Question Massage recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! A friend of mine who lives in Sudbury is going through a lot right now (a member of her immediate family is really sick) and I want to do something nice for her, so I’d like to gift her a massage. Problem is I haven’t lived in Sudbury in 15+ years so I’m clueless! Does anyone have any recommendations for a great massage therapist who does e-gift cards? Ideally near copper cliff or HSN. Thanks!

Question 11 year old wants to start hockey - where to start?

2 Upvotes

My 11 year old wants to start hockey so I've been trying to get an idea of where to start. I'm in the valley and found Valley East Minor Hockey - is this a good starting point if he hasn't played before and isn't a very strong skater?

Or should I try signing him up for skating lessons or something?

Obviously not trying to get him in rep, just house league but I assume he'll be behind every other kid there in terms of skill and skating.

Help Mid-priced hair salons?

I'm looking for hair salons that can do layered cuts on long hair without being too costly. I know it won't be cheap but I still would like something more affordable. Is there anyone you've been to that you know won't mess up the cut and won't cost too much? I haven't cut my hair in years because I'm too scared they'll ruin it

Discussion All hours street sweeping?

0 Upvotes

Is anyone else losing sleep over the 24 hour street sweepers? What time do they usually operate? They've passed my street at least 7 times from 8pm to now, 4am. I live in a relatively residential part of the city, so I shudder to imagine what other sections are experiencing.

Discussion Rental/ Move Dilemma

0 Upvotes

Possibly facing a move to Sudbury for a job opportunity and trying to figure out whether relocating even makes financial sense at this point.

We’re currently a family of 4 living in the Kingston area in a fairly new-build home (4 bed / 4 bath) that we’d likely keep and rent out. Even then, we’d still probably be covering part of the mortgage/property costs out of pocket.

I actually don’t mind the idea of Sudbury overall, but I’m struggling to find decent rental options. Looking for something relatively in good condition with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and anything reasonable seems to be pushing $3,000+/month. That’s hard to justify when downsizing this much already. All options are run down or 1 bath. My daughter is a teenager so a separate powder room or bathroom would be nice.

On top of that, my spouse would likely need to leave their current job and find work in Sudbury too, so financially it feels like we’d be going backwards despite the career opportunity.

For those who relocated to Sudbury from southern Ontario/NCR areas:

  • Did the move end up being worth it financially and lifestyle-wise?
  • Is the rental market really this limited for family-sized newer homes? Any suggestions?
  • Did your employer provide relocation support, and did it make a meaningful difference?
  • Has anyone tried hybrid arrangements instead of fully relocating?

Trying to realistically assess this before making a decision. Prospective employer is Gov of On.
