Hello, fellow neighbours,

Every year, on Halloween night or the next day, I see posts with disappointment that few children knocked on their doors. Others are surprised how quickly they ran out of candy.

I have observed:

1. Word gets around. Kids talk to each other. For very young children, parents talk to each other.
2. Trick-or-treaters choose streets, not individual houses. Unless your house has an amazing reputation or decorations that draw people to the entire street, the number of trick-or-treaters depends on how popular your street is for trick-or-treating. A street with history of several well decorated houses or good candy givers is more likely to attract trick-or-treaters this year.

So one house may run out of candy early while another wonders where the children went.

If you want to attract more trick-or-treaters, start putting out pumpkins or Halloween decorations early. The reverse also applies. 😄

If you have put in all that effort and turnout is still slow, I suggest that you leave a bowl of candy outside and walk around your neighbourhood. Enjoy the decorations. Halloween is a great time to enjoy the neighbourhood in a good light and Christmas is almost 2 months away.

Happy Halloween in advance!

need help to find a personal trainer

Hi!

Just moved to Mississauga and I’m looking for a good family doctor accepting new patients.

Currently registered under a doctor in Ajax but cannot travel frequently. Looking for a doctor available 3days in the clinic so it is easier to get appointments as I have an infant and a 4yr kid.

Help!

TIA

hi all,

i am in the process of finding my place in Mississauga with the family; for an outsider, it's so hard to figure out where. We are a family of 5. Some have advised on Stessville or Erin Mills.

Election signs are the property of candidates and their campaigns. Tampering with or removing these signs without authorization may result in criminal or provincial charges, depending on the circumstances.

Examples of election sign interference include:

Stealing election signs
Removing signs from authorized locations
Damaging or vandalizing signs
Relocating signs without permission
Disposing of signs in ditches, parks, or other public or private locations

Anyone who witnesses suspicious activity involving election signs is encouraged to contact police. If it is safe to do so, members of the public are asked to note suspect descriptions, vehicle information, or obtain video footage that may assist investigators.

I have 2 paid volunteer days from work that I'd like to use but, I'm brand new to Mississauga and don't know the city well enough to know where to go. The city website wasn't helpful for short term opportunities.

Good Morning,

Does anyone here use the carpool lot at QEW/Erin Mills Parkway and if so is it always full weekday mornings or will I be able to find a spot without any issue?

Thank you!

Hi r/mississauga, I'm Chris and I'm building The Nook Collective, a community-first literary project, with the goal of eventually opening a literary café here. Before the space exists, I'm starting with the part I care most about: the people.

It's called The Nook Shuffle. Here's how it works:

1. You vote. Each month there are five genres with three books each. You can vote in up to two genres, $5 a vote. This payment goes towards your $15 fee for the month.

2. The top-voted book in each genre becomes that month's pick.

3. We shuffle. You're placed in a small group (eight or fewer) with people you haven't met.

4. Mid-November, your group meets online for spoiler-free first impressions.

5. Late November, you meet in person in Mississauga.

6. At the in-person meetup, the discussion questions are personal. Instead of "did you like the ending?" they connect the characters' choices to your own life and what's going on in the world.

Your $5 votes are credited toward your seat, so voting isn't an extra cost. Next month it starts again with new books and new groups.

November's shortlist:

Speculative Fiction: I Who Have Never Known Men, The Grace Year, The Road

Horror: Empire of Wild, The Luminous Dead, Wolf Worm

Crime Fiction: My Sister, the Serial Killer, Still Life, The Maid

New Releases: Hollywood, Ending, The French Illusion, Threshing Day

Romance: Book Lovers, Part of Your World, The Love Hypothesis

Voting closes Sunday, October 18: thenookcollective.ca/vote

I'd love to hear which genre you'd vote for, and what you wish book clubs did differently. Happy to answer questions here.

Vote for the November titles

All I could find was a very not user friendly Region of Peel website.

I know there used to be a Peel Region list but that's disappeared and there doesn't seem to be a City of Mississauga list anywhere.

I have stitches on my face that I need removed. Does anyone know where I can go to get this done? I live in the Heartland area of Mississauga. I have tried several walk-in clinics but none of them do it.

Hello Mississauga residents! I have heard that Erindale Park is a good place to visit to see the salmon run? Can someone let me know if this is a good idea to go this weekend? Are there still salmon at that time?

For those that have gone recently, how was your experience?

Also is fishing salmon possible at this time? I am not planning to fish now lol, just curious!

Thank you!

Planning a little fall picnic date, any good parks with good seating areas and a nice view? Specifically in the Meadowvale area! (But not plum tree park, already been there)

Just posting this because I've seen a few people looking for it. He just published it today.
Largely the same as his plan 2 years ago, and like what Damerla is proposing but a little more sensible in my opinion.

Mixed feelings about the Dundas LRT though.

Also Dixie Mall seems to be misplaced, it should be more north.

I was in Bakery on Mavis on Saturday morning a few weeks back and as I was lining up to order. An Eastern European senior moved next to me. I thought she was lining up too coz the place is cramped on the best of days, then she tapped my shoulder and mimed an eating gesture with her hands.

I played dumb and said "yes this is where you order" but then she pouted in an exaggerrated way and pointed at the wall menu. I looked at the staff and they were all watching us. One met my eyes and shook his head like "no don't do it." I told the lady no and she walked into my personal space and just kept doing that eating motion again.

From what I can tell she was pretty well dressed (wore better clothes than I had on) so it was probably a scam of some sort where she'd try to beg free food off of people. When it was clear she wasn't going to get me to order she left.

The staff said she'd been bothering people all morning but didn't want to cause a scene getting rid of her in case someone was filming in secret. One of the other patrons said they saw her getting dropped off in a white Ford pickup.

Has this person or someone similar shown up in any other businesses in Sauga?

I met someone recently who’d memorized every postal code in the GTA. I’d name a street and they’d instantly tell me the first three characters. So I made a map to learn them, and Mississauga had a few surprises:

All 22 Mississauga codes run from L4T (Malton) to L5W (Meadowvale Village)

L5M (Churchill Meadows) has 106,468 people, more than any code in Toronto. Toronto’s biggest, M2N, has 75,100

L4V is basically Pearson Airport, with 5 residents

Hurontario & Burnhamthorpe is where three codes meet: L5B, L4Z and L5A

You can tap any code to see its neighbourhoods and the streets on its edges, search any address or intersection, and quiz yourself: torontopostalcodes.ca

How many Mississauga codes can you place without looking?
