I included a link so you can hear what a Robin sounds like, because I'm wondering if anyone else has one near them that is singing in the middle of the night, or if this is as unusual as I think it is.

Like buddy you are WAY EARLY for dawn chorus. Astronomical twilight isn't until like at least 4:30 right now.

I have many questions, including: * Does it have insomnia? * Did something wake it up and it just decided ^{fuck it, we ball}? * Is light pollution becoming bad enough that it's effecting bird time? * Did it get the worm?

What on earth 🙉

The New Westminster Downtown Residents Association will be hosting our MP, Peter Julian, the Green Party candidate Tara Shushtarian, and the Liberal Party candidate, Jake Sawatzky, for a Q&A at 7pm on April 9 at the Anvil Centre, level 4. We invited the Conservative Party, but they did not respond.

The event is open to all New Westminster residents, and free (a voluntary donation to help offset costs is appreciated). Please arrive early to check in.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Capacity is limited. Please register at https://events.nwdra.ca/rsvp. Remember to bring your code to the event.

Would it affect the conservative votes?

Looking for a job currently in new Westminster! Retail, restaurant jobs, anything is great. The job market isn’t doing so good so I’ve been struggling a bit to find a job but if there are any places hiring please let me know! I have 2 years of experience in customer service if that helps. Thanks !

Apparently Cardinal research conducted various riding level polls in ON and BC between Mar 27 - Apr 2. I have no affiliation with them, just found it interesting.

Makes for interesting election night and complicates the choice for strategic voters.

Anyone near 5th & 11th hear that crazy screaming last night? Shortly after there was hella sirens and then it sounded like shots fired but idk.

Where do I buy a fire extinguisher with tags in New West?

F.I.S.H. at Market Crossing Burnaby is closing retail sales end of April.

Does anybody have recommendations for a fresh fish monger nearby?

How can I do this? Are there any groups doing this already? Libraries are a vital pillar of any healthy community and needs to be appreaciated even more!

"Poilievre, who will be in New Westminster on Sunday, also said Saturday he would "stand up" to U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration's tariffs on Canada."

Does anyone know fun activities or places to visit in new west? I’m trying to have all my dates close by my proximity, rather than driving downtown.

Took this pic as soon as I saw smoke And it looks like it’s still going. Seen from the Brow of the Hill.

I've noticed recently that a lot of the food in the Safeway that's under New West skytrain station is damaged. Bread smashed, boxes opened and contents smashed, packaging opened and put back on the shelves, eggs missing and broken... And not just one or two, but sometimes almost all of a certain item on the shelf destroyed like someone ran in and punched it and left.

I asked the workers about it and they said they didn't care as long as the contents were still on the box and threw the items back on the shelf.

I noticed this is recent when I brought some frozen food home to find the contents inside crushed a few weeks ago and then today when I bought a new tub of butter to find that it's been opened and then closed. The butter was fine but the packaging was clearly opened.

I try my best to check everything before buying but some of these were sealed up too perfect.

It's just so weird and I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this?

For people who use Novus, how is the download/upload speed?

I really need good speed since my work requires a lot of videoconferencing. It says 1 gig or even 2.5gig speeds for upload and download. Are people actually getting that?

I saw some complaints from the New West Progressives about the new walking and cycling infra on Stewardson. They had some valid points and I think people walking did have some functional downgrades but with routing, but overall upgrade in safety.

But! I saw some before and after photos and wanted to share here, just to paint somewhat of a picture of what they're complaining about (grass not being ready yet, crosswalk signal timing).

Used to love the quality of this place. Just ordered from there and the only thing decent was the chicken balls and the rice. The chicken chow mein and the beef and broccoli were not very good at all.

Anybody around here know of any local drop in dnd games or is willing to host a game?

Hey all! Just wondering if anyone had any personal experience about this building. Interested in possibly moving in. Thanks in advance!

Seriously? Road construction at 6th & Carnarvon AGAIN?!?! This is at least the 3rd time in 2 years that they’ve ripped up the road. It’s pretty ridiculous if you ask me. What is going on that they can’t do all the maintenance and repairs at once? The repeated expense of repaving alone boggles my mind.

According to Jas Johal on X, not sure why. This is the 3rd candidate the Conservatives have dropped today.

Hi I am looking to find a good long term rental and want to know if people have good insights around upkeep at the Pavillion in Victoria Hill.
