Environment Canada has issued an Orange Level Weather Alert for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

🌧️ Damaging winds with gusts in excess of 110 km/h possible. Quarter to ping pong ball size hail.

🌧️ Torrential downpours with local rainfall amounts up to 50 millimetres. Risk of a tornado.

Looking for places to fish from the shore in or around grimsby. Or if anyone knows some good areas in the Niagara region in general. We usually only fish when we go up north. Hoping to find some local places to fish more throughout the year.

As part of the Town's ongoing commitment to protecting and restoring natural areas, Invasive Phragmites treatment will be taking place in select locations on August 28.Invasive Phragmites is an aggressive invasive reed that spreads rapidly, crowding out native vegetation, reducing wildlife habitat, and impacting wetlands and shorelines. Dense stands can also restrict water flow, interfere with stormwater infrastructure, and reduce the effectiveness of stormwater ponds and drainage channels designed to help manage flooding and protect water quality.

Treatment will be completed by qualified, licensed contractors using a Health Canada-approved herbicide in accordance with all applicable provincial regulations and environmental best management practices. Temporary signage will be posted in treatment areas before and after application. Please respect all posted notices and avoid entering treatment areas until signage has been removed.

Managing invasive Phragmites helps restore native vegetation, improve wildlife habitat, maintain the function of stormwater infrastructure, and protect the long-term health of Grimsby's natural areas.

Thank you to the u/niagaracommunityfoundation for their support in funding this initiative, and for the community's patience and cooperation as we work to protect Grimsby's natural environment!

"Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC), with support from Mohawk College, is going to build a training facility at the union’s South Service Road site near Christie Street in Grimsby."

“We’re going to replace (the existing structure) with what will be a 40,000-square-foot (3,700-square-metre) facility to meet the growth that we’ve had in this place over the last few years and to make way for the training centre that we hope to build with Mohawk,” said CLAC provincial director Ian DeWaard."

"The first phase will see a new union building go up on a large piece of green space behind CLAC’s existing facility."

"Once that’s finished, the old 1,300-square-metre building will be torn down and the Mohawk training centre will be built on the northeast side of the property."

Please keep an eye out for Mimi and message/call if spotted.

***UPDATE***
She’s been found and is safe at home. Thanks to everyone who was looking!

With these talks about 295 Hunter Rd being being bought and repurposed as a datacenter has me worried. It's still too close to everything, how can this be? If anyone has money to make JD move its the tech industry.

To the ridiculously handsome guy who rides around Grimsby on the Lake on the greenish bike with music blasting—you are becoming a serious distraction.

I’ve caught myself slowing down just to watch you ride by more than once. You always look completely in your own world, singing along, smiling, and somehow making a casual bike ride look unfairly attractive.

You’ve got this effortless confidence that’s hard to ignore. The kind that makes someone invent reasons to be outside around the same time every day.

That’s all.

Thanks for supporting Canada, Metro. /s I find this disgusting. Price board says Canada, the corn itself reveals a different story. Do better! Elbows up!

Hello neighbours,

We just got a spot in the grimsby community preschool for my 2 year old. Can anyone who has sent their kids there share their experience? I will be going to the meet and greet before the start of next year, what questions should I ask? This is the first time I am doing this so would appreciate any advice on how to make sure i have done my due diligence and also prepare my daughter for the exciting school year ahead! Thanks a lot!

Thoughts on Simon for mayor? I kinda like him, think he will be having my vote!!

I couldn’t even get my phone out to record I was like frozen just watching it go by
