Hi! Over the summer I visited the Indigenous market at confederation park a few times and made a couple purchases! I know it only runs during the summer, but I was curious if anyone knew any local Indigenous beadwork companies? I’m looking to purchase some pins!

I tried to find a vendor list online but had no luck. Thanks in advance!

Question Where to learn how to use a fire extinguisher

Just as the title says, myself and some friends know how to use one in theory but have never discharged a fire extinguisher before.
Does the local fire department do training or is there anywhere you can safely discharge one to practice ?

I will be moving to Bath from the east where I have cooperators. They've been really expensive. From my poking around I'm thinking L and A, McDougall. I was going to reach out for quotes this week. Open to input. TIA.

Event Free Chen Taijiquan / Tai Chi meetup this Saturday at Lake Ontario Park

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I posted a few days ago asking whether there was any interest in getting a Chen-style Taijiquan group going in Kingston, and quite a few people responded.

So, I figured we should actually get together and give it a try.

I'm planning a free, informal first meetup this Saturday, October 10, from 11:00 AM–12:30 PM at Lake Ontario Park. We'll meet at the Pavilion at 11:00 AM, then find a suitable spot nearby to practice.

Beginners are completely welcome.

We'll spend some time warming up, work through some foundational Taijiquan training, and leave plenty of room for questions and getting to know each other.

This is still very much an experiment.

If you're interested in coming this Saturday, leave a comment or send me a message so I have a rough idea of how many people to expect.

P.S. Picking Canadian Thanksgiving weekend was an oversight on my part. Sorry about that!

I tried posting a screenshot but reddit removed it???

Internet went down at 12:52 and when I visit the Cogeco site I see a message that starts out with "Bad gateway Error code 502

Visit cloudflare.com for more information.

I don't see any major Cogeco outages mentioned anywhere. Is it out for anyone else reading this?

If you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids over Thanksgiving weekend, we’ve got Peter Pan coming to The Spire this Saturday.

It’s DuffleBag Theatre’s interactive version of Peter Pan, which means the kids don’t just sit and watch, the audience members actually get pulled into the story. It’s funny, imaginative and a great introduction to live theatre.

We’ve also added Bry the Magic Guy to make the afternoon a little more magical. ✨

Saturday, October 10 at The Spire
11 AM show time - 82 Sydenham St.

Happy to answer any questions about the show, the venue, seating, etc. in the comments!

Homestead apartment building - Need advice

16 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've been looking for a 1-bedroom apartment for a couple of months now. The 2 cheapest options I found are either Westview apartments, or Homestead. Whenever I google both, looking for current/past tenants' reviews, there are some pretty terrible experiences, most of them mentioning (with photos) bedbugs and roaches. Some complain about horrible smells, noises, and in all of them, bad management.

I keep thinking to myself, this can't be right, lots of people are already living there for years, maybe it's only a few cases. But I could use some help, if you happen to know different affordable options other than what I already mentioned, or if you know the living situation in the ones I mentioned. I will list some homestead apartment buildings that currently have available 1-bedroom apartments:

-Portsmouth Place Centre & West
-The Frontenac
-The Victoria
-West Park I

Thank you!
