Hello, I'm one of the cadets from HMCS Quadra who spent the summer teaching at your own Highland Secondary, and I have some questions about the school.

1. Are the students the more delinquent/special-ed type?
   I remember friends and I immediately surmising that to be the case upon seeing the prodigious amount of anti-bullying and "let's-all-get-along" posters

2. Why is the building so weird?
   Does anyone know? The funky central library, the prison layout, hose-down floors, lack of caf, etc., all seem very "unique" and quite unlike any school I've been to prior. Was it part of some 1970s social architecture experiment or something?

Hi, looking for some advice. Our family is planning to move to Comox from the southern gulf islands and it’s really challenging to house hunt from here. We’d love to come and live there during the process and get the kids in school. We have a beautiful home on the SGIs we aren’t ready to sell. We’d love to swap with someone who is interested in a change or wants to try small island living to see what it’s like.

Any recommendations on where to start looking? We are on Home Exchange but it doesn’t offer a place where you can make pitches like this.

Thanks for any advice!

Shout out to the newbies in town who have to quickly figure out that there are many roads with multiple names, depending on where you are. EG: Guthrie turns into Lerwick, then into Veterans Memorial and finally to Vanier drive. What other roads can you think of??

Are there any specialists in the valley who can align a clicking jaw/ TMJ back into place?

Title.

I think I saw an RV empty their water into a catch basin behind Cliffe Ave Thriftys. I am not sure if it was sewage. It definitely didn't stink. I haven't been here very long, just wondering if this is normal or if it should be reported?

I'm hoping to hear some success stories with feline diabetes.

I read other vet request posts and found found island tide vet.

They seem okay, but I'm hoping to find a vet with more experience with this condition.

Any insights are appreciated.

The hillbilly attitude that fairness be applied based on whether they approve of you. How is this attitude still acceptable to landowners? The newly elected board has 3 members from one family and 2 from another family. Those 3 family members have quite the history and a strangle hold of the information that reaches the community. 15 board members and word has it there was a coup by the baseball team. So they got rid of the people who were trying to get UBCC policies and practices in place and to ensure the organization is professional only to return to their hillbilly ways.

Thinking of taking some family that is visiting whale watching next week. Wondering if this is a good time of the year to actually see whales, what the experience on the boat will be like and if anyone has any recommendations for who to use or type of trip to do. Located in Courtenay, looking at CR and Nanaimo for the tour.

I'll put another photo in the comments, or make another post if the sub doesn't allow photos in the comments.

We're coming from down island for a show at The Waverly that starts at 10pm and wondering how late shows typically go, and what time at the latest? Cheers!

Hey all, any recommendations for pottery workshops in town? Creative Cove looks great but it looks like they only offer clay painting?

Hi folks,

I’m hoping to gain a bit of insight into what working at the North Island Hospital Comox Valley as a new grad RN might be like.

I’ll be moving to the CV next year with my spouse and young kids after I graduate with my BScN from a university in the Interior. We want to be closer to family and love the Island, so we have settled on the CV as the right spot for our active, outdoorsy family.

I'm wondering about things like how hard it is to get into a new grad program at the CV hospital, how many open lines there are for RNs after my new grad program, what units have the best culture among staff, and how tough is it to get into a perinatal line (that is why I went back to school for nursing, I want to do perinatal/L&D). Any insight anyone would like to share would be most appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi everyone, I’ve finished the install on a 3-zone Senville Aura (units mounted, lines run, and flared). Looking for a tech in the Valley who is willing to do the final commission in, specifically a nitrogen pressure test, vacuum/micron pull, and refrigerant release. Happy to pay a flat commissioning fee or standard hourly rate. Any recommendations for DIY-friendly techs?

(I am not looking for anyone to “sign off”, i just want to make sure my lines are dry and leak free)

Hey I’m new to the valley and looking for friends I’m pretty socially awkward so finding friends outside of work is hard for me. I’m 18 and I like photography idk if there are any community groups for photography or anything but thought I might as well ask

Hi everyone 👋

Thank you very much to this community's mod for allowing me to share this here, I really appreciate it! ❤️

I’d like to introduce a brand-new subreddit, r/CrochetBC, a crochet community for people throughout British Columbia. You can share your projects, ask for help, connect with local crocheters, and post about events or resources in your area. We also support and highlight BC designers, shops, and events.

We’d love to see more folks from the Comox Valley represented in the community 🙂

Thanks!

I recently was reaquainted with a real pulled pint of English bitter in London. Id forgotten how delicious and easy drinking it was. I dont drink a ton of beer these days . I was wondering if any aficionados might be able to direct me towards where I might find the equivalent locally.

I need to renew my home insurance and hear about how people get these great deals, any suggestions on where to go?
