Welcome to theV3H.com! I’m Jon, chief bottlewasher of this here blog-type site. I run it together with my wife Amber and our two children, although to be honest the children aren’t really pulling their weight. I guess that’s life with kids for you.

Why the name? It’s the postal code of Port Moody, Anmore, and Belcarra, BC. My family and I moved to the area in 2003, and we want to create a place online to find information and things to do in Port Moody and throughout the Tri-Cities.

Way back in the olden days, also known as the 1990’s, I worked in community TV when they still had small stations across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The best part about that job was all the cool and interesting people I came in contact with throughout the course of the day. Since we moved to the Tri-Cities I have really missed having that connection with the neat people who make your town home. With blogs and social media, you don’t need an expensive TV station anymore to connect and communicate. This is my way of getting to know all of you who make Port Moody and the Tri-Cities such a great place to live and raise a family.

So that’s the long way of saying we’re here to share information about people, places, and events; and connect with you.
