r/Cobourg

Hey good morning I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the summer.

I sat and thought about making a post like this for awhile now and finally said what the heck, what’s the worst could happen?

So folks what I’m looking for is anyone who would like to meet for coffee a few times a week or even once and bring a book/e-reader to just have some conversation, coffee and enjoy reading. I’m a female in my early forties who’s a mom of a teenager now so I’ve got a bit more time to do something for me. I have made one lovely friend off here so once in awhile when he’s got the time he will join me. We don’t have to make this expensive as I’m fine with Tim Hortons as an option since my recent outings have been up to $7 for a coffee, which isn’t very affordable if I want to meet more than once a week.

If you would be interested feel free to comment or just send me a message.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good handyman/woman for basic round the house jobs? Thank you!

The instructions online are extremely unclear and all the map links are dead so we're going to a municipal lot but for next time:

1. Which parts of Cobourg are considered downtown?

2. Do you need to order a visitor pass if you're staying less than 3 hours?

3. Which zones can you actually book pay for using the Honk app and which require a permit from the city (there is Honk signage everywhere)

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Rachel Epstein!

Does anyone in Cobourg or surrounding towns know a reliable Volkswagen mechanic? I’m tired of getting rinsed at the dealer every time I bring my car in. I understand it’s a “speciality” vehicle but it’s becoming too aggressive.

How does one make friends as an introvert, very lonely LOL

Hello there,

I have a construction company and I’m looking for one worker who will work hard next to me for a long period of time.

I’m tired of people to come in and work just long enough to get money for dope. I need someone who wants to work and turn this into a career.

Many of our days are long and involved driving longer distances to jobs all around southeastern Ontario. You will be paid for your hard work and for the commute time over an hour which I think is fair.

We build Steel Buildings, such as new buildings for things such as Walmarts, dollar stores, etc., etc., of all different sizes.

I’m looking for someone that’s willing to learn and short reliably. Every day is the probably the biggest point in my search. A reliable person is more valuable being reliable than having a higher skill level, but both would be nice.

Do you guys know anyone?

We’re looking all for general construction knowledge. We also do residential construction, probably 60/40 split between Steel buildings and residential construction.

I’m looking for work in cobourg, but I’m curious if there is anywhere I should absolutely stay away from. I’ve heard horror stories from a few businesses ..
any help is appreciated.

Construction fencing went up yesterday- does anyone know what is going on there? There is nothing on the town's official development page for that address.
