Mid day Gary Allen park, used to just be at night with these guys but it’s just all day they are out

It's a beautiful crip fall day everyone. Go enjoy one of our lovely natural areas before dreary November arrives.

Who can spot the heron and the salmon in the above photo?

Hi r/BurlingtonON, I’m Katy Moore, a candidate for Ward 3 City Council. Ward 3 covers Cedar Springs, Kilbride, Lowville (Rural Burlington), Brant Hills, Mountainside, and, new this election, North Tyandaga and Palmer.

Questions open Saturday, October 17 at 4 pm, and I’ll be answering throughout Sunday, October 18. Ask me anything about Ward 3, City Hall, or why I’m running. I’ll do my best to answer every question, including the tough ones. If I don’t know something, I’ll say so and follow up.

A bit about me and what I’d do as your councillor:

• Representing you: starting January 2027, I’ll hold monthly drop-ins in every part of the ward:
• 1st Wednesday: Rural Burlington
• 1st Thursday: Mountainside
• 3rd Wednesday: Brant Hills & North Tyandaga
• 3rd Thursday: Palmer

I’ll also reply to your emails within two business days.

• Oversight: asking hard questions about how the City spends your money and whether programs actually deliver.
• Making policy: bringing 30+ years of business experience to make sure our decisions work for the people they’re meant to serve.

Some things I’d especially like to hear from you about: traffic and roads, development and housing in the ward, rural Burlington’s needs, taxes, and how you’d like your councillor to stay in touch.

How to vote:
🗳️ Online voting: open now until Oct 23
📍 Advance polls: Oct 17 & 20
✅ Election Day: Oct 26

Hey Burlington!
I've had the idea for years. I would be out with some friends and would want to know who was running a wing deal...or who had half priced bottles of wine...Maybe where there was a live band playing. Something where I could even sort by my physical distance....If I am downtown I want to see all the places running deals that are nearby.

I built a solution a few years ago, and now I am releasing it for the community.

https://burlingtononabudget.com

It tracks the specials and events from pretty much every restaurant and bar in Burlington, pulled from their websites and social accounts and kept up to date.

- Tonight — what's on right now

- Sort by distance — see what's near you

- By day or by food — wings, happy hours, pizza, fish & chips, etc.

- Events — live music, DJs, trivia, karaoke

This website curates all the specials and events from every restaurant in Burlington. I check the websites and social media accounts weekly so we can see the latest and greatest deals.

This is all free for the community!

Would love to hear some feedback and open to ideas.

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback, Burlington! Already added from your comments:

- Search now finds places no matter how you spell them (jerseys → Jersey's)

- A "Near…" menu to sort by Downtown, Aldershot, Appleby, Millcroft, Alton etc. even when you're not in Burlington

- A weekly email with the best deals every Thursday

Quick links for what people asked about most:

Hi all, Frank Domenic Ward 6 candidate here.

Tomorrow an AMA will be set up with a 48 hour duration, questions can start at 3PM and I'll try to start answering questions around 8PM with responses ongoing as much as possible. My sister's wedding is Saturday, so I'll try to get to any leftover questions then in my downtime, or on Sunday morning. ​

If you have any questions or concerns you'd like to keep private you can also DM me at any time or reach me on my socials, I try to respond to all DMs there as well.

Looking for trustworthy and affordable company garage door replacement. Single car garage.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I have moved to Ontario from the East Coast. I will be registering my kid for kindergarten next year. Im still researching but if someone can please explain in layman term how the schooling works here that would be great. Is the Fraser rating any good/legit or all schools are the same? What should I be looking for in a school? How do you select after school care? Any tips regarding this is greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

I have a 2019 BMW 440i and I got in a small accident. I need a fender bumper and some other sensors. Does anyone know any shops in Burlington that can help me out?

Hey everybody, happy Friday!

Hope you're all doing better than the current weather is out there, although there is a certain fall charm to it all.

I did a podcast a few weeks back called Community Unfiltered with Justin Loncaric. We delved more into my platform and local politics than my previous podcast. This one went a bit over an hr and we had a great conversation. Justin is great for keeping it organic and on track.

My computer did conk out, but I do return after a minute or so hiatus. That's what I get for trying to run my campaign with a 40 free hours of America Online CD

If you have any follow up questions or comments from my video, I'd love to hear from you! You can leave one here or send me a private DM if you feel more comfortable.

Thanks everybody! Remember you can vote online now until next Friday October 23rd until 8pm. And please fill out the voluntary city survey afterwards, they DO wantcto hear from you and your experience voting online

Take care and have a wonderful weekend

This evening, around 5:20 p.m., I drove past a gas station near Derry Rd. & Dixie Rd. where gas was priced at 156.9¢/L. By the time I reached Burlington, I noticed a station near Walkers Line & Upper Middle Rd. charging 178.9¢/L.
That’s a 22¢/L difference. I even asked the attendant at the Burlington station, but they couldn’t explain the difference either.
I’m genuinely curious what drives this gap. Is it:
Different taxes or levies in Burlington?
Transportation and distribution costs?
Higher operating costs or rent?
Simply location-based pricing and what the market will bear?
I understand prices fluctuate and individual stations have different suppliers and margins, but a difference this large caught my attention. I work in Mississauga and I always see atleast 10-15 cents difference between Burlington and Mississauga.
Anyone familiar with how gas pricing works in Burlington specifically? Would love to understand the economics behind it rather than just speculate. Im looking at the same brand of gas stations for apples to apples comparison.

Any trusted contractor/person you would recommend to change tiles in a shower? Please recommend. TIA.

Tonight is the night!

Agree or disagree. There should be a sidewalk license requirement for people over 60 who choose to walk on sidewalks.

I use an e-scooter to get to work and have to use sidewalks because the traffic is dangerous. The amount of close calls I have is ridiculous.

What really grinds my gears is old people facing me that do not move forcing me tp make evasive maneuvers.

Share the sidewalk boomers. It's not just yours.

[UPDATE] Some confusion in responses. I'm asking for boomers to recognize we're here, we steer and we want them to move clear.

In Ottawa I have my trusty garlic and onion and Ottawa shawarma but been looking for places and am unsure where to go, especially with the reviews for every place I've looked at being very high. Even Shelby's which I found to be terrible has stellar reviews.

Bonus points if the menu has a proper croissant 🥐

I'm looking for an Interior Designer to do some renders of our main floor and give us some ideas on colours and furniture. Anyone have any recommendations and what does cost look like?

Thanks!

Is there anyway to make Palmer drive less busy?

Tough location. They started out strong but didn't keep the momentum.

Ok so these aren’t my bots they’re actually owned by https://instagram.com/renstercec
But I quite like their design and basically nothing is known about their history besides being made by Advanced Animations and most importantly to this post, according to the tokens on the small dog’s jewelry(last slide),they were installed at one of the 2 Roller Gardens locations.Either Burlington On,or Hamilton On.

Came into this sub to ask if anybody here recognizes these guys and if you know:

1)Which location were they at ?

2)Where were they in said location ?

3)When were they installed/removed ?

4)What was their showtape like?(The songs and dialogue,their personalities,voices,etc)

Just used the online voting system this year. Couldn't have been simpler.

Everything needed is on the letter you/we should have all received by now. Took a total of 2 minutes since I had already done my research.

Best of luck to your candidate. FWIW, the councillor that won my vote was campaigning out in front of a downtown business a few days ago. They spent 20 minutes with me and answered my questions well. While other candidates did hold public debates, the one I voted for made themselves available to any and all. A for effort. Let's hope they follow through, if elected, on their proposed policies.
