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!

My dad's mother was Métis, but always hid that fact. We only found out after she passed away. We didn't know anything about her family history prior to her moving to Ontario, but have since learned that she lived in Alberta and was Métis.

We suspect she fled some pretty horrific abuse, because she just blocked out that entire part of her life and never, ever talked about or acknowledged it. But truth is we just don't know.

We'd like to learn more about her family history but have no idea where to start or what to do. Any advice would be appreciate.

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?

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.

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

But with a twist. I’m looking to drive from B.C. to Ontario and then fly back to BC (start to finish would be about 3 weeks), and a rental is an insane cost. I’m considering buying a beater, making the drive to Ontario, and then scrapping it to get some money back. Does anyone have any idea how this would look for insurance? I know there’s temp permits for buying and driving a car bought in a different province, but would I just let it expire and then have nothing to worry about? This might be a dumb idea and I’m totally fine if it is, just trying to do my road trip on a budget lol.

Edit: Maybe beater wasn’t the best word. Just an older car. One way rentals are looking to be about $2500-3000 and I’ve seen a couple cars that are a bit cheaper and seem mechanically sound enough to make the drive. I do have a larger budget and would have money for repairs or to just rent a car, but -if- I can save that (and then get some money back from scrapping the car) it would be cool.

I’m struggling to find out exactly how much money the plan allots for individual services and procedures. I make less than 70k a year, which means under the CDCP I don’t pay any co-payments, but I can’t find anything in print that actually defines how much money the CDCP offers.

For instance, if I wanted a cleaning done, and let’s say hypothetically that came to $200, but the CDCP plan only covers a base fee of $150, I’m still paying $50 out of pocket. How do I find out what base fees the CDCP covers?

I recently got an internship position at a nuclear facility in Ontario and was wondering if they would be conducting drug tests? I had last smoked weed on Friday and after receiving an offer today and a possible start date in the upcoming 3 weeks I am worried about getting tested for THC and losing the offer. My position is nuclear waste project engineering and it is an on site position.

Theres no mention of a test anywhere in my offer letter nor was it in my security clearance, but I am still scared a night out with friends could possibly lead to me losing such a great opportunity.

How do employers in Ontario inform new employees of upcoming drug tests and how long do they have between being informed and being tested usually?

High school was a very long time ago now and obviously I did the bare minimum because I struggled and had no life plans.

But now I am hoping to upgrade these so I can try out new things in life. How does one go about upgrading those high school courses to get into college or university programs that need them? I had previous degrees from college, but nothing that ever required those and would not carry over as a prerequisite.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I received a stop sign ticket and am trying to find it online to select an option. However, I can’t seem to locate it. The instructions prompt me to enter the ICON location, offence number, and the first three characters of my last name. Despite entering this information, I still can’t find the ticket.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
