I have a confession: I avoid buying gas in Coquitlam. I’ve lived in the city for over eight years now, and whenever possible I fuel up in Port Moody. I do this because I prefer to pump my own gas. It’s faster, and when I have to get out of my car anyway to type… [Continue Reading]
It’s by-election time! We think! Soon! Who knows. Anyhoo, Ex-Mayor Joe Trasolini is making the Murray-Clarke connector a cornerstone of his campaign.

I’m trying to do this links post sitting in the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Unfortunately my wireless modem is not exactly the swiftest, so trying to load web pages is a little difficult. So this will be a short version of the links. Last week we talked about the firehall referendum coming up this… [Continue Reading]

They have displays about local parks and an Antique Appraisal coming up this Sunday. We at The V3H have had a hand in bringing… [Continue Reading]
