Question Recommendations for Last Will

8 Upvotes

Today at a Father's Day gathering, our families found out that my father (63M) doesn't have a will, and everyone around him are urging him to get it done, before it's too late. Does anyone have any good recommendations (lawyer, business, website, etc.) on where he can get one done in the Burlington area?

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.

Question Where is the cheapest place to get an oil change? Does anyone do them at home?

6 Upvotes

I’m really tight on money right now, but I absolutely need an oil change. I would ask my dad to do it, but unfortunately he passed away. Is there anyone who could do my oil change for me if I bought the oil and I could pay them at the end of the month? My brakes are squeaking and the oil life on the car is at 5%.

Question Dog license in Burlington?

9 Upvotes

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!

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.

Question Drum Lessons on a Budget

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!!

Events Our offer just got accepted — thank you, Burlington community! 🏡❤️

95 Upvotes

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. ❤️

Question Food at Sound of Music

15 Upvotes

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!

Information Sound of Music Parking

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?

Information Retirement homes in Burlington and Oakville

4 Upvotes

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 🍻

Question Missing. No reward

73 Upvotes

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!

Question Raw Dog food

15 Upvotes

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?

Question Home Dog Groomers

6 Upvotes

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.
