Handyman & Raccoon Removal

Well, we've been recommending local business people and now people would like to hear YOUR recommendations for the same... one of our neighbours has raccoons living in her attic and needs the name of a good removal service.
Plus, she needs a good handyman, a request that I've also received from two other people in our area.
Anybody out there with any names of reliable handymen/raccoon removers? Just hit "comment" below and let us know, or drop us an email (bottom of the page.)

Planning a Ski Vacation?

One of our goals is to let you know the incredible resources among our community members, including businesses and services.
For instance, an Annex neighbour owns a six-bedroom ski chalet in Blue Mountain and rents it out. And -- big bonus! -- she says there's "special discounts for our Annex neighbours."
Looks gorgeous! And if skiing is not your thing, it's got a pool for summer fun. You can contact the owner directly, too, at christine.donaldson@utoronto.ca.
If you'd like us to let our neighbours know about your business or services, just pass your information along to us.
Cheers,
Vanessa

Need A Life Coach?

Ginny and I like using the services of local people and supporting local businesses and we thought that you might, too. However, it's hard to know who does what for a living in our neighbourhood when you only meet while walking the dog, or grabbing a coffee to go, or dropping the kids at school.
If you'd like to share details of your business with the community, drop us a line at the emails below and we'll spread the word. Or if you're a musician or an artist with an upcoming show, let us know. Your neighbours just might want to catch it!
This week we'd like to tell you about our friend and neighbour, Milisa Burns, who is starting a life coaching business, StrategicEvolution. If you're contemplating making a change in your life, or life has thrown you some unexpected curves, she can help. (milisa@sympatico.ca).
