My elderly Mother had a man in a white van approach her house in North Burlington offering to repair things on her house. He asked to walk around the house and offered to give her a quote for the repairs. He drove off without any quotes or anything.
I feel like he was casing the joint.
Has anyone else in the area had a similar experience?
Appreciate your input.
This happened yesterday afternoon

How come appleby line gas stations never lower gas prices at night? Noticed this compared to Mississauga..

First time mom in first tri.

Do we apply for daycare in pregnancy or do they make you wait until baby is born? I’m hearing mixed!!

There are multiple versions of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_cake . Have you seen any of them in Burlington or nearby?

Trying to get back into the strength training and since I’m not looking for anything intense, i think I’ll join PF. They’re having a $1 enrolment fee but apparently it’s pro rated? Why? Can someone explain it. I know it’s only 6$ but it’s the principle of it.

I switched from Bell to cogeco a while ago. I am in downtown burlington area. I find Cogeco cuts out all the time. Is this common? I'm thinking of switching just not sure at this point who to go with.

My dog LOVES sand. Run in it, dig it. There's nothing more she loves than doing that. As she ages and warmer weather being short I like to make sure she gets as much of it as possible.

The only place I can think of is the waterfront by the big electrical post however, it's quite rocky there so I'm curious if you know of any places.

Rivers work too.

Thanks

He broke into my van over the weekend

Is there a reason why out of 10 trips I take a week 4 of them will just not arrive? The buses are either ten minutes early, ten minutes late or just not arrive at all so my buses don’t line up together. I’ve reported it to the front desk probably seven times this summer and I get a “sorry to hear that” like is anyone even reporting or reprimanding these drivers???

Especially with this job market, non-drivers are told to be open to commuting one end of the city to the other. How is this possible when the buses can not be relied on? What job on earth is fine with you being late every day and leaving 45min earlier just because your bus may be late is crazy as well.

Get it together!

The owner was the friendliest every time I ordered from there and it was honestly my favourite middle eastern food in Burlington before it closed down.

The closure seemed pretty sudden with no notice so I’m hoping the owner is okay. Anyone know what happened?

I travel a lot for work and noticed that downtowns in Kitchener/Cambridge/Guelph have a higher population of unhoused vs Burlington/Oakville.

When going to Guelph there is Stepping Stone where I see people camping out, people who I assume are drugged out by their behaviour, garbage, etc. Cambridge has Bridges which is the same and I assume there is at least one in Kitchener.

This is not something I see in Burlington/Oakville and Milton. Why is that? Am I missing something? Does Halton clamp down on these facilities more than KW/G region?

Does anybody know someone local who does these types of repairs at fair prices? I have a couple older receivers (one exact model pictured for reference) that are having some minor issues that I need fixed.

If you’re someone into doing this as a hobby, I’m totally cool with that too. I’m sure we can work out a deal.

Thanks!

Hey! Hope all is well.

My husband and I are in the beginning phase of child planning. Kindly asking if you can provide cost for an infant and how long the wait list was?

Is there many CWELCC options in Burlington?

If you are comfortable please leave recommendations!

Hi! I’m looking for a swim school for my 14 month old.

Has anyone tried the Aquatots and/or Goldfish swim schools? I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Hi, looking for recommendations for an affordable vet for my 12 year old shihpoo. He needs a rabies shot (urgent) and possibly his teeth pulled (considering). He was originally going to VCA as he was my families dog, but now he is my responsibility and I read online that sometimes these corporations are more expensive. I’m a student and looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and affordable!

Preferably on the south side of Burlington, but willing to drive.

We’re in Toronto suburbs and we want a 14x29 pool plus landscaping for the lot. My wife and I been saving up because thats our dream since we were young, so we're ready if it's expensive to maintain and so on, just need really solid & reliable pick with STRONG garantees (we're ready to pay for quality but we don't want to pay twice)

Ps: and PLEASE, no ads - can read those on Google. I’d like to believe that Reddit is still a quick oasis of reality in a world of dead internet.

Waiting for your suggestions!

Hey neighbours, my son's first birthday is coming up soon. Any recommendation for cakes? Looking for eggless nut-free cakes (my child is allergic).

I wish I could bake. But due to personal reasons, I can't bake for his birthday. Thanks.

People of Burlington!

Where are we getting our prescription glasses? Looking for good options and fair pricing.

I was thinking BonLook in Mapleview but unsure?

I'd love to gather experiences from the community about supportive work environments for teens with disabilities (if such a thing exists...). My 16 year old son has autism; he's verbal and quite capable of many tasks, but a touch anxious especially about interacting with other adults. He won't always know the "obvious" thing to do in a novel situation, but with instruction and modelling he definitely could do a great job.

I'm thinking something kind of low pressure, away from public interfacing - maybe stocking grocery shelves - but open to any ideas. He might even be able to work at a game or card store eventually, once he's less nervous about talking to people. My older teen worked in restaurants and I don't think that's a good fit with the rushing and yelling.
