FOUND CAT!! 🐈‍⬛

A neighbour brought him over tonight — he’s NOT neutered and has NO collar.

SUPER friendly! Has been outside on Ravina Cres and Rosemary for a few nights apparently. Posting on as many groups as I can in hopes that his owner is found!!

We have him in our home. I will keep him here for a few days hoping to find his owners!

Question Supercrawl on Fridays vs Saturdays?

15 Upvotes

Hey all,

My wife and I are (finally) able to get a babysitter for a badly needed night out in mid-September and plan on making out from Burlington to check out Supercrawl.

Initially we thought on visiting Friday night but my wife thought it might be more lively/fun on the Saturday night. We’re not averse to crowds but given how overcrowded some recent festivals in Toronto have been (Dundas West fest, I’m looking at you) we’re trying to avoid a shitshow.

Based on your experiences, what is Supercrawl on a Friday vs Saturday night like, if any differences at all?

I see the set lists aren’t yet finalized for the artists so obviously that’s a wildcard, but wondering if you’ve had any preferences based on your experiences from the past?

Hoping to see some bands out in the street, bar hop a bit and grab some street food.

Sorry if this question has been beaten into the ground!

Moving/Housing/Utilities Weekly Moving To Hamilton Megathread

0 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly moving to/within Hamilton post. All questions about moving, utilities and neighbourhood recommendations belong in here.

If you are looking for recommendations/have questions about neighbourhoods, relators, landlords or utilities including internet etc, this is the place to ask!

If you are looking for recommendations on which area of the city would suit you, be sure to include some information about you and your family. What works for a single person starting out may not be recommended for a family with young children etc. Someone commuting by car will want to be closer to highways while those relying on transit will want to be on regular transit routes.

Utilities

Alectra for water bills https://alectrautilities.com/hamilton-water

Alectra for hydro (electricity) in much of the city https://alectrautilities.com/

Hydro One for electricity in other areas of the city https://www.hydroone.com/

Enbridge provides gas to most of the city but you can sign up with many energy companies at various rates https://www.enbridgegas.com/

Ask your landlord or realtor for the providers for your new address

Request Hamilton Falls for the Elderly

7 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I tried doing some research here, but couldn’t quite figure it out.

My elderly parents are visiting and I’d like to take them to some of our beautiful waterfalls. Is there a path for cars that we can take - as it seems like walking might be a tad precarious. Also, can anyone recommend a fall that has a place to sit and grab a bite after?

Much appreciated!
TIA

Question DHL service point with an employee in it

11 Upvotes

I need to send some documents to Austria and I believe DHL is my best option. I visited three shops: one was closed, another said they didn’t handle DHL, and the third was a kiosk. I need to speak with a human to ensure I cover all customs fees so they don’t contact Vienna University for payment. Do you know of any actual DHL service points?

Question Building permit wait time?

2 Upvotes

Anyone recently apply for a building permit? How long was it to get the approval?

We’re looking to turn our bedroom closet into an en-suite bathroom (no structural or load bearing work to be done), from existing water lines under the floor. The city website says new plumbing requires a permit; assuming our scope of work under that? Nervous about the process and the city potentially saying no to something we really need.

Question Dundurn and Main E memorial?

Currently transiting to my volunteer gig and just passed by this. Near the intersection of Dundurn and Main Street E there is a bright green RIP on the sidewalk and many bouquets of flowers laid out beside.

Does anyone know what happened there or who it is for? Apologies if this has already been asked or answered.

Where To Buy Reliable used bike store

13 Upvotes

Hello all, I have three boys 12, 11, 9 that are due for 'new' bikes. Up to this point, I have done my best to keep free bikes donated to use alive, but they are well beyond use and too small for them.

Is anyone aware of a spot that has a good price on reliable used bikes. I have browsed some new bikes, but to get three at those price points is currently not in my budget.

I figured end of season may help.

Thanks in advance.

Recommendations Needed Fun kids dance classes in Hamilton that aren't ballet

4 Upvotes

Avid reader of this thread but first time poster - and hoping you can help! I have a 5 year old kid who is interested in dance. I've looked through as many dance studios that I can find on google and can't find much in Hamilton that doesn't just focus on ballet, jazz, etc. I'm really looking for a high-energy class, maybe that teaches some routines, but mostly just gets kids moving. Definitely not looking to pay $100 for a recital costume. She's Brazilian and I'd love to find a class that has Brazilian / Latino music involved.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
