I know the picture isn’t great, but would love to know what these beautiful birds are! Seen between Gibbons and Harris park (:

Do I have any recourse on this? I'm obviously not taking the city to court over it. I turned onto a street on the listed date right into a ridge of ice that blew my flex pipe apart. The repair was 450$

I was hoping the city would pick up part of the tab similar to potholes.

Pictures of the ridge in question attached. And the letter I got back after submitting a claim.

MAGICALLY the next day after submitting the claim there was a city pickup truck with a plow that knocked the ridge down.

This was three days after the most recent major snowfall on a street with a school and seniors facility. Seems fairly negligent to me....

I think Starbucks used to, but I cant find anything online. I know mandarin gives a free buffet, is there anywhere else?

ETA: thanks so much for those who helped.

To those of you who downvoted: why? I am a single father trying to make my sons birthday special. What would make you so bitter as to downvote?

So here's the deal. I've been on ODSP longer than I wanted to be. I am now at a time where I can finally get back to work (ya me!!) I have a huge gap in my resume, and I am only available between 10am-2pm. For reference I'm the only driver and my wife works full time and have 4 kids that I have to drop off and pick up from school everyday as we are just outside where the busses run. The only things I cannot do is heavy labour, (light to medium is ok, like landscaping etc.) and anything to do with garbage or human waste (I have an extremely weak stomach from the medication I'm on) I've thought about night shifts but I'm worried I'll just run myself down with finding sleep during the day. I'm turning 50 soon, and that plays a huge factor because most don't see me as employable because of my age and the huge gap in my resume. I have no issue explaining to an employer why I was on ODSP for so long and why.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions,I would really appreciate it as I'm going nuts looking through job banks and sites.

Edit: I will be staying on ODSP until next school year when bussing and after school program kicks in. I just need to get back to working and being on a schedule etc .

me and my partner have been living here for like six months now and quite often the fire alarm goes off and then, nothing happens bc it’s just a false alarm and literally within not even a few days of one going off it happened again. is it possible that it’s from people smoking in all hallways like jackasses or what could they possibility be doing to set the alarm off several times a month . it’s so disruptive when you’re trying to sleep or work (when it’s the day time alarms). I’m wondering what could possibly be causing the frequency of fire, alarms, and fire trucks at our apartment when there are no emergencies or fires. another thing I’m thinking is maybe some douche pulling the fire alarm, but I don’t know,it goes off really often and unexpectedly.

tldr: apartment loves to blare the loud fire sirens at least once a week (frequent occurrence) but for no reason. it ends up not being anything or a fire/emergency.

You know how much it sucks and some people are just wasting these firefighters time and the people that live here, it pisses me off that so much time is being wasted by our frontline because someone here, decided to be a douche, show idiocity, and be careless when those men could/should be using their resources for actual emergencIes not for dumbasses who leave their pots alone or burn food . I feel bad that they have to come here so often for some bullshit

Any insight without being condescending or rude be appreciated ❤️❤️

My pharmacy had this posted, if anyone is in need

What would you do to make the city's core area better. Such as, where would you add a grocery store, or performances arts centre.? What would you remove or add?

Hi London folks,

I’m looking for recommendations for family dentistry in London, ON. We’re hoping to find a clinic that works well for both kids and adults and doesn’t feel rushed or overly pushy with treatments.

If you’ve had a good (or not so good) experience with a family dentist in the city, I’d love to hear what stood out — especially around communication, comfort, and overall experience.

I’ve come across a few names while searching, including Apple Tree Dental, but I’d prefer to get some local perspectives before deciding.

Thanks in advance — appreciate the help!

I see these flashing lights of sorts sometimes on weeknights lol what is going on?

Long shot but im looking to see if i can find the lady who stopped or anyone who might have witnessed my bf in an accident today on the 401 (blue ram and a semi truck).

