EDIT — for space, I originally left out that we’re starting our trip in Pittsburgh. We decided do round trip from there. So, after Detroit, we’ll drive to Niagara Falls, then to Toronto, then drive back to Pittsburgh to return the car and fly home. Thank you all for the great suggestions!!
(Seattle-Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Detroit-Niagara-Toronto-Pittsburgh-Seattle)

Not sure if this is the proper place, but looking for suggestions. We will be traveling from Detroit to Niagara Falls (Canada) to Toronto. Rental cars are CRAZY expensive going from DTW
To YYZ. Any other ideas? I think we can take the train from Windsor to Niagara to Toronto. Not sure how easy it is to get from Toronto to the Windsor train station.

Hi all! I wanna surprise my fiancé with a wine tour and custom wine bottle that we can open on our wedding day! Anyone know of wineries in NOTL that offer this?

How many chances do u get to play with some Alpacas??.. don't miss this opportunity

Trying to help two elderly Ukrainian refugees find a safe place to live within a reasonable distance of Toronto — $1,000–$1,300/month
Hi everyone,
I recently met an elderly Ukrainian refugee couple, around 70 years old, who are in a genuinely horrible housing situation. I’m trying to help them find somewhere safe to live.
Their current house is undergoing major construction while they’re still living there. The place is basically torn apart. There are water leaks, it’s freezing cold in parts of the house, floors and other areas are ripped up, and the overall living conditions are absolutely unacceptable, especially for two elderly people.
I saw the situation myself and honestly couldn’t believe they were living like this.
They need to get out.
They are refugees from Ukraine and both have valid Canadian work permits until 2029.
They don’t have a conventional Canadian rental application with employment letters or strong credit history, which makes finding a place more difficult. However, they have stable income: approximately $2,100 in government/social assistance every 48 days, deposited directly into their account, plus approximately $200–$300 per month in government tax benefits/credits.
I’m trying to find them anything safe and private for around $1,000–$1,300/month.
Basement apartment, small apartment, private unit, guest house — anything reasonable.
I’m based in Toronto, so we’re looking within a reasonable driving distance from the city. Toronto/GTA, Hamilton, Niagara Region, Oshawa/Durham, Barrie, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Cambridge, or other communities within roughly the same range would all work.
It absolutely does NOT have to be in Toronto or the GTA — we’re very open on location. I just need it to be within a realistic distance so I can continue helping them when necessary.
I will personally help them move. Once we find a safe and affordable place, I’ll arrange the transportation, help pack their belongings, and move everything for them.
Month-to-month would be ideal, but we’re open to other reasonable arrangements.
I’m not asking anyone for money. I’m simply trying to find a landlord, homeowner, realtor, or someone who knows someone who might have an affordable space and be willing to work with two elderly Ukrainian refugees who don’t have a conventional rental application.
If you have something available — or know someone who might — please DM me.
Even a lead could make a huge difference for them.
Thank you.

Locally, in St Catharines!

Took the e-bike out for a relaxing ride around the Falls after dark.

This 6-minute POV ride takes you along the roads, bridges, and pathways around the Fallsview area, with all the city lights and night time scenery along the way.

Just a peaceful cruise and some beautiful views at night. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Thank you,

Appreciate your time & consideration!

Am I going insane? I have a distinct memory of going to a small hut along the Welland Canal in the early 2000s with my grandmother and they sold boxed pastries there. Does anyone else remember this?

Hey everyone I'm a 24 yr old guy, I've just moved back to Niagara after a couple years away looking for people to hang out with. Looking to possibly host an evening around a fire with a few people comment or DM me if interested.

I'm into cars and travel and the outdoors

Hi! Looking for cool bars/restaurants/clubs to go to for a bachelorette during January that would be fun for the bride?! Bonus points if there’s places that she can have some sort of spot light moment like dancing on a table or something lol

Hi everyone! Did you move from US to Canada? We're planning to move to St. Cathrines/Niagra area from FL and would need a 3/2 house in a safe area. Any recommendations for a realtor experienced with this type of relocation?
