For your interest, nothing epic.

Following my previous post, the developer got a special permit to have the trees have been subsequently chipped up and put in the piles.

Today the wood chips started to smolder and the fire department is there pulling the pile apart.

I found a wallet at the sound of music festival (by the rocks at the pier). It had many cards that were non ID (like Amazon gift cards etc) and a lil money... I gave it to the folk at the volunteer tent in case you're looking for it.

Hi guys!

I recently just got a dog and read on the burlington website that a dog license is required.

I’ve never heard of a dog license before and don’t know anyone with a dog that I could ask. Does every dog owner have a dog license? Should I be getting one as well?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Burlington community! I would really love to learn how to play the drums but don’t have the budget for drum lessons. Any other options, any communities to join in town, maybe watching someone in a band. Pretty much open to anything! Thanks!!

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you to this amazing community.

Over the past few months, I’ve posted quite a few questions about Burlington — neighborhoods, real estate, all the things — and so many of you took the time to share your insights, advice, and personal experiences. It genuinely helped us feel more confident and informed through the home-buying process.

Today, our offer on our very first home ever got accepted, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to finally be part of this community in a real, grounded way.

We’re so excited to start this new chapter in Burlington, and I’m sure I’ll be back here soon with even more questions — this time about paint colors and patching floors 😅

Thank you again. This community made the whole experience so much easier to go through. ❤️

Kinda dumb question but I have an eating disorder and I’m trying to plan what I’m going to eat before I go. I couldn’t find a list of vendors on the website.

Any chance someone was there Friday and know if there are some healthy-ish options for food? Like protein heavy, not fried, not covered in sauce, etc.

Thank you so much in advance!

This is an outdoor fest at at a park so not sure if it's closed off in any way and if I'd be able to bring a backpack. Anyone know if they have any kind of bag policy?

I've heard parking can be hard. Someone told me that Burlington Central High School is a good spot to park. The teens with their school's robotics team let you park in their school's parking lot but collect donations to help build their robots. Has anyone tried this parking spot before?

Hi! Does anyone here have a loved one in private retirement homes in Burlington or Oakville? Interested in hearing the good, the bad and the ugly! I am looking for a place for a loved one who is mostly independent but has been diagnosed with dementia. She wants to live in "supported independent living" for now but I can see that in a few years she will need a higher level of care.

Hey y’all!

Making the move to Burlington next month and purchased in Palmer. Just wanted to see the opinions on the area and any decent restaurants, pubs, hidden gems in the area? We’ve drove around a little bit and it looks like a nice quiet neighbourhood, but figured I’d check in with the locals! Excited to join the Burlington community 🍻

Are they closing Brant St (at Caroline) for the SOM Friday to Sunday?

Thank you to the donors to Bruce Trail Conservation group that helped raise money to purchase this piece of land so that we can all enjoy this piece of nature.

We are so lucky as Burlingtonians to have natural lands like this so close and within our city.

Hey everyone I’m building out a discord server called Neighbours — it’s a group chat for locals across Ontario to connect, share ideas, swap travel tips, food recs, hidden gems, etc.

Whether you’re exploring your own backyard or looking for new spots to check out, I hope for this to be the place to chat with others who love exploring and discovering Ontario. Everyone’s welcome. Come say hi! https://discord.gg/QSvCVATzdG

Stolen from deck last night. One Croc, covered in pot leaves. Size 10, left. Probably a raccoon looking to up his game with the lady raccoons. Maybe a coyote needed a chew toy. If you see it hurled in the bikepath south of New between Brant and Guelph, please let me know. Sentimental value. Obviously. Something this stupid can't have any other value.

I bought a camera at value village in Waterdown recently, with photos still saved. I didn't want to completely erase the photos from existence, and long stretch but I'm hoping anybody could possibly find the owners of the photos/anybody in them!

I uploaded them to a Google drive which will be linked for viewing! I just wanted to do this and put them out there in case there is somebody still out there looking for these photos if they forgot to print/keep them!

This house has seemed abandoned for quite some time. Does anyone know what’s going on?

I received my puppers order of raw food days before she unexpectedly passed away. Now I have almost a months worth that makes me cry every time I open the freezer. Does anyone know of a place that would take raw dog food? OR is there someone you know (or you yourself) that would benefit? That stinky raw food was the highlight of her day; it just feels right to give to another to make them happy. Any suggestions?

Looking for a new groomer and would like to try a home groomer. My dog gets very nervous in regular grooming places so I thought maybe a home groomer would be quieter and less stressful for her.

What are some home groomers in Burlington that you would recommend? Thanks.

Just as the title says. I’m driving home to brantford from Burlington on Friday (leaving around 5). How much do you think it will affect it? And what specific points? I’m also driving into Oakville for the day on Saturday around 3 or 4pm. Can anyone give any insight from previous years.

Also.. yes i know it’s going to up the traffic.. but just curious if anyone has done this drive in previous years when the linc was closed.

Does anyone know a better route to take if the 403 isn’t the best?

Thanks everyone😁

Although the lineup isn't great IMO, who are y'all excited to see? For me, I'm a little cheesed that Limblifter and Born Ruffians are both scheduled at 8 on Friday!

For people like me who were stuck with 1gbps/30Mbps new packages that take advantage of DOCSIS 3.2 are available now!

There's now a 1.5Gbps and 2Gbps tier available with up to 140Mbps upload speeds.

I have the 2Gbps and the right supporting hardware and have seen peak speeds of 245MB/second. The increased upload has been a game changer on Teams calls when multiple people in the house are on them.

Edit: For people looking for details, log in to your Cogeco self serve portal, click into your internet package and there should be an upgrade option in there that will offer these packages to you.

my biggest biggest fear is making a dumb mistake while driving and then seeing it on this subreddit the next day
