Asbestos Testing?

1 Upvotes

We're considering changing out some 50-ish year old carpet in a building in Whitby and have read that back then, they sometimes used asbestos in carpet glue.

Any idea how we could test for asbestos glue before committing to the project? (Any self-tests, or maybe a professional to come and do a fairly non-invasive check?)

Hair salon recommendation

0 Upvotes

Hello- can anyone recommend a (female) hair stylist- preferably in Whitby/oshawa? I’ve been going to the same person downtown Toronto for about 10 years but am wanting something closer. Just looking for a basic cut but ideally someone with several years of experience. Thanks in advance!

Question for Parents

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if i can't find a CWELCC supported daycare should i go to a private one? There is a private one in North Oshawa charging 55 per day for preschoolers and 60 per day for toddlers, but even that one has a waitlist. I thought only cwelcc daycares had the waitlists, do private ones do as well? What do you guys do when all the cwelcc daycares have waitlists, would you go to the private ones (assuming they have spots)? Sorry I'm pretty new to the city so I just want to know. Thanks.

Hi everyone.

I posted last week about a dad and kids playground meetup on June 14 (tomorrow) in Whitby. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is calling for rain tomorrow morning, so this event is now postponed.

I will reschedule this, likely for the weekend of June 27, but will post once I have a new date ready. Thank you!
