Hey everyone! My name is Erika 24 (f) and i’ve been fighting the good fight when it comes to this finding a job thing. I got let go from my admin assistant job and ever since it feels like it’s impossible to become employed again. I’m not even picky when it comes to work, so long as the pay is decent. Indeed feels like it’s just a pointless app now. The only people that seem to give me interviews are the devil corp sales companies with no base pay. That’s not going to work for me. I’ve gone to websites, and i’ve called in. apparently nobody’s hiring or I need to visit the website.. I’m getting depressed. I’m going to trade school in the new year but until then I need some sort of income.

I have loads of experience in account management and customer service roles. I’ve also dabbled in sales, hospitality, and even nannying. Does anyone know of any opportunities?

Never had any wasp issues in my backyard in the past and they never bothered me during all my summers there. But this year, we’ve got two nests in the backyard and one on the front already.

Raid/Ortho/Wilson foam doesn’t work even if I followed the instruction 100% and had to call exterminator. These mf literally got submerged in the foam and flew away a few minutes later like nothing happened. Plus, I’ve noticed wasps flying around everywhere I go, even in public parks and courts. The other day, I was biking down the street and one even followed me. Meanwhile I don't see the lovely bees anymore in my garden!

Any opinions about downsizing from River Oaks to a new build in Milton? What is the Go Milton like to Union Station? Mortgage will also be paid off before moving.

North on Neyagawa and Upper Middle. Aug 19 @ 645pm. Cop clearly texting and driving (car # 6646), swerving between lane markers. Another cop car pulled up behind the first car, seemed like it was just providing cover and creating distance with other cars.

What’s the play in this situation? Honk? Video evidence and file a complaint?

Hey, y'all. I'm looking for a store in or around Oakville that sells strong mini-magnets. The kind that can be used on clothing. I have a pin that broke, and I'd like to use a magnet to keep it on my vest. You know, one magnet on one side, and one on my vest. Staples, maybe? Thanks.

Hi, looking at Real Estate in the area. Why does it seem like Bronte Home prices are less than Burlington despite being located in Oakville ( thought this was supposed to be more desirable)… Can someone explain what’s the catch with Bronte?

I mean this with no offence..just trying to learn about the areas!

Note: exclusively looking at detached homes south of the QEW

Hi everyone, I’m from Montreal, but I have a question. For a couples years, I used to go visit a close friend who was living in Oakville at that time. He made me discover the Niblick pub on Upper middle rd e, if my memories serves me well. I had never eat a nachos that tasty (the Niblick nacho) who I think was serve with ground meat, chicken and slice of steak. Every single time I had visit my friend, we went there cause their nachos were mental!

I know the place is closed since a few months, but was I the only one that litteraly fall in love with those nachos, cause I have never been able to find nachos that was even close, in Montreal or surronding area!

So I kind of wonder if I was the only one whoe them that much!

Thanks! And have a great evening!

I know it sounds like an ad but I am just sharing a good food deal for my fellow foodies.

If you are craving a good burger. They are selling a burger, seasoned fries and a can of pop for $10.

I went in, expecting a junior chicken tier product but it tastes so good. (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of starting my own tax and accounting practice. I have a strong technical background as a CPA and previously worked as a financial auditor for the federal government. I'm confident in the technical side, but I'm realizing that's only part of being a great accountant.
I'd love to hear from business owners, employees, and anyone who's worked with an accountant.

What do you actually look for in an accountant?

What do you wish your current or past accountant did differently?

What frustrates you about the experience?

My goal is to build a firm that feels modern, approachable, responsive, and genuinely helpful, not just someone you hear from once a year at tax time.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hii! I'm 23F and fairly new to Oakville, and I'd love to meet some new people and make genuine female friendships.

A little bit about me- I love reading, watching shows/movies, music, exploring new places and going for walks. Would lovee to meet new people who are interested in doing things together and have deep conversations with:)

We could grab a coffee and walk by the lakes, check out local events together, maybe even have a book/movie night or even organizing small group social events.

If there are other women around my age looking for genuine friendships, feel free to comment here or DM me:)

Looking for a place that serves traditional matcha, ideally properly whisked matcha with water, without syrups, fruit purées, strawberry foam, etc.

I want to try matcha on its own before diving into all the fun flavoured versions. Any recommendations?

I am close to needing to repave my driveway and I was wondering what people, around Oakville, are paying to have it done.

I have an asphalt driveway about 2 cars wide. I was thinking of using geocells underneath to help the new driveway last longer.

Has anyone recently repaved their driveway? And if so, could you share how much you spent?

Thanks!

Recently moved to the GTA and am looking for a new salon. I’ve been getting balayage and highlights for years and am willing to spend a good chunk of money on my hair when done well. Back home, we had Citizen Salon and Union which were a collection of independent stylists that were the “go to” well known stylists in the city. Not sure where to even start looking here.

Anyone have a stylist they love at a clean, trendy salon? Preferably Burlington, Oakville, edge of Mississauga.
