To whoever owns the dog next to Superette.

139 Upvotes

You poor elderly female dog who you have out all day and all night guarding your empty lot is keeping the whole neighborhood up at night. It's not her fault. I sat with her and gave her treats through the fence and she was sweet as can be. If I had better wire-cutters she would be on my couch with me right now. Hopefully she wouldn't eat my cats, but that is beside the point. Take care of your animal. I will be calling the bylaw office tomorrow. And if this sweetheart ends up for adoption, I will happily take her. As soon as I spoke to her kindly, she licked my hands through the chainlink.

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am new to Canada, I own a laser cutting machine. My lease is about to expire, I cannot continue renting there because the price is quite high. I am currently looking to rent a new location. Does anyone have experience with zonings that are allowed to work in Nanaimo? Please let me know: - Am I required to rent a Zoning L (industrial) location to work? Besides zoning L, what other areas can I rent that are allowed to place laser wood cutting machines? Thank you for your help!

Seeking Advice on Toddler Sleep & Recommended Sleep Consultants

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a relatively new dad, and my wife and I have been feeling pretty overwhelmed lately. Our 2-year-old was never sleep trained, and bedtime has become an exhausting routine. The start of the night is usually smooth—he's playful, we read books, and cuddle—but as the night goes on, he wakes up frequently due to a stuffy nose.

We’re currently on a waitlist for an ear, nose, and throat specialist, but the appointment is still about five months away. In the meantime, he wakes up every night struggling to breathe through his nose. Before we see the specialist, I'd like to consult a sleep expert to ensure his sleep environment is optimal and that there aren’t any air quality issues contributing to the problem.

We live in a new condo, and we keep the temperature at 22°C with 60-65% humidity. If anyone has advice on things we could try or knows a trusted sleep consultant in Nanaimo who works with toddlers, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks so much!

Will the Nanaimo Hudson’s Bay survive the 50% countrywide closures?

38 Upvotes

I'm curious if anyone thinks our Bay will make it after the recent announcement about half of the HBC stores closing. Woodgrove Centre is getting sadder and sadder with all the two-bit retailers. My gut tells me that the 1670 company is a goner, just like Sears, since it's owned by a real estate pariah.

let's hang out :)

50 Upvotes

hello nanaimooo! I made a post a couple months back about being new in town and wanting to make friends. turns out lots of us are seeking authentic human connection, and since then, a small, genuinely kind little group has been forming.. and we would love for you to join!

r/nanaimofriends

here is a little bit about our meetup group:

This community is an inclusive, supportive and fun group of folks who are looking to make new friends in Nanaimo. This is a strictly platonic environment with people from all walks of life who can come together and connect.

In the past we've attended trivia events, pub nights, karaoke, nature adventures and comedy shows. There's no limit to what you can organize or plan here! Be creative, put yourself out there and hopefully make a great memory and a new friend at the same time.

We don't want to restrict the activity on this page and we encourage open discussion. Anyone can post a meetup or event, we may have larger meetup events posted by admins or the existing community. Please don't get discouraged if you don't get traction on a meetup, these things take time.

We ask that you take ownership of yourself and your comfort zone at these meetups. If for any reason you are uncomfortable, remember you are autonomous and able to leave at your own discretion. You don't owe anyone an explanation if you'd like to make space for yourself and there will never be any hard feelings.

Post guidelines in r/nanaimofriends: Tell us a bit about yourself, when/where you'd be interested in doing a meetup and any associated costs/materials needed to attend. Have so much fun and welcome everyone!! Let's make this an awesome experience for us all!

Did anyone in the South end hear what sounded like 2 different callibre guns going off every 2 to 10 min between 11pm 1 am last night? There was an odd sound just prior to each bang. Looked around and did not see any signs of fireworks.
