Wheelchair donations?
My mother passed recently. She was in a long term care facility and rarely left the building. She left behind a mint condition manual tilt wheelchair. Wondering if any place takes donations for those in need. I've learned facebook marketplace does not allow the selling of wheelchairs so I'm fairly stuck.
History Help
Can anyone remember what used to be in the building of Nortenos Taqueria? What were the name of the bars that were there beforehand?
This guy has taken matters into his own hands and I for one support him.
Mediaeval Faire Booth Cost
I’m thinking of running a booth next year but I’m not sure how much the booth cost is. Do any of the vendors want to share some words of wisdom?
We made an online service that updates the best food deals twice everyday 🍕
Hey Thunder Bay! 🍕 We made https://tbayeats.ca/ to make finding a good food deal easier, whether it's lunch, dinner or meal for the family/friends.
We check restaurant promotions, daily specials and menu websites, then update our best picks twice a day. The deals are in one place and sorted by food type, so you can spend a couple of minutes browsing instead of 15–20 minutes jumping between websites.
Take a look next time you’re deciding what to eat, and share it with anyone who loves a good deal!
Made in Thunder Bay for Thunder Bay. Spent 2 weeks on it, and tried to make it as mobile friendly as possible, but any suggestions/inputs are welcome and would be implemented in 1-2 days.
Moving from Thunder Bay To Calgary. Need help
Does anybody know of a moving company that can transport both my belongings and my car from here to Calgary?
So far, my plan is to move during the first week of December. I am thinking of taking everything to Winnipeg, from there use U-Haul U-Boxes to ship my things to Calgary, and then driving my car the rest of the way there.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please let me know. Thank you!
Classic Dirty Delete Re: Vets in Tbay
Of course this post got deleted after she was getting absolutely ripped in the comments. This page never ceases to amaze me. Honestly so tired of hearing about people bashing the lack of vets we have in Thunder Bay. Yeah it sucks but it has been an issue for a very long time. No wonder nobody wants to work here
EDIT: I have said I recognize it is in issue in this post. I am just sick of people bitching about the VETS specifically. They are leaving, quitting and taking their lives because of people who say things like this. I’m not ignoring the fact that there is a shortage. Our vets are overworked and doing the best 👏 they 👏 can 👏
UPDATE : I built the app that you guys wanted the most, Tbay.Events is live.
Hii, last week i made a post asking yall whats one app you wish existed for tbay, and the top upvoted comment was for an event site that compiles all the events around thunder bay in one place.
Original Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThunderBay/comments/1ws5072/thunder_bay_whats_one_app_you_wish_existed_bored/?sort=top
So here's what i built for that, Tbay.events . It compiles event details from like 30 different sources and puts it all in one place for yall.
Feel free to check it and let me know if you guys have any feedback
