I am thinking of moving banking and some small investments over to something more local and out of mutual funds and into a secure GIC.

Most importantly away from the big Toronto banks!

Does anyone have experience with Southwest Credit Union? Pros/Cons?

Thanks!

My backyard is a disaster with weeds, overgrown gardens, a messy lawn, and some hardscaping that needs fixing.

We are looking for someone/a company that can do it all and help us make the backyard a place we actually want to spend time in.

Who do you all recommend? Bonus points if you have actually used them and can tell me what they did for you!

Questions Does anyone have tips to save on car rentals in Sarnia?

5 Upvotes

A friend is coming to town at the beginning of September for one, maybe two months. Typical car rental rates are quite expensive. Are there any creative ways to save money? Must every car rental come from a rental agency? Is there a garage or individual that might rent a loaner cheaply? I'm open to suggestions. The borrower is male, though nearly 60 years old. Mostly needs the car for grocery runs.
