Important update:…read more Boo the Cat is gone from ReStore. Evicted by the new manager who is apparently not a cat-lover. Boo was lovely and friendly and half the reason I shopped there in spite of the disorganization of product bins. He greeted me and let me pet him and sometimes followed me around the store to help me choose my purchase. I pictured Boo on guard, catching mice at night. I am bummed about this. I will not be able to go there again. I have only my memories of Boo the Cat and hope he is not too traumatized by being kicked out of a home where people loved him, by a thoughtless person. Poor Boo, poor people who loved him...

Around the end of May my wife and I found and purchased a bathroom vanity and top frm the store…read more We were directed to the loading area. I had opened the back door to my 2016 truck to put vanity top in back seat. The store manager proceeded to put vanity top in the back seat....hitting the door frame with corner of the top creating a dent in my vehicle. He then proceeded to start loading vanity into back of truck with assistance from another worker who witnessed him damage my vehicle. When I brought the damage to managers attention his reply was "I didn't think I hit it that hard". He advised me to get an estimate and they would take care of it. I got estimate immediately..a copy was faxed to him..over $1100.00 to repair it .At least one visit to the manager and multiple phone calls to both manager and Habitat director (most I have gotten no reply from)..my truck is still damaged !!! I highly recommend..if you buy something there (I NEVER WILL AGAIN) load it yourself. They damaged my truck they should pay to fix it....I will not stop until this is corrected !!

I recently moved back to Belleville after many years away in Ottawa and Halifax where there are…read moremany options for hiking. I am SO glad to have discovered this place. It's a beautiful spot for a long hike outdoors. It is conveniently located just outside of Belleville, off Highway 2 near Loyalist College. There is plenty of parking available all the time. There are probably about 5 trails that branch off of the one strip and there is a map to help you navigate. The trails on the map are colour-coded and if you are on the trails you will notice that the trees along the trail are occasionally marked with the correspondingly color of the trail. The entirety probably stretches ~8km and each trail probably varies from .4km-1.5km (if my memory serves me well!). I have only really visited here in the winter, but it's not usually busy here. My only complaint about this place is the unfriendliness to dogs. Dog owners here all seem really responsible. Never have I come across dog owners who have failed to pick up after their dog and all dogs are really well behaved. I've read online that there was one designated path for dogs to be off-leash but after some complaints and discussions with lawyers, they now require that all dogs remain on leash. The only area dog owners are able to allow their dogs off leash in this city is the dog park which frankly is disgusting and small. It would be nice if they were to reinstate the permittance of a single trail for dogs to be off leash. Those who wish to avoid off-leash dogs would have the option of approximately 4 other trails.

Such an amazing organization! Operation Come Home helps to "prevent homeless teens from becoming…read morehomeless adults". How does this work? There are all sorts of services avaliable such as education opportunities, skills partnerships, resume and interview prep, and even a closet full of clothes to help look the part and nail that job. There is food available and all sorts of other resources to help keep teens of the streets. The staff are fantastic and really give their all for the cause. There are all sorts of volunteer opportunities, and Operation Come Home is always looking for donations, not just monetary. I highly suggest to stop in and see how you can make a difference in our community. Everything helps!

I'm really frustrated with my experience at Value Village and unfortunately can't give a good…read morereview. There are no fitting rooms, so you have to buy items and try them on at home. When I went back to return things that didn't fit, I learned there are no refunds, only same day exchanges, with no option for store credit later. This was my third time returning items from the same purchase. Today I was also told they would not accept belts or even new, packaged socks for return. It feels a bit like a scam if I'm honest. Overall, the process has been too inconvenient, and frustrating and I will take my business to Talise.

The services that the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization provides to immigrants are wonderful. They can get documents translated here for immigration purposes, find someone to help interpret in a hospital setting, take English classes and just find general support during this major change in the their lives! The staff at OCISO were always friendly and helpful and it felt great to be a part of this community!

Care runs throughout the organization, from the volunteer right up the ladder to the highest senior manager. Unlike many other immigrant services groups, OCISO follows and CARES for new immigrants throughout their entire settlement journey, enabling newcomers to flourish as new citizens and ultimately CARE about their own communities and contribute by giving back. No wonder OCISO is an award winning organization that serves as a model right across the spectrum!
