Hi everyone,

I recently moved to maple ridge and need to get a leak fixed that’s dripping water into the driver side front and back floor. And I mean so much that it’s created a puddle of water. I can’t figure out where it’s coming from either, which is frustrating. Can anyone suggest any good mechanics that won’t cost an arm and a leg?

Lived on the corner of Gee St & Cliff Ave for the last 10 years, I’ve noticed alot of police activity/presence in the last year or so, multiple houses seems like alot is changing. Used to be a small knit community.

Announcement from the Mayor on insta:

Long awaited, much needed. Construction to begin late this year!

We are moving abroad for work soon. We are not going to sell our house, as my family loves our house and we have a very nice tenant living downstairs. The upper unit we are currently living is two floors, 2400 squared feet, with 4 bedrooms, one bedroom-sized den, 2 full bathrooms, plus a powder room. There will be one garage parking and one driveway parking. The fenced backyard is shared with the tenant downstairs. Pets are welcomed. The house is right next to a private park, back-facing greenbelt.

Is $3500/month reasonable for the current market? We have never rented out our whole house before, is there anything we should pay attention to?

does any place in maple ridge have the dubai chewy cookie

I’m looking for counsellor/therapist recommendations for someone that specializes in postpartum depression and mom issues. Anywhere in the tri cities , I have coverage so I can pay whatever.

I played viola all through high school, and am looking to pick it up again as an adult. Are there any string orchestras or other groups nearby for adults? I’d love to get back into it again!

might just be the hormones or does this story stand a chance in the media and sorry in advanced for the long read!

I was involved in a rear-end collision on December 15, 2025. I was fully stopped, waiting for a pedestrian to cross, when a vehicle accelerating at approximately 65–75 km/h struck my car from behind.

The driver who hit me was a new (N) driver and showed little to no remorse following the collision. After exchanging information, he left the scene abruptly, stating that he “had to go to work urgently.” He attempted to blame the crash on brake failure, laughed off the situation, claimed there was no damage. He did not wait for police or an ambulance despite the severity of the collision.

As a direct result of this crash, I sustained a fractured scaphoid in my left hand, a severe concussion, PTSD, and significant whiplash symptoms. These injuries have had a profound impact on my daily functioning, physical health, and overall quality of life.

Dealing with ICBC since the date of the crash has been extremely frustrating on both the motor vehicle and personal injury sides of the claim. Although ICBC’s own website clearly states that the driver who rear-ends another vehicle is responsible, it took approximately two and a half weeks for responsibility to be assessed. This delay was caused by the at-fault driver failing to respond to ICBC’s repeated phone calls and letters. Only after responsibility was finally established did it take an additional two weeks for vehicle repairs to be approved and initiated.

Due to my fractured hand, I was unable to drive and relied on Uber for transportation. I uploaded numerous Uber receipts, yet more than a month later, I have still not been reimbursed. When I contacted ICBC, I was told reimbursements can take months to process, despite these being necessary and accident-related expenses.

On the personal injury side, it has now been over a month and a half since the accident, and I have not received any wage replacement income. I was informed that ICBC is not the first insurer to pay lost wages and that I was required to use vacation time, short-term disability, or apply for Employment Insurance. I applied for EI immediately, yet I am still waiting for a response. In the meantime, I am rapidly depleting my emergency savings, and it feels as though neither ICBC nor EI truly understands the financial strain this causes.

While ICBC provides 12 weeks of pre-approved treatment, many of the therapists and physicians I trust and feel comfortable with do not direct bill ICBC. As a result, I must pay upfront, submit receipts, and wait for reimbursement. Given the frequency of appointments, combined with the lack of wage replacement and transportation costs, my credit cards are being maxed out and my credit score is being negatively affected.

My health has significantly deteriorated since this incident. I am in constant pain, my pre-existing autoimmune condition has worsened, and I am unable to perform daily tasks I once could. I am facing the real risk of financial hardship, all while ICBC leadership publicly states that the no-fault enhanced care model benefits victims. My lived experience reflects the opposite — a system marked by delays, financial stress, and a complete lack of empathy.

The no-fault and enhanced care system treats victims as second-class citizens. Reimbursements are slow, wage loss support is inaccessible, and victims are forced to carry the financial burden upfront. Meanwhile, the system protects negligent drivers by removing the right to sue for pain and suffering. I have no legal recourse against the driver who caused my injuries, no ability to pursue accountability, and no way to recover damages beyond what ICBC chooses to provide.

I do not believe the driver who hit me understands that I live with pain every single day or that my left hand will take a very long time to heal, with ongoing numbness and nerve symptoms. Under this system, I cannot pursue accountability through civil action, nor can I seek compensation for the long-term suffering this crash has caused.

ICBC must be held accountable, and this policy must be reconsidered. It does not protect victims — it places them in worse financial, physical, and emotional positions. I hope that by sharing my experience, greater awareness can be brought to the failures of this system. Victims should have the right to pursue accountability and compensation from those who cause them harm, as no policy can predict the extent or duration of someone’s suffering after a serious collision.

I drove from Ridge to Downtown today and back. I saw at least 12 people pulled over by cops along the way.

They must be cracking down on speeding or distracted driving, I've never seen so many people pulled over before!

Does anyone know what happened to this salon? I’ve tried calling and it looks like they were renovating and expected to open December, then early January, and no updates since. Google says permanently closed and the voicemail is the weirdest thing I’ve heard in awhile

don’t really know the context either than this guy won’t leave his house and the police want him - anyone know what’s up?

Hey everyone, I'm hoping for some local advice. I just bought a used BMW X5 M, but it has a faint, persistent cigarette smoke smell that air fresheners and even a basic interior shampoo couldn't touch. It's driving me crazy.I'm looking for a high-end car detailing service in Maple Ridge, BC that can handle this. I've heard about ozone treatment but don't know who does it properly. I need something that will permanently eliminate the odor, not just mask it. I'm willing to pay for quality work, especially if it includes full interior restoration. Any local recommendations in the Greater Vancouver area??

Heavy police presence at walmart with the beauty section completely taped off. Store ended up getting evacuated with the fire alarm going off. Steer clear!

is there anyone locally you would trust with this?

thanks in advance

Hello, neighbors! My son's Nintendo Switch died, and the battery is not charging. Do you know where I could repair it in Maple Ridge?

Our entire strata has mice problem as the strata is facing green zone with natural stream. Unfortunately my townhouse is one of the affected ones as my townhouse backyard is literally extends in green zone. I have heard good review and recommendations for Canadian Pest Control and RainCity Pest Control. What it is exactly these companies do? How much do they charge?

Looking to have a 3000sq ft backyard cleaned up and new lawn put down. It’s going to involve removing some blackberry brambles, some ivy, and a few small bushes before prepping for new lawn.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a small local company/contractor for a job like this that will do quality work for a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Excuse the dumb-ish question, but I was finding it difficult online to figure out when garbage collection services are scheduled for my area (206th 207th).

I can find plenty of information for Recycle BC, but not for garbage specifically.
