Any recommendations for spots in Hamilton where I can pick up cheap roadside firewood? Willing to go into Flamborough, Binbrook and the outskirts of the city.

Does anyone have any details on what looked like a SWAT stand-off on Waterdown and Plains Rd this morning? There’s been a growing presence of seedy looking folks in this neighborhood lately, but I can’t say that seeing a dozen armed cops with rifles drawn (and a police tank!) was on my Saturday morning bingo card.

My partner and I are slated to at the Porphyry Island Lighthouse with the CLSS in the upcoming weeks as part of their lighthouse keepers program. They have provided us with a really great rundown of what to expect but I was wondering if any of you lovely folks had experience with staying on the island or had any recommendations or suggestions about the stay, things to pack, watch out for, etc?

Hi all! My partner and I are slated to at the Porphyry Island Lighthouse with the CLSS in the upcoming weeks. I was wondering if any of you lovely folks had experience with staying on the island or had any recommendations or suggestions about the stay, things to pack, watch out for, etc?

It’s definitely a new experience for both of us and we’re super excited to visit this region of Ontario for the first time. TYIA!

I have lived in this beautiful city for the majority of my life and I am concerned about the sprawl and changes occurring. I think there is a lot of power in the citizenry voicing their concerns, and I feel that I have encountered more Burlingtonians that are anti condo sprawl and unfettered densification than those that are pro.

My question is - are there any active grass roots organizations fighting this issue? How do those that are concerned voice this dissonance in an effective way?

I live in a Polonia heavy area in Canada and we have a few sources for books in Polish at a couple of the stores around here. However, I do find that a lot of these books are either religious in content or just not even remotely close to something I would be interested in reading. Does anyone have any recos as to where I can source Polish books and translated English-Polish books (stuff like Harry Potter) online that ship to or within Canada?

Lots of good work clothes and basics on sale.
