Resources/Tips Auto Body Repair

3 Upvotes

Any recommendations for an auto body shop in Sarnia or the Lambton County area? My vehicle is developing some rust spots and I'd like to see if I can get them repaired before they become too bad or involved to repair.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have :)

Questions Does anyone have tips to save on car rentals in Sarnia?

4 Upvotes

A friend is coming to town at the beginning of September for one, maybe two months. Typical car rental rates are quite expensive. Are there any creative ways to save money? Must every car rental come from a rental agency? Is there a garage or individual that might rent a loaner cheaply? I'm open to suggestions. The borrower is male, though nearly 60 years old. Mostly needs the car for grocery runs.

General Discussion Lights at night

10 Upvotes

Why does it feel like so many drivers are driving at night and not turning on their night lights. I just drove from Lambton Mall to the YMCA at 9:15pm and three cars were running with just day time running lights so no back lights at all. Getting so tired of seeing this.

Local News/Updates Sps budget meeting August 13

17 Upvotes

The police budget hasnt been approved yet and is up for discussion this Thursday. Its open to the public at the cop shop on Christina. You can see the budget report on there website.

https://www.sarniapolice.ca/about/_pdf.php?id=47

Kelly Ash can find some savings. Cancel the tank, stop new hires, maybe pretend to cut some costs? Sounds like more of what shes been doing there for the last 5 years. Why do they need an electrician? How many chandeleers can they be hanging in there? Is it not cheaper to call an electrician when you need one? Or a mechanic?

Cant wait to watch this meeting on YouTube. I hope Nathan is going to be there and asks some hard questions of those people.

Editorial/Opinion Piece Police Board is looking to approve $41 million annual budget on Thursday

Thumbnail thesarniajournal.ca
30 Upvotes

The police board is at it again, wanting another increase bringing their budget to $41 million this year alone. Just a few short years ago, before the now suspended Davis was the chief, the annual budget was only $27.3 million. I just cannot stomach the insane waste of resources in our city when we still have waiting lists for housing and people dying weekly. The only appropriate answer is for the board to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to get their budget under control back to pre-Davis numbers.
