Tomorrow (February 12th) has been designated a Day of Mourning across the province of British Columbia, to mark the tragedy at Tumbler Ridge, to remember the victims, and to support the community in its grief.
	
The Legislature will be marking a Moment of Silence at noon; we encourage people and organizations across the City to join in that marking of silence, and reflect in the way that is appropriate for you and those close to you.

New Westminster is a connected community, and we know that grief shared is a lighter burden to carry. If you feel the need to be with community, to come together and share at this time, we encourage community members to gather at the front steps at City Hall at 6pm on February 12th for a candlelight vigil. All are welcome. There will be no formal ceremony, only an opportunity to be together, support one another, and to send our community’s love north to the people of Tumbler Ridge.

Hold those you love close to you tomorrow, and hold your heart open for those you don’t yet know. That is where the light is found during dark times.

Hey #NewWest, we have heard that people might want to gather tomorrow to lean on each other on the provincial Day of Mourning. All are invited to City Hall at 6pm tomorrow for a candlelight vigil. No agenda, no speeches, just community.

3 years experience in being a Trolley Overhead Engineer? How do you get that?

Prism and Lee Aaron was fun, too.

There used to be a piano at River Market

I have no experience with stratas where there are only a handful of units. I wonder how well they operate.

He is probably an outlier, but I have a friend who moved from NW to Pitt Meadows and he doesn't drive. He loves it. We meet up for drinks in Port Moody occasionally - we both take transit home and he usually gets home quicker than I do.

All of the top 4 have heavy traffic.

Brilliant. Seems like many pubs are struggling to survive but this one has a formula that works well.

The ownership might have changed again. To whom I don’t know, but will report back if I find out.

$60k is still too much to pay for a car in my opinion.

Sounds like fun. What’s it like running a pub?

Allegedly Saran left in 2015 and the meat slicer incident was in 2017. Not sure who was manager then.

The rebate is $21k which brings it from $80ish to $60ish

You have small car parking spaces at TACC, which is great, but oversized vehicles like you speak of can fit in them and they do, with no penalty. What can be done to enforce their proper use and encourage smaller vehicles?

There's a hell of a rebate on the Buzz right now. Having said that, they priced it way too high to start with.

You have a point. I noticed drivers have a tendency to shoot straight through that one.

Back in my youth, scheduled activities were rare. Kids played in the back lane. That solved the driving problem.

You can end trip on a meter with an Evo in Vancouver, Burnaby or North Van, which solves your previous parking problem. Don't try it in New West though - my neighbour did and got a ticket!

Wouldn't mind a short break in Wales right now, but can't afford one!

The current owner started putting on regular live shows about 3 years ago, probably around the time you left.

Bully's is a fantastic place to see a live show. Right in the heart of New West. It would be great to see some of you there.

Totally. I like your designs but I'm surprised you haven't been cancelled yet!

Move to NW, you won't have to worry about saving!

I think both mil rates / yearly assessments and historical bands both have their pros and cons. If you make it to NW, put the discussion on the agenda.
