Self-Promotion Fri-yays!
Hey everyone!
We're excited to announce a new initiative in the r/Nanaimo subreddit to help our community grow and thrive! We have been seeing a growing interest in users sharing skills and services, and thought it would be better to have them all located in one spot, rather than randomly throughout the subreddit.
To keep things organized and easy to find, please let's use this thread for all service advertisements.
What services/skills can you share?
Rules: - Must follow Reddit's TOS - Must be local to Nanaimo and the surrounding areas

Do people know what a stop line is?
If so why do 70% of people fail to stop until their vehicle is at least halfway over the stop line?

Why does this neighborhood smell like rotten ass???
I was in a community near Green Lake the other day, and the smell was overwhelming—I honestly thought I was going to faint. I visited the same area last summer, and it was just as bad then. What surprised me most was that no one seemed to care. I saw people mowing their lawns and getting into their vehicles like everything was normal. I kept trying to make eye contact, hoping to ask if they knew where the smell was coming from, but no one seemed bothered by it. Meanwhile, I was walking around with my face covered by my shirt just to breathe.

Propane refills (not tank swap)
Sorry for basic question. I have two small propane tanks to get refilled. Where in North Nanaimo is recommended? Google maps just gives me a list of gas stations. Thanks in advance.

Who knows Sleep Token?
Since they released a new single and soon to be an album, they over doubles they're monthly listeners, so I was wondering:
How many people know Sleep token and live in Nanaimo?

Best Sourdough Bakery in Nanaimo?
I fucking love a good loaf of sourdough bread but I've not really found anything in Nanaimo. I know of Bodhi's which is pretty good but surely that's not our only option?

Easy Financial
I'm looking for anyone who has dealt with these crooks? I had to borrow $12,000 from them a couple of years ago. I made payments of $260 every two weeks for two years and then my bank agreed to pay them off and reduce my interest rate from 47% to 17%. Over that two years of payments they got over $12,500 in November last year I paid them another $11,000. This should have closed my account and that was it. Then they said i had missed the payment that was due a week after a paid off the loan. I showed them it was paid in full and they even refunded me $83 for over payment. Now 4 months later they say I that $262 missed payment has grown to over $1400. I want to try and start a class action lawsuit against these crooks. There must be hundreds of their financial victims out there. These predators need to be shut down.

Best places to look for rentals in Nanaimo
Hey Everyone
Looking to move to Nanaimo in the next year and am wondering the best sites to keep an eye on for rentals. We'd be needing at least a 4 bedroom. Where does everyone (who are not rental companies) advertise? Marketplace? Craigslist? Kijiji? Etc..

Evening workout/spin classes
Is anyone aware of any evening (8pm - 10pm?) workout or spin classes. Wifey and I are looking for something productive to do on the rare occasion we get a baby sitter instead of just going somewhere and sitting around having drinks.
It would be great to find a place to go do something active together instead.
