    Disney Gift Cards in Ontario

    Do you know of anywhere in Ontario that I might find choose your own amount Disney gift cards? Or $25 Disney gift cards? Our local Walmart only has $50 and $100. I want them for my friend's kids going on their once-in-a-childhood trip to Disney but I can't really afford to give them $50 each...

    PC OPTIMUM, Lets share deals, offers, info

    Haven't been around here as much lately. Sadly cost of groceries and life is reducing our chances of going back to Disney any time soon. We are planning a road trip closer to home this summer and I was wondering if there are ever PC Optimum offers on gas gift cards. Anyone seen anything like...

    I have been shopping at Food Basics and No Frills (cheaper prices) lately rather the Superstore that used to be my first choice (better selection). I couldn't believe the great offers I had for exclusively Superstore this week. Plus a couple minimum spend for points at Superstore and No...

    August 2021: Florida has more new Covid cases than ever before

    I can so relate to this! My daughter (going into Grade 8) is the same way! We were staying at my sister's house (first time since Feb. 2020) and my daughter decided to actually go with her aunt and uncle to do some errands and I had the house (albeit not mine) to myself and it was heavenly to...

    Anyone Planning International Travel for August Now That Restrictions Have Loosened?

    The other rumour I heard is that Canada is going to be 'green listed' by the UK next week (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/germany-canada-austria-travel-green-list-update-holidays-2021-b947866.html) which means no quarantine even if not fully vaccinated (with negative tests).

    Updated Canada/US Border Rules Announced 19 July 2021

    I don't see any changes in the school screening yet to reflect vaccination status. Which link are you using?

    Anyone else with mixed vaccines concerned we won't be accepted as "fully vaccinated"?

    One of the reasons that I'm not too worried is that key government figures have skin in the game. I know the Prime Minister did Astra Zeneca + Moderna and I think Ford also did an Astra Zeneca + mRna combo. So I figure that they will definitely be pushing for other countries to accept the...

    Updated Canada/US Border Rules Announced 19 July 2021

    At one point, my sister (in a very low Covid case area compared to most of the province at the time) had to answer a questionnaire each time she went to her massage therapist that asked, "Have you travelled or had visitors from outside of our local health unit?" It has since been changed. I...

    Updated Canada/US Border Rules Announced 19 July 2021

    I'm keeping an eye on the quarantine requirements for schools too. I'd hoped to do a long weekend pre-Christmas trip to NYC. I will have some extra days (lieu days for some work that I'm doing for the school board this summer) that I can use during the school year and I've always wanted to see...

    I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

    How'd it go? I got my AZ weeks ago and felt happy, relieved and empowered after. (Still no regrets and still haven't decided what I'll do for dose 2 now that it appears to be a choice that I get to make) DD got her vaccine this week and I actually had more of a "Did I do the right thing for...

    I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

    I'm pretty much the same. I'm fine with getting AZ at 12 weeks but if it doesn't seem like that is going to happen, I will take Pfizer. I'm not sure that I would do Moderna as second dose though I think it has been approved too but it didn't seem like it had been tested as much in combination...

    Poll for Canadians Edited... I got one dose of ... and I got the my second shot (two votes allowed)

    DD got her vaccine today. Public health nurse that I know was working the discharge area so we chatted. She says the provincial portal will open on June 27 for rescheduling of second shots for those 12-17 (maybe up to 25 -- not sure) beginning on August 7 or 9 (I can't remember which she...

    Poll for Canadians Edited... I got one dose of ... and I got the my second shot (two votes allowed)

    You are in Ontario, right? Do you know if this is a provincial rule or local health unit policy? My DD goes on Tuesday. If she will be getting her second dose before the end of July, that could change our late August plans :) Not that I ever count on something 100% these days.

    Land Border Opening?

    Definitely! I was able to book my teen daughter for an appointment on the day when the provincial portal opened to 12+ for June 1 at a clinic within walking distance of our home. Meanwhile I have friends north of Ottawa who have had appointments booked for weeks -- also for June 1! Doesn't...

    Disney dropping mask requirements for outdoors.

    I was a little taken aback by this announcement too. But I think we are at a different place than Americans with our half-vaxxed by summer goal. Around here, in the last few months is when people STARTED wearing masks outdoor (some and usually in places where likely to encounter others) vs...

    This is too late for you this time but Shoppers Drug Mart will let you buy anything in the store (at least around here), including gift cards. Walmart had wrap over their gift cards.

    Third Wave is Here...

    I understand where you're coming and their relationship is far from perfect but I don't know that it is really that controlling/abusive. This is not typical behaviour for him -- he is much more of a live and let live kind of guy. But he like many others has been pushed a bit over the edge by...

    Third Wave is Here...

    This was our local Medical Officer of Health's explanation for not closing schools before the Ministry did. I get it but for those of us who do take precautions, it is definitely safer for our family when the schools are closed (when community numbers are high).

    Third Wave is Here...

    I have an interesting situation with a close friend and the vaccine. She qualifies both by age (40+) and medical condition (MS). But so far she has not received the vaccine. Because of health issues (in addition to MS), she is more likely to have a bad outcome if she did get COVID. Her...
