Hey r/NorthBay,

With online voting closing up on October 26, I know a lot of people are trying to cut through the campaign noise, flyers, and endless back-and-forth claims to figure out where everyone actually stands.

Since the official city tools can feel pretty bare-bones when you're trying to do genuine research, The North Bay Files is fully up and running to make it easier. It’s an independent, non-partisan tracker putting all mayoral and council candidate platforms, promises, and historical voting records into one clean, searchable place.

No spin, no ad-cluttered polls, just the verifiable data so you can make an informed choice before you cast your ballot this week.

Take a look here: https://thenorthbayfiles.ca/candidate-promises-2026/

Feel free to share it with anyone else who's still trying to finalize their ballot before the deadline! 🗳️

I moved to North Bay a couple of months ago and people say the winter here reaches negative 50 and snows pile up to your knees. Ive heard that the winter this year wouldnt be as bad but I am curious how commuters do their daily/weekly/monthly groceries during this season. How do you plan for it? Is there a strategy (LOL) or do you just order a delivery service? Thank you for the insights!

Anyone in sturgeon falls know anywhere thats hiring night for a shift with little to no experience?

Toddler cut their finger with a knife (I know…). Where can I go to get this dressed that is not the ER? Where we lived before this service was available at pharmacies, is that available at pharmacies in North Bay too?

If y'all haven't made it over to the Halloween display over on Prince Edward Drive then I would say do it. They are collecting food donations as payment to go through which is a wonderful thing they are doing for the community. Friday and Saturday nights they have it open. Super cool people. Great set up and for a great cause. We have some great people in this city.

I’m trying to surprise my girlfriend with a nice dinner but she’s severely allergic to nuts. We’ve eaten at Boston pizza but that’s it so far. I’m looking to see where anyone else with allergies finds its safest and places to avoid entirely. Thanks!

We are trying to find a snow removal company to do our driveway this winter, but we are having trouble finding someone that will service our area. We are up Thibault Hill kind of near the canine proficiency center, but most services stop right at cedar heights. We had Garland snow removal service last year but I guess they are just doing commercial jobs this year, so we are looking into other options.

If anyone has any leads, we would really appreciate it. 🙏

Where is a good place around North Bay to set up a small telescope??

DON'T DUMP IT. RECYCLE IT RESPONSIBLY.

I am looking for sober, clean and grounding events that are small with a level of growing intimacy and authentic connection.

Is anyone interested in a song circle? Drop your favourite shower song if so! We’ll do one wild send off together.

I come from a strange place where there are regular earthly song circles and really miss them. There is some training to potenize the work but I don’t think it’s entirely necessary. I’ve been to beautiful circles without it and do have experience leading community groups as well as grounded and wholesome ice breakers for group coherence.

Singing together can regulate the nervous system, boost confidence, balance the throat chakra, and just bring about general joy. Singing your name is singing your soul back into body, doing it with others is training safety into your spirit and helps vitality with community support for all of life’s journey.

Cost: free or by donation

When: New Moon (November 9th)

Where: if there is somewhere with a fire, I think we should do that as long as it’s not freezing. Otherwise we’ll find somewhere affordable to have some new moon fun.

This is my only social media so we can make a Redditors grassroots garage choir that meets by the river in the summer (no one is seeing you and what happens in the group stays in the group) Serious inquiries only. No experience necessary. I am a proficient shower singer and nothing more :)

Who wants to sing songs on this Friday night-Sarurday morning?

Very well said Jamie.

Hello - I just found out I am pregnant and started looking for an OBGYN in North Bay.

I am looking for recommendations, preferably female.

Any insight is appreciated

Hi all, the last class booked up quick, so get your free tickets ASAP. Click image above

Located about 30 minutes north of the Bay. We don't have a vehicle capable of towing the pontoon boat. The person that usually helps us each year passed away.

Anyone know of a service, or interested in making a few bucks themselves?
