Bert Chen is running in this community for MLA yet he hasn’t barely come into the riding during the election. He does not and never lived in the riding. I suspect that the drive into the riding is a bit too far for him.

ADVICE NEEDED Local companies for levelling driveway

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, the driveway on my property needs to be levelled out a bit so it is more flush with the concrete sidewalk and easier to drive on as the spot where we turn in and out has got some pretty deep holes. Needs to be properly done with the right equipment so looking for any suggestions on a suitable landscaping or small construction company. Definitely not a huge job but looking for someone solid for this and some work in the future. Thanks for any recommendations!

ADVICE NEEDED Question for recycling

4 Upvotes

Hello, the town outlines that recycling must be placed in bags or bins. Do the bins have to be blue recycling bins specifically or can you use other bins like black or grey ones and dedicate that for recycling? Just want to confirm and see what other people recommend here, thanks in advance!!

ADVICE NEEDED Italian restaurant that closed down

2 Upvotes

I need some help remembering about a place that I used to get lasagna at over 10 years ago. I dont think it exists anymore, because googling seems to come up with nothing. I would have gone there for the first time 12 years ago. I dont remember if it was a formal restaurant or more casual, because i would always order to go and pick it up while driving through ladysmith.

It was genuinely my favourite food but I havent thought about it in years, because i moved. Im going into ladysmith tomorrow and want to make sure ive exhausted all my options for searching before assuming they just closed down.

I wish I could remember more details. The only other thing I remember was it being on a hill (shocker, I know), and not too far off the highway.

I'm new to Ladysmith and trying to understand the garbage/recycling/organics system. I own 4 guinea pigs and I would dispose of their waste in the compost bin with the Calgary system. My question is are Guinea pig droppings and soiled hay permitted in the organics bin here in Ladysmith?

Hi There

My work internet is inconsistent even with Rogers home visit. They suggested I install a new Ethernet. Please does anyone know a reliable company who can do this? We live in a prefab house with a crawl space.
