Leads for jobs?

I have a college degree, my CompTIA A+ and internship experience yet I can't find anything here in Oakville or the halton region in general. Can't even get a callback from Walmart or McDonalds. Any leads?

Ban Dominos Pizza and Pizza hut

I work at a hospital on Third Lane. My co-workers and I often order Domino's for work and on weekends. Since Trump imposed tariffs, we’ve decided to stop supporting American food chains and are looking for alternatives. Can anyone recommend a good local place?

Barber Recommendation

Hello!

I'm looking for any recommendations for a barber that does good work since the fellow I have been to moved further away.

Anywhere within about 15 minutes of the Trafalgar & Upper Middle area would be great, but I'm open to suggestions further away.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions so far, I have a few places to check out. Much appreciated.

1111 Lakeshore Road W Mansion

Anybody know who owns the massive estate at 1111 Lakeshore Road W? It's massive! Even the front gates must have cost a fortune.

Service Canada Cross Ave

Has anyone been to this location in the afternoon recently? Wondering what the wait is like, not sure if it’s worth going to this one while I’m at the office, or if just drive to the one near my house instead. TIA!

Sublease needed immediately

My best friend is in a crisis situation as she has just left an abusive marriage and is staying at a overflow shelter in peel region with her 2 yr old daughter as she does not has any family in the country. She is looking for a place to sublease in the next two weeks so that she can utilize the Canada Ontario housing benefit (COHB). Due to her circumstances her case worker has informed her if she is able to fine a place in the next 2 weeks the government will cover 70% of the rent and she will ensure it is automatically deposited to the landlords account. Anywhere in peel religion and all help suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Community call

Hey everyone, I am a 34 year old with 3 kids. Looking for work. I have lots of skills with reno, construction and mechanical experience. With that in mind, I have been applying to everything and anything I can. I want to support my family in anyway I can. I was laid off suddenly after losing a parent and it has put me in a position that I do not feel o can trust my employer.

I want more than anything to work and take care of bills. Getting out of the house and contributing to society is always a plus. If you need someone or know someone whom needs help DM me. I drive, I am punctuale and desperate.

Thanks In advance!

Stack BBQ - Oakville Place

Love this place! The food is always delicious and the service is always friendly.

We usually call in for a pick-up order and the food is always hot and ready to go.

Their website says it is a family owned restaurant.

Just want to let everyone know how great this place is!

Get the brisket!

The post from yesterday asking for help

Did that post made by the young girl asking for help get deleted? Someone had offered to pay for an Uber to a women's shelter and I am just wondering whether she was made it to the shelter? I felt like helping but couldn't get past the idea that it might be a scam. It was really cold last night and it's been on my mind. Anyways anyone know anything?
