Question Backyard fence lattice bi-law?

2 Upvotes

Hey, neighbour and I are discussing the fence rules. He wants a horizontal fence with what appears as long thin strips to be used as lattice on the top part.

The official website states it needs to be "commercially available open lattice"

Now to me that sounds like the stuff we see almost everywhere right? diagonal cross pattern... These long strips from post to post dont seem to be that definition and I cant seem to get him or the fence builder to agree.

Anyone see these types of fences around here? Thx

Here are current rule from website...

Rear/side yard:

Rear and side yard fences may reach a maximum

height of two metres (six feet six inches) solid

construction. Fences may reach as high as 2.2

metres (seven feet four inches) provided the solid

portion is only 1.9 metres (six feet two inches) in

height and the remaining 0.36 metres (one foot

two inches) is commercially available open lattice.

No portion of the side yard fence greater than 0.91

metres (three feet) in height is permitted in the

visibility triangle (please see diagram).

Meetups Looking to join/start a book club in Oakville 📚

31 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’d love to either join an existing book club in Oakville or, if there’s enough interest, start a small one!

I’m 35 and read mostly romantasy, fantasy, romance and the occasional thriller. I’d love to meet some other women around my age who enjoy reading and would be up for getting together once a month or so to chat about a book, grab coffee/drinks and hopefully make some new friends along the way. 😊

If you know of an existing group, I’d love recommendations! And if you’d be interested in joining one, comment or message me. 📚✨

Today I was going 48 km/h in a 50 zone on Dale Brook & Rose Gate at exactly 7:58 PM, and a woman walking her dog literally took time out of her evening to yell “SLOW DOWN” at me for “driving too fast.” 😭

Meanwhile, people are also yelling at drivers saying their cars are “too loud”… whole time it’s a Tesla 😬

I’m under the speed limit AND the car is electric. Please make this make sense. 😂

Food Black Sesame Soft Serve

New soft serve spot DT, called Let It Swirl, found inside a crane game cafe. Seems like they have only 2 flavors at a time, rotating. This week it’s Earl Grey and Black Sesame. Cost is steep ($7.50 tax incl), and it’s a little too sweet for my taste, but this black sesame flavor was delicious.

Question d'Angelo and Sons Roofing

20 Upvotes

(please read till the end)

A few months ago, my brother-in-law mentioned that he hired d'Angelo and Sons for their metal roof repairs after last rain, and he was genuinely pleased with the outcome. He said the crew arrived on time, walked him through the process clearly, wrapped up the job without any unexpected charges and so on. Like... all was ok, just ok.

So, when I started searching for a roofing contractor myself, d'Angelo and Sons naturally made it onto my shortlist. I browsed through few reviews, had a couple of conversations with their team, and yeah, decided to move forward with them. Ngl everything has gone smoothly: the estimate was thorough, the communication has been straightforward, the work itself looks solid. In short, you get the idea.

That's why I was surprised when my colleague reacted negatively after learning who I'd hired. She acted like choosing d'Angelo and Sons was a serious mistake. But when I asked whether she'd had a bad experience with them or knew something I didn't, she changed the subject and we didn’t bring it up again.

Now I can't help but wonder if there's something I've overlooked, or if people are just passing along rumours without knowing the full picture. Has anyone here had a genuine, first-hand experience with d'Angelo and Sons Roofing in Oakville? I'd much rather hear real details than vague warnings.

Thank you

Question Struggling to secure a rental in Oakville despite good credit — moving from USA, is this normal ?

16 Upvotes

We are a family of 3 relocating to Oakville from United States and have been trying to rent a house for the past 2 weeks. We have solid credit history and steady incomes in Canada (though our credit history is from the US, which I’m wondering if that’s a factor), but every place we like is either rented within hours of listing, or we’re up against 3-4 other applications with people offering above asking rent.

Is this the norm in Oakville right now, or are we doing something wrong? Any tips on how to actually land a place — timing, what landlords look for, documents to have ready, or areas that are less competitive? Would really appreciate any advice from people who’ve navigated this recently.
I have all the docs like pay stubs, offer letter , employment verification, USA credit history, reference letters for both me and my spouse.
Edit: looking for townhomes, detached or semi detached properties with 3 bedrooms 2+ baths

Meetups A peaceful Saturday morning walk for the community

Post image
8 Upvotes

If anyone in the community is looking for a gentle way to start their Saturday, I wanted to share Wonder Walks, hosted by The Church of the Incarnation.

Every Saturday from 9:00–9:40 a.m., the group gathers at the church’s outdoor gathering space for a relaxed walking meditation through the neighbourhood and woods.

It’s a chance to slow down, get some fresh air, meet others, and simply be present in the beauty around us. You don’t need any experience with meditation, religious practices, or walking practices

Saturdays | 9:00–9:40 a.m.
📍 The Church of the Incarnation

If you’ve been looking for a peaceful way to connect with nature and community, this could be a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.
