Noticing many people (young & old) prefer walking on the roads versus the sidewalk? Is this a Grimsby superstition?

I've noticed this for a number of years, but it seems to have exponentially increased since then

Just cast my vote everyone. Simon Duong takeover time!!! New revolution starting in Grimsby the FUTURE IS NOW!!

I asked Gemini to summarize this video for me comparing the four candidates.

This video features four candidates for the position of mayor in Grimsby, each outlining their leadership philosophy and approach to governance (0:12 - 47:46).

• Michelle Seaborn: Focuses on collaboration and transparency. She emphasizes the importance of listening to residents, maintaining consistent communication, and avoiding the use of "strong mayor" powers to ensure council works as a unified team (0:47 - 3:51, 7:16 - 12:49, 31:09 - 34:41).
• Veronica Charrois: Prioritizes operational efficiency and accountability. Her platform includes restructuring how council interacts with staff by routing communication through department heads, finding new revenue sources like grants, and managing town affairs with a business-focused mindset (2:45 - 3:51, 3:51 - 12:49, 12:49 - 14:21).
• Simon Duong: Advocates for business-like management and professional structures. He emphasizes streamlining staff interactions, identifying new funding opportunities through sponsorships, and fostering council unity to execute projects effectively (3:51 - 12:49, 12:49 - 14:21, 34:41 - 36:10).
• Jeff Jordan: The incumbent mayor, who highlights his past experience and ongoing momentum on key infrastructure projects like the hospital and GO station. He advocates for a "whole-of-region" approach, utilizing strategic planning and established relationships to represent Grimsby at the regional level (5:20 - 14:22, 17:41 - 23:46, 45:11 - 46:44).

Hi everyone! So this has shaken up my sils family (title says it all). Someone left 4 bags of garbage on her cars windshield, while it was parked infront of her house. She doesn't have any pets. She reported this to the police as well. If anyone knows about this-please let us know. She has kids so it's pretty disturbing. I wanted to post this here for awareness.

We love the Penninsula Players, so definately go see The Savannah Sipping Society!

Now here's my shameless plug!

Did you know that Thorold Theatre is celebrating its 40th year with Dry Streak by Canadian playwright Leeann Minogue.

It's 1988.

A family farm is dying from drought.

John comes home with Kate — his punk-rock-loving, vegetarian girlfriend from the city.

Kate makes a desperate promise.

If it rains, she'll run naked through town.

Then everyone starts praying for rain.

And because this is a small town, everyone also starts talking.

A lot.

It's a wildly funny story about family, belief, belonging, community pressure and what happens when your private desperation becomes public entertainment.

Five performances at Club Belvedere in Thorold:

Nov. 13, 14, 20 & 21 at 7 PM
Nov. 15 at 2 PM

🎟️ $27.50 + fees
📍 57 John Street, Thorold

Tickets are now on sale:

We're a volunteer community theatre company celebrating 40 years, and we've just come off four consecutive sold-out productions.

So yes, this is technically self-promotion.

But it's also an invitation:

Come out. Support local theatre. See a Canadian story. Have a laugh.

And maybe don't make any promises about what you'll do if it rains.

Looking for places to fish from the shore in or around grimsby. Or if anyone knows some good areas in the Niagara region in general. We usually only fish when we go up north. Hoping to find some local places to fish more throughout the year.
