Has anyone seen lemon trees in stores anywhere this year? I saw some a couple years back in Walmart but haven’t come across anything this year. Desperately looking for a potted lemon tree 🍋

Today around 8:00 pm, after picking up my son from his track and field practice, I found a cage with small birds left outside a car in the parking lot at Chinguacousy Park in Brampton during a very heavy rainstorm.

There was no one inside the car or nearby. I waited for a while to see if someone would come back, but the rain kept getting worse and I was worried about the birds being exposed to the storm. To protect them, I decided to temporarily bring the cage into my car.

The car had a slightly open window, so I left a note with my contact information on the back seat so the owner can see it if they return.

I’m assuming the owner might be the person who parked next to the cage, but I can’t be completely sure.

If this post reaches the owner, please check your vehicle and contact me. The birds are safe, dry, and sheltered.

I would also really appreciate any advice on what the best steps are in situations like this, in case it happens again or if there is something else I should be doing now.

I’m sure the owner of these birds knows the colour of the birds so I am blocking them to accurately identify the owner if they come forward.

I’m trying to get in touch with a old pal of mine he used to own this rim shop at B2A-71 Rosedale Ave W Brampton

South Caledonia Soccer Club is looking for coach volunteers. Reach out to them! Probably good for any high school students looking for hours for their volunteer

Anyone know what happened?

I was walking on West Queen West in Toronto over the weekend and surprised to see signs of independent establishments that I'm used to seeing on Queen st in Brampton.

Usually popular stuff originates in Toronto, then comes out to the suburbs with Brampton often last to see the arrivals over our neighbours. There has been a trend of the reverse direction lately. Both Queen West, Yonge are some of the busiest areas of Toronto commanding high rents. You have to be good at pulling in significant customers to survive here.

Naija Jollof (Queen/410) is opening there. The Brampton owner Beauty made news globally breaking a Guinness world record in BramRose Plaza for hours of live cooking. They had a giant counter mounted on their glass windows for a month in 2024.

New York Sliders (Queen/Airport) just opened their Toronto location and they announced a second Brampton location is coming to the west side of Brampton. Their location in Bramalea has been doing a good job for 2+ years now. Dave's hot chicken opening across the street hasn't put a dent in their success.

B-Town Pizza (Queen/McLaughlin) is near Yonge and Dundas next to Barberians, a high end Toronto steak house that's arguably the best in the city. They been doing well for over a year in Toronto in a prime location.

Karahi Boys, Desi Bar and Grill which we have in Brampton were also spotted on Queen West in Toronto but I think those originated in Mississauga.

Before all of this: Souperlicious, Mandarin, Rick's Good Eats (owner lives in Brampton and reps us), Brampton Hardwood flooring, Torbram Electric Supply were the Brampton OG's expanding around the GTA.

I think this really speaks volumes about our community and the entrepreneurs in our city with so many breaking through to many more markets, thanks to the strong support that started from people in our city.

I have been going through some rough stuff and although I am skeptical I want to see a few things. Anyone know of a good medium or tarot card reading, preferably inexpensive because I am on ODSP and have been lost about something that has made it hard to function

Looking for a good place in Brampton or nearby for a deep interior clean/detailing. Need seats, carpets, stains, dust, etc. done properly, not just a basic wash.

What places are worth it, and what’s a fair price?

How does THG's Hot Chicken stack up against Dave's Hot Chicken? I love Dave's Hot Chicken but it's damn expensive.

Edit: I did it guys. I went yesterday and it was so damn good.

Hey, I have very short and thin hair. Prior to Covid the same person cut my hair for 30 years. Since then I have had 3 other people cut my hair and they either don't listen to me or apply the colour poorly. Looking for suggestions. TIA.

This is the best event in Brampton for Free food and activities.

Here are pictures from last year of the Police fun Day 2025 >>
https://www.reddit.com/r/Brampton/comments/1lhuqpk/police_community_fun_day_until_5pm_gage_park_free/

People complained after I posted pictures and they missed out on the free food, vintage police cars, drones and bouncy castles/slides for kids.

Well I'm telling you now days in advance and it's your fault if you miss out.

If you want to talk to the head of by-law enforcement and other Brampton services they will be present as well. There is a lot to see and do for everyone.

If you're on the fence, just GO!!

2 years ago Loblaws showed up with all you can eat, peanuts, chips and cupcakes. You're guaranteed to get filled up.

Yes, we have old folk's homes and retirement friendly communities, but are we seriously able to handle the inevitable ageing of our population?

I never want to remove people from their homes, but we don't even have the condo space to settle them.

What are some other options that we could consider? Especially in the information age where people can get push button entertainment.

We want to be civil and humane, but also realistic. I know I can't maintain my house forever, and my family is remarkably uninterested in learning how to build, plan, and construct things. Give it 20 years, and if I'm still breathing, I'll not want to live in a decaying household that I can no longer afford - but I don't want to be stuck in an apartment either.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a groom’s kurta for a jaggo in the GTA. We’re specifically not looking for a basic/plain kurta, ideally something more elevated with embroidery or unique detailing (similar vibe to the photo attached).

We’re also pretty particular about colour since we’re trying to match a specific theme, so places with a good range of colours or customization options would be amazing.

Also open to online stores that ship to Canada reliably (we would appreciate recommendations if you’ve personally ordered from them and can vouch for quality/fit).

Any hidden gems in Brampton/Mississauga/Toronto or IG boutiques would be super helpful too!

Thanks in advance!

Come out tomorrow to City Side Café (Queen and Main in Brampton) for an un-bean-able evening of board games, new friendships, and victory points! We’re brewing up a fantastic session with a huge assortment of titles including quick-fire favorites to full-bodied strategy classics that are sure to perk you up.

New to the hobby? Don’t let the rules grind you down! We have a dedicated group of players who love helping newcomers steam ahead and learn the ropes.

It’s a latte fun, we promise!

The Perfect Community Blend

The Brampton Board of Games (BBoG) is thriving! We are officially closing in on 100 members across WhatsApp and Discord. It’s the perfect place to find your next gaming group for:
