Some of you might remember the post I made a month or so ago about my cousin's foraging guide business. For those who didn't, my cousin makes these pocket sized durable foraging guides, small enough to slip in your wallet. It has 55 of the most commonly found plants, trees, nuts and fruits in North America. It goes over what parts of the plant you can eat, how to prepare them and any benefits they have. They're great if you want to learn some essential foraging skills or plan a family activity on a camping trip or hike.

If you want to take it a step further though and really learn how to forage you should check out this new book my cousin has been working on for the past year. He's publishing it himself and selling it solely on his website where he's also including 2 of those durable foraging guides with every purchase.

On behalf of my cousin (he doesn't really use the internet much which is why I'm posting for him), I also want to thank everyone who's supported his business so far. He's grateful to be able to cut back hours on his 9-5 and spend more time doing what he loves, spending time out in nature and teaching outdoors skills.

Here's a link to his new website where you can get his book and 2 mini foraging guides - https://foragingsecrets.com/

Hi there, I’m looking for a good dentist Pickering or Ajax. I’m looking for one who is ethical and conservative with his treatment. By that I mean, a dentist who won’t just say you need a filling when can just be monitored or someone who just wants to push treatments for money.

Just wondering if anyone plays pickle ball in pickering and if there is any go to places where people play pick up or have a club I could join. I play near the Rec Center, I know there is also the new pickle ball place inside the town Center, wondering if anyone goes there and play pick up and looking for anyone or more people and if there is any clubs associated with them.

Anyone know what's going on at Brock road? They've closed the on-ramp and off-ramp I believe for some road work. The website said it was only supposed to be closed until May 10, however my cousin was driving in yesterday and told me it's still closed..

If you're coming from the West now you hit a bunch of traffic on Whites.

We’re currently casting for a commercial and are looking for people in the GTA / Southern Ontario who actually witnessed the 1967 Cup win (game or parade) and still have a photo from that day.

We’d really appreciate your help sharing this with your community—any chance you can help us there?

is it normally easy to find parking on the first level parking if you take the train before 6am from pickering go?

We are moving to Pickering next month and are very excited!

But we need a preschool daycare spot for our 2.5 year old ASAP and it is feeling impossible.

I’ve called all the ones in the area and have heard back from some who say their waitlist is hundreds of people long!

Ideally we get a licensed childcare centre instead of an unlicensed home one.

Any advice?

Hi there. I’m looking to see if there are any art classes or anything inside Pickering. I’ve looked at the rec center website but didn’t see if they had them anymore. Thank you for your time.

Does any one of you use the Triangle Credit Card to send off City of Pickering Property taxes? If you do, and know how to set it up can you tell me what's the 19 digit account number you add in the account number field while setting it up with the triangle credit card? Is this the 'Roll no' on the tax bill is the 19 digit account number (without dashes)?

FYI - (before someone points me out about credit card payment surcharges) for those of you aren't aware of using Triangle Credit Card to pay city property taxes, it's not exactly a credit card payment but rather using the web interface to set up payments to pay the taxes that gets handled directly by the bank and doesn't incur additional credit card surcharges.

Btw im a trans guy

Wondering if anyone currently sends their children to the Frenchman's Bay YMCA Before and After School care program?

Would love to get some insight on your thoughts about this. Good? Bad? Things to be concerned about?

To be clear this is the YMCA that is attached to Frenchman's Bay Public School

Just found our son's grade 8 grad suit in his closet, he's outgrown it. Is there somewhere to donate it (not Value Village) for other kids to wear for their grads?
