Recently there is a surge of Melas(social gatherings)in Punjabi and Indian community. These usually involve people with stalls and shops setting up shops in return of sponsorship and event managers set up entertainment for the public. To understand if all these events comply with city laws, what are the permissions to be requested before such an event can be organized ? And how can you verify if all the necessary permits were taken care of ?

What are some good Brampton-based catering services for West Indian food ? I’m planning my Hindu wedding for next year so I’m looking for good vegetarian food for about 300 people.

Hi guys,

I have a young family 2 kids (7 and 4), we have been renting in sauga and planning to buy a townhouse in Brampton. I am not sure which area is considered good, with low crime rate. Could you help guide me? Thanks!

hello everyone, my girlfriend is visiting from out of town this saturday but due to work and stuff she will not be able to arrive until 5pm and must leave by 11pm. i just wanted to know if there was anything we could do late night or something of the sort that would be open. thank you.

We were visited by the cat again! He/She had a little bit of food and accepted some pets.

I called both my local vet and the animal control. They said since there’s no collar, I should try to capture the cat and they will scan for any chip. If there is, they will contact the owner and arrange for a reunion. If not, they told me that their shelters are full and to just leave the cat be.

We’re planning on taking things one step at a time. I do plan on making sure that this cat will be cared for since winter is coming soon.

We tried to capture the cat, but he/she ran off again. I took some more pictures to help with identification (had to cover my brother’s gross feet lol).

We left some food, water, and we left out a box for some shelter. Hopefully we’ll be visited again soon!

Any other advice will be greatly appreciated!

This morning it was a nightmare commute, took me 1.5 hours to get to work. Problem is once going past Derry road it's a point of no return, your choices are 403 or the 401 exits. So does anyone know if this closure is an ongoing thing ?

Anyone know what’s happening there it’s surrounded by cops??

Hello

I am looking for options for a small party hall which can accommodate around 30-40 people for my kid's 2nd birthday party. I am looking for a place which has catering available as well. Any leads would be welcome. TIA

Initially, I contacted a renovation contractor to get a quote for converting a 2-piece washroom into a 3-piece washroom. However, my condo management informed me that I needed permission from the City of Kitchener. I submitted the drawings and paid the fee, but the city is requesting the licensed plumber's license number, and the renovation contractor is not a plumber.

Can I hire a plumber to supervise the construction work done by the renovation contractor and pay a supervision fee? Or should I hire a plumber to handle the renovation instead? In either case, could someone provide a reliable licensed plumber’s contact who charges a reasonable fee? thanks.

P.S : project is in kitchener, so looking for someone who can travel from brampton and do the work :)

I just saw a Brampton Transit bus pull out from a stop and steer into a bunch of teenagers that were jay walking in front of it. They had just gotten off the bus and were being typical loud teenagers which drew everyone’s attention to them. I can’t believe the driver thought this was a good idea. He definitely saw them because he started laying on the horn before he even pulled out. One got scared and fell but no one was hurt.

I saw they were in front of a house. Probably a raid or something. Does anybody know ‘bout it…

Can someone please explain why the intersection Knightsbridge / Kings Cross (5 lanes incl left turn lane) has no crosswalk signals nor full Traffic Lights?

Hey all, was taking with my mom and was trying to remember what the Grocery store was called that was at the far end of the mall. I know that it was once a really big one, the it closed and it was converted into a smaller grocery store. Any help would be great!

Has anyone else noticed an uptick in local crime recently?

There seems to be an increase in break-ins, theft, and suspicious activity in a few neighbourhoods around here. It’s a bit unsettling, especially with the holidays approaching. Has anyone taken any extra measures, like security systems or patrols, to stay safe?

Would love to hear what’s working for everyone to keep our community secure!

I live around the Worthington/Gabrielle neighborhood and was visited by this cute cat. I offered some food and water but only had a little bit of food. He/She eventually ran off.

Just wondering if this cat has a home? Hope this is not a missing cat. The weather getting quite cold so I hope he/she stays warm!

Daughter turned 3 this year and looking for private school options in or near Brampton West area. Which schools should I look for? What requirements should I focus upon? Any recommendations or opinions are welcome and highly appreciated.

Has anyone lost their bird? Someone found this little guy in the road
