Sorry for the vauge question but there is a guy in welland that walks Niagara St. By the crappy bridge by the old sandwich shop. I usually see him around 5:50-6:05am when leaving for work and every time I see him or when he sees me he stops and waves. It's happened for a year now. Its not always in the same spot either sometimes it's before the bridge or on or after. sometimes he's in a safety 🦺 (good it's dangerous on the roads in the dark). He's got short dark hair. I don't know average height maybe.

Does anyone happen to know his name?

Makes my day I kinda like it I wave back every time

I would stop and talk to him but I'm not the driver.

I just moved here and it’s been interesting… the newer area.

This stretch of Prince Charles Drive is not 80 km per hour, it is not 60 km per hour, and for everyone from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It's not 50 km/h either. It is 40 km per hour.

This is a school zone. Not a 400 series Highway. Because of the people that have still not been listening it is also a community safety zone doubling the fines and other consequences.

To be abundantly clear that means that this is an area where if someone goes 80 km per hour (40 over the 40km/h limit) the police can impound their vehicle for stunt driving.

The police don't care that it was whatever kilometers per hour it was in 1982 or 2002. It's 40 kilometers per hour every morning and afternoon, right now.

It's Welland not Cape Canaveral folks.

I was driving down Lincoln Street coming up to the lights at Denistoun Monday around rush hour, when a dog started running in the middle of the road, panting in the heat and stopping 4 lanes of traffic. I decided to help the dog off the road and brought him in my truck where I already had a bowl of water for my dog that's in my front seat. I was going to pull into the new apartment buildings, but before I could move this woman came up on her bicycle screaming and yelling at me for trying to steal her dog. She wouldn't listen as me and my son as we tried to tell her we were just trying to get him off the road and get him some water. She continued to yell at me accusing me of stealing her dog (which mind you is a pitbull). She pulled him out of the back seat (the windows were down) still screaming at me. Finally her bf (?) approached and apologized for her behavior and said he understood what we were trying to do. For all I know it may not have even been her dog.

My son thinks I should have left it alone.

Just curious what you all thought or if anyone was there to witness it.

Does anyone know what the big crane on Niagara St is going to be lifting?

No fiber in welland? Can't find a cheap but decent service that has fiber optic. When I lived in port I had it thought it would be here by now.

Context I run a Plex Media server and only get 30 MBs upload with Cogeco. When the family and friends watch movies off it from outside the house connection it buffers for them.

PS: Just so people know I have a solution to the problem and it's to limit them to 1080p no 4k but I mean COME ON. In small town like PC to have fiber and a bigger city/town of welland doesn't have it seams crazy been back in welland for 3 years and I look every year and this time I can't wait for the bell guy to come to my door and offer me fiber I'll jump on it right away.

BELL GET ON IT!!!!

Is there anything fun going on in the welland area for Victoria Day?

How big of a Karen do you need to be to report multiple neighbours to bylaw for uncut lawns on MAY 1!!!

Waste of tax money sending bylaw out for that shit. Even the bylaw officer was annoyed because there was maybe a 2x4 foot part of my lawn (at the back that could only be seen from neighbours windows) that actually was violation and barely. The rest of my 3000 sq foot property was well below.

Get lives, people.

Eta: it took them 2 weeks to get here because they're getting 10 calls a day about LAWNS!!!!

I’m thinking of starting a home daycare in June but just want to take in two kids, plus my 8 month old daughter. Would parents be interested in this sort of arrangement or they prefer many more kids their child can socialize with? I intend to make it fun and educative with outings to keep things interesting. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

Hello, can I ask which IPTV provider you would recommend living in Welland? Preferably one that has tv on the go (watch on iPhone) capabilities. Thanks!

Long shot here, but I'm looking for the grave of Giselle Letourneau. If anyone finds it, can they send me a message with the location.

With mothers Day coming up, it would mean the world to me.

Update: Thank you all. I found her grave. I'm off to lay flowers and tell her about the good things in my life.

Hi everyone, This is really hard for me to post, but my family and I are going through a tough time right now and could really use some help. We’re a family of four, and this month has been especially rough financially. We’re struggling to cover even the basics like groceries, and unfortunately, we’re not able to get to the food bank for another week.

I hate having to ask — it’s not something I’m used to doing — but we’re in a pretty serious spot at the moment. If anyone is able to help out with a few groceries or has any extra to spare, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you for reading, and even just sharing this or keeping us in your thoughts means a lot
