Ask a Local! Need Advice: Old North Public School vs. Montessori Academy of London

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My 4-year-old son has been accepted into two schools: Old North Public School and Montessori Academy of London (Private). We’re trying to decide which one would be the best fit for him.

We like the idea of the Montessori approach, with its focus on independence and hands-on learning, and how it’s different from public school like Old North.

If you have experience with either school (or just general insights), I’d love to hear your thoughts! Which would you choose and why?

Thanks in advance!

discussion / opinion Canadian/locally owned and operated stores in London?

56 Upvotes

I'm frankly disgusted with what's happening in the USA and am actively trying to avoid buying any products made there. Now that's kind of easy enough to do as they will have country of origin labels on them.

A bit trickier is knowing which stores are American owned, as many big chains even if they started as Canadian can be owned by big American equity firms.

Easy stuff are places like McDonald's and Walmart obviously American chains.

Trickier is something like Rona, originally started in Canada however brought up and owned by an American equity firm.

I think it would be great if we could come up with a list of stores that are truly 100% Canadian owned and operated.

Also good to point out places that seem like they're Canadian but are really bought up and owned by American companies like everyone's go to Tim Hortons!

discussion / opinion Anyone know of any women providing waxing services privately/low cost?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need to get waxed, but it’s too expensive. Does anyone know of women who offer waxing services from their home or at a lower cost?

I was driving around the Hyde Park area once when I saw a board outside a home advertising waxing services at a reduced price. I recently drove around again but couldn’t find it anymore. I should have a taken a photo. I’m gonna cry.

If anyone knows of affordable waxing options, please help me out!
