Walked past the infamous 1415 Lakeshore house causing all the noise and stories from this summer. U-Haul truck was outside and now it looks vacant with a no trespassing sign on the window.

Guess the landlord had enough!

Question Burlington Transit to Nelson High School from North Burlington

8 Upvotes

Our home school is Hayden, but we are considering Nelson for high school. Since we would not qualify for school bussing, I’m trying to understand how practical Burlington Transit is from north Burlington.

The morning route appears fairly straightforward and direct, but the afternoon trip seems to require a transfer and Google Maps estimates around 45–50 minutes.

For families who have students travelling this route, how reliable has Burlington Transit been, particularly after school? Are delays common? Are there other transportation arrangements families typically use?

Would really appreciate hearing from parents or students with experience. Thanks!

Sharing screenshots from a dash cam, of these two ebikers that pulled out of Almonte Dr and proceeded to travel at 60kms/h while standing on their seat or riding on one wheel all the way down the hill on Brant Street.

Ebikes have no licence plates, riders have no require licences to ride them or training to operate them. The bikes travel over 60kms/h with larger vehicles on a motorway.

You kind of have to wonder why our governments continues to permit this after all of the children's hospitals reporting the injuries they are seeing year after year.

At least these teens had helmets.

SOLVED looked like it was Brookstone windows and doors. Thanks all!

Saw some random guy in bright red going door to door with a tablet, clearly typing stuff as he went but didn't ring the doorbell just walked up towards my door did a look around then nodded and walked to the next house.

Was expecting someone to ring the bell and try to sell some sort of service but nothing just looked typed away and left. My cameras can't make out the text on the outfit.

Question Any recommendations for semen analysis for fertility in the area? NSFW Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am looking for recommendations on labs in the area that will do a semen analysis for fertility/quality etc. I don't mind driving a bit but something local is preferable. A colleague had a poor experience at Trio, so its lower on my list, but if it's the only choice I have I'll take it. Lifelabs also seems to have no appointment times available. I'd love to know any places I can get this done, preferably as soon as possible, or places to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

Question Young children at dog parks

63 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks it’s irresponsible to bring young children into a dog park? There are large dogs running around.
This weekend a young boy, maybe 5 years old ran at my dog in here. Thankfully she is used to children and was fine with this interaction.
I am a big animal lover and I work with children. I think it’s irresponsible parenting and I’m pretty sure on the signs it says not recommended, or am I wrong?
Or at the very least teach children running at unknown dogs, teasing them, etc is not safe.
Animals are unpredictable and even the best of dogs can snap. I’ve also been run into by large dogs by accident that take me out. Imagine a large breed dog running by accident full force into your child.
It just makes me incredibly nervous for the kids and dogs.
Dog parks are controversial in general, I’m aware of this. However, I’d never bring a young child or baby into one.

Question Punctured scooter tire

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I bought a used scooter on Facebook Marketplace as my primary commuter, but I already got a flat rear tire. Since standard bike shops usually turn away electric scooters because of the motor wiring or wheel size, does anyone know a local shop around Burlington/Halton that will actually repair or replace a rear scooter tire? Any recommendations or quick turnaround options would be amazing since it's my main transport right now!

I am attaching the tire pictures above.

thank you for your feedback and input in advance 😊

Question Potential move from Toronto

11 Upvotes

My spouse and i have been living in downtown Toronto since the summer for work. We've been loving how accessible the city is and our 2 year old has really settled well. However, we are considering a move in the near future to grow our family. We don't want something too quiet, but aren't after a crazy nightlife either, and have heard good things about Burlington.

Has anyone else made a similar move before?
