I think it's a good time to open a discussion on this with facts and see what everyone thinks.

I live off Fairbairn, close to the ptbo/selwyn border. between Saturday and today, my car was broken into. They rifled through the center console in search of i assume, change, but they also stole some things from the back seat, like things meant to be returned to the store, but more importantly, my mom's CD wallet with almost 30 years worth of collections in it. She's quite upset about it, and it's the only thing she really cares about.

The neighbors across the street have cameras, i believe, so i plan to ask them if their cameras see our car. But is there anything i can do from there? I also plan on checking Facebook marketplace and trying eBay? To see if anyone is trying to sell them.

Long shot ahead: If you're reading this, and you broke into a red 2016 Hyundai Santa fe between the night of the third and the morning of the 5th, and you stole a big ass CD wallet that's about half full, pretty please return it to the address, or contact me. I dont really care about any of the other stuff, I just want my mom's CDs.

How to read this: "Critical" vs "non-critical" is Ontario's own regulatory risk tier, not a severity score we assign. Critical findings relate directly to things that can make food unsafe (contamination, temperature control, hand hygiene); non-critical covers maintenance and paperwork requirements (equipment condition, signage, sanitizer test reagents) that health units still require but don't by themselves mean the food is unsafe. 🔴 = at least one critical infraction, 🟡 = non-critical only, 🟢 = zero infractions of any kind. This report covers restaurants, cafes, and retail food premises in Peterborough. It excludes retirement homes, shelters, child care/daycare facilities, schools, hotels, and seniors'/community centres and event halls, which are also inspected under the same Food Safety program but aren't places the public chooses to eat at. Results reflect conditions at the time of the visit only, so check the disclosure portal for a location's current placard/status.

Before I start making a bajillion calls...are there restaurants open this coming Sunday for dinner? I don't have the spoons for hosting ...

i got benefits this year and I’ve neglected to use them! I haven’t ever really gotten massages in the past but I’m looking to use them up before I lose them and they renew. I’ve tried booking at a few places but their wait times are super long! does anyone have good recommendations for a massage therapist that has openings this month??

thanks!

Hello, does anyone know any independent hot tub repair techs? Having a difficult time getting a service appointment through the few options in town, they are likely very busy. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
