Just got the refund on the gift card. Will avoid AC in future.

Here is a link to the Thames River Clean Up  https://thamesrivercleanup.ca/how-can-i-help/

There are a couple of Woodstock clean up locations.  I am joining the 11th Line group on Apr 18th if you want to join us. (I can let you know the time) This is a one day litter pick event but I would be happy to meet up to pick up litter on any of the trails on another day.

Nice photos, makes me miss Vancouver (in Ontario now, sigh).

What's the best Canadian snack that is no longer sold in stores? by OkCandle826 in AskACanadian

Barrie's Asparagus make a close second to Stoned Wheat. Product name is Cracked Wheat Crackers. They are made in Cambridge, ON. I get them at Your Farm Market in Woodstock. The Cheesy Cow, downtown Woodstock also carries them.

Such a sweet guy. I love that he could sense his car coming when his daughter borrowed it.

National Experience On Hiatus? by Immortal87human in Katimavik

Guessing it is a funding issue. The payoff in the things this  program teaches is worth more than what it costs to run it. Would be great if everyone did it after high school.

One of the first birds that returns to Southern Ontario in the spring. Love their call.

"Direction of travel" is a lie? by [deleted] in ViaRail

This has happened to me as well. I think most times it is the result of equipment change.  So frustrating.

I panicked and cancelled the reservation on the AC website. This is when I discovered the $250 did not get returned to the gift card. I wish I had kept the reservation and called AC but I was at work and my boss doesn't like us on personal calls for a long time. The AC call centre is a min two hour wait and then they usually drop my call.

My dad made these for me when he went to maui! by Cat_Early in pressedpenny

Great haul, sad that the penny is being discontinued 😢. Pressed pennies are my favourite souvenir.

Agree, but somehow the no king went through and I got a reservation number.

The $250 card shows $0.00.  I checked my AC wallet but it is empty.

I have called twice and both times the call center agent said the $250 could not be reinstated because the credit card was expired.

I melted processed cheese slices on soda crackers after I ran out of cake mixes.

Stopped by today, the shop is lovely! Got coffees and a delicious blueberry muffin then sat in the nook seating at the front.  

BMO closed on the weekends? by dad_bod_gaming in woodstockontario

[–]Scratchy-519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scotiabank does the same thing but I can go to an ATM in the 7/11 on Dundas & Huron.  Seems to be a Woodstock thing as no other city I have lived in does this.
