I would contact Bonnie or Sharon at Pet Stuff just east of 8th Street on Lakeshore Blvd south side.  If anyone would know about cat sitters, they would.

Lake Shore's LGBT Community

My partner and I have lived at Royal York & Lake Shore since the end of August and we really love the area - we will definitely be staying here for a while! We noticed that there are are many LGBT residents in the area but no real "community" feeling between all of us. This is the sence of gay pride that you find in many Downtown communities but is foreign to Etobicoke. We decided that we are going to try to help make the Lake Shore Villages area more LGBT positive this year, with the help…See More

Discussion initiators can delete discussions they started

Hi Everyone,

 

Recently some content from the site has been removed, and after investigating, I can only conclude that they were removed by the originators. On this site when you create a discussion, you have the ability to delete it, and all related items will be removed (sometimes that part doesn't work perfectly).

 

It would be a last resort that the moderator team would delete content outright; and it has happened rarely in the two years the site has been…

What's happening at Humber

I've been out riding around the Humber Lakeshore campus lately and it makes me very happy to see the things that are going on. Below is a Project Status document I found on the humber.ca site outlining what they are doing. At the end they have a mockup of what the new construction in the middle of the site will look like. Its also cool to know that the old car dealership is now a CSI training facility. Have a look.…

Do you know the style of your house?

As the renovation season gets going (you know the one that goes all year) I thought I would post a a link to a site I did when I was first learning about my New Toronto bungalow. The motive of the site is to help homeowners learn about the original style of their house so they can make renovation decisions that are in-keeping with the bones of their house.



The front page of the site:…
