6. What's the job market like in Tbay right now?
Original English title:How is the current job market in Tbay?
Post summary:I'm wondering how hard it still is to find a job here, because earlier this year I spent months applying to every place I knew, since I had to quit my old job after an injury last year, and wanted something less physical but still well-paying. I'm working full-time now, but if I were looking to switch, I'm curious if others have had trouble finding work recently. I do know young people have to be constantly looking, and my workplace is looking for apprentices

7. Boulevard Lake Beach
Original English title:Boulevard lake beach
Post summary:Why are there trees growing on and around the regulated beach at the Boulevard? Just a few meters from the regulated area, there are random rusty pipes sticking out of the water. WTF? 20 years ago, this was a clean, tidy beach with no trees where you could swim... Yesterday it was... well... not that. It seems the operators of that place have given up. Sure. Let trees and garbage pile up everywhere... Renting a boat from the paddle sports club at night seems sketchy. Lifeguards are playing cards

10. Ecoway Movers - Scam in Thunder Bay!
Original English title:Ecoway Movers - scam in Thunder Bay!
Post summary:Despite the glowing reviews on Google, do not book Ecoway Movers in Thunder Bay. They cancelled our move two days before the moving date, leaving us in a bind. I booked two months in advance and called a week ahead to confirm. They took my $200 deposit, and I guess I won't get it back. I've heard they're not a real moving company, but they take your booking info and deposit, and try to outsource the job and take a commission. If I get my $200 back, I'll come update this post
