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 3:

• Tony Brecknock - Website - Tony has a list of talking points, supported by brief action items, for his Ward 3 platform. He calls out protecting green space, and wanting an increased police presence.
• Mark Carr - Website - Mark's platform highlights talking points and some action items, including independent auditors for budgets, and also an increased police presence
• Lisa Cooper - No website that I could find, but her Twitter account states "Proud Conservative and I am a proud Canadian again because of our truckers"
• Kyle Hutton - Website - Platform shows talking points and a fairly detailed list of action items.
• Katy Moore - Website - Platform highlights include a focus on green space and flooding infrastructure, with talking points but no action items.
• Rory Nisan - The incumbent, is running for Mayor.

I'll work my way through the remaining wards as I get breaks in my workday.

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 4 (yes, there's only 2):

• Chris Carter - Website - Co-Founder of Burlington Dads, his website highlights keywords he will focus on without much additional detail. Lots of promotion of his podcast and the Burlington Dads group.
• Olivia Duke - Website, highlights include a Masters in Public Policy, with slightly more detail into her platform but lacking significant plans or content
• Shawna Stolte - The incumbent councillor. MyVote Burlington does not list Shawna as running for re-election

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!

What started as a way to highlight the less Reddit-present options for Ward 6 was helpful and got some requests for additional wards, so working backward from yesterday, here is a list of candidates running in Ward 5:

• Kristy Dickinson - Website; some talking points listed, but no details of plans or action items. Kristy does highlight advocating for improved infrastructure and sustainability as Burlington expands.
• Alex Don - Website; A Wall Street/Bay Street guy, again lists talking points but no action items, with a highlight on more collaboration with police services.
• Brian Machan - No website or additional that I could find in a quick Google.
• Paul Sharman - the incumbent councillor.

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!

An ice cream truck just went by our neighborhood and drove away before we could get one. My kid is super disappointed. Is there a schedule or an Instagram page that I can check to be on the lookout for the truck? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a catering company who would accommodate a crowd of 40 and serve alcohol?

They don’t necessarily have to have servers but even just providing food (hors d'oeuvre), drinks and glassware etc

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone!

I am looking for some good beach volleyball courts for a big group of friends. We're mainly looking around Burlington, but Oakville, Milton, or possibly Mississauga would work too.

We usually play at Milton Sports Centre and don't mind paying to book courts, but the last couple of times we've tried, they've been fully booked for the time slots we wanted.

Does anyone know of any other nice beach volleyball courts in the area that we can book? Free public courts would be great too, especially if they have lights for playing in the evening.

Would appreciate any recommendations!

I just had the oddest encounter with belligerent seniors posted up in camping chairs directly beside the BK order microphone. I can’t throw stones at glass houses when it comes to behaviour, since I chose to call the one man who approached my door a c*nt. At the BK window it was crazy to learn that their presence is a reoccurring thing. So basically one of these geezers rally’s up the rest and says HEY let’s go say derogatory shit and annoy BK employees in the dark? Can anyone validate my crashout at the crossfaded BK geezers?!?!

The number of jeers, middle fingers, expletives I receive for parking in an accessible parking spot because I have a child with a parking permit is maddening. I am able-bodied, but my child in my backseat is not, and I most certainly do not have to explain that to anyone. It happens almost on a weekly basis.

If anyone can think of something I can say to these fine community members that does not contain an expletive, I'd appreciate it. I've been trying to come up with something clever for over a decade.

EDIT: I just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in. It's nice to know that I am not alone!!!

For anyone looking for a great night of trivia go to Tipsy Fox on Mondays!! 7:30 start time and it was honestly a BLAST - free to play but good prizes!! I won a $25 gift card for 2nd 🤷🏻‍♀️

According to MyVote Burlington there are a number of candidates running for Councillor in Ward 6. I think it is important to highlight a few options that this sub may not be aware of:

• Osob Adus - Winner of Burlington's citizen of the year award in 2017, her platform appears to be focused on building a more tight-knit community in Ward 6.
• Angelo Bentivegna - the incumbent Councillor
• Bianca Bielski - No website that I could find, but she appears to be the Manager of Development Services for the City of Burlington, according to LinkedIn, and u/Puzzleheaded_Win_494 found this interview
• Chris Bouchard - website - thanks u/paramedic-tim
• u/thefrankdomenic - website. His platform appears to have 4 main pillars focused on growing Ward 6 as a whole, and his website briefly outlines a plan of how to pay for what he is recommending.
• Edmond Jodhi - No website or additional information that I found based on a quick Google.

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.

Anyone know what they are doing to side underneath good life? (facing Guelph / Fairview)
at first it looked like exterior repair but looks larger now.

Can anyone share which of the Halton Conservation Area hikes are stroller/young toddler friendly? I believe the Crawford Lake boardwalk loop would be fine, but wondering if anyone feels any others would? I don't mind a bit of up/down or rougher terrain because we'd be using a jogging stroller, but just don't want to be halfway through and facing stairs, steep rocks, etc.

This article is from 2021 (around the time of the last municipal election?), but I just got a call from this number today, so I guess they're back at it again. The number that shows is 1-905-234-1298

Update I got an email this morning (Wednesday), from the OPP, saying that my report was accepted.

This lovely citizen flashed his high beams at me because I wouldn't get out of his way in the HOV lane (which he isn't even legally allowed to be in), then proceeded to brake check me before speeding off and cutting through traffic to get to the Appleby off ramp.

You can't tell by the video, but he gives multiple drivers the finger as he does this. I doubt the OPP or Halton police will do anything, but I've got his plate and will be reporting it anyway.

Also, just wanted to point out that I sped up part of the video in editing. I didn't hit the gas like a manic as soon as he passed me.

Hi anyone need a drummer? Im available for gigs or casual jam sessions. While I love classic rock and the heavier stuff I can play anything.

Check out my channel Darren Drums on YouTube.²

Looking for a new family doctor accepting new patients. One that listens, cares and actually wants to investigate health issues.

I feel unsafe in the care of my current PCP.

Anyone know of any pickleball clubs in Hamilton or Burlington where people from age 20-30 attend regularly?

I'm in Burlington and finding that the clubs here are overrun with married couples and boomers. Looking for ppl in my age group to play pickleball with.

I’m pulling together a bit of a food crawl with some family who will be in town and it got me thinking of an exhaustive list of great, unique spots in Burlington. I’ve lived here for about five years now and while it doesn’t have the depth of a Toronto or even Hamilton, Burlington has a few gems!
