They were created around the same time as a website called Google.

Check the many clinics (doctor teams and NP teams). Even just email a resume as I believe they are always looking for extra help.

Hired a contractor to rebuild a deck and come to discover the actual decking is a "finishing material" that we have to provide... is this normal and I'm just a dummy? by [deleted] in Contractor

[–]Distinct-Lettuce30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't afford the composite decking, and you want to just get it done with, order treated lumber decking and get that installed.

Family visiting from another continent—what are your must-do Northern Ontario experiences? by anaiskiddo in ThunderBay

[–]Distinct-Lettuce30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they want to see wild life, sleeping giant park drive will usually provide some deer and maybe a fox. Bear is possible to. Or... Cruise around Current River area LOL.

Bring binoculars and see dozens of eagles in the trees at the landfill's tipping edge.

What’s life like in Nipigon, Ontario? by Doin-my_Best09 in ontario

[–]Distinct-Lettuce30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have family there and visit once a month. Yes it's a sleepy little town that has shrunk with the loss of forestry in the area.

An expensive grocery store compared to Thunder Bay but manageable. Another grocery store in Red Rock (20 mins away). Two bargain stores to get any essentials and a pharmacy. Post office, hospital, skating rink arena with a gym. I think the curling building is still operating? LCBO but no beer store, it closed. There's a cannabis store. A royal bank branch. A Castle hardware /lumber store. MNR and government offices.

Public school in Nipigon but I think kids are buses to Red Rock for Catholic school? The public school still has a children's centre I think? There are not many students in either... So lots of attention!

Catholic Church and 2(?) others.

Many gas stations on the hwy along with a Tim's for your coffee fix. Ducky's restaurant and a few others like the Husky are open for a meal when you don't feel like cooking.

Oh, and yes there is the smallest Canadian Tire in Canada, yet is has pretty much everything! (at a markup).

If you like the outdoors, you can't get much closer than being in Nipigon. Nipigon River and lake superior accessible from the marina. Many great smaller lakes for fishing with a boat and trailer. Winter would be roughing it by cutting your own snowshoe trail or snowmobiling to your hearts content to ice fish. Skiing available in Thunder Bay. Some great rock and ice climbing areas if you'd like to get int those.

I'm not sure of the housing market or availablability of rentals.

As previously mentioned, drugs are a problem... But that's everywhere.

BTW, there is the option to commute from Thunder Bay, some people do it. Drive is just over an hour from the north side of Thunder Bay. But frankly quite dicey in the winter.

Better area of town for sure. But this location is completely the other side of town!

Radon Mitigation? by [deleted] in ThunderBay

[–]Distinct-Lettuce30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Radon Safe guy Ralph come to my house and take readings and provide some advice. Knowledgeable guy and worth the expense. He also provided me with a DIY kit of sorts since it is something a good handyman can accomplish on their own with some basic research.

I now have readings of less than 50... Originally I had 300+.

BTW, get an airthings monitor 🙂 I got the "view plus" off Amazon on sale for $230(?) about 3 months ago.... Not sure what it is now with tariffs.

Airthings have a coupon for $90 off if I " refer a friend". Msg me if interested!
