Question No power in South Oakville?

5 Upvotes

Saw a car crashed an electricity pole this morning and electric cables are down across Cornwall road. All airbags on and the pole is completely destroyed. Driver seems fine as she was standing near her car on the phone. The electric cables are down on the road and blocking traffic on Cornwall Rd. We don’t have power in the house atm probably because of that. Anyone else facing a no power issue?

Food Food deals in Oakville

22 Upvotes

There was anothr thread asking about hidden gems with good bang for your bucks but that was all insane answers imo. I checked all of the top options and they're anywhere from $15 to $30 per person with a drink.

I'm just trying to eat food for cheap to get by.

Here are my go tos:

Harvey's $6.00 for hotdog with fries or onion rings and a drink

Popeyes $5.99 for 2 tenders (or a wrap), fries, a biscuit and a drink

McDonalds $5.00 for a mcdouble cheese burger, fries and a drink

Any other actual cheap deals around?

I’ve been trying to find any info online but I can’t seem to find anything, and I haven’t seen any signage at the usual locations either. Does anyone know if we’re getting a Spirit Halloween in Oakville this year, or if there’s a confirmed location yet? ☺️

Question Newcomer family, want both kids in French Immersion, but younger one can't start until Grade 2. How did others handle this?

0 Upvotes

We moved to Canada this summer and are new to the Ontario school system. We have two kids, one starting Grade 2, one starting Kindergarten, and we'd really love for both of them to end up in French Immersion. The catch is FI doesn't start before Grade 2, so our younger one would need to start at a different school than our older one, at least for now.

We're ok with two schools/drop-offs (not ideal), they're each about 7-8 minutes away in opposite directions, so logistically it's manageable for us.

We're not a French-speaking family ourselves, just really want our kids to learn french. A few things we'd love input on:

  • Anyone done this ? one kid starting FI in Grade 2 while the younger sibling starts elsewhere? How did it go?
  • Any newcomer-specific advice for navigating the Ontario school system in general?

Would love to hear how this played out for other families, especially other non-French-speaking households who went the FI route.

Hello anyone has any input, I am debating whether to place my little one in Saint Marie Catholic School or Du Chene. Both schools are French. We live close to both schools and speak fluent French.
Would appreciate any feedback.

Question Abandoned buildings in Oakville

I’m looking to explore some abandoned buildings in Oakville. I’m not sure if the ones on Trafalgar have been torn down yet or not. I know there’s a few abandoned buildings by where the old hospital was. Anyone know of any cool places to check out? Doesn’t have to necessarily be in Oakville btw

Question Advice on Website related service?

4 Upvotes

Is there anyone who does web related work locally in Oakville? Everytime I search up things like this I get taken to agencies. I get on a call and they're charging $1000 a month or something outrageous not excluding set up fee. I just want to turn a business idea I have with my family into fruition. It's related to education or educating seniors on certain topics. All material is ready. At this point it may even be easier to learn myself or watch Youtube videos about it.

Thanks for the help, any advice would be amazing, good afternoon

I have heard many complaints on this location and I think it starts with the staff , at times it seems welcoming but almost every time it’s kind of odd stepping into the place, almost like your not supposed to be there lmao
Maybe it’s just kids these days but something is definitely up with a lot of them
