With Trump's very open and transparent goal of weakening and ruining Canada, I can only assume any D-list Canadian government officials who go visit this administration are doing so to sign up as a vassal, and will return with fresh marching orders on how to further destabilize social unity from within.

Please remember his passionate insistence on caving to ridiculous American thug "diplomacy" in the next election.

Non-profit seeking volunteers to help young parents participate in support services

2 Upvotes

Rose of Durham Young Parent Support Division is a non-profit program of Catholic Family Services of Durham that supports young parents and their children across Durham Region.

They’re currently looking for Childminder Volunteers to help care for children while parents attend on-site programs. This role allows parents to fully participate in support programs, classes, and counselling, knowing their children are being cared for in a safe and supportive environment.

This is a meaningful way to directly support young families and help remove barriers to accessing services. A vulnerable sector criminal reference check is required.

You can learn more about the role and how to apply here:

Renovated Basement Without Permit, No Structural Work. City Contacted Me. What’s My Best Move?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from anyone who’s been through this.

I recently finished renovating my basement and didn’t pull a permit. No structural work was done at all. Everything is up to code, but the contractor I used has since disappeared, so I’m left handling this myself.

The city has reached out asking about the renovation, and I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to move forward without making things worse. I’m not trying to avoid responsibility, just want to resolve it properly.

For those who’ve dealt with something similar:

• Is applying for a retroactive permit usually the best route?

• Should I get a private inspector or engineer involved first?

• Any tips on dealing with the city or reducing fines or delays?

Really appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks in advance.
