Ellis’ Kitchen in Hamilton has always been a favourite. Looking for recommendations in Brantford as we now live in Jerseyville.

In between my eyebrows is in need of botox, would be my first time getting botox so i want to go to a very highly educated injector somone who’s been doing it for YEARS!
Please share your recommendations, thank you!

Is there anybody hiring right now that isnt posted online?

Our garage door is having some struggles. Can anyone recommend someone who does good work at fair prices?

As you may have guessed from the “Gen X” in my name, I’m a bit of an old geeze. When I got my driver’s license there were only two Drivers Ed courses in town.

My son turns 16 this year so I started looking and holy guacamolé, there are SOOOO many places now 🤣

So hoping that some of you who have had kids go through a course, or if you are a yoing whipper-snapper who has taken a course, you could let me know your thoughts, impressions, and cost of the place you dealt with.

Thanks so much 🤘

My grandmother is in hospice, she may have a couple of weeks left. Her request is to have bagpipes played at her wake or funeral, my mother looked up prices and it's nearly $500 for 30 minutes. Nobody can currently afford that for her. If anyone knows someone skilled in that instrument willing to play for a little while please dm me. I understand she's not gone yet, there’s no current day or plan in place and if timing doesn't work for the individual I get it. I'm just trying to help where I can.

Hello everyone! We are visiting Brantford for 4 days in October and I just want to ask if you have any advice on where to go for good food and also your favorite thrift stores. We are also bringing our dog so any recommendations of pet friendly places will be greatly appreciated. :) thank you so much!

Hey guys I was one of the artist who was going to be at the Urban Night Market. I was very disappointed in the cancellation but have good news to share! I just wanted to let you all know I am selling my abstract paintings in front of KNIGHTFALL TATTOO on Sunday Aug 30th and Sunday Sept 6th!!

Im a local Brantford artist who has been painting about 9 years since I was diagnosed Bipolar. I express myself in colour and loud visuals to create emotion in the viewer. I hope to make you feel something which is what art is made to do. Thank you for all your continued support!!!

Does anyone know of place near by that I can take some old prints in frames to other than thrift stores? I have had them posted on marketplace but with no responses. Is there an art store or something that I could sell them to?

Made by my wife and not with AI lol

Hello 👋 ,

Looking for recommendations for a good mechanic/shop in Brantford that will do labour-only oil changes and maintenance if I bring my own oil and filters.
If you’ve used someone who allows this, how much do they usually charge for labour?

Thank you :)

TW: mental health

People wonder why s@icide death rates are so high.

My bipolar was at the point i need medical care. they had me wait hours to be seen (yes i know there’s others)
i’ve told them i wasn’t safe to myself. and my ideations can be unpredictable.
they discharged me because they made it out i was wanting to leave. and that wasn’t the case at all. but luckily the psychiatrist knows the truth because i told her.
i didn’t really eat as i wasn’t part of it to get food even though i was a patient. they treated me like a burden- especially one nurse.
they hardly checked on me. and when i told the nurse i am actually gonna go crazy i need help and i was going to have a panic attack she said “you volunteered to stay here so we don’t know when the bed will come for you” i never once wanted to stay, i was told to voluntarily stay or they may force me to stay. so i picked the easy one. i just wanted help and they didn’t provide me with care to feel safe.
while my stay there the security was joking about a green card and kept peeping in my room. laughing, walking by and smiling at me. i’m sitting sock feet and a hoodie, not one nurse told them to stop- and it’s my fault to them because i didn’t say anything. i’m sitting in the dark on a bed debating with my brain fighting to stay here.

mental health is an illness. and we deserve help and care. there’s so much more but i don’t want to make the post to lengthy.

do better BGH. if i remembered certain nurses names i would’ve reported them. i was too distraught.

Hello everyone.
I am an avid aquarium hobbyist, with a specificity for the planted tank.
Are there any aquarium clubs in Brantford, or folks looking to trade or swap plant/fish, or just talk about the hobby with a focus on the hobby in our area?

Hello my fellow Brantford Residents, welcome to my AMA post. There is no time limit, I'll respond to any question or comment made for myself, just bare with me as i do work full time. Here's a brief rundown of myself.

I currently live in Ward 5, grew up in both Mississauga and Brantford, and have traveled or lived in various provinces throughout Canada.

I'm raising my growing family, as i work in Logistics and Inventory Management for Johnson Controls Inc. Im also head of the JHSC, so I spend everyday helping and caring for those around me. I'd like to bring that same hard working work ethic, as well as my critical-thinking problem solving skills, and compassionate leadership to City Hall.

I have over a decade of experience in Customer Service, Inventory and Team Management, as well first aid & JHSC experience, plus Store and Warehouse Management. I also have a few years of electrical, construction, drywalling, and carpentry experience.

I currently have no ties to anyone at City Hall or the current council, I'm just a guy that wants to get in and do the right thing for the city and most importantly, Ward 5.

Ive knocked on almost half of this wards doors, so if you haven't seen my flyer yet, im on my way. I believe in listening before leading, and I believe my platform reflects that.

Anyone know anywhere that sells the Wildfire brand specifically? I'm tired of these tissue paper juicy jays. Wildfire was always my brand but I can't find them and internet searches just show me all the shops that sell rolling papers in general.
