Where is the best place to look for odd jobs?

I've recently purchased a trailer I plan on using primarily for camping, but I don't want it to go to waste just for that. It's a 4x6 utility trailer, and I would like to offer help with small moves here and there after work. If there's anyone that can help me find the right path to start looking that would be great. Thank you all.

Any photoshoot location recommendations- floral fields?

I’m not too familiar with the area but looking for a natural open field with wild flowers, for a photoshoot. So far it seems that conservation areas might be my best bet. Please let know if you are familiar with these parks and if you have any thoughts on which would be best, or I’m open to other options in the surrounding area!

-Island lake conservation area
-Orangeville conservation area
-Forks of the credit provincial park

Local building something and would love some Orangeville opinions

Hey everyone, I’m from Orangeville and I’ve been working on a project I wanted to share with the community.
After graduating two years ago and spending way too long applying to jobs with very little luck, I got frustrated enough to actually try and do something about it. I’m building a platform called NEXGN where instead of sending a resume you record a short video so recruiters can actually see who you are. Especially for jobs in marketing, sales, PR, anything where personality matters more than a bullet point list on a page.
Still really early and honestly just figuring it out as I go but I’d love to know if this is something people around here would actually use. Whether you’re job hunting, hiring locally or just curious I’d love the support.

if you want to check it out: https://nexgn-dtok.vercel.app

Thanks Orangeville :)

Trouble Sourcing Outward Swing Front Door

My girlfriend and I have purchased an old converted schoolhouse in the Orangeville/Shelburne region of Ontario as our new home and we need to replace the old front door. Normally we would just need a standard inward swing on a home where winter snow is a concern but as it used to be a schoolhouse and there are stairs and a landing just inside the entrance, we are forced to stick with the outward swing. There is a small vestibule to help guard against the snow and in the future we plan to add an additional external door on it but for now, one thing at a time. We're ready and able to do the work necessary but we are finding it difficult to source a left handed outswing external door that doesn't look like it's for a garage and doesn't use up all of our budget. We briefly toyed with the idea of reversing an inswing door but research confirmed that although technically possible, for the amount of work, security, and impact on weather proofing, etc. it wouldn't be practical. I'm hoping that someone might have some suggestions or potential leads on where we could find one. The standard big box outlets have minimal, if any, options available that we've found. It's a bit dark on the inside landing so we are hoping to source something simple in a shaker style with at least 1/4 lite, but preferably 1/2 to 3/4.

Alder Pump Track Update from the Town

https://preview.redd.it/z0km887uvrzg1.png?width=1461&format=png&auto=webp&s=583e2fdaadadf68b1360a8bba4c5d62b552adfb4

The Alder Pump Track is coming — and it's going to be worth the wait. 

We know many of you have been watching this project closely, and we want to be upfront about where things stand.
The track's asphalt didn't meet the quality standards we require, so we made the call to remove it and start fresh. The cost of correcting that work is being covered by the third-party contractor responsible — not by Orangeville taxpayers. That work started this spring, and we're now waiting on seasonal road restrictions to lift in early May before repaving can begin. Once the new asphalt is down, the final touches — shade shelters, line markings, signage and fencing removal — will follow.

We're aiming for a summer 2026 opening of the pump track so that it can be used and enjoyed while the weather is good.
Thank you for your patience. Our community deserves a track done right, and that's exactly what we're building

The starter motor on my 2004 S Type V8 was just spinning and not engaging the motor. Had CAA tow it to Brampton Jaguar and I believe the bumps during the tow freed up a stuck bendix gear because the dealer called to say it was starting fine with them. They found an older tech who was familiar with the model. He did a full multipoint inspection on the hoist and also checked out all the electronics. After that they hand washed the car as well. The cost for all this work and several text communications was $0. I have NEVER had such wonderful service and attention at any dealer EVER. LOUD shout out to Brampton Jaguar in Ontario Canada - what FANTASTIC service
