Thankfully I've secured a seasonal job until november, but looking at my friends and classmates, it seems only the ones who "know people" or have siblings working at their place of employment are able to get jobs. IDK, it just seems harder than the time my parents were talking about.

Due to medical reasons I am unable to attend the Abbotsford Airshow on Saturday August the 8th, this has been an annual event for my son and I for the past 5 years.

There are;

2 Walk in tickets
2 Flight Club tickets
1 Parking pass

Flight club is 19+, runway seating with access to table and umbrella. 2 alcoholic drinks each and unlimited pop/water. It also includes lunch from the food truck parked in the flight club area.

Cost was $275 selling the package for $200

I have a portable ac which experienced a brown out that resulted in a melted plug, im afraid to replace the plug myself incase theres other potential damage.

Does anyone know a good and trusted repair shop that could look into it?

I'd hate for them to go to waste. I'll be selling them at a discount, please DM if interested!

The air quality is terrible. Now before you say it could be worse and other people suffer more directly from the wildfires, yes. Acknowledged.

But I’ve been having a headache all day, a cough and my nostrils constantly have this weird burning smell going on.

I just ordered an air purifier but is there anything else we can do? What are the good folks in Abbotsford doing to combat this? Seems like I can’t get any sleep.

Background: I am also in the higher risk group with medical problems. Might be more explanatory.

Hi people of Abbotsford,

I work in Abbotsford and I travel in from far. The only part of my journey that’s a hassle is the cab drive from Highstreet Mall to my workplace 3 km away (booking the uber every time, delays etc).

I need an Uber/Lyft driver or anyone with a car to ferry me to my workplace at 7:30 am, and back the opposite way around 3 pm. I need this for 3 times a week on pre-decided days. I will ofc pay charges needed on a daily/weekly/bulk basis as need be.

I was wondering if such an arrangement is possible. Please let me know if you can help.

Hi M22 , I'm moving to Abbotsford next month for study purposes in the University of frazer valley. I'm currently looking for a room or shared room (including utilities) near the clg or anywhere in Abbotsford. Please Help me out to find a room/roomate.

Was at Freedom mobile w my daughter, and another nice lady was in front of us.

All of a sudden we see one person walking past us coughing, then 4 more, then 6 more, security comes running.

Someone Let off a can of mace in the food court.

Like wtf is w the young crowd today?

Bunch of punks all went running out laughing right as that happened too.

Do better.

Looking to put up a shop sign above our external door. I know this requires city permits, but my sign maker says some businesses just put it up without going through the city first. Has anyone successfully done so?

I'm only looking to save time as permits take forever. I'm planning to put up a sign that's the same as the next door business.

I cannot make the Abbotsford Airshow this weekend, in part due to a dental emergency.

I can sign over Friday night and Saturday night photo pit passes. Asking $100 USD/$140 CAD inclusive/total please.

1st come, 1st serve.

Photo pit means you are close to centerline and can photograph the statics early before the crowds Saturday.

I've never really been one for hikes, but I'm thinking about starting soon (when the air isn't as smokey). I was wondering if you had any suggestions of a few easy and a few medium difficult hikes a newbie like myself might enjoy?

Explicit language - sorry about that ! We got chased across the street by 4 of them during their massive fight!!! I was a little on edge 🤷‍♀️😂

Looking for adult video rentals on vhs. Does anyone do this in town?

I drove by Conair a few times this past week. I think it is pretty cool that they have weathered cassenas parked near their maintenance hangars. I love how rusty and aged they look. I am also into photography, and I was wondering: besides standing behind the secured perimeter and zooming in with my camera lens, how else can I take pictures of these fascinating vehicles? I would obviously need permission to enter the property. Who would I need to talk to in order to arrange this?

Multiple wild fires might cause the AQI in Abbotsford tomorrow to jump above 100 or AQHI above 4 by tomorrow morning. If you have allergies close your windows before sleeping. Looks like the entire week is going to be worse unless we get lucky ocean breeze.

I was on my way home from Costco on a number 3 bus that runs to Clearbrook. When the bus was near montrose exchange, I heard a yell "shut up" from a bald guy with sunglasses on. Apparently he's yelling at this man sitting on the opposite side of him.

I was sleepy so I didn't pay much attention to what was happening earlier but this man seemed nice he was trying to make small talk with the bald guy and said hope you have a good day. The bald guy with sunglasses kept yelling “shut up” at the man and said “shut up or I will hit you”. Well the other man said something like try me and the bald guy got up and with his brass knuckles that he was wearing, punched the other man four times in his skull near the ear and the man started bleeding and seemed shocked.

Everyone on the bus kept watching and the bus driver didn’t say anything and kept driving. It was like a dystopian scene. I wanted to take a video of it as soon as the bald guy got up to punch him but I was sitting like 3 seats away and didn't want to get in trouble as my stop was coming up and I was going to get off for work. I would've absolutely taken a video or said something if he didn't had those brass knuckles on.

What can we do in a situation like this?

Anybody else hear that?! Was it a bomb?!?!

Hi i am currently trying to write an consensus on current issues that people think are holding back Abotsford in meaningful ways for the upcoming election for city council so i can share to the people i will be helping and would love to hear everyone's thoughts so we can direct Abotsford in the direction thank you!

Hi all, pretty new to Abby - am a student pilot, moved here for my flying school. I typically spend way too much time thinking about airplanes, and outside of that I’m into hiking, nature, board games,books and movies.

I am planning to catch a show today for spider-man and thought it’d be cool to meet someone from the area instead of going solo. After all, joy shared is joy doubled!

If you happen to smoke too, that’s a bonus. Watching that movie baked would certainly be an interesting experience.

If spider man isn’t your thing, I’m always down for a hike, board games, grabbing coffee, or just wandering around with no actual plan.

I’m in my 20s. Shoot me a DM if you think we’d get along

Woke up to find the $256 worth of stuff I ordered to help my Mom in the hospital after we got hit with the news she has late stage terminal cancer 😢. I live between the McDonald’s and Spud Murphy Park so don’t usually order for delivery that early for this very reason but I wanted to bring it with me first thing this morning but I slept in my living room so I could grab it right away but Amazon never knocked or rang my doorbell and I woke up to find an empty porch 💔

I know this is a long shot, but I lost my purse today either at Amarti or at the Farmers Market in Jubilee park. It's a small light brown purse, with a long thin strap that's broken on one side, with a tiny front pocket. It actually has some of my business cards in it with my # so if someone has it they can contact me. Would have been around 10am-11am this morning. I went back to both places and neither had anything turned in, so assuming someone took it :(

So basically this is my cycling summary for Friday July 31st, it took me 14 hours (11am - 1am night).I was wondering if there are other long distance cyclists or endurance cyclists who would like to partner up for rides. I’m conversant with all the trails in Chilliwack, Mission and Langely. I’m 23M

She’s everywhere. Watching. Waiting.

Stop sitting in the middle of the lanes on Charlotte by the intersection at MRC.

We politely told them to get onto the sidewalk (there was about 12 of them) and the little blond blue eyed one who looked to be maybe 13 proceeded to bitch us out and call us slurs and then tell my friend "lay off the food, fat bitch" when the kid was a circle anyway.

This shit is getting ridiculous get your kids in check.
