E-bikes and e-scooters on park trails

I was caught off guard by two guys, one adult and onr kid, zipping through a woodland trail on an e- bike and e-scooter after sunset at Bronte Creek Provincial Park yesterday. I think they assumed nobody would be walking at that time. I could hear them coming and could step off the trail but it was really unnerving. There goes any chance of watching wildlife. Even 30 min later, I could still hear them at a distance in other areas of the park. Look I know everyone has a hate on for ebikes/scooters and we know they are technically illegal to use in the park and on the trails. So I get that they are itching to find a place to zoom around but listen my dudes, this is not where it is at.

Anyone else have similar experiences or have input (even different opinions). Do share.

Assisted living retirement home

Hi! I am looking for recommendations for a private retirement home that has an advanced level of care. My dad is in a retirement home right now and needs a lot of help due to dementia and physical limitations. Unfortunately the dementia makes him pretty difficult and the retirement home he is in will not willing to work with him anymore. He isnt violent but he is difficult. He is demanding and gets agitated and cant stick to a psw schedule. Like if he is supposed to get a shower at 2 pm on wednesdays, he wants them to reschedule to tomorrow at 3 pm and then he takes his sweet time getting up from his chair while the psw is standing there knowing she only has 30 min and this guy is barely moving. There are other things too like he pees himself all the time. So we are ready for a move to a place with a higher level of care. But I am also interested in negative responses too (like stay away from xxx).

Youth and burlington/go transit

I have a 14 year old and a 12 year old who want to take the bus to McDonald's.some parents tell me they can ride the bus free but I cant find any info like that online. This is what it says:

Youth: 13 to 19: $2.00. Youth ride for free on weekdays after 20 taps in a calendar month and ride free weekdays after 6 p.m. and on weekends 

Children: 12 and under: Free when travelling with a parent or guardian

So does that mean youth rise free on weekends and after 6 on weekdays? Or do they need to get a 20 tap minimum?

It also says I can take the a presto pass to shoppers drugmart with my kid and their ID to get the card adjusted to youth. Is it really any shoppers drugmart.
