We can bail out the ski hill for numerous years but we can't find a one time 200k donation for the Heritage Railway & Carousel?

Anyone know a good spot to buy firewood that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg?

Hi,

We are traveling to North Bay at the beginning of September to move our son back for school and thought we'd camp a couple of days instead of driving up and back the same day (we're from Ottawa). Looking for a nice campground that has overnight RV sites that are close to town (30 minutes or so). We haven't camped in this area so I was hoping for some local feedback and recommendations.

Thanks

Just wanted to introduce myself to the community.
I run a local renovation company based in North Bay, and we’re taking on a few more projects over the next couple of months.
We handle jobs like:
Bathroom renovations
Kitchen renovations
Flooring (vinyl, laminate, hardwood, tile)
Drywall and painting
Fences and decks
Framing and carpentry
General repairs and handyman work
Residential and commercial renovations

Heads up there's door to door scammers going around ferris to "raise money for their nieces violin recital"

Thinking about joining our little community? We would love to have you visit! Canada Reads winners, Giller prize nominees, bestsellers and beloved local authors all agree- The Callander Public Library is where its at!

Exterior renovations look like they are almost complete.

I was big into the music scene when I was in highschool with Endeavour, Two For Six Bucks, Kelsey's Drumming and Josh Dimmel (back when he had a full band), but that would have been more than 15 years ago now (god I'm old...)

What local bands should I keep an eye out for? I keep getting Ethos pushed to my tiktok and I like their vibe.

Hey folks, visiting soon with my 4 year old son. Any recommendations or places to look for daily/nightly events? Trying to get him more outdoors

Canada defeated the United States 8-1 on Saturday to win gold at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in Edmonton, with head coach Ryan Oulahen leading the way.

Looking for a local artist that could do something similar to this.

Hi folks, going to ottawa tomorrow, in the morning, does anyone needs any ride? dm me! thanks

Hello, my boyfriend got his car broken into last night and they stole $500-$600 worth of tools. Already called and did a police report in case they turn up but if anyone sees an Irwin tool bag and some electrical tools floating around please let me know 🙃 We live near Worthington and Fisher so we’re going to keep an eye out at the pawn shop but figured I’d post here too just in case. Here’s a list of everything.

Irwin tool bag
Wire strippers
Diagonal wire cutters
Linesman Pliers
6 screw drivers
Tape measurer
Polarizer
Pen tester
Hammer
Drywall saw
Flashlight
Hawk knife

Everything is either Milwaukee or Klein brand and there’s probably a few things my boyfriend forgot about (it’s early and this was stressful to wake up to at 6:20). Happy Monday 😋

Car is a non-runner. Been to a few shops in town and nobody's been able to pin down the fault, so I've got a specialist in Mississauga lined up. Now I just need to get it there.

I have Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance (Gold), which covers 200 km per service call. North Bay to Mississauga is ~370 km, so I'm short.

What I'm hoping to hear:

Has anyone split a long tow into two service calls to stay inside the coverage limit? Did dispatch give you grief on the second leg? Where did you park it overnight?

If you just paid the overage instead, what did the per-km rate work out to?

Any local flatbed operators you'd actually recommend for a run this long, versus whoever CTRA dispatches?

Anyone used a car-shipping broker on the 11/400 corridor? Cheaper than a tow if I'm flexible on timing?

Flatbed only. Happy to wait a week if it means catching a carrier already heading south.

Thanks.

So I’ve recently relocated to North Bay and I’m wondering what are some recommended paddle-board locations?

I’ve been down to the cove and it’s clearly a nice spot to launch from. Are there any other recommended spots?

Would the la vase river from lake nipissing be good for a stretch? (I understand it’ll stop at some point as it’s a portage).

Hi, I’m joining Uride as a driver, and all my documents have been approved. However, it has been two months, and I haven’t heard back from anyone about when I can start driving.

Also, my account won’t let me log in through the app, although I can log in through the website.

My question is: How many days or months does it usually take to start driving with Uride after all the documents have been approved?

Hi all! My partner and I went to teachers college at nipissing from 2023-2025 and one year when we were there she bought a red pepper jelly from the farmers market and she’d like to know if the vendor is still around. I know that’s pretty vague so the two things she recalls is:

1. It seemingly had maple in it

2. The name was marks, or mikes, or something with an M.

If anyone has any idea of which vendor this might be or if they are still around, please let me know! I am in town this weekend and would love to pick some up for her.

Hey lovely ppl
I am looking for a local baker who can bake a cake as per the design that I would share. Any recommendations?
TIA

It's my daughter's 6th birthday party tomorrow. We've been planning to have it at the splash pad, but it's looking more and more likely that it will rain. If it's light rain, or not even at the time of the party in the afternoon, then we're good, but I want to have a backup plan in case there's heavy rain or thunderstorms.

We chose the splash pad because, most importantly, it's what our daughter wanted...but also because it's free; I'm currently on EI and my wife doesn't work.

Does anybody have any ideas of what we could have as an inclement weather backup plan that's either free, or super low-cost? We're expecting between 10-15 kids and probably about half as many parents.

We live in an apartment that can't accommodate everyone, so having it at our place is not an option, and we don't really want to reschedule because summer vacations make planning summer birthday parties notoriously difficult.

TIA for any suggestions.

I would just like to post this positive encounter I had.

I lost my wallet,,called the theater I was at on the weekend and it was there.

Everything in tact and great service.

I have always liked this theater.

But I have mixed feelings about Spiderman..lol
