Ask Coquitlam I need a dentist!

5 Upvotes

I need suggestions for dentists in the tri city area that accept CDCP without all the extra charges. The dentists I've contacted all want $250+ out of pocket for a checkup/cleaning (based on 100% coverage) and I just cannot afford that for two kids, plus myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PSA No Pedestrian Directions on the closed Dewdney Trunk Rd

11 Upvotes

There is limited signage for pedestrians on the ongoing construction happening on Dewdney Trunk Rd between Cawthra Court and Pier Drive. The project details online mentions pedestrians will be routed via Dolphin street and Mariner way, but there is no such signage. All it says is No entry and that too for Cars, so side walk is not blocked and suddenly when you are too far, you have to turn around. So just beware as this is going to be around for next 4 months. Already complained to the city Engineer, hope they get the signs up soon.

Ask Coquitlam Best TriCities Korean Restaurants for Broths/Soups (Guk & Tang)

24 Upvotes

Hi all, I went to South Korea last month and was amazed by the variety of different dishes and styles available throughout the country. One of my favourites I encountered were the various types of light broths and soups that they had available; particularly the lighter Guk and Tang style ones (vs the thicker jjigae and jeongol).

With the weather cooling down, I am looking for any recommendations for local spots that do this style particularly well. Some of the ones I particularly enjoy are: Dookbaeki, Tangmaru, and Kang's Kitchen.

If there are any other favs of this style, please share!

From the article: Elbit is Israel’s largest arms company and plays a key role in arming the Israeli military, which is widely accused of committing a genocide in Gaza.
Elbit’s products are integrated into a variety of Israeli warships and other naval vessels. Israel’s naval forces play a key role in maintaining Israel’s maritime blockade of Gaza and have intercepted multiple humanitarian aid flotillas bound for the besieged enclave.

ELBIT OUT OF CANADA.

Shame on us for even allowing this, it should be illegal.

Ask Coquitlam Which cellular provider has the best reception in Coquitlam?

11 Upvotes

I’m on public mobile and my signal is pretty bad in a lot of places like the Lafarge area, the community centres, various parks, and even around Port Moody. For example, I’m barely getting a signal at Lincoln Station. Wondering if it’s just me. And if not, which provider should I switch to for better signals.

Ask Coquitlam Looking for 1 on 1 Mandarin classes. Taiwanese preferred though not required

17 Upvotes

Hi! I've been dating a Taiwanese girl for a few months, and I have really enjoyed learning Mandarin with her. I feel I'm reaching the limits of my own time management and app-driven learning with my available time. I want to surprise her or her family with some conversational Mandarin. Expecting to travel there late June.

I live next to Lincoln station. Would prefer at home, happy to use the library next door as well.

I'm looking for 2hrs, 3x/wk. I was an English teacher for several years back in my home country, and I prefer a conversational approach to language learning.

I'd rather work directly with someone rather than through an agency or company. I definitely want to learn written alongside spoken, but I also don't need a super experienced or structured format. Happy to help structure things if person's not too experienced.

What I do know is I won't be great at homework. I'll practice on days with no class and watch videos, etc. But I know my work is too demanding for me to take time off unless I have a scheduled block, so homework is unlikely to be completed.

EDIT: I should clarify. I want to learn leaning on Zhuyin and Traditional characters. I also would prefer to chat in Taiwanese dialect

Any help appreciated.u

Ask Coquitlam If Anmore’s priorities conflict with Burke Mountain’s, which community gets Ryan Peterson’s support? Peterson fought to preserve Anmore’s “rural charm” while acting as a public spokesperson for the Anmore Neighbours Community Association. Now he wants to represent burke mountain?

Post image
47 Upvotes

Was looking into the MLA candidates tonight and found it interesting that Ryan Peterson, Bc Conservative MLA candidate running in Coquitlam–Burke Mountain, has been involved with the Anmore Neighbours Community Association (ANCA), which opposed the Anmore South development.

- Is the plan for Burke Mountain to keep accommodating population growth so Anmore doesn’t have to?

- Coquitlam’s schools and infrastructure are already struggling to keep up. Are we volunteering to take on even more?

-Should provincial taxpayers fund Anmore’s infrastructure while it limits the development that could help pay for it?

We have a large family, but none of us live in a place large enough to accommodate everyone. So considering a dinner out instead.

We’re also considering renting a room somewhere and then bringing food, but dinner out felt like a simpler option to explore first.

Discussion The Conservative candidate in Burke Mountain apparently owns a house everywhere but Coquitlam (from BC Assessment)

Thumbnail gallery
511 Upvotes

Ryan Peterson and his wife own 7 properties worth $22 million, including most of a private island... but none in Coquitlam.

Why is he running in Burke Mountain and not one of these other places where he apparently spend his time? Was it just the only spot for the Conservatives to run their rich guy?

I get that people often run in ridings they don't live in, but usually live nearby in the same community, or have some kind of connection like working there, they grew up there, etc.

This is all sourced from easily accessibly public info (mostly BC Assessment), with addresses redacted for privacy.
