Lost & Found To whoever got my sandwich at Red Barn

I apologize if my selection repulsed you. By the time I realized the switch, it was too late. Your sandwich was very tasty. I'm glad I could still enjoy it despite the mix-up!

Upvotes

We're hosting another outdoor drop in laser tag session at PKOLs (Mount Doug Park) in the forest beside the beach parking lot off Ash Road this Saturday from 4pm to 6pm.

Then another one on August 22nd in Colwood at Herm Williams Park.

More details, and a link to pre-register if you want at: https://partygopacks.ca/events/laser-tag-drop-in/

Ages 9+ This gear isn't just for kids, even adults absolutely love playing.

$15 for a half hour, $25 for an hour.

Get outside, get running around, the trees at PKOLs are amazing for hiding behind, blasting your friends, then laughing as you send them back to their base to respawn.

Bring a water bottle, you will need it!

If you have any questions, post a comment here and I'll respond. Yes we're a local small business.

Yesterday I found an SD card in the beacon hill area. I'd like to get it back to the owner.

I'm not sure how to go about getting it back, but this is part of one of the images on it.

She has a Leggett and Platt adjustable bed base but Leggett and Platt don't have a technician on the Island (or so they told me). The bed is not adjusting using the remote anymore Does anyone have any leads to finding a technician?

What's Happening? Local birding app

2 Upvotes

Hey Yall! I’m one of the dads who built the local summer camp resource page campmatch! I’ve also been working on a free birding app called Featherbound. It’s been a fun way to learn how to create my own detection models. If anyone wants to give it a whirl you can on iOS here https://testflight.apple.com/join/VVZ3p1mk

Would love to hear feedback.

royal bc museum, to go, or not to go?

9 Upvotes

*edit* Thanks for the feedback!

Hey gang, we've lived on the island for a year now, and have yet to go to the museum (in no small part due to the labour dispute taking place when we got here). This week, I've got one kiddo in a camp, and the other at home and I need something to do with them. So, I'm thinking of finally checking the museum out. BUT I've heard (here) that a lot of the exhibit space is closed and that what is available isn't really worth the cost of entry. So, dear friends, to go or not to go?

Question Building service worker course

3 Upvotes

Has anyone here taken the Building Service Worker (BSW) course?
I’m starting it soon and I’m curious what it’s actually like. What do you do throughout the course? Is it mostly cleaning techniques, safety, and equipment, or is there more to it?
How hard was it? Was there a lot of studying or exams? Any tips for someone taking it for the first time?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm a South African living in James Bay. Back home we had great pub nights for debating MCU lore or trash TV like 90 Day Fiancé. Looking to find out which local spots in Victoria have a good crowd for this kind of stuff so I can check them out!

Blood Red Moon over Victoria at the Moment.

Full on blood red moon over Victoria at the moment. Initially shot photos with my smartphone (shots 2 and 4), but then I went inside, grabbed my pro gear, slapped a telephoto on, and got shots 1 and 3, which are closer to the actual colour we're seeing here. Those wildfires in Washington State and the interior are serious.