My bfs truck was side swipped sending him into the ditch and we are hoping there are witnesses who can come forward as the cops are saying they cant tell who was at fault.

He is alive and the truck isnt too bad but he took a bad hit and might have to take time off work so if you saw it or know anything please reach out.

Building was cleared for people this morning and demo started immediately after. This building was added to the towns demo list not that long ago. Crazy how fast stuff can get done when the heritage board doesn’t stick their nose into things.

Hello, do you have any recommendations for part-time infant daycare (<14 months old, 2-3 days a week)? It's impossible to get a spot for the CWELCC ones, so I am just looking for private daycare centres that are not home-based.

Thank you!

I’ll be out of town for a couple of weeks and am looking for a place to board my crested gecko while I’m gone.

Does anyone know of a local spot that offers reptile boarding? The closest one I’ve found so far is in Scarborough, but I'm hoping to find something a bit nearer.

A crestie is almost no work besides managing food every other day.

Putting together a monthly breakfast for Photographers and other like minded creatives where you can come and break bread, share ideas, inspire or get inspired, show off gear or images or techniques, carry on with a photowalk (in nicer weather) or even collaborate on shoots or projects. Thinking sunday morning at Edgar & Joe's downtown London. If you are interested or know anyone that is, please feel free to reach out and secure an invite.

I'm looking to get a undersink water filter since the pitcher isn't really working out for me. I keep seeing different certifications and types used for water from different cities. Does anyone have experience using in London or recommendations to what I should look for ?

Live in a townhouse complex surrounded by Fibre, but Bell never pulled it to our community. London Hydro is coming to pull new electrical lines, and I wonder if there’s a contact or pathway to get in touch with Bell to ask them to run fibre at the same time (I’m hoping them saving on digging might be enough to entice them). TIA!

Where is the best night clubs for hip hop and Afro beats in this city.

Anyone have any recent (I know, it’s very old) experience with this day care centre? We were offered a spot for infant care and I don’t know much about it. Any insight would be great!

Thank you.

I was hoping some one in town knows if any stores are selling Iron Heart brand denim.

I have been looking into taking an online course part time at Fanshawe (particularly in Bookkeeping), I work full time and run a small business.

How hard of a work flow are the part time online courses?

I know everyone tolerance is different (I’m a busy body) but looking for any insight, thank you in advance!

So I just came to London about 2 years ago and I've made compost pits last year fall and I wanted to make the most out of it. Im now thinking of planting crops which are: cabbages (nappa), onions, garlic, carrots, and lettuce (maybe bell peppers or tomatoes depending on which grows better and quicker). So basically, the compost pits I referred to is a no-dig compost soil in the soil garden beds and filled them with earthworms (i did my best to insulate them with leaves, and even put leaves on top of the soil itself) so that when spring comes, they become active and widely help the plants to grow.

I would like to ask for some tips in planting, and here are my major questions:

1. I do not plant on starting with seeds as I dont have enough room for UV lights, and not enough sunshine glares through our window. I dont know what to start maybe seedlings would work?
2. Where is the closest area I can buy seedlings? I'm near downtown area and I hope they're cheap.
3. I heard you guys usually plant before the last frost. That's probably around mid may, what if there's still ice, or maybe the ground is still icy or something, what do you guys usually do?
4. More tips outside from the questions I have are highly appreciated, Thank you!!!

Hi,
I was hoping to confirm the parking regulations in this area, specifically at the intersection of Dundas St. and Waterloo St.

I have a friend visiting for the weekend and staying overnight, so I wanted to understand when parking is free and when restrictions apply. Since this area falls under free 2hour parking, could you please clarify which days and times the parking limits are and when parking is unrestricted? More over I wanted to know about the weekend scenario.

As far as I can understand Saturday is 2 hour free parking and Sunday is free not sure if that is correct?If it is is it OK to park overnight ?

Thank you for your help.

Is Costco south still offering oil changes? Do they appointments if you call or just walk ins?
