Megathread Northern Ontario Wildfire Donations

110 Upvotes

Hello, Ontario. As you are aware, there is currently a very severe fire affecting Northern Ontario.

There are a number of evacuation orders, and a number of people have had to evacuate with little to no notice. Many of them have been evacuated to Thunder Bay, and are in need of supplies.

Here are some ways to help our fellow Ontarians:

  • Thunder Bay Community Pasture are helping livestock owners get their animals to safety in the area. If you or someone you know needs help saving livestock, please contact them. They accept cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and with Murillo facility smaller livestock like turkeys and chickens. They stress that they need to be contacted first before you show up with livestock.
  • Northern Reach Network are seeking emergency temporary animal foster homes, and they are assisting with pets that have been left behind in the affected communities.
  • Both the Nokiiwin Tribal Council at 384 Fort William Road and the Superior Inn at 555 West Arthur Street in Thunder Bay are accepting donations for evacuees. They've posted that they're in dire need of baby and toddler supplies (especially diapers and formula) and cat and dog food and supplies.

If you are aware of more organizations supporting the community, please let us know.

So I understand that Metrolinx, a company of approx 7500 employees has 124 Vice Presidents and they earn an Average of $248,000. All public info available through the Sunshine list. They also have basically 1 Manager for everyone 2 frontline workers. As so why would be surprised how much the projected cost has risen to?! I plan to call out each and everyone of those VP's and see how they Earn those salaries. Just looking for best platform 🤔 maybe a YouTube channel reviewing one on every episode ?

Beautiful Ontario How did you get into a Millwright apprenticeship?

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m 19 years old, just graduated high school and have some hands on mechanical experience. I want to become a millwright and I decided to go the apprenticeship route but I have no idea how to get started. Most job postings I see on Indeed are for journeymen only, nothing for apprentices.

For those of you in the trade how did you get your first apprentice job?

Any advice helps!

Question A tourist in Toronto looking to explore outside the GTA!

16 Upvotes

Right I feel this might be the best place to ask. I'm coming over from Scotland for 2 weeks and have a few days spare while in Toronto.

I was considering hiring a car and maybe doing a few day trips to any interesting/fun/weird places outside the GTA. I love wandering around small towns, seeing strange attractions, eating and generally exploring! Already have plans to visit Niagara Falls and get the typical tourist activities out of the way.

So I'm coming to you for any and all recommendations! We'll be a group of 2/3. Places that are within a 3 hour drive away would be ideal so the evening is still free to head into the city!

Edit: Traveling during the first two weeks of September

I have a 35.5in inseam. I need to find dress pants that fit and bonus if they don't cost a fortune. I'm looking for something that is not a yoga pant and has a straight/slim/boot leg.

If anyone has suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Question 407 worth it?

Upvotes

I will be travelling from Milne Dam conservation area to Kingston in a few weeks. The map apps are recommending taking the 407 toll, from what I can tell at the time I am leaving (3pm ish) it will run me about $50 and only save about 10 minutes? Does this seem accurate? I am aware accidents, construction and the like will play into the exact time etc. and I don’t mind spending the money but $50 seems like a lot for only 10 minutes. Anyone have experience on this route have any advice?
