With all these break ins in the GTA lately, what are you guys doing to protect yourself and your home?

Cameras, flood lights, alarm systems. Anything else you are doing?

Technically you’re not “allowed” to have any weapons, but what types of precautions are you taking if any?

Baseball bats under the bed for the kids’ baseball games for example?

A house on Balsam Drive was burglarized this afternoon, while at the exact same time, police were 10 houses up the street conducting “law enforcement drills” in an empty house that is scheduled to be torn down. You really can’t make this stuff up.

I'm looking for a fun slo-pitch league that our office team can register in. We would prefer a weeknight schedule if possible. This will be our first year participating so really looking for something relaxed and fun where everyone can just enjoy themselves.

I've looked at HASPA but it appears to be all men's teams and OMSPL looks like a Sunday schedule. Are there other options out there? When do the leagues generally start registration?

Thanks!

Anyone know of businesses in oakville that are hiring on a part time basis? No grocery stores pls

I am thinking to sell my second car and I am looking for some advice/tips to avoid all the scams going on these days, especially on FB Marketplace.

I have been informed to sell it to wholesale buyers but their offer is quite low, so I want to try my luck to sell it through regular ways.

Also, if I have to show the car to prospective buyers, do I meet with them at the Halton Police designated spots? Is that the best way to go?

We can discuss price in DMs. I can drive to the location of your choosing.

White poodle running out in the cold. Has long hairs on his head. Seen at Ulster and Solingate just now.

Trying to shop around for some nice secondhand furniture and 90% of listings are fake. It's so frustrating to navigate. I know this isn't local to Oakville, but wondering if there's an alternative that I havent found yet. Kijiji seems dead, Karrot doesn't have much traction..

That being said, if you've got a couch for sale, let me know!

Found this is the building permits website of Oakville. I'm sure it will get issued soon if it hasn't already

Hi all. Looking for some answers on subsidized daycare. We have the option of moving our son to a daycare closer to home. But they’ve been struggling with the CWELCC funding model. The owner has worked out an arrangement but I am afraid one day they may just opt out of this model and tell parents to either withdraw their kids or pay the unsubsidized rates. Has anyone had this kind of experience with daycares off late where they stopped offering the subsidized rates? Is that something to be worried about? TIA

Looking for a wedding cake vendor for this June in Burlington. 30 people, thinking two tiers, semi naked in design.

If you know anybody you rate well please send their details our way! If you are the baker, please send your info and full pricing (cake, testing, travel, deco) as well! Thank you!

Has anyone else noticed the abandoned sailboat in the woods on South Service Rd? You can see it for a moment if you are driving east towards Bronte in the exit lane for Bronte.

Seems kind of dumb. Aren't all boats registered?

Not sure what this enormous piece is for? Part of a bridge maybe?

Hello everyone, I have seemed to miss placed my Burgundy Coach Purse sm/med sized. I’m at a loss of where it could be and was wondering if anyone has come across anything. Thank you.

From the Ward 1 E-News letter.

On another note, a building permit was been taken out for the former Target location of the South Oakville Mall (formerly known as Hopedale Mall) for a Walmart to be built in the large eastern portion of the building.  While we do not yet have any information on timing, you may see activity in the area over the coming weeks and months.

Hello,

I've applied for Ontario Works yesterday. Not sure when they will get back to me.

I've called the lighthouse and a few other shelters but they were all full.

I have a gym membership and I can lounge in the Sheridan College library for most of my day.

No luck finding a job unfortunately but I'm still sending out applications.

Wondering what other resources I should look into contacting before I'm homeless for (I'm hoping) about a month.

Any indoor place that is open 24/7 maybe?

Thanks!

has the impossible happened?
