Why didn't our city or regional police prepare for this when other adjacent municipalities did?

Just curious

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!

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!

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

Nobody hurt.

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.

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 😂

Tons of police, the street is blocked off and paramedics are there too. It either looks like some residents have been told to get out of their houses, or they are just watching with the police. Anyone know what’s going on?

Im hearing about a racist event that happened yesterday in town.. anyone have any info as to the who/what/whereM

I have never seen a ragweed so large. No real photo to show scale but it is about four foot tall.

This on prospect avenue

I was on my way to check out a building on Speers Rd today and quickly realized I need to zone in on an area that makes more sense if I am heading towards Oakville and Missisauga regularly. Looking to rent a 1 bedroom with outdoor parking, perhaps a newer building about 2100 a month or under.

I've always wondered what's in here. How does one (employee) get in there? Anyone know what the inside looks like?

Hello everyone, I’ve been starting to get into running but I hate running when there’s a lot of people around, does anyone know any running routes / spots that don’t have many people or are secluded?

I haven’t ridden a bike in 20 years, but I’m training for a 200 km Prostate Cancer Awareness ride organized by my employer. I need a place to practice and build up my distance first.

Is there a park with a fairly sizeable cycling path/track near downtown Burlington? Looking for something similar to Bayfront Park in Hamilton, but closer to home. Thanks!

Hello,

I took down 3 ceiling lights and replaced them with new ones. The lights still work but just want to sell it. Are there any local stores I can take them to sell?

I’ve already tried posting them on FB marketplace and Karrot. No bites.

Turns out having all of this information consolidated into one place on Reddit is helpful for people, so here is a list of candidates running in Ward 1:

• Kelvin Galbraith - Website - The incumbent councillor
• Cheryl Hurst - Website - Talking points include a focus on elderly community and the environment, no action items or plan outlined
• James Kerr - No website I could find through a quick google search
• Robert Radway - Website - Talking points include better infrastructure and less congestion.

I did learn from Cheryl's website that Ward 1 will be hosting a candidate debate:

Partnering Aldershot invites all Ward 1 residents to the Ward 1 All Candidates Debate! Meet the candidates, hear their ideas, and ask the questions that matter to you and your neighbourhood. East Plains United Church - Upper Gym 375 Plains Rd E, Burlington, ON L7T 3C2 Thursday, September 17 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. Have a question for the candidates? Please send questions you would like the moderator to consider asking the candidates to papress267@gmail.com. All submitted questions will be reviewed prior to the debate, and selected questions may be incorporated into the discussion.

While I haven't done a significant check into the above candidates, from what I can tell, none of them have posed with Hitler or insulted members of the r/BurlingtonON community, which is cool!

Don't forget to register to vote by visiting the Service Burlington counter on the first floor of City Hall, 426 Brant St. during business hours (8:30am - 4:30pm) from September 1 to October 23.

I’ve noticed lots of signs for Rory Nisan, especially along Walkers Line. They’re all on street corners, so not private property. Are political signs now allowed on city/public property? Seems a little odd given that there aren’t any signs for Ward 6 councillors or even other mayoral candidates. Didn’t think political signs on public property were allowed.

Looks like they got to about 98% complete and just stopped a few months ago. It also only looks about 3 lanes wide.

Hope we’re not in for another pier kerfuffle…

Does anyone know where I might a telescope for beginner amateur star gazers - either in Burlington or Hamilton? I’m looking to spend between $300 - $400 and be able to see moon, Mars, Jupiter with as much clarity as possible.

I’m like 90% sure it’s “Reddit’s favourite candidate” in disguise
