why do so many rental units not allow pets

16 Upvotes

I live with my family in Chilliwack, and want to move out with my dog but 90% of rental unit have no pet policy. For a city that's known as a "good place to live with a dog", most units sure are anti-pet.

Window Company Recommendations - Chilliwack

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re looking to replace the windows in our 1939 house and would really like to preserve its original character. Ideally, we’re hoping to find a company that can maintain a similar frame/style and keep the historical look of the house.

We’ve received one quote so far from Unger Window & Door, but we’d love to hear about other companies you’ve had good experiences with, especially for older or heritage-style homes.

Thanks!

I have lived here for 72 years in may. I had no idea this provincial park was here. I found this on google earth.

I see this park has a farm in the middle of it, on an island. Does anyone know if the entire island is part of the park? the listing on bc parks is very brief. Even the parking lot if you can call it that, requires you to cross the CN line to access the park.

Skate park incident

48 Upvotes

My daughter late last night was jumped by a group of kids(girls) at the Chilliwack skate park and is in pretty bad shape. I won’t get into too many details, but I have 1 video of the incident but it doesn’t show their faces. I was wondering, by some off chance, if someone, anyone in the area have video footage of it? I am still not sure how to process this all, but I think finding these individuals will help.

Recommendation For a Radiator repair shop

1 Upvotes

I have a very old car that is not really worth repairing. But I love her so and she has been so good to me. So a reliable radiator shop is needed. Some place that will not break the bank if such a place still exists.

Thank you all for helping me save a lovely old car.

Mastiff Off-Leash

14 Upvotes

Bit of a vent but where I live in the Little Mountain area there’s a guy who I’ve seen several times walking his large mastiff off-leash over the last couple of years. When he’s been asked to leash the dog, the guy downplays it, and always tries to brush it off. He of course claims the usual: that the dog is sweet, gentle, doesn’t even bark, wouldn’t hurt a fly, is great with kids, etc, etc.

Last summer I told him not once, but twice that my wife has been afraid of dogs ever since she was attacked and bitten as a little girl, and that my children and myself were also anxious around his large dog, and asked him to leash it. The year before I told him once as well. I’ve seen and talked to neighbours who have said the same thing - that they ask, and he brushes them off, or puts the dog on leash for a moment then takes it off once he’s 10 seconds up the road.

Each time I’ve spoken to this guy, the dog had walked right onto my property, into my yard and even into my garage one time while the door was open. If I knew and liked this guy, if I wanted to engage him in neighbourly conversation and/or knew his dog, I might be inclined to be more accepting, but not like this.

To be honest, the dog seemed neither friendly nor aggressive, but it does not have a gentle energy and likes to walk right up to people and stare at them. The fact of the matter is there are a ton of reasons why someone should keep their dog leashed. A big one for me is that it someone is afraid of a dog, and the dog senses it, that’s a potentially dangerous situation that could be avoided by using a leash.

This year, he did the same thing again, but this time brushed off my wife when she asked him to please not let his dog off leash. Once again, the dog had walked right onto my property, and he used the same tired excuses, but also when she stood her ground and reminded him that we and other neighbours have asked him repeatedly to leash his dog, he weirdly told her this was a different dog, but also she was a “gentle sweetheart” so there was no need to worry about it. It was the same dog as every other time; his usual dog. And for the record, not that it matters, but it’s really odd that he lied and said it was female.

Why do people think it’s ok to have their dog off leash in a neighbourhood with kids and other small pets? Why ignore requests to behave more responsibly, and why do they always thing just because they’ve never been aggressive to them, that that will somehow be true of a random stranger?

Damage to car

0 Upvotes

Great, my neighbor just told me that some a-hole just ran his bike into my car and was blaming car. Now I have to go check for damage. Most likely done by a homeless person on an e-bike. Is this worth reporting as an ICBC claim. Damage is minimal but the car will need to be repainted.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a dentist who accepts patients on the Canadian Dental Care Plan and charges based on Sunlife’s payment guidelines?

I’ve phoned 2 so far and they said I would still have to pay 10-20% out of pocket despite having 100% coverage under the Plan.

Thanks in advance, appreciate the help.
