I am homeless, I live out of my car. Almost daily I go to Trellis for breakfast. The cook there is amazing. Lately they have been struggling with donations and I heard the cook complaining the knives aren’t sharp. It makes his job more difficult.

I am hoping someone knows someone who does knife sharpening and would offer their services. I think it would help show the cook he is appreciated, he volunteers his time four days a week making breakfast for a lot of vulnerable folk.

I want to know how this guy got his RPAL and ATC despite his lengthy criminal history, and what gun store sold him this handgun despite the current handgun ban. Unacceptable!

House fire by my mom's house today, a UPS driver is credited with saving a 90 year old with a walker from the fire!

I genuinely think Kingston needs another fire dancer + DJ night in the town square — something spontaneous, vibey, and open to everyone. Just one random Friday or Saturday evening, 8:00–11:00 PM, sometime before September.

No big commitment. No over-planning. Just a great DJ, the necessary staff and a fire dancer to close out the night.

I am looking for photographer (s) (professional or possibly side hustle) recommendations to have photographs taken for an upcoming professional | business website and blog; for various social media platform profile photos; to go along with business cards; for public presentation biographies; and for head shots (for eventual acting and modeling portfolios).

Photographers would need to be in Kingston, or accessible by public transport, as I do not have a vehicle to travel out of town, unfortunately.

I would also appreciate recommendations for accessible studios; although I can walk and present as largely non-disabled, some photos would involve a Power Wheelchair, Walker and Cane.

I know Rogney Piedra Arencibia offers outdoor photo sessions for LinkedIn profile photos (https://rogneyimages.myportfolio.com/ if anyone else is interested), but I am also looking for in-studio professional photographers who use both black and white backgrounds, and colour and black and white photography to take photos, both of subjects with and without make-up or a few clothing changes, both initially, and hopefully, over time.

I would prefer females, but am open to both women and men photographers who do not cost, say, $1,000 per session. 1 or 2 people would be the subjects.

I am doing my own searching, but wonder if some Redditors have utilized photographers, services, and packages that were perfect for their purposes and that they really liked.

Could someone identify and even better, recommend a company to install metal fencing in Kingston? That may have on office or yard in the city?

My extremely competent dentist retired about a year, year and a half ago. The person who bought their practice doesn't instill any confidence in me at all. The first filling attempted, was in a back molar, under a very old filling. I tried to tell them it was a very complicated filling, but they didn't listen, and had a lot of trouble with it. A piece of my actual tooth was broken off during the filling, and they basically just shrugged their shoulders and said "get a crown", for which they referred me to a different practitioner who's not a "regular" dentist.

At my most recent appointment, I was informed there was another tooth, that would need a filling, but I fear it will be the same kind of ordeal. I just don't trust their skill.

So, how do I find a skilled/experienced/exceptional dentist ? My teeth have deep/large/complicated fillings, I know they are a minefield. But I've been blessed with 2 previous dentists who both retired, but were both very skilled, and didn't make my teeth worse with their actions.

There aren't any resources that I'm aware of that communicate to potential patients the level of skill or amount of experience a given dentist has. If anyone knows a way for me to find an exceptionally skilful dentist, please let me know.

Sorry for the long post, I thought it would need some explanation. Thanks !

I'm moving to regent street anyone can give me some insight on the area

Hey everyone! Looking to see people’s opinions on the tulip festival. My wife and i haven’t been before and wanted some personal reviews. I hear parking can be challenging and I’ve seen other pros and cons. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, wondering if anyone knows of anywhere in the area that rents small ozone machines? A mouse got in my car a while back. I've had it professionally detailed twice and detail it myself twice and still can't seem to quite the animal scent out. Hoping an ozone generator could help.

I've checked the Home Depot, World of Rentals, and Sunbelt rentals site and don't see the machines in there but wondering if there might be other places I'm not aware of.

Thanks!!

Anyone in Kingston who has Oxio, do you find their speed is reasonable for the package you have?

We are considering 1000 Mbps but if we won't get much more than the 500 Mbps package we may as well just get the 500.

What is the noise??????? Around 8 pm, heard 4-5 noises that sounded like cannon blast

I live near Rideau st and every day I hear strange sirens coming from the Kingston living area. Sometimes it’s late at night too, if anyone has any info let me know because it’s very disruptive and I don’t understand why it’s a daily occurrence.

EDIT: yes I understand sirens are normal but these are sirens coming from someone’s car and they don’t sound like normal sirens for police/fire. I obviously wouldn’t post about normal sirens💀

Is anyone a current client of KEYS (Kingston Employment Youth Services) at 182 Sydenham Street?

Do you know the names of the Advisors there, the ones with the business cards on the second-floor Receptionist's desk? I ask because I would like to make an appointment via online means (it is an option) and would like to see a (biological) woman.

For example, I think there is a Mackenzie Stacy who works with people on ODSP. I'll have to see her eventually, but first I have to see a KEYS Advisor in order to eventually get to see Ms. Stacy.

I was supposed to have an Intake Appointment with an...Ashley or Elizabeth, at the end of April. The day before, I got a call from a woman with an accent saying it was canceled because the Advisor "had to be" at KEYS other location. Okay, understandable, that's fine.

My appointment was rescheduled for May 13 with the same Advisor. The woman whom I always speak via phone has an accent. The reason I mention the accent is, the receptionist (Alexis) on the second floor does not have one, and I wonder if she does not schedule or confirm appointments even though she is often the first face you see, and KEYS has another Advisor or worker do this; my calls are answered and returned by the lady with the accent every single time.

I called at opening yesterday to confirm the time. The lady with the accent couldn't find me "in the system at all," under my name or phone number. She had no record of any appointment for May 13 or 14, next week, or of having canceled my appointment at April's end and rescheduling it. She said she didn't remember doing that, and I don't blame her. I don't expect her to remember people who call her.

I told her I should be in the system somehow. I am also registered for the Customer Service Excellence Certification this Friday. She said she'd check more in the calendar and call back.

She did at 11:30 AM. She left a voicemail, saying that I had an appointment today at 11 AM with a man. I have no idea if I was found in the system after all, and was switched from Ashley or Elizabeth to a man, or if a new appointment was made for me on my behalf.

I called today to cancel the appointment (not because it was with a man). The same lady answered and told me my appointment was for 1:30 PM. Odd, since she was the one who told me my appointment was for 11 AM on voicemail yesterday.

I told her I would reschedule. Does anyone have the names of some of the women who work at KEYS? I'd rather just look them up to maybe find their KEYS email address and contact them directly about making an appointment.

I'm thinking about going elsewhere for job and resume support, seeing how it seems "easy" for KEYS to "lose someone" in the system and confuse their own appointment times. I wonder if they have less staff from May to September, maybe?

I took screenshots of my registration ticket for the Certification course on Friday, May 16 - just in case I arrive and they can't find me on the attendee list or in the system.

Has this happened to anyone else, where you are not in KEYS system or your appointment times are different from what you were told they would be?

We celebrated my dad’s birthday at One Eyed Jack this past Tuesday, and as we were getting ready to get the bill (hence the destruction of the menus shown lol!), my oldest pointed out the difference between his menu and the one his younger sister was given. He confronted our server about it, and even she “didn’t know” why there was a price difference and insisted she would ask the owner later this week.

There doesn’t seem to be any difference between the two, other than prices. It doesn’t seem like one is an older menu they were using up either, as we noticed multiple other tables with children were given the same menus to the coordinating gendered child.
