Hello Everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows if TPS will hire in 2019? Was told to re-apply in Dec. 2018 after being told that I won't be moving on from phase 1 in Dec. 2017. Really want to try again, but don't know if they will hire again or go on a hiring freeze again. The hiring is uncertain i...

For anyone who has applied recently and was successful through the process, what was your educational background? I am a current university student, I am wondering if this could possible impede my chances as I can imagine that I may be competing against university graduates. You're always competing...

Agreed. .. even though I've been doing that for several years lol!!

Some people (both parents and kids) just can't seem to cut the cord. Sad really We have first class constables still living with their parents. And they aren't embarassed about it. That's pathetic. If they're at their folks to save for a home, then I think its smart. With houses being at the prices...

LOL I know they dont compare to the mountains, Gunner!

Do you ride at any of the resort/bike parks in BC? (Whistler, Kicking Horse etc)

Im an avid rider. In the past year Ive become hooked to trail riding again. But after trying Downhill riding last week, no flat trail will ever compare to that rush! Now if I could only afford a downhill bike... *cough* Trek Session 88 or 9.9 *cough*.. And what a workout for the arms. I could hardly...
