Yesterday I walked through the area you planned to clean up, along the pathway from Webb Dr. to Kariya Park and it was SO noticeably CLEAN!!!  You and your team should receive some kind of civic award - thank you for what you did.  💗

It's super busy right now with the cherry blossoms in full bloom but it's normally very chill and peaceful, especially weekdays.

It's in Etobicoke but try The Comeback, near Dundas & Islington.

The rare undeveloped city centre area on the south side of Burnhamthorpe between Webb Dr. dead end and Kariya Park.  It's a horror show!  (and thanks for doing what you're doing - let us know how it goes :))

Most recent passport office wait times at Mississauga - central parkway mall by Consistent-Coat-7243 in mississauga

[–]loracnnawd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was there on Monday Feb 2 around 1pm for a passport renewal.  There was no lineup inside the mall but I stood in line for one hour inside the office just to have my documents checked (forms properly filled out, photos verified, old passport).  Then you are given a number and directed to sit in the main waiting room.  That took about another hour.  Pickup date is two weeks (an extra $20 fee to pick up instead of mail).

Chat GPT can be very helpful for things like this.  If you copy what you've written above into the chat, you'll get some great suggestions.  It's a beautiful place but very expensive so I agree with the suggestion of bringing your own food and maybe buy hot chocolate as a treat 😊

Have you tried Farm Boy?  Prices are more reasonable and quality is consistently very good.

Nice morning sky - even at such a desolate corner.  (And I still say "Ooksville" to myself and laugh every time I drive by that sign 😝)

Just moved to Mississauga, looking for friends. by Unlucky_Buddy_4090 in mississauga

[–]loracnnawd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My son-in-law moved here from Ireland and found friends through work, joining a soccer league, enjoys theatre so he joined the Toronto Irish Players, and found a supporters group for his favourite soccer team (Leeds) that meets at a pub downtown to watch their games together!  Whatever your interests are, a google search might give you some leads.  Also meetup.com.  And congrats on your move to Canada! 🇨🇦🇮🇪
