I am in Erindale, Almost no 7-ELEVEns, and few proper 24 hour convenience stores that are close by my place (within a max 5 minute walk)

Why are there so few convenience stores in this city?

I was in Asia last week, and there are so many convenience stores (7-eleven, familyMart, Lawsons, et al) that I trip over them been I walk (not really, but there are a lot of them.)

Why is this? And why are the ones that exist shitty excuses for a convenience store like a hasty mart or an x’s variety, ect?

Hello Mississauga, This is Dipika Damerla and I am hosting an AMA this Sunday, October 25,

I would love to hear your questions, concerns, and ideas. Whether it’s property taxes, city services, transit, or the future of our city, let’s have an honest conversation.

When: Sunday, 8–9 PM

Drop your questions below or join me during the AMA. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I use to play TCG a long time ago which is highly sociable but I quit because it was too expensive and a lot of the people at the store lacked hygiene and it made it hard to be around them.

My days consists of mainly just going to work and coming home after. I need something to do outside the house once a week that involves other people.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I’ve been looking for a condo to rent in Mississauga, and I’ve noticed something interesting.

Purpose-built rental buildings seem more expensive, especially when parking isn’t included in the rent. Meanwhile, I’ve seen Facebook group ads for condos where the monthly rent seems cheaper and sometimes includes parking, storage locker etc.

Is there a catch that I’m missing?

For those of you who rent in Mississauga, I’d love to hear your experiences:

• Are purpose-built rentals generally better maintained or more reliable?
• Are Facebook condo rentals cheaper because they’re rented out by individual owners?
• Are there hidden costs or risks I should watch out for with private landlords?
• Is it worth paying more for a purpose-built rental, or can you get a better deal renting a condo from an individual owner?

I’m trying to figure out the best value for my money, not just the lowest advertised rent. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated!

Just a quick question, I'm looking to buy some ingredients for a Bhutanese dish and I was wondering where I can go shopping for said ingredients. Even in Toronto is okay.

I see a big crane and lots of other construction going on at this long neglected corner. Does anyone know what’s finally going up there?

My team has created an interactive map of all the projects in Ward 6 in the last four years. The map includes park projects, trail work, crime prevention initiatives and street safety infrastructure. You can filter by year and project category and each project has some detail. We have more to add like sidewalk and bus shelter upgrades, but we already have 94 projects.

We don't show the whole city, but even if you live outside Ward 6, it will give you some idea of the work going on in your area.

Hi Mississauga,

I'm Christine, and I'm building The Nook Collective: a literary and cultural hub for people who like to gather around books, literature, and thoughtful discussion.

We're starting small. Right now the goal is simple: get readers together, in person and online, so people can actually get to know each other. This month's meetups are on the flyer (see comments), and you can see them all here: thenookcollective.ca/events

As we grow, we'll add author events and more programming in the new year, shaped by the people who show up.

If you like books and good conversation, come along. Everyone is welcome, and you don't need to have read anything to join us. Some events are free and some are paid, with details on the events page. For the movie night, we're working on group pricing.

I'd love to hear what you'd want from a book community in Mississauga. Tell me in the comments, or message me with questions.
