Blueberries, not so good

With the heavy ice this winter and now heavy caterpillar infestation, many blueberry plants are completely stripped of leaves, it's going to be a tough year for blueberries. Picture of my favourite patch last year to what it looks like today.

Retail store contractors?

Looking at opening a store, and the location will need quite a lot of work. Electrical, flooring is a mix of carpet, and tiles and needs taken up and replaced. Lighting, painting.

I guess I just need a regular contractor?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also slat wall, anyone know where I can get it cheap?

Laurentian University's cutting of the Intermediate & Senior Teacher Education stream was probably one of their worst decisions, especially now with a teacher shortage. (open discussion)

So I'm a prospective LU student, and I start in September 2027. After my 3-year BSc in Interdisciplinary Science, I will then pursue a Bachelor of Education (in French) with a goal of being a high school biology and chemistry teacher.

It would've been so much easier pre-2021, when they had a designed teacher education stream offered in Intermediate & Senior Divisions (Grades 7-12)

Now, you need to do your base qualification in Junior & Intermediate divisions (Grades 4-10), then take ADDITIONAL qualification courses that are almost $800 per course to get your qualification in the senior division.
Teachers are needed in all streams, not just Junior & Intermediate Divisions. It's an inconvenience, especially being one of the few universities that offer a French BEd program...

This is dumb, and I can't be the only one to feel this way, and it breaks me that I'll need to spend extra money over and above my tuition to get the same qualifications I could've gotten in 2021 but faster.

Power cuts out everyday for a minute.

Live on Oak street. Our power shuts off every single day for a minute and then comes back on, sometimes even in the middle of the night. Anyone else experiencing this? Wtf is going on.

Tired of waking up to all my lights on at 3AM.

I don't know if this is the right platform to ask but can anyone tell me the title of the song that was played during the drone show in bell Park on Canada day. I am unable to find it and somehow the tone is stuck in my head

Driving to Toronto Tomorrow , can offer 2 seats to Toronto and back.

As the title says, I will be driving to Toronto tomorrow to drop my mom and can take up to 2 additional passengers (the back seat is completely empty and can fit up to 3 but taking 2 just for comfort). Can drop off anywhere within city limits, preferably west end or even Brampton/Mississauga. I have set the price of 60$/seat one way. Can negotiate if you are willing to do the roundtrip. Will leave Sudbury around 8 and return at 5 but can push back if you want to return at a later time.

Difficult Hiking Recommendations

Hey guys, could you suggest some difficult hikes around Sudbury? I’m looking for a hike that I can do in a day and be back home in Sudbury by nighttime. I’ve already done The Crack in Killarney, Kivi park and the Cup and Saucer Trail; they didn't feel that hard, but I enjoyed the adventure. Thanks in advance!😀

Water bill

All of my previous dwellings have been all inclusive but I’m a homeowner now. My water bill is 88-100$ a month. I was talking about this with some friends and they think it’s off. I’m not complaining about the amount but I’m just curious as to if it seems a little high to anyone else? I know with the gas bill they itemize at the service fees which makes me understand (and roll my eyes at) the bill. I guess I’m wondering if the water bill I’m seeing is purely the consumption/disposal, if there are other fees or if 100$ for the usage I have is normal.

The plumbing in this home is brand new and I don’t have any leaking faucets anywhere.
Single person in a home
4-6 laundry loads a month
Runs dishwasher once sometimes twice a week
Regular daily dishes but never draw a full sink.
Shower 15-20 mins x 4- 6 times a month (I have to shower for after work everyday andtake my extra long ones there)

Fireworks

Just got home from the fireworks display at science north. Got there early and had a nice spot up by the lake, then the fireworks started and they’re going off over by the idlewylde and half of it wasnt visible above the treeline. I thought they shot them off on the water or at the yacht club? I mean we still could see most of it, but I couldn’t help but wonder, who is this for? Everyone was assembled around Ramsey, and the fireworks were way over there. Anyone up on the hill at science north, were you able to see the fireworks?

One piece tcg?

Hey!

Just wondering if anyone knows where to get one piece TCG singles, boxes, and booster packs locally? No one seems to carry it. Thanks!

(I know about diadem, eb games, showcase and great Canadian. They just seem to be always out of stock or way overpriced.)

Sudbury's Subpar Canada Day celebrations

Canada Day celebrations in Sudbury fall short yet again.

They advertise on the website a big kid zone. All that was was 2 bouncy houses surrounded by 100 vendors. No big band playing for headliner. Barely any people there. Fireworks were in a different spot and really low.

Sigh..why is it year after year I see this celebration getting crappier and crappier? Would love to talk about it. I would like to hear peoples opinions on this

Minnow lake 40ish

Shoutout to anyone in Minnow Lake dealing with adult friend-making struggles. Wife is out with her friends tonight, which is great, but it hits me sometimes. I'm not jealous of her going out, I'm just envious because I never built up that kind of social circle for myself. Making friends later in life is rough.

Grocery Food Delivery

Hi everyone!

I was wondering what grocery delivery services are popular in Sudbury. I'll be moving there for school and won't have a car, so with a busy schedule I may need to have groceries delivered from time to time.

Do people typically use Instacart, Walmart delivery, or something else? Any recommendations or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
