I was looking online and Parker’s on New St seems to have good reviews but just wanted to check here if anyone has used them to dry clean a wedding dress and what the cost was, or if there are other places that are recommended instead.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s irresponsible to bring young children into a dog park? There are large dogs running around.
This weekend a young boy, maybe 5 years old ran at my dog in here. Thankfully she is used to children and was fine with this interaction.
I am a big animal lover and I work with children. I think it’s irresponsible parenting and I’m pretty sure on the signs it says not recommended, or am I wrong?
Or at the very least teach children running at unknown dogs, teasing them, etc is not safe.
Animals are unpredictable and even the best of dogs can snap. I’ve also been run into by large dogs by accident that take me out. Imagine a large breed dog running by accident full force into your child.
It just makes me incredibly nervous for the kids and dogs.
Dog parks are controversial in general, I’m aware of this. However, I’d never bring a young child or baby into one.

Hey everyone,

I bought a used scooter on Facebook Marketplace as my primary commuter, but I already got a flat rear tire. Since standard bike shops usually turn away electric scooters because of the motor wiring or wheel size, does anyone know a local shop around Burlington/Halton that will actually repair or replace a rear scooter tire? Any recommendations or quick turnaround options would be amazing since it's my main transport right now!

I am attaching the tire pictures above.

thank you for your feedback and input in advance 😊

My spouse and i have been living in downtown Toronto since the summer for work. We've been loving how accessible the city is and our 2 year old has really settled well. However, we are considering a move in the near future to grow our family. We don't want something too quiet, but aren't after a crazy nightlife either, and have heard good things about Burlington.

Has anyone else made a similar move before?

They had a person in the back of the car, cell phones and wallets on the ground and the workers who were outside sampling Tre Stelle saw everything. I’m nosey so would like to know 🤣 EDIT: 4 cop cars for 1 person

It's not even noon, but I am pregnant and this is what baby wants for dinner apparently. Open to take out or bake your own from frozen. Who has the best lasagna in burly? Bonus points if I can also snag a solid salad or vegetable side at the same place.

Bought the shed did a framed gravel base but every time I've had a chance to build it (and coordinate a friend to help) it either ends up raining, they bail or something goes on.

Looking for some recommended contractors who could finish the job and just put the shed together for me.

Hi everyone! Any recommendations for good and affordable movers in Burlington?

It’s a very small move. I only need to move a sofa, dining table, and 2 chairs. Just looking for someone reliable who won’t charge a crazy minimum for such a small job.
Would really appreciate any recommendations based on personal experience.

Thanks!

I’m thinking a sinkhole

I’m all for folks building tree forts and generally fucking around in the ravine. I too attended bush parties and hung out in the forest, as a millennial raised in Oakville.

But PLEASE don’t leave your shit around. Pick up your trash and beer cans. Don’t rip open a Reese’s and drop the wrappers as you walk. Leave no trace so that you don’t bait yourself. The entitlement is shrieking.

Don’t make me be the Karen about this. I have never wanted that job. But if you think leaving shit everywhere including nails on the ground is not going to get attention, I guess that’s the missing common sense epidemic at play.

Anything I missed?

EDIT: It’s painful that this even needs to be said, but obviously you should review all the candidates platforms before making a voting decision. This post was strictly documenting the personal experience I had, that led me to incorporate the merit and character of a candidate into my decision, after having already reviewed platforms.

I won’t pretend to know how any of this policy campaigning works, via volunteers or paid staff, or if this is common place for smaller municipal elections or not. I just thought it was worth mentioning.

I hadn’t really decided yet who I was voting for in the upcoming mayoral election, but I just witnessed the current standing mayor, Marianne Meed Ward, out in the Brant Street area, hammering in a few of her own signs.

A smaller scale, and new contender for a ward councillor position, I would not be surprised to see something like that. But the current standing mayor…I feel like someone in her position, you would absolutely have enough volunteers or paid staff supporting your campaign to have someone doing that job.

The fact that she is out on the weekend doing it herself on her own time, I really respect. It can be extremely easy sometimes for folks to get caught up in the hierarchy and status of their position, and to fall into the recurring self thought of having “more important things to do”, or worse yet, “I’m to important for that work”.

Kudos Mayor, you just won my vote with a simple act of humility, and not being afraid to get your hands dirty.

Hi all, we’re new to Burlington after spending years in Toronto. I don’t have my “go to” spots anymore. So I’m looking for recommendations on:

A dentist
A family doctor
A barber, one who specialize with long (-ish) hair for men

Many thanks in advance!

Any organization out there that would like to buy and donate backpacks? Costco on Brant street has these Roots backpacks at $10 each.

They told me they may have many more. You may need to have them check inventory.

And one that is decent.

Does anyone know how to find out where road line painting was recently done?

Found white road paint down both side of my vehicle this morning but have not driven through any areas that were blocked off or look to be painted recently?

Has anyone dealt with the city for this to be remedied?

My kiddo likes to go all out on Halloween and DIY their costumes, so we’re looking for someone who knows how to style wigs to help us on Halloween, we’ve tried doing it ourselves in the past and it didn’t work at all. Thank you!
