Hey ,

So I have Wednesdays off this summer time . Wondering if anyone wants to get out on the trails for walks to. Just looking to get out more. Been in a bit of a rut with lacking motion to exercise.

Thanks again

Anyone else getting tornado alerts? Amber Alerts?

What are y’all’s honest opinions on working at Costco because I hate it lol

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for your support and providing suggestions on my last post. We have officially set up the pilot version of our curated local food directory right here in Brantford!

Instead of opening it to everyone at once, we’re starting with a founding group of 50 independent Brantford‑area food makers. Two of those founding spots are already filled, so we are looking to map out the remaining 48!

Just to be clear on the rules: no fast‑food chains and no corporate franchises- this is strictly for the people cooking, baking, growing, and creating right here in the community.

This directory is meant to be a simple, central place where residents can discover local makers and reach them directly. There are no fees, no commissions, and no fine print. If you already have a website, your listing also gives you a helpful local SEO backlink.

Now I need your help filling the map.

Who are the hidden‑gem micro‑bakers, home-cook, small‑batch sauce makers, food trucks, or backyard growers that deserve to be included? If you know someone who makes great food, I want to make sure they’re not overlooked.

Feel free to tag your favourites below. And if you are one of our local makers, you can claim one of the first curated spots. Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for helping build something useful for the community.

UPDATE: Thank you for the excellent list of recommendations, Brantford. To ensure accuracy and streamline the process, we are compiling your suggestions and cross-referencing them on Instagram/Facebook to build out the master directory list. Please continue to drop your favourites below, we are actively tracking every response. Thank you for your continued support in building this resource. 👇🍁

Hi doing my g2 in Brantford within the next few weeks. Can someone please tell me the driving test route, as well as the speed limits everywhere. Coming from Toronto, long drive looking to get it right away. Thank you

We recently moved here and have to get our 70lb dog neutered end of the summer. Good pricing is nice! Thank you!

It's locked to a pole near a gas station and I don't have any way to get tools to break the lock. I don't want to lose my bike but I can't resolve the issue on my own. What can I do? Am I just screwed?

I might have proof of ownership from videos or photos of it. I don't know anyone who can help me.

How can I break the lock? I really don't want to leave my bike there over night..

I don’t mind neighbours who discreetly enjoy a backyard campfire. Heck I’ll throw a log in the Solo stove every so often myself. However, lately I’ve been watching flames rising above the near neighbour’s six foot high privacy fence. How high should the flames be allowed to ascend before the Brantford Fire Department is notified?

My bike is stuck locked to a pole at a gas station. The combination locks have a design flaw that makes it easy to reset the combination when trying to lock it, essentially meaning you can accidently lock yourself out very easily. I have no way to get it off and no proof of ownership. Am I screwed?

It seems like all of their original staff left one day and were replaced right away with new people

Has anyone ever rented an apartment through this company called ready for rent ? How’s the management? How are they? Are they responsive after you pay rent and shift ?
