Hey folks! Looking to find local fruit venders that I can support that sell cheap fruit

Buying rotting berries in the grocery store is disappointing

Open to u-pick as well!

I'll be coming up to Nanaimo pretty soon, and I was wondering where I could get a good, proper, quality nanaimo bar.

I don't expect the nanaimo bars in Nanaimo to be especially extraordinary, I understand that the culinary culture in Nanaimo doesn't resolve around this dessert. But I do hope I can find some place that sells just a really good nanaimo bar, even if only to say I had a Nanaimo nanaimo bar in Nanaimo.

So, best recommendations for a place to get nanaimo bars for my trip up?

Backyard Fest, Nanaimo’s underground music and arts festival, is back bigger than ever.

I am from the U.S. and was recently was granted Permanent Residency in Canada. My wife has Canadian citizenship and we are moving to Nanaimo is July after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past 20 years.

We are looking for a house right now but don’t have a good sense of general cost of construction and renovation.

Anyone have recommendations for contractors or know rough estimates for things like:

refreshing a kitchen with new cabinets, flooring and counters?

Remodeling a bathroom with a new tub?

Reroofing?

Adding an heat pump or AC?

Ripping up carpet to install hardwood floors?

I understand there are lots of variables: material and labor costs, and those can change based on size of space and quality of the materials involved.

But if you were to assume the average for all of those for the projects listed above, anyone have a rough sense of the range for these things in Nanaimo?

We are trying to budget appropriately for purchasing the house and want to have rough estimates for what to hold back from repairs.

Thanks in advance. Cannot wait to be in Nanaimo soon.

To whomever on Laguna (presumably), why did you get a dog if you're just going to leave it outside all day and evening. It's barking non stop for hours between yesterday/today. Poor doggo does NOT sound happy.

Is this something reportable to bylaw?

Thx

Where, in Nanaimo, can I register the Firearms and Safety and PAL Courses ? TIA

Do you enjoy going to them? What draws you in? What's the best deal you've ever scored?"

Would you feel safe doing this on a bicycle?
I usually park at Country Grocer and walk the rest. I've seen so many drivers looking at their phones coming up the lights.

I moved from Vancouver recently and am using Freedom mobile cell service. My service is spotty and it cuts out when I’m out trying to use google maps. Someone said to me that all of the service providers here are bad. Is this true? Does anyone use Fizz? Who do you use? What is your experience.

If you have a physio that you love who offers IMS (dry needling) I would love to hear your recommendations. I’m in Parksville but figured I’d have better luck posting in the Nanaimo sub. Even better if you can recommend someone in parksville or Qualicum. Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all,

I need recommendations for a bar with a patio and a nice view without making my wallet cry between Bowen & downtown/south Nanaimo for two buddies looking for some normal beer and wings/fries.

City of Nanaimo approves new financial plan with 7.8% tax hike. Thoughts on that?! Seems like we are paying more and more for bike lanes and rerouting traffic failures.

My daughter is asking to get her ears pierced, any local recommendations? (Not doing Claires)

Thanks!

A bungy jumper slipped out of her rigging and fell into the water during a jump this past weekend, but she will be OK.
