For you, now, that is 7.30, 10.00 and 12.30 which is okay too.
Midweek games 4.00pm and 3.00pm.

In BC you're looking at 4.30am, 7.00 and 9.30 Saturdays and 12.00 midday. Not great times for the weekend, or even midweek if you're working.

Trivial, perhaps, but if you're football mad....
Don't they have "time shift" on BC television?

Not for the channels that the football is on.

Of course there are other ways to watch later, if you don't mind the fact that it's already taken place and you avoid knowing anything about it.

I had that happen to me in the World Cup or Euros (can't remember which) when Portugal knocked out England as I was at a outdoor event and suddenly lots of cars with Portuguese flags noisily drove past. I had the game recorded but was trying to avoid the score.

Was that the one when Ronaldo and Rooney got at it and he winked when he got his marching orders??

Good news for those living there though.

It only goes up as you moved west. Try Agassiz, Kent, Deroche.

Yes I think so. Ruined the day for me that England lost, Ronaldo was being a snake, and the fact that I knew the score and still hadn't watched it.

There are prisons across BC, Federal and Provincial. Abbotsford has Max security, pretty much in the middle of town.

Correctional Centres - Province of British Columbia

Federal Prisons in BC are in Victoria, Abbotsford, Kent, Agassiz and Mission.

The location of prisons does not seem to correlate to crime stats in the area.

For the most part you would have to know where they are to find them. Kent is 1km from Hwy 7, visible at night when the lights are on, still only signs of lights, not that it is a prison, otherwise unnoticeable.
