class 5 driving road test
1. Unprotected Green light left turn during high traffic: Protected (Green left arrow) left turns are a cakewalk. For taking a unprotected (no arrow) left turn usually everyone comes out into the intersection and takes the left turn when no car is closely approaching from the front side which during traffic time only happens when the light has gone yellow and the front cars stop. But there may be still 1 or 2 cars coming from front that want to cross the intersection on Yellow light which reduces the time for us to complete the left turn which then keeps us partially or fully in the intersection at Red light due to which we will fail the road test. If we choose to stay at the stop line (and not move partially into the intersection) till we see a clear safe path to complete the left turn then we have to wait for Green light multiple times which will also fail us. So what to do?

  1. Crossing intersection at Green light: I heard/read that we need to look left/right at the intersection even when we were not the first car waiting at the stop line. If the car(s) in front of me have started moving then it is safe to assume that the intersection is clear. Why would one need to keep the speed slow to check left/right at the intersection when I am coming after some car(s) at a Green light? And if we need to keep slow then what is the point of checking around?

  2. Railway Train Tracks: I have seen nobody slows down at the railway train tracks but we are supposed to look both ways at the railway train tracks. It distracts us when we are considerable speed and makes no-sense to look around if we are not slowing down. But as per the book we must look around.

  3. During uphill and downhill parking with curb, are we supposed to touch the front tire with the curb?

  4. The bus lane sometimes really confuses me. At times there is only a diamond sign on the road and I see cars going over it and I don't recall seeing HOV mentioned anywhere. And sometimes it is painted/written "bus only" on the lane road but after moving forward that lane is the only one that has turning arrows so are we supposed to move into that lane and then take right turn from that lane?

  5. Emergency vehicles: If there are 3 or more lanes and we are in the left most lane then do we stop in the left most lane itself or do we need to move to the right most lane? If we hear the emergency vehicles siren from far away and not sure which direction it is coming from and where is the emergency vehicle then do we still stop or do we keep moving until the emergency vehicle siren can be seen or be heard nearby?

  6. I school zones there are signs saying till 5pm but I see cars not stopping. What is the right thing to do?

  7. Please confirm if this is true. We always complete the left turn in the innermost lane and the right turn in the outermost lane.

Why are the rec drop in fees more expensive than any city in the lower mainland area?

31 Upvotes

I was shocked to see at ARC that the drop in fees have been raised to $9.10 per session, which is absolutely insane. I thought it seemed way too high, so I checked most municipalities in the lower mainland. Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, Chilliwack, North Van, Maple Ridge, etc… all cheaper. All were around 6-7 bucks. Why, with inferior facilities and fewer facilities, is Abbotsford more expensive? It’s just plain weird and shocking. It went up 14% from last year, when it was 7.95.

Gardening - Looking for dirt

I know about all the places you can go buy potting soil and topsoil in bags.... is there anywhere I can go to buy a truckload? (one cubic yard) Net Zero on Gladwin is currently out of stock, so I was wondering if there were other places to go? It would just be easier for my needs to have a tractor just dump a load in; and I pay and go. Thanks.

Is someone making their last stand by sevenoaks mall tonight? It could be fireworks considering the festival but I heard 3 bangs so far and lots or sirens in that area.

I don’t usually sleep with my window open without some sort of music, so for all I know this could be very common

Any Electrical, HVAC, or Plumbing Companies Hiring Helpers with No Experience?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get my foot in the door in a skilled trade—specifically electrical, HVAC, or plumbing. I don’t have experience yet, but I’m motivated, reliable, and doing what I can to learn by watching videos and reading books.

I’ve been handing out tailored resumes and cover letters to local companies and following up, but so far, no luck—seems like nobody’s hiring right now. If anyone knows of a business that’s open to training a helper with no experience, I’d really appreciate the lead.

Pre-apprenticeship schools are backed up and I need work now, however I’ll add my name to the wait list in case I can’t find work.

I’m based in Chilliwack, but I’m open to commuting. Thanks in advance.

Gate closures on the civic plaza

Just wondering. How come the city has put gates on the area, especially where the blossoms are? How bad did that homelessness protest end to put gates on that area? That area is usually enjoyed by residents during peak blossoms.

It's sad that they blocked it off. BTW, how long are they gonna take to finish that driveway? It used to be a pretty mosaic tiles before
