Parents please take a look at the link so we can keep our kids safe.

Currently, e-scooters are only permitted to be operated in the City of Burlington as part of the Centennial Trail E-Scooter Pilot. They are not allowed to be operated anywhere else in the City of Burlington.

Stand at all times;

Yield to pedestrians and cyclists;

Travel at a maximum of 24 km/h - it’s not lawful or safe for e-scooters to travel faster than that.

No passengers, no cargo, and no baskets; and  

It is illegal to tow anything – including another person, vehicle, or device.

I’m interested in hearing from anyone who remembers the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre location in the city. I’m hoping to collect memories, photos, videos, stories, and information about the location, especially from people who visited it as parents, kids, or even worked there.

If you have photos or firsthand memories, please share them! Even small details could help piece together what the location was like.

Looking for recommendations for places to get PPF for my car! TIA!

Looking for a small party venue for around 20 people in the Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville area.

Nothing crazy expensive 😊

Bonus if there are games and karaoke included :)

TO EVERYONE

We are here on our social media to express a deeply concerning issue we were made aware of yesterday by several concerned citizens. Atrium denounces and rejects the views of all white supremacy groups and encourages the efforts being made by citizens to help others be more aware that these groups exist.

The Atrium and its staff do not represent or support any specific social political view. We are a company that provides the highest quality food and service in the hospitality industry.

Thanks to several concerned citizens calling in and actively protesting we were made aware that a last-minute booking of a film documentary under a personal name was actually a white supremist rally with the explicit intent on spreading misinformation.

This is disheartening and we are truly ashamed to be associated with this in any way. The majority of our company including its owner are immigrants. Some are on temporary work permits others have their permanent residency and are in the process of becoming Canadian citizens. Without immigrants Atrium would not exist.

The only responsible next step for our company is to help spread awareness of this issue. Please be aware that even in 2026, after the many advances and sacrifices made for people to have equal opportunity and rights there are still groups in our communities that intend to move us backwards.

FROM,

ATRIUM FAMILY

I am deeply troubled that a white nationalist anti-immigration organization held an event at a private venue in Burlington. Let me be clear: this is not welcome in Burlington.

We celebrate people of all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures. We reject those who would seek to divide us.

This is a reminder to all businesses to be vigilant and ensure their spaces aren’t used to spread hate.

Our community stands together in supporting the many diverse cultures in our city. You make our city better.

Sincerely,

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward

City of Burlington

-----

The City is aware of reports regarding the conference being held in Burlington. The event is not taking place at a City-owned or City-operated facility.

Burlington is proud to be a diverse and inclusive community. We reject hatred, discrimination and intolerance in all forms. Hate has no place in Burlington, and we remain committed to creating a city where everyone feels welcome, valued, respected and safe.

I made a visit to a local farm this weekend to visit their sunflower field!

Parkside Acres is in Waterdown, Ontario and they currently have a pick your own sunflower field that you can wander through and enjoy.

I made a short vlog style video of my visit here and then to a waterfall in Hamilton, Ontario.

Folks just moved to Burlington and I need them to get out of the house once in a while and do stuff rather than just staying home. Recommendation for things they can do in or around Burlington. They are between 70-80 years.

Basically the title, anyone willing to share their experience and feedback on Child Ventures Daycare. Thank you!

Hi, I lost a set of keys yesterday morning around 8am - if anyone has found them, please DM me, I'd be very grateful. I've already asked all the businesses in the area. Thanks!

Is there anyone who does web related work locally in Oakville/Burlington? 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 children who will need braces in their future. Right now they are at a practice who does cleanings, xrays and fillings but thats kind of it and not in Burlington. What dental practice is the best for growing children

Hi everyone. I have two open slots in my schedule to tutor elementary students. Dm for information.

Its been a while since this question has popped up and a few of the previous shops have since disappeared. Whats an affordable place to get a watch battery replaced?

What's up with people peeing in public? I've seen it more times than I can count in the past couple of months. It's always men and it's in very public areas. For example today I just saw a man peeing beside me in the Central Library parking lot.

I understand that you might have to go if you're in the middle of nowhere and without access to a bathroom but whenever I've seen it, there's a bathroom less than a minute or two away.

Peeing in public parking lots is not legal in Burlington, we don't want to see your penis!

Rant done!

hey everyone! has anyone headed to bronte creek to see if the salmon are coming up after all this rain?
im eager to get out! thanks

I’ve been feeling pretty tight and sore lately and was thinking about getting a massage. I’m looking for a place that’s professional and actually good, not just a random spa. Anyone in Burlington have a massage therapist they really like? Would appreciate any local recommendations and your experience.

Just curious

Just wondering what this symbol means? There was a number of spots painted with this in the parking lot at Burlington Centre

Nobody hurt.

Hi everyone! My fiancée and I are considering having our wedding at the Marquis Gardens/Waterfront Hotel, and I would love to hear some feedback from anyone that’s attended (or even held!) a wedding there. Pictures would be a fantastic bonus, there aren’t a ton of photos posted on the Google reviews of this site. Thanks!

I've noticed a house between the esso on locust and lakeshore and Burlington Rd (1415 lakeshore) has had a large number of people constantly partying at all times of day, front door open, bowflex workout machine and miscellaneous shit out in the yard, etc etc.

I don't really care, I'm just curious! Is it like a hippy commune type thing? Trap house? Just an extended group of friends living it up? Whatever it is, looks like everyone's having a good time 😂

Wondering is there anyone that is on the Freedom Phone Nework? How is the reception in Burlington/Milton? Thinking of porting over to them from
Rogers.
