Saw a dude carrying a juvenile squirrel into Sobey's today.

Please don't do that.

My girlfriend and I have purchased an old converted schoolhouse in the Orangeville/Shelburne region of Ontario as our new home and we need to replace the old front door. Normally we would just need a standard inward swing on a home where winter snow is a concern but as it used to be a schoolhouse and there are stairs and a landing just inside the entrance, we are forced to stick with the outward swing. There is a small vestibule to help guard against the snow and in the future we plan to add an additional external door on it but for now, one thing at a time. We're ready and able to do the work necessary but we are finding it difficult to source a left handed outswing external door that doesn't look like it's for a garage and doesn't use up all of our budget. We briefly toyed with the idea of reversing an inswing door but research confirmed that although technically possible, for the amount of work, security, and impact on weather proofing, etc. it wouldn't be practical. I'm hoping that someone might have some suggestions or potential leads on where we could find one. The standard big box outlets have minimal, if any, options available that we've found. It's a bit dark on the inside landing so we are hoping to source something simple in a shaker style with at least 1/4 lite, but preferably 1/2 to 3/4.

Hi Everyone,

This morning I registered to run for councillor.

I am actively involved in the Town through committees, volunteering, sharing information and keeping all of you informed.

I want to take all of that one step further by serving the residents of Orangeville for the next four years.

Thank you to everyone who has given me words of encouragement and have followed me on this journey.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here who tried looking for my wallet, community is such a wonderful thing.

Yesterday and today I've been scrambling cancelling and issuing new cards. This morning while at the bank, inputting my pin to my new debit card, Athlete Institute calls and tells me they have my wallet. I almost cried in the bank. I'll be heading to your wonderful city again this evening. ❤️

I have a friend that is looking to move to Orangeville and was wondering how is the area near Parkinson Centennial/Quatre-Rivieres? I'm fairly newish to Orangeville so I'm not familar with this area myself. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the support you've shown regarding my recent announcement to run for councillor.

If anyone wants to chat, please send me a message and we can work something out.

I'd rather talk in person or at least over the phone as text can lose context and tone.

The Alder Pump Track is coming — and it's going to be worth the wait. 

We know many of you have been watching this project closely, and we want to be upfront about where things stand.
The track's asphalt didn't meet the quality standards we require, so we made the call to remove it and start fresh. The cost of correcting that work is being covered by the third-party contractor responsible — not by Orangeville taxpayers. That work started this spring, and we're now waiting on seasonal road restrictions to lift in early May before repaving can begin. Once the new asphalt is down, the final touches — shade shelters, line markings, signage and fencing removal — will follow.

We're aiming for a summer 2026 opening of the pump track so that it can be used and enjoyed while the weather is good.
Thank you for your patience. Our community deserves a track done right, and that's exactly what we're building

I realize this is likely a fruitless pursuit, but I seem to have lost my wallet yesterday. I'm from Muskoka almost 2hr away so ideally I'd like to know it's there before making the trip to go hunting. It's a black folded Quicksilver. It's at one of 2 locations. I had it at Canadian Tire, went to the Tesla chargers across the parking lot, and then to the Athlete Institute.

I'm going to call the Athlete Institute when they open in 5 minutes, but there's no way for me to have someone check the chargers. If anyone happens to be in the area today, could you have a look around the chargers? I was at stall 1A.

I'm happy to donate the cash in the wallet to whoever finds it. What else should I do, call the police in case someone turns it in? Kicking myself right now.

edit: Athlete Institute doesn't appear to answer the phone, so if someone was willing to stop there on their way by that would also be great. I was parked in the row nearest to the front main doors.

My gf and I went to Soulyve for lunch today. She ordered the stuffed catfish patty; I had the reggae wrap.

The wrap was huge. I was only able to eat 1/3 at lunch.

Definitely go check it out
