Does anyone know where I can pickup some prepared legs of duck confit? I was hoping that superstore would have it but it appears not. I got a cassoulet I need to make today.
Does anyone know any upcoming community events or initiatives that companies can donate to?
I just found âUp with Artâ which happened in May, and it was a fundraiser for the Unity Project and Museum London to raise $50,000 in five minutes to help end homelessness.
Any initiatives or events like that would be excellent and Iâd love your recommendations.
I am a supporter and modest financier of the Ukrainian war against Russia. I am not knowledgeable about Ukrainian food, but would like to give it a try. I am pretty much home-bound, so I am intrested in Ukrainian food available for delivery. Are there any available services, and recommendations for food to try for a beginner? Thanks for any information.
Looking for recommendations for a family in the neighborhood with a disobedient kid, whoâve tried everything they know how (yes they discipline and arenât âgentle parentsâ). Kid is male, 17 years old, not just disobedient to parents but has received warnings from police for various things. Are there any resources in London like social work, or other things to help parents cope, but also give them strategies they might not have thought of or ways to get through to this kid? Or if anyone has any experience of their own?
The family knows this post is being made, and are very open to options.
Title says it all.
I'm looking to get back into kickboxing or something similar. I'd be happy with MMA as well, as long as it's beginner friendly.
Looking for adult class in Fridays or Saturdays, preferably after 1pm
Any recommendations are appreciated!
Hi,
Looking for recommendations for a good auto shop/mechanic in the Westmount area?
Would be a bonus if theyâre known for being good working on Volkswagens.
My sister has been using Top Gear for years but weâve moved out of the east end so it isnât convenient to go there anymore.
Thanks in advance!
Most coffee shops I've seen around here close around 6pm, but I enjoy studying at them and am looking for places that are open until ~9pm. I've been to saga downtown but is there anywhere else that is open later?

I have lots of brand new baby stuff that Iâd like to go directly to someone in need and not just a money grabbing thrift shop that will sell it for a crazy amount or anything like that.
How many trick or treaters did your area get? Best house? Best costume? How were your vibes? Best bar? What did you do London and how was it? Haunted house?
Looking for suggestions on what to order for takeout tonight for a family with kids and grandparents. Something different and fun. Preferably sharing style.
So close! I almost got to see the most London of London rites of passage. Good on the driver for realizing their mistake and safely getting out of their predicament, I guess...
Does anyone know where one might find an angel tree in the area? I don't know if places have even started doing them yet but I haven't seen any - thanks!
Moved to London from Alberta and parking at street. Got ticket as I need ticket pass to use the overnight street parking. Do I need to pay the ticket or I can dispute that.
When do they usually start taking nets off the tennis courts in the parks around here for the winter?!
My two-doors-down neighbour has been having strange conversations with me lately about people recording him and conspiring against him. Things such as kids walking by his house recording video on their cell phones, trying to set him up on the bus, and even lightly accusing me of recording a bus stop across the road with my driveway camera. He's saying he has enough notes on people to "put them away" for a long time. This behaviour is new for him.
To make sure I wasn't off-base, I asked the neighbour between us if he thought this person was okay, to which he replied "I don't think so" and agreed there is reason to be concerned.
He lives on his own and we don't have contacts for any family member. I don't know what to do. Contacting the authorities for a wellness check would literally be this poor mans worst nightmare and potentially spiral him further.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to help?
Anyone dealt with a real estate lawyer that handles disputes in litigation?
Has anyone noticed an increase in mouse activity in London this fall?
Yes or no? Me and my friends are planning to go to the bar dressed up tomorrow friday night because thatâs the only day we can. Is there still anyone dressing up tomorrow?
Other than Angelo's where can I buy a good frozen lasagna these days?
Looking for April/may 2025. Iâm a manual wheelchair user, and will be living with 1-2 other people. Im studying on Oxford street campus
So after a couple of years escorting my kids around the neighborhood I was able to stay home and hand put candy again. I am surprised by the amount of kids without costumes. I was raised as "no costume no candy rule" but I can't do that and say no. Is it just me or is Halloween fading away. It seems less and less people decorate and hand out candy anymore.
