1. Hi! Tomorrow is my birthday. Any suggestions?

Original English title:Hi! It's my birthday tomorrow. Any suggestions on what to do?

Post content summary:A bit of a silly question. Tomorrow is my birthday (22m), and I don't have any close friends or family or anyone to spend it with. I guess I shouldn't just lie in bed or work or whatever during this time so... I was thinking maybe going to a bar tonight? Just to socialize, but honestly it's not entirely my scene. Last time I went I just... sat there... for about an hour, didn't talk to anyone, drank and then left (it was so awkward and I've been anxious about it ). Anyway... just wondering

• On my birthday, I like to take myself out for lunch. Sometimes, if you tell them it's your birthday, you get a free dessert. Maybe try somewhere you've been wanting to go but haven't yet? Then I take myself to a movie. I'll go to an earlier show since it's less crowded, but you could also do dinner and an evening show. You could also go bowling, play pool, buy yourself a cupcake, celebrate yourself!

2. Is Arc Climbing worth it?

Original English title:Is Arc Climbing Worth it?

Post content summary:Anything helpful... If you haven't been to Arc yet, I'd appreciate it, as my main goal is to get out and make some new friends in the process! I've been looking for things to get me out of the house and meet new people. I came across Arc Climbing, and it looks really fun. But is it worth the membership fee? Also, I want to meet new friends around my age (20), but I don't know if this is a good place to meet people like me.

• I recommend it. There are lots of friendly people who are happy to help and chat. Come by anytime! It's a bit quiet during the summer, but it gets busier during the school year and the colder months.

  EN: Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
• I suggest paying for a day pass and trying it out. They only have 5 auto-belays, and if you're a beginner, you'll have fewer of those. So, at that point, you have to pick the right day because you'll need a partner for the ropes. Lots of socializing happens because people climb and take breaks to socialize to recover for their next attempt.

3. Has anyone heard about the road construction on Elgin?

Original English title:Anybody hear anything about the road work on Elgin?

Post content summary:I have a show on CKLU on Saturday mornings, and the road in front of the station has been torn up for almost a year. Now, since I'm only at the station on Saturdays, I thought they were just working slowly, but I went to Casa Mexicana for lunch, and the hostess there told me they haven't had any workers on the road for months. Given how long that big scary hole in front of the Telegraph Building has been there, I can believe that. Does anyone know what's going on? Union trouble? Is there any ci

Featured comments:

• Don't know if the hostess has been outside enough, but I drive by Elgin almost every day to get to Cedar Street, and there are always a few men and trucks coming and going. They've been blocking off that one lane, but they're working in phases from one end to the other, and this week they're closer to Casa Mexicana.

  EN: I work downtown. There are workers on that site every day.
• Months? I've definitely seen workers on the road in the past few weeks, let alone months. The road also hasn't been torn up for almost a year like that - they don't tear them up in winter, and construction started after the snow melted. If you remember, we had a blizzard from hell in mid-March, so construction should have started in April at the earliest. As someone who walks this road every day, I seem to remember May to June was about when construction started, but more

5. Cost of living in rural communities

Original English title:Cost of living in rural communities

Post content summary:Hello, since my previous post left more questions than answers, I wanted to rephrase my question. What is the cost of living in communities like Sudbury, North Bay, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie, and Thunder Bay? I'm currently researching RCIP and need to understand what life in rural communities is like. Plus, how difficult it is to settle in the above areas, as a family of 2, PS will be from Pakistan, and my wife and I have lived in big cities all our lives, if that's a factor.
