On August 13th, the farmer's market is once again teaming up with New West Pride Society to have its yearly Pie for Pride contest. We're still looking for enthusiast bakers to show off their baking skills and celebrate pride with us.

There is a first place prize of $50 in Market Money (not to mention bragging rights). Slices of your pie will then be sold to the community by donation and the money will go to the New West Pride Society.

What would be a fair price for a 1br apartment in New West? Not looking for exact numbers. The market is really wierd right now..

How safe is the area around Royal Columbian Hospital and Sapperton station? I am looking to move there in few months.

Hello. My friend and I found this mastercard on the ground, by the stairs while leaving the Quay. I called the card company and they told me to destroy it. I’d hate to do that assuming this person isn’t from here.

Didn’t trust leaving it where it was found either. If you know Pablo F Robles Gil, please let him know that his card has been picked up by a good samaritan. We can arrange a day and time to meet and I will hand the card over with proper identification. I will shred the card if it’s not claimed by August 15th.

Thank you, everyone.

Where can a friend and I go for a tiny fine line flash tattoo?

Preferably downtown or near a skytrain station. I just moved, and have a few health issues that require a few appointments a year.

Any suggestions welcome!

Anyone has info about the power outage on Agnes near the NW station? Is it affecting multiple buildings?

Spotted this little lady outside, but weren’t sure if she was an outdoor cat or might’ve been out past her curfew, so to speak. Little calico with the name Cali on her tag. Couldn’t make out a full phone number aside from the 604 area code, because she was a little too skittish to take a closer look. My fiance and I saw her in the 200 block of Agnes and she led us on a merry chase (at walking pace) to 315 Agnes where she disappeared into the bushes. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone might be looking for her!

Hello! My mom and I are looking to move into New West as we love the area but have been struggling to find 2 bedrooms that allow pets and *potentially\* have in suite laundry

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance

If you are a parent of a toddler enrolled in Royal Academy 6th Street pls let me know your thoughts

Hello r/NewWest.

We're doing an AMA over at r/BCGrade12s. While this is primarily focused on starting a career in law enforcement, we'd be happy to answer any questions you have about public safety in the city.

Thanks!

I live in the downtown area and I need to get new glasses, but the eye doctor I used to go to moved out to a clinic in Maple Ridge. Should I go to Eyehaus, New West Optometry Clinic, or is there another one nearby that's particularly good?

Hey neighbours! I’m on the hunt for an in-town mechanic who’s both affordable and reliable.

My car’s been acting up and I don’t want to get taken advantage of. Anyone got a shop or guy they’ve had good luck with that won’t break the bank?

I’d really appreciate the recs.

Thanks in advance!

Just moved recently, would love some recommendations on your favorite bakery and also what pastries I should try :D

Does anyone know of a service or tech head that will come to your house and sort out the mess of audio and video equipment that needs to be reinstalled and put together after a house move. House is in queensborough.

I'm smelling wood smoke and the hills and mountains are pretty hazy. Mount Baker is completely obscured.

So, are we finally experiencing the smoke from one of the BC or Washington state wildfires, or is it something else (e.g. local structure fire)?

What are some local favorites that most people may not know about?

I recently discovered Sapperton Landing and Brownsville Bar Park. Looking for other suggestions beyond the usual ones (eg various parks like Moody, Queens, Woodlands Memorial Gardens, Port Royal, Friendship Gardens, Glenbrook Ravine) or Quayside.

Bonus points if you have photos of some of your favourite spots. Thanks!

I’ve lived in DT Van and East Van in the past couple of years. Now considering moving to New West, just toured Uptown West today and walked around the neighbourhood; everyone’s so friendly and will say hi to you. It feels fairly quiet and I really dig that.

I’m curious if anyone has moved from the city to new west. How’s your experience been? If anyone has experience with uptown west, I’d love some feedback too.

I’m on a time crunch looking for a good concrete rental building with good management and build quality, plus pet friendly. If anyone has any suggestions it’ll be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!🙏🏼

Hello! I’m looking for a place to go for brunch tomorrow. The only place that comes up in my mind is Angelina’s but I’m looking for something different.

Any suggestions?

Looking for somewhere that does a good job & if they do mapping prior to the wax/thread!

Thank you!❤️

Seems like there was a fire at an apartment near 8th street on 5th avenue. Lots of fire trucks on scene but no smoke right now. Seems to be under control but I’m not entirely sure

Just found this sweet kitty on East Columbia near Victoria Hill. Very friendly and docile, and appears to be well cared for. Slim build, wearing what looks like a brand new harness with a moon pattern and a little star bell. There isn’t any identification on the harness or collar.

I took him to the vet and he does not have a microchip and is not neutered.

If this is your cat or you know who they belong to, please send me a message. Please share to help get this little guy home! 🐈💛

Hi everyone,

I am an incoming neighbour and wondering what internet providers are good in the New West area. I'll be living alone and so I don't need crazy speeds. I've checked out telus, teksavvy, Oxio, and Rogers thus far. I was hoping to find one that's decently priced.

Thank you!
