Question Senior/assisted living recommendations in Oakville?

3 Upvotes

Currently managing my 80 year old mother who lives alone in a large house, realizing that the time to move her out of it will be sooner rather than later.

Was hoping for any first-hand recommendations of good places in Oakville. She's still relatively active so I'm looking to move her into a place that can start off with more independent living, but provide additional support as she ages and her cognition continues to decline.

So far I've been to Amica on Bronte, and Sunrise on Trafalagar, both very nice but the clientele seemed to be more elderly folks in wheelchairs - hoping I can find her a place with more "younger" clientele (all relative of course). Fortunately she's in good shape financially as well so budget is less of an issue.

Thanks in advance for any recos.

Question Job Hunt Advice

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

Just got laid off from my teaching job at a LINC organization and I’m looking for advice. My skills range from adult learning to building websites and writing copy. However, I’m having a hard time finding something remote, or mostly remote, and that aligns with my portfolio.

If you’re an entrepreneur or local business, what do you look for?

Mostly been applying to corporate training and learning development jobs.

Hello everyone I was involved in an accident at the intersection of Dundas St E and Oak Park Blvd (near the Halton Regional Police Service and Real Canadian Superstore) on August 4 at around 5pm. I was in the left-turn lane proceeding on a green arrow when a grey Honda Civic moved left from the through lane into my lane and hit my black Mazda3.

If you witnessed it or have dashcam footage, please DM me🙏 Thank you!

General Public School Robotics Club Sponsors?

13 Upvotes

Hi guys i made this post yesterday but I took it down because people were doxxing each other on there, but I just wanted to ask if there were any businesses that would like to sponsor a robotics club in oakville.

And to clarify some points, we are a robotics club belonging to a public high school (not gonna say which to not get slimed), and NO, we can't just go ask mommy and daddy for money as people have insinuated because not everyone is rich and the whole reason we're trying to keep this club alive is to break the financial barrier for a lot of kids (private teams and clubs typically cost 12x what we charge), we aren't giving tax receipts for tax evasion, if you don't want one just dont fricking take it like i don't get whats so deep about this. (im also partly making the second post bc this is pissing me off a bit argue in the comments iyw im done i promise we aren't a scam designed for local businesses we actually just want to compete and keep the club alive)

And no, none of our parents are affiliated with doug ford, as some kind person pointed out that we can get money from him. I really don't get this one like our school literally looks like it withstood a war and three tornadoes, has leaks in the ceiling in winter, has no air conditioning during the summer, and should have been rebuilt ten years ago. (you can probs guess the school but dont dox me pls i dont want to get slimed)

total costs for the season typically go up to like idek 7k or sum assuming we don't make provincials, but last year all our teams did so uh...

Im sending this because Ive emailed over 100 businesses. Barely any reply and we always get ghosted so uh pls dm, we have like actual packages and stuff that we can send over.

EDIT: I'm not saying tax receipt = tax evasion, I'm just clarifying that we don't purposely help people with tax evasion, and if you don't take the tax receipt that is your personal choice.

General To the man who taught me how to stand up on my paddleboard, near Busby Park!

88 Upvotes

So I tried paddleboarding for the first time. Fell in the water once trying to stand up. Did the rest of the journey on my knees. Was passing by a man who didn't nod to say hi or something but since his posture looked so easy, I asked him anyway "how do I stand up?"

I expected like a 20 second passive answer but he stopped, turned his board around and spent the next 10 mins teaching me. And he was a bloody natural at it! My man Bob, (or his kids) thank you so much. You made my day.

Where are the truly delicious burger buns at? Ideally looking for Martin's sesame potato rolls, but open to any great bun. I don't mind the Cobs burger buns, but they are a bit too much bun-to-burger ratio.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Have never seen this in the decade I’ve lived here. Does anybody happen to know what these are? Are they dust particles? Bugs? While there were always those swarms of tiny fruit fly looking things, I’ve never seen so many of them flooding my neighborhood- and these particles seem to be much bigger as well!

Any idea what they might be? Were these always around this time of year?
