Question Kayak Rental in Oakville

7 Upvotes

Hello,

Could you please recommend a place where I can rent a kayak in Oakville this weekend?

Kayaking has been a summer tradition for my family at Dow’s Lake in Ottawa. Since moving to Oakville, I’m still learning my way around and would love to find a good local spot to continue the tradition.

Thanks!

Food Looking for a one stop shop for sugar free pop bottles and monster

0 Upvotes

So I've been able to find diet coke and Pepsi zero at Metro / Walmart but can't find anything else like Dr pepper or mountain dew. I need them in the small 591ml bottles for work.

I'm also looking for the 4 pack of sugar free monsters or reign energy. I can only ever find the normal sugar ones or simply the white energy.

Edit - I'm looking for packs. Not single bottles. Im aware I can buy single bottles from gas stations and convenience stores but I'd rather buy them in packs to save money.

Question Bike shop to fix gear shifter on a cheap commuter/hybrid bike

2 Upvotes

Bike is nothing fancy, old Raleigh, but the gear shifter wasn’t working properly after I replaced the chain. I tried to fix it by watching videos, but after 3 days, I gave up because I just couldn’t find that right cable tension, and my back hurts.

Is there any shop that would charge reasonably for fixing the gear without breaking my wallet or costing more than what I paid for the bike?

Question Exotic Pet Sitter

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​We’re heading out on a two-week vacation in a few months and are trying to find a reliable sitter for daily drop-in visits for our group of fancy rats.

​It’s been pretty challenging since most sitters on mainstream platforms focus almost exclusively on dogs and cats. So far, I’ve tried Loving Paws, searched Rover (where I only found one candidate), and even called my vet clinic, but haven't had much luck finding solid leads.

​For those of you with rodents or other exotic pets:

​Where do you usually source experienced pocket pet sitters?

​Are there specific local agencies, community groups, or platforms you’d recommend checking?

​We’d love to hear how you usually find and vet sitters for small animals. Any leads or advice would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Rant This beautiful husky I see on my daily walks is always outside!

8 Upvotes

A couple months ago I started going for daily walks and whenever I pass by this house their dog is always outside. Doesn't matter the time or the weather, it's outside, No dog bed, can never tell if the dog bowls are full. It's so sad. Sometimes when I walk by I can hear the people inside laughing and chatting animately and the dog will be sitting on that step whining to go in. I do wonder if it was left outside during the wildfire smoke last week, I was away those days so did not get to check.

I have wanted to give the owners the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was just a coincidence that the dog is always outdoors when I walk by but seems highly unlikely. It's obviously an outdoor dog and they don't want it inside their house :(

Should I report this? Is it something that animal welfare services will take seriously?

r/Oakville Homeowner in an older Oakville neighbourhood? Here's what's actually causing sewer backups (not trying to sell anything, just sharing what I see on the job)

59 Upvotes

I work in plumbing here in Oakville and get asked this a lot, so figured I'd share it here since it comes up on this sub occasionally.

If you're in an older part of town — Old Oakville, Bronte, Kerr Village, parts of Glen Abbey — and you've had a floor drain back up, or multiple drains slow down at once, it's usually not a random clog. Most of these homes have sewer lines from the 50s-80s, clay or cast iron, and the joints crack over time. Tree roots find those cracks and grow toward the moisture inside the pipe. Once that starts, it doesn't fix itself — it just gets denser.

A few signs it's the main line and not just "one drain":

  • More than one fixture slow/backed up at the same time
  • Gurgling from a toilet when you run a sink or the washer
  • Water pooling around the basement floor drain
  • Sewer smell near drains with no obvious source

Store-bought drain cleaners basically don't do anything for this — they're made for surface clogs, not root masses or joint separation further down the line.

If you're dealing with repeat backups, a camera inspection will actually show you what's going on instead of guessing. Also worth knowing: Halton Region has a rebate program that covers a chunk of the cost for backwater valves and sump pump work if you're looking at prevention.

Not trying to advertise — happy to answer questions if anyone's dealing with this right now.

Question Car scratch repair 🙏🏻

1 Upvotes

I accidentally scratched my car while reversing into a parking spot and hit a concrete pillar. 😅 The paint has come off in that area.
Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable and reasonably priced place to get it repaired? I’m hoping to avoid dealerships or expensive body shops if possible.
I’m in Oakville/Mississauga, but I’m willing to drive a bit for someone who does quality work at a fair price.
Thanks in advance!
