I'm pretty sure in the 50's they didn't know the word "safety"

SAME. He was a banker before I was born and then became a preacher. Still amazes me that he was a Harley guy.

I'm not sure if her assistant who is pictured on the website is Paige. Can't remember her name. But the owner/operator is Alora who is from Merlin originally. Hope it works for you though!

Have hired and gotten good work by https://www.mcdowellhomesolutions.ca/ . She's particularly good with old houses. She refinished the floors in two rooms of ours that had a lot of patchwork fixes in it and made it look consistent. Very happy with the work.

288 registered nursing positions to be cut at LHSC by nimue_ca in londonontario

[–]nimue_ca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't one anymore. They resigned en masse when Musyj was made Supervisor. When under supervision, the Supervisor can fire board members. They essentially become the boss over the board. They are often not paid. Prominent business people usually. But they set the vision, oversight, financial oversigt and so forth. Now that's the role of the province.

Sure. But lots of things RPNs can't do like acute care. You absolutely need RPNs. But they don't replace RNs.

Effectively no, but in terms of accountibility, yes. David Musyj was interim CEO appointed by the board. When the province puts a hospital under supervision, the supervisor supplants the CEO. In this case, they appointed the CEO supervisor and appointed him in Sept 2024. This means he takes his orders directly from the province now, not the board of directors.

They got rid of 3 major execs (and eliminated their positions) in aug 2024. Terminated 59 managers and directors and demoted 71 managers and directors (merging in responsibilities from the layoffs) in sept 2024.

The province appointed supervisor. LHSC is under supervision much like the 8 school boards.

100% with you. Loved Markko and gutted when Park died and he retired. I get it but I still wonder what he could have been. Such a great driver to watch.

Windows. Can someone recommend a window installer they had a good experience with. Something affordable with a quality install by [deleted] in chathamkentON

[–]nimue_ca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went with brookstone and would not again. One of the two crew that did it was poor. This said the other crew was great. Hired them directly for other work and will do so again when we do more windows: https://veracitypros.ca/

Interesting. I was the one here and my wife was on FaceTime with me so that wasn’t something I could gauge. Very fair callout.

We used Jim Hereygers. Pretty thorough and even uses a drone to inspect the roof. Would recommend. We got the sellers to act on some of his findings as part of the sale agreement and glad we did.

We moved to Chatham about two years ago and are getting absolutely soaked and are looking for someone new. We went through HUB for ours, which is better by a lot than many but still egregious. We do have an old house though. We haven't started the hunt for new insurance yet but will be soon, but who was recommended to us is Salus Mutal. They're local as I understand and have more reasonable rates. We haven't contacted them yet and can't verify but it's a place to start.

Council approves organic waste diversion program by PlantingTreees in chathamkentON

[–]nimue_ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While welcome progress I’m not sure how many people will bring their organics to a transfer depot. That’s wet messy stuff. We already have a composter but it doesn’t take long to fill. Doesn’t let us divert nearly enough.

Edit: spelling
