Q: My dad passed away and left us a beautiful collection of Classical Music CD’s (hundreds). Do you know of a store that would buy or simply take them to resell?
A: From this website and my book, there are about a dozen. First I would try Disques Beatnick Records , 3770 St-Denis, Tel: 514-842-0664.. Here’s another: “Death of Vinyl” 6307 boul. St-Laurent.

We are road warriors, having traveled at least 300,000 miles in the car together throughout Canada and the US. I just love the freedom and the learning. Every little city has a story to tell and we have discovered people are so kind. Once, when we pulled up to a B&B in a car covered with sticky tree sap, we got up in the morning and the owner had washed our car!
If you don’t have a car, and the budget is tight, do what we do, buy a used one. The APA (Automobile Association) recommends only one place in the city to buy a pre-owned car – Wheels For Lease (Roues de Location). If you want to make sure you have a reliable vehicle for years to come, this is the place to look.
Wheels For Lease (Roues de Location) is a different kind of car dealership with a commitment to excellence; Their high quality of inventory, personal service, and especially their honest reputation is what sets this dealer apart.
Their experienced sales staff is eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with you. You can easily browse their online inventory, then schedule a test drive and investigate financing options. You can also request information about a vehicle using their online form or by calling 514-735-2224 or 1-866-535-2224 where someone will gladly answer your questions.
In French, called Roues de Location, they sell pre-owned, expertly inspected, and problem-free cars. The dedicated sales staff’s goal is to make your experience of buying a car (or truck) pleasant, easy and financially advantageous.
They can ship their quality vehicles throughout Canada. Each one is inspected before delivery. If they don’t have the vehicle you’re looking for don’t hesitate give them a call and they will gladly try to find one for you. Their best advertisement is their word-of-mouth customer satisfaction. In this business, honesty goes a long way

All it takes is one person to have a light bulb go off and life gets better for many. Sharon Sweeney of the Sherbrooke Forest Art Hive received a donated prom dress. She remembered not having the budget to get the prom dress she wanted when she was younger, and voila – Sweeney and her colleagues organized a Prom Dress Donation/Giveaway project at the NDG Community Council. They’re already planning to do this again next year.
Turning their office into a boutique, they’ve already filled it with well over 150 dresses plus shoes, purses and even some jewelry. If it doesn’t fit, a seamstress has joined the effort along with a fashion designer to alter the outfits. And there’s even a photographer to take that memorable portrait.
Youth whose families struggle financially often borrow a dress which they may not even like. If you, your moms, daughters or friends have party dresses or gowns lingering in your closets, why not donate them and allow a girl to become a princess for a night? And if you need a fab prom dress – head to NDG where true believers in reduce, reuse or re-cycle are making fairy tales come true.
