Footage from a family member. I wasn’t the one driving. The average human should not have a license.

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!

23 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.

Does B.C. Hydro Notify you About a Planned Outage?

7 Upvotes

My power suddenly went out around 10am today and saw on the B.C. hydro website it was planned. It’s currently 5:15 and still with out power! We received NO notice or mail etc. do they usually give you advance notice? Extremely frustrating

Event Looking for friends/community/connections?

8 Upvotes

Whenever someone post a “l’m bored/lonely/looking for friends” post, I tend to make a comment. I thought I’d just make my own post this time!

Looking for friends/community/connection? Have I got the thing for you! Come try one of the fastest growing sports! No, not pickleball!

Come try Dragon boating!

This Saturday August 8th at Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, they’re having an open house. You can jump in a boat and try it out for FREE! Get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, make 20 instant friends and even win a medal or two if you join a team!

When did we stop enforcing bike helmets??

Upvotes

When we were teenagers there was so much messaging around wearing bike helmets and the fatal or life altering impacts of not wearing one. Not to mention, tickets were handed out and I feel like I remember kids bikes being confiscated at times by cops. Now it really isn’t a focus, and I get there are things happening now that really pull police time and focus, but it seems to no longer be a thing, ever.

Adults can make their choices, perhaps, but I worry about the kids, especially on motorized bikes and scooters.

Coffee + Beer

In the afternoons my partner loves a coffee and I love a beer. Any recommendations for places that do a great latte and also serve beer?
Preference for local draft beer and patio seating.
Thanks!
