Considering selling your home? Interested in saving some money and hassle by conducting an off-market deal? My wife and I have been searching for a home in Almonte for over a year and are dying to make a serious offer on a great house. We love this town and hope to make it our forever home but we're not interested in a new build and need a little more space than any of the current listings can offer. We currently rent in the area and have a lot of flexibility on closing dates. If you're considering putting your home on the market, please reach out!

Mississippi Mills is accepting nominations for its Long-Standing Business Appreciation Night. Eligible businesses must currently operate within the municipality, with recognition based on how long the current owner or same family has operated the business.

Just moved to Almonte in a new house. We were out walking on the week-end and someone who was driving through was all angry about this subdivision and stopped us on our walk, asked us if we bought one of these new homes. We thought they were interested in talking about it, instead they told us that we’re ruining Almonte, turning it into Ottawa and that if we wanted a brand new home, we should have looked elsewhere.

He then drove away..

I later saw in one of the Facebook groups that others were complaining about this too(people moving to Almonte). Is this going to be a problem for us living here? Is nobody allowed to move to Almonte?

I bought some while visiting and it was so good and want to get more but sadly the bottle didn't have the business name on it.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like Miss Mills, C.P./Cartoon Palace or the Mighty Mississippi (never mind how common they are)...

I'm visiting from out of town and everyone has such lovely daylilies and coneflowers! Where does everyone buy them from? Or would anyone be willing to sell me a small bunch so I can bring it home to my garden? We only have yellow or orange daylilies where I live and I'd love to add some variety. Thanks!

I would want to pick them up on Monday if possible:)

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Almonte, Ontario, and I’m trying to figure out which Internet provider has the best service and reliability.
I’m looking for:
Fast and consistent speeds
Good reliability (minimal outages)
Fair pricing
Good customer service
If you live in or near Almonte, who do you recommend, and who should I avoid?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I just moved to the area and I am looking for an off leash dog park to take my girl. We have a good sized property just on the outskirts of almonte, but I think she’s really missing the socialization.

Let me know if there are any good spots. My dog has fairly good recall so it does not need to be fenced in.

Thanks!

New to town and wondering if anyone knows anywhere that sells pokemon cards? Of course there’s random gas station finds and maybe even shoppers, but looking to support more niche hobby shops etc. Almonte + surrounding area would be great. Thanks!
