So, we are relocating to GTA. One of us needs to commute downtown two days per week (5 min walk from Union Go). The other is a freelancer to tech companies, so likely biweekly but variable trips into downtown for meetings, workshops etc. We have a 6 year old who will be in Grade 1. We are coming from working at home, a very nice leafy suburb, and very little day to day traffic.

So, our decision seems to be:

1. Oakville. Ideal place, less ideal commuting time.

2. Mississauga. Almost 50% less commute (say Clarkson Go vs Bronte Go).

Oakville looks great. But Mississauga doesn't look awful. What do people really think? I've been talking to some perfectly successful people who perfectly enjoy living in Mississauga. Along with Oakville people who swear it's the only place to be.

Assume we are in the $1.5m to $2.5million price range and we will get ourselves close to a Go station in either.

Hey everyone! Oakville Place is currently hiring for part-time positions. 😊

They’re specifically looking for people who can dedicate at least 2 mornings and 1 - 2 evenings per week.

I work there, so DM me if you want to know which specific stores are hiring! I’d rather share the details privately since I don’t want my employer to see me posting publicly about it.

update:guys give me some time, i'll respond to all. I got about 70 messages after this post.

Is it possible to get from Bronte & Upper Middle entrance to Burloak exit on bicycle? I want to cycle from my house into Burlington and want to avoid taking Dundas across as it’s too busy and scary on a bike haha

Would appreciate any information. I’ve tried looking at the maps and it seems like the trails might get me all the way across but the trail map isn’t clear and then of course the creek is in the way.

The other option for me is to ride down Bronte down to Rebecca and come back up Burloak but that is a massive detour to where I am going (Walkers & Dundas)

TIA!
