Driving 150 Km/h weaving in and out of traffic and then having to slam on your breaks to get off at Glendale. There is zero reason for this. Come on guys. Nothing is worth dying over on the highway. Slow the fuck down.

I think I broke a bone in my foot.

Obviously need to confirm with an x-ray, but I’d rather not spend 10 hours in the ER for something this simple.

Do we have other options here?

I have been in the process of building a small business in dntwn St. Catharines. It's primarily about upcycling/selling clothing/furniture etc. Thing is, I have a ton of extra space (like, 4k sq ft of raw, commercial space) *that I rent, not own! I am hoping to generate some extra income, to assist with the obvious costs involved. I can offer storage solutions or rent sections/spaces to a few artisans..but still looking for other ideas. What are some services the dntn area could use, that it has little or none of? There are some limitations to the space (no really loud noise, no combustible anything), so I am hopeful (& thankful) for some of your ideas!

Hi! Does anyone know of a local grocery store/bakery that will print a custom photo onto a cake ? I’m on a v tight deadline lol. TYSM

As per the CBC, "Thirteen Ontario city mayors are asking Premier Doug Ford to use the notwithstanding clause to override a court decision preventing municipalities from clearing homeless encampments if their shelters are full."

"The letter is signed by Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, Brantford Mayor Ken Davis, Cambridge Mayor Jan Liggett, Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff, Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster, Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie, Oakville Mayor Rob Burton, Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter, Pickering Mayor Kevin Ashe, St. Catharines Mayor Mat Siscoe, Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre and Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens."

It looks like they need to use the notwithstanding clause to do this because it infringes upon the individuals Charter rights.

Hi everyone! Happy November!

How was Halloween at your place? I am in the north end, Niagara/Linwell area and there was like not even 5 kids coming to my door. I have so much candy left (which we will donate). I am new to St. Catharines and was so excited to give candy, hahaha. The disappointment hit hard. It this normal?

Thanks so much!

My kids take the bus to and from school and I’m noticing that nearly every day, their bus is really late. Sometimes it’s only 10 minutes or so, but it’s been getting progressively worse, I’m talking upwards of a half an hour or so. Yesterday I got 3 different notifications, first one said 10 minutes, second was changed to 20 minutes and finally the third was at 30 minutes. My kids didn’t get home from school yesterday until 4:40pm. The bus picking them up in the morning was 30 minutes late. There has only been one day day this week that their bus wasn’t late. Is anyone else having an issue with their kid’s bus being this late consistently? What is going on? It’s been going on for about 3 weeks now!

I would love to see the stars but can’t find a nice spot. Anyone have any suggestions in the Niagara area or close by?

Im planning to go to mansions or fiddlers or wherever in downtown, are people still gonna wear costumes tomorrow?

This is going to get super controversial.

I cannot hold a straight conversation and chit chat about things. I'm a M26 year old who is unable to build a real connection with most people unfortunately.

I get extremely articulate and come to life when I talk about geopolitics, China US issues and shit like that. Looking for people with similar interests ideally within the same age group.

I believe socialism is the right economic system for the world. If you think otherwise we can debate.

I also probably have undiagnosed depression so this could be one reason I am a boring person who cannot talk about entertainment related topics.

I am just confused about life. Unsure about what to do next and things happening around the world.

Title is self explanatory. Kids learned about the “Switch Witch” and would like to swap their candy for another goodie, which I won’t complain about! Where can we donate a recyclable bag full of candy?

North end near (Lake/Lakeshore)

First Halloween here in St. Kitts. Waiting for the kids and I’ve only had a handful come by. At this rate if any other kids come, I’m giving a handful of candy out! How’s the foot traffic where you are??

Doors are at 8, show starts at 9! Come support your local community improv group! It’s gonna be a hell of time with loads of blood and laughter! A match made in heaven.

Does anyone actually care about how old you are? I'm going out tonight because my boyfriend agreed to come with me I'm 17 never really had friends always went with my mom so I'm excited to go with him but I was worried people will notice I'm 17 😭😭

Seems the GO service to Niagara has improved, with an actual train going to Union and a "direct" early morning trip from NF and St Cath that includes slightly fewer stops, making the 7am trip last 2 hrs (which is probably actually faster than driving at that hour!) Understandably, the trains leave from the train stations in those respective cities and previous posts confirm you should not park at those stations... but then where do you park? Google maps doesn't show any municipal lots nearby either st Cath or NF station... ideas?

Are there any good spots for trick-or-treating on Halloween night in NOTL or St.Catharines?

Which one should i check out??

Im still somewhat new to St. Catharines. My second Halloween with kids, last year we went on our street and it was sad seeing barely no kids. So, I’m looking for great areas to trick or treat at. I don’t want to “trunk or treat” because it takes out all the fun and hype of trick or treating. I’m also looking for great trick or treat neighbourhoods or any events that might have fun things for little kids to experience.

Would any business owners be interested in promoting their product/service to an auditorium full of students for a minute for a fair price?

Probably a stupid Q, but never lived in a house before and couldn’t find anything on the city website.

What exactly am I on the hook for, for the front of my house?

Beyond the sidewalk the grass and leaves that fall there, am I supposed to be taking care of that and collecting the leaves or does the city do that?

Edit: I’m asking because I can’t tell if there is a formal expectation and a frequency that I’m supposed to be cleaning this up. I’m not speaking about my front yard, I’m taking about the city portion beyond the sidewalk to the street.

Is this a I don’t have to do it, but it’s good social etiquette to do so? Or I do have to; and if so how often?

Some neighbours have no leaves every day, some it’s massive piles.

Thanks

Are there any places with table tennis/ping pong desks in St.Catharines?

Has anyone recently (with a year or two) had a bathroom fan installed ( not replaced). Any recommendations? Not looking to go the DIY route. Thanks

Hey everyone! I’m the owner of Garden City Funerals in downtown, and I’m working on organizing a Christmas toy drive this year. Our goal is to donate physical toys directly to kids in need, but we’re running into some challenges finding local organizations that can accept toys instead of just cash donations.

I’ve reached out to a few places, including the Salvation Army on Niagara Street (still waiting to hear back), but I’d love any suggestions from the community. If anyone knows of local organizations that could use toy donations or has tips on where to look, please let me know!

Thanks so much for any leads!
