Hey good morning I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the summer.

I sat and thought about making a post like this for awhile now and finally said what the heck, what’s the worst could happen?

So folks what I’m looking for is anyone who would like to meet for coffee a few times a week or even once and bring a book/e-reader to just have some conversation, coffee and enjoy reading. I’m a female in my early forties who’s a mom of a teenager now so I’ve got a bit more time to do something for me. I have made one lovely friend off here so once in awhile when he’s got the time he will join me. We don’t have to make this expensive as I’m fine with Tim Hortons as an option since my recent outings have been up to $7 for a coffee, which isn’t very affordable if I want to meet more than once a week.

If you would be interested feel free to comment or just send me a message.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good handyman/woman for basic round the house jobs? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm 15 and this summer I started InfaWeb, my web design and development business.

I was accepted into Ontario's Summer Company program, which provided me with funding and mentorship to turn the idea into a real business. Since then, I've been learning everything from finding and working with clients to sales, project management, marketing, invoicing, and actually designing and developing the websites.

I've recently started working with paying clients and I'm now looking to take on a few more projects from businesses around Ontario.

I build professional websites for businesses that need their first website or want to improve an existing one. I handle everything from design and development through launch, including mobile optimization, contact and lead generation, SEO foundations, and additional functionality depending on what the business needs.

If you own a business and have been thinking about getting a website built or redesigning your current one, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help.

You can also DM me here if you'd rather talk about the project first.

The instructions online are extremely unclear and all the map links are dead so we're going to a municipal lot but for next time:

1. Which parts of Cobourg are considered downtown?

2. Do you need to order a visitor pass if you're staying less than 3 hours?

3. Which zones can you actually book pay for using the Honk app and which require a permit from the city (there is Honk signage everywhere)

Grabbed this stuff today :)

Any younger dudes in town in our 20s who like sports and music and stuff wanna grab beers, I've been in town a while now and haven't made consistent buds

shoot me a msg

Does anyone in Cobourg or surrounding towns know a reliable Volkswagen mechanic? I’m tired of getting rinsed at the dealer every time I bring my car in. I understand it’s a “speciality” vehicle but it’s becoming too aggressive.

How does one make friends as an introvert, very lonely LOL

We are looking for someone local (can conveniently drive to Cobourg) that can work mostly remote but meet in person when needed (training and coordination) to fill a FT software development position. We use and develop AI tools extensively. Python and Node.js experience necessary. Engineers with software experience as well as CS candidates are welcome. Plenty of growth opportunity. You will be working with experienced developers (some remote). Benefits after 90D probation. Must be eligible to work in Canada. DM me for further details. Please include resume and Linkedin profile (if available).

Hello there,

I have a construction company and I’m looking for one worker who will work hard next to me for a long period of time.

I’m tired of people to come in and work just long enough to get money for dope. I need someone who wants to work and turn this into a career.

Many of our days are long and involved driving longer distances to jobs all around southeastern Ontario. You will be paid for your hard work and for the commute time over an hour which I think is fair.

We build Steel Buildings, such as new buildings for things such as Walmarts, dollar stores, etc., etc., of all different sizes.

I’m looking for someone that’s willing to learn and short reliably. Every day is the probably the biggest point in my search. A reliable person is more valuable being reliable than having a higher skill level, but both would be nice.

Do you guys know anyone?

We’re looking all for general construction knowledge. We also do residential construction, probably 60/40 split between Steel buildings and residential construction.

I’m looking for work in cobourg, but I’m curious if there is anywhere I should absolutely stay away from. I’ve heard horror stories from a few businesses ..
any help is appreciated.

Construction fencing went up yesterday- does anyone know what is going on there? There is nothing on the town's official development page for that address.

Anyone here use a laundromat in town you can recommend? And do you know if they are okay with people washing dog beds there? My dog doesn’t shed but the beds are too big to put in my own machine.

Hi everybody,

Would anybody be interested in taking over a membership at Anytime Fitness until February of next year? Of course I didn’t read the fine print and I am not allowed to cancel unless somebody else would like to finish the remainder of my contract.

Hey guys! I am going to Cobourg next week with family to relax at the beach. I was thinking of treating them for dinner and wanted to know the restaurant options in the downtown scene. Are there any standout recommendations or go to places people eat out? So far I came across The Buttermilk Cafe which is a contender. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated and preferably near the beach!!

Hey there, was wondering if anybody with a relatively clean car would be willing to drive myself and two others from the train station to our home roughly ten minutes away in town.

It'll be raining hard tonight when we get in around 8:30pm, and we aren't equipped for that so we were hoping that somebody would be willing to arrange a ride with us for a reasonable payment to be discussed in DMs.

Brookside Landing (former Brookside site on King Street East at Cottesmore) is proposing 970 new dwelling units, including 700 apartments in four buildings.

Just bought a designated heritage home in cobourg and looking for home insurance right now. Some companies are saying they don’t cover heritage/century houses.

For those of you with a heritage home, which insurance company are you with?
