I quickly got the kids and our pets outside as I called 911. When emergency services arrived they found my house was filled with carbon monoxide. We all got out safely and now my furnace is being replaced. I have inline carbon monoxide/smoke detectors on each floor and 2 battery operated detectors. 4 out of the 5 detectors worked. We are alive to tell this story. I get my furnace cleaned yearly and I change my filters every quarter. I hadn’t had my fall cleaning yet because of the nice weather.

Please be aware that the 2022 Ontario Gun Deer Hunt is on this week (Mon-Sun Nov 7-11th) Please use extra caution if you decide to go out during these weeks for trail walk or exploring. Wearing bright colours is highly recommended, especially if you are walking in the forests during the Hunt....blaze orange is best! It is a criminal Offence to interfere with a hunt, references in comments. Be seen and be safe! Source

Hi! Not so much a concern. But am looking for someone who may have been at Peggy Hill for their Opem Swim this morning (11-1). I lost my engagement ring in the small pool (my husband, little one and I) were there from about 11-11.45. If anyone has seen anything, can you please let me know. Thanks! Source
