Alone for thanksgiving in Whitby. Anyone know where to get free or cheap thanksgiving?

Can’t make it to my mom’s since dad passed. And am not asking for a handout at all. Just wondering if there are any good options people know about? I’d normally ask my caseworker but of course they are closed. Sorry if this breaks any rules.

Happy thanksgiving :)

Whitby to Mississauga commute for work

Whitby to Mississauga commute 2 days a week
Looking for advice from people who commute from Whitby to Mississauga for work 2 days a week.

What options do you use - driving, GO Train, or a combination?

How long does the commute usually take, and is it manageable doing it twice a week?

Would love to hear from people who are actually doing this commute.
Thanks!

Suggestions for a place for a Friday afternoon pint?

Hey everyone.

We're a group of 7-8 guys (dads) who try to meet up every Friday afternoon for a pint or 2. So far, we've been to Copper Key and the Town Brewery both in Whitby. Looking for a similar spot in either Whitby or Brooklin.

Quick Google search landed on 3 options: 1.) Beertown Whitby 2.) 5 Paddles in Whitby 3.) Banter & Co. in Brooklin.

Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome. Thank you!

ETA: Thank you for all the responses! For this time, we're going with Beertown in Whitby, but look forward to trying out all the other suggestions in the weeks ahead!

What are the chances a large venue (can hold up to 300 people) would still be available to book for December?

I know most corperates book them a year in advance, but my company merged and doubled our personnel recently so we need to change venues last minute. Does anyone know any venues with large capacities still available for an office Christmas party?
