Young children at dog parks

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.

Potential move from Toronto

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?

Any recommendations for semen analysis for fertility in the area?

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!

Punctured scooter tire

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 😊

Window glass repair / replacement

Looking for recommendations for a local company that can replace or repair glass (at a reasonable cost in a small window in our home. This window is in our basement so I don’t look at it every day, but I would still like to get it fixed.🙂

Best dry cleaner for wedding dress?

I was looking online and Parker’s on New St seems to have good reviews but just wanted to check here if anyone has used them to dry clean a wedding dress and what the cost was, or if there are other places that are recommended instead.
