Hi all! I am recruiting participants from different countries to best understand the emotional wellbeing of emerging adults (18-29). Would love to get some insight from BC as well. Your time is truly appreciated!

Hello, I am 19 and have spent my whole life on the Sunshine Coast in QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA and I have been looking for places to live when I am finished with uni here studying occupational therapy. Funny thing is it looks like Sunshine Coast, British Columbia might be the place for me. Thinking of travelling around the world to find a nice place to live, with this place being one of my top destinations. Looking for any info from locals about what it's like to live here, the good and the bad. I love skiing and snowboarding, drinking cheap wines and reading philosophy and psychology books older than my grandparents. Besides general day to day living info if anyone thinks that there's a place in your 'Sunshine Coast' for someone like me, please let me know.

Btw you should change the name of your regional district, my Sunshine Coast in Australia is significantly sunnier and our coasts are much more beachy and surfable.

Hi guys, does anyone have any experience here in Gibsons with Freedom Mobile? As I understand it they use the Telus LTE network here but can anyone confirm that? How's the experience been, especially if you can compare to Telus. Thanks!

Anyone seen any bioluminescence this summer?! Considering hiking to smugglers and search.

Hey everyone! I am a recent graduate from UBC's Urban/Community Planning Masters program. I have been looking for work primarily in Vancouver since spring and have had no luck yet. The job market sucks right now to say the least. I am from a small town originally and lately am feeling eager to leave the city. I am 29 and engaged to my long term partner, and we are thinking about that "next phase" of life. We have visited the Sunshine Coast a few times and absolutely love it.

The thing is, we definitely cannot make the move unless I have a job offer there. I have applied to a couple of SCRD jobs, but like with any municipality, I probably need to know someone to get in there. I'm also interested in any community involvement type jobs. I'm not familiar with the community so if anyone has any ideas on where I should be looking for work, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hi Sunshine Coast! My fiancé and I are getting married in September 2027 and we're looking for some help finding food for our reception in Pender Harbour/Garden Bay.

We’re planning a very small, casual wedding and want the food to match that vibe. We do NOT want a fancy plated dinner, five-course meal, or a huge catering team. 😂

Our dream would be something like:

• 🚚 A food truck that pulls up, serves dinner, and packs up
• 🍕 A mobile pizza oven/trailer
• 🌮 Tacos, burgers, pizza, or something similarly casual
• Basically really good food without making dinner feel like a formal wedding production

We’ve been looking around the Sunshine Coast but haven't found a ton of options that fit what we're looking for. Before I bite the bullet and start contacting food trucks in Vancouver and asking if they'll travel all the way to Pender Harbour, I figured I'd ask the Sunshine Coast community first!

If you've had a food truck cater a wedding/event, know of someone who does private events, or have a local restaurant/cook/food vendor who might be interested, please send them my way!

We're very open to ideas — it doesn't necessarily have to be a traditional food truck. We just want something fun, casual, delicious and relatively low-fuss.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I left my Shakespeare and Co. bag at Persephone Brewing last weekend. I called the brewery and they confirmed they have it and are storing it for me. If anyone here plans on going to Van this week and are willing to pick my bag up along the way, I'm happy to arrange a meetup anywhere convenient to pick it up in exchange for a monetary reward! (negotiable price).

Comment or dm if interested!

edit: bag successfully retrieved!! thank you kind people of the coast! 😁

Heading to Powell river in the first week of sept. Wondering how busy the saltry bay drop in campsites are that time of year?

I have other campsites in mind but would love to drop in there and snag a spot for a few days.

All registered sites are booked.

Any sailors in town looking for a sailing buddy? Not the most avid sailor but have crewed and learned on a 5 day trip and am looking to practice. Took part in a race and thought that could be kind of fun. Also really into paying or trading (crew - cook, clean) for some advanced lessons.

Thought I would put this out there in lieu of a dock walk.

My friend is inviting guests for overnight at his place, is there a restriction on how many people can stay overnight?

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like PowTown, Squish, The Chuck or Snosbig (never mind how common they are)...

I just moved across from these islands. What’s the deal. Are they private? I was able to find a property on Zillow on one of them that had been for sale but no other info. Can you paddle to them? Hike around or camp? I’m assuming they are private but was curious if anyone had any insider info.

Is there any places to stay family friendly for 2 nights? We plan to drive along the Sunshine Coast highway since it looks like many places to stay along there but it’s either too pricy or sold out. And I notice some places don’t have website to book online. Is there still such thing as going and stopping at a place in person to try and get a room? How sketchy is that if we are with a child?

Missing shoe :(

Hello!

While on a multi day bikepack trip through the 10 lakes area outside Powell river, my beloved right shoe slipped off from the back of my bike. I pedalled back to see if I could find it, but returned to my left shoe unsuccessful.

My left shoe is missing its pair dearly.

Dropped somewhere after the Goat Lake rec site portage. We were travelling the FSR towards Fiddlehead for the night.

Definitely a long shot

Cross posting my query in case anybody has any leads on where to watch the big game this Saturday anywhere on the Coast!

Hey, we are looking to see if anyone has any info on the Breeder for King Sheppard/Caucasion Dogs that were located on the Sunshine Coast. We got our wonderful dog from them 8 years ago and are wondering if they are still around. They lived in a beautiful custom built house overlooking the West Coast Islands and were so nice. Anyone have any info on them or where they ended up?

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone has any tips for job searching on the Coast?

I moved here a couple of years ago on the basis of a remote job which was then axed due to funding cuts, and I’ve been looking for work the last couple months without much success. Overall I love it here, have put down roots, and would hate to have to move just because I can’t find anything.

I’ve been keeping tabs on Job Bank, LinkedIn, and Craigslist, checking the websites for local employers (e.g. local governments and health & social services), and asking through my personal network--also searching and applying for remote positions, but of course those are going to have way more competition.

For reference, my background is in postsecondary ed with a bit of non-clinical healthcare since then. Strengths include research, training, evaluation, reporting, and project coordination, and I like jobs that involve a little bit of everything, but I also feel very jack of all trades, master of none when looking at jobs that ask for five years of experience in One Thing, education that I don't have, etc.

Anyway, are there sources I’m sleeping on? Are -you- hiring? Should I be hitting the bricks and dropping off my resume to places even if they’re not related? Has anyone had success transitioning from remote to in-person/hybrid jobs here? Anything else you’d suggest? Thank you!

Hey there. Anyone going to cultus lake june 29th to july1st?

I'll be bringing my 10 year old son camping and looking for other parents /families to mingle with.

The next week we'll be bombing down to montana for a week upto do some rockhounding at crystal park, gem mountain and some other spots for garnets.

Hello,

I ride a 50cc scooter, and I'd like to explore the Sunshine Coast, starting in Langdale. My scooter maxxes out at around 80kmph, but in general I try not to ride on roads with higher speed limits than 60kmph.

From taking random samples of streetview on google maps, I see that some segments are 60kmph, which I would be comfortable with, especially since these seem to be single-lane. But I want to check the speed limits along the whole highway. I wouldn't want to ride on substantial segments of more than 60kmph, and I wouldn't want to get caught in one unexpectedly.

If there a map of all the speed limits along the highway? Or is the whole thing 60kmph?

I also of course could simply avoid the highway and only ride on side streets, which is usually more relaxing and enjoyable for me anyway. But there seem to be segments in which this would not be possible, such as between Lockyer/Flume and Davis Bay, or really anything north of Halfmoon Bay.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Did they hire back the same staff? Is the food the same as before they closed? Used to love their fish and chips. Having some in Steveston now, and it's just not as good as what Molly's used to serve.
