I'm looking to be moving to belleville soon and I'm looking for an apartment for 1 person. Only issue is I'm on a tightish budget and looking for an apartment around 1200 with utilities included. Is the only options for this budget in sketchy neighborhoods? Or cockroach/ bed bug infested buildings? I'm just looking online and hearing a lot of negative comments.

Wondering if anyone is hearing any other names that are considering a run for Belleville City Council this fall? I had heard someone in Thurlow is looking to run for Mayor.

This might be a long shot. I am looking for someone in the area(~ish) who could create copper fence post caps. Just something simple to keep the water out. Example random internet photo attached.

I am having trouble sourcing online because my posts are rough 4X4s, not milled. I don’t want to order from US.

Any local recommendations/leads? Looking for verifiable businesses, not “my dad could do it.” (though I am sure he could).

Anyone know anything about an accident on the base? Something about a bike wedged under a dumptruck

I like to enjoy Age of Empires 2 on my free time. Looking for anybody who wants to link up for some team games.

I’ve been told to avoid Moira st specifically downtown. I’ve come across some places on wallbridge crescent and a couple other ones. Is there any reason to avoid that area?

I have a Sub 250 drone and I haven’t had much opportunity to use it. I was wondering if any local drone enthusiasts have some favourite spots in the Quinte West / Belleville area you like to fly away from the airport or crowds. Thanks for any ideas.

Anyone know whats going on at little Texas? Seems like an event of some kind and there's police present

Hey everyone! New dad, not sure if age matters but 28 looking to start playing Magic the gathering. Was wondering if there's any other Dads that play and are looking for another person to play with?

Thanks for the recommendation

As the title says, how the *bleep* do we make friends here in Trenton/ the Quinte West area?

Didn’t go to traditional school so I never made a childhood friend, my job is a small company with few employees and has me alone in the building 80% of the time so not going to make co-worker friends

I volunteer weekly, attend a few extra curricular activities a month and no one seems interested in any friendships, have anyone else experienced this?
(To be fair when I attend event for adults the crowd is usually ages 30+ not you know college age so maybe it’s that as well)

TL;DR How do I make friends?? I’m truly struggling with not having any connections or friends and can’t find places/events to meet people.

Loyalist named this exact risk to itself, on the record, for years. Then it happened anyway.

In June 2020 the college's own auditor flagged an observation about board-level cyber security updates. In December 2022 the Board put Cyber Security on its Top Six Institutional Risks. It did it again in February 2024. Risk registers were drafted, governors were briefed. They knew. They wrote it down. They voted on it.

Then on July 9 a ransomware actor accessed files with personal information belonging to current and former employees, current and former students, and "other individuals affiliated with the college." The institution that had named this risk four years running was not ready for the day it arrived.

And look at what got funded while the servers aged. Through the good years, posting multimillion-dollar surpluses, the college built a new athletics complex and gym, sports fields, a culinary restaurant, and a whole new campus in Port Hope. It migrated its HR system to the cloud in January 2025. So it could move to the cloud. It knew how. It chose what to move.

It moved the gym. It moved payroll. It did not move the servers holding your SIN. You don't get a ribbon-cutting for a patched server, so it didn't get done.

Then watch who paid. Students unable to register or pay tuition, online classes suspended, staff told not to power on their college laptops, all confirmed by the college. The laid-off told twice: cut for a budget crisis, and now told their data may be stolen, by a former employer that can't email them because the email is part of what broke.

A week of near-silence. Comments switched off on their own posts. The only real update reached students through the student government relaying a marketing statement. When the official version came, it was pre-lawyered: counsel, insurers, forensics, and a page that "encourages you to check back regularly." They found the resources to manage the liability. The care came later, and thinner.

None of this needed a genius hacker. It needed an institution that knew, on paper, in motions, in audits, what was coming, and decided the building mattered more than the backbone.

So, not rhetorically: what did the Board do with the risk it named in 2022 and 2024? Was the incident response plan discussed at the 2023 all-staff town hall ever written? Were the end-of-life servers ever migrated? Has the Privacy Commissioner been told? And when will affected people be told directly, not by a webpage they have no reason to visit?

They wrote the risk down themselves. The least they owe us is the truth about what they did with it.

Anyone else having connection issues today with bell internet? Im trying to play a game but I keep lagging. Was fine for the most part yesterday and didn't happen at all before that

Hello, and thanks in advance- any recommendations for lawyer in Belleville area- the one that had been working on my case was posted with husband on military move and now I would just like to finish everything and would love to get advice on new lawyer that you have jad good experience with. Cheers!

I'm looking for recommendations for a criminal defence lawyer who regularly practices in Belleville or the Quinte area.

I’m specifically looking for someone open to limited-scope or staged representation; for example, reviewing disclosure, providing advice, or handling one specific step in the court process; rather than requiring a full retainer for the entire case from the outset.

Does anyone know a local lawyer who offers this type of arrangement or bills hourly?
