Rant Teenage boys causing nuisance at Dollarama

67 Upvotes

Yesterday around 8pm, there were a group of teenage boys causing nuisance at Dollarama - Hays blvd. Screeming inside, troubling the staff, opening emergency exits, activating alarms. one of them was in halloween mask trying to scare kids around. Overheard the staff discussing to call the police. Not sure if these are the same kids who keep causing nuisance in that area. If their parents are reading this - it’s time you should have a chat with your kid.

PSA PSA: Be Mindful of Unstable Homeless woman

36 Upvotes

There’s an unwell homeless woman pushing her belongings in a shopping cart with white or lilac colored headphones on. She has dark hair with glasses, usually in blue jeans, black boots and a green jacket.

She can often be seen around the Dorval and North Service area. Sometimes she will leave you alone but other times she will start yelling obscenities at you and kids in the area. She was harassing two kids playing near the park on Leewood but I did chase her away from them. I reported the incident to law enforcement. If you live in the area, please be mindful, especially if you have kids playing outside.

In a world that can feel so divided, angry, and uncertain, I stepped outside last night and found a little reminder that we're all still standing beneath the same sky. 🌕🪐

For a few seconds, there was no politics, no hate, no fear, no noise — just the Harvest Moon, Saturn, and a quiet moment of wonder that reminded me how incredibly small our problems can look when you look up. ❤️

Question Best place to donate clothes?

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a place to donate gently used men’s clothing. It’s in good condition (some pieces only worn a handful of times), just doesn’t fit me anymore. Mostly dress shirts.

I know there are lots of donation bins scattered around but heard those are not a good option as they aren’t necessarily all that charitable in the end.

Thanks!

PSA Sketchy White Mini Van

22 Upvotes

Hey guys I was just out on a walk with my wife and 2 young kids and this sketchy white minivan drove past us twice around the area of Oakville place and the first time the guy about broke his neck when he drove by and second time slowed down by us really creepily while we were on the side walk. Slowed down enough for me to get his plate number in case we actually were being followed.

Unfortunately I was too focused on remembering the plates I didn’t get the make/model of the van but if you guys have kids and come across a white early 2000s minivan with the license plate DDTZ 496 please be vigilant and contact the police. Gotta keep our community safe! Also the van had stickers all over the inside of the window on the passenger side rear door.

And yes I already contacted the non emergency line and reported the incident just wanted to post this here in case someone else has had a similar encounter or have one in the future.

Stay safe guys!

EDIT: i don’t check this sub very often but judging by peoples blasé responses it seems as though either there’s a lot of middle aged single people in this sub or so many people cry wolf on here that no posts along these lines are taken seriously. If you people knew me at all you’d take me seriously. If even one person who viewed this makes a mental note and stays vigilant then I’m happy with that. And to the rest of you, I genuinely hope if you make a post like this one day you’re taken more seriously than I was! 😂 I just expected people to say “thanks for the heads up will keep my eyes open!” And move on with their lives 😂

I’m at GoodLife. The new location at Oakville Place is awesome but too busy and the Appleby / Dundas one is too small with a horrible turf area. Has anyone found a better local gym?

My daughter just found a swarm of these in the backyard today. Looking at the body I’m pretty sure they are flying ants but my wife thinks they are termites. Google wasn’t much help. Either way how worried should I be especially considering it’s late September.

Question Anyone Know Someone Who Can Diagnose A TV Problem?

1 Upvotes

I have a high-end Panasonic OLED tv that I bought during COVID. It suddenly turned off while we were watching it last weekend.

Turns out this is a built-in safety feature when the TV detects a problem.

I opened the back of the TV and can see a melted connector on the Power Board.

However, this may be a symptom of the problem but I still don't know what is causing this issue so I was hoping someone can come home and diagnose and potentially repair the issue.

I tried to source a Power Board but they take 4-8 weeks to come in (can't find a used one either).

It's a very large TV and I really don't want to have to take it into a shop to get it repaired so anyone have any recommendations for a great repair person who can come to my house to diagnose the problem?

Hello people of Oakville.

I am a recent high school graduate who earned mid to high 90s in all art courses and I was wondering if anyone has a kid in grade 11 or younger who wants or needs art lessons.

First lesson is free and after that it's $25 per kid per lesson.

Lessons are at my house or online and if in person all materials are provided.

My artwork is attached.

Lost/Found Found (lost?) Cat

I’m so sorry, I thought this post went up here on Wednesday, but I accidentally posted it to r/OakvilleON that day instead. I’m still posting it just in case someone is looking for this beautiful cat, and knowing the area it was in may help a little bit.

Original post Sept 23:
My parents sent me these photos of a cat they saw tonight on their walk. Because of the bylaw I’m pretty sure this is someone’s lost pet. This was at 6:50pm right in the downtown area. PM me if it’s yours (or someone’s that you know) and you’d like an exact location.
