There have been so many changes to the downtown recently. The business directory is up to date as of August 2007. If you have any changes or have been left out, please feel free to contact us. Sorry that it is so out of date, it is a bit cold and messy to walk up and down the street. But it will be updated in the next month or so.

Welcome to Lindsay Downtown

Here you will find some links to local businesses, a great map of our historic Kent Street W. with all the numbers of the buildings. This is helpful if you don't know whether that shop you want to visit is close to William Street or Victoria Street.

And there is a directory with business names and addresses. Please let us know if there is anything out of date, and we'll correct it. And help support this site by perhaps advertising on it!

Earth Hour

So, perhaps on March 29th, you turned off your lights for an hour to celebrate Earth Hour, to show everyone that you were concerned about the planet. So is that it? Are we done now?

The Earth Hour Clock is already counting down to next year. But there are so many things we can do every day to make sure that we start being smart about our planet, our country and our own communities.

We can reduce what we waste, by turning off lights, not wasting water. You know the drill, but we can be more creative. We can write to companies that we feel use too much packaging and tell them it isn't needed. We can write to our MPs, our MPPs, the major party leaders and tell them that we aren't happy with the meagre changes that they are making. We want them to re-think their views on electric cars in Ontario that the Zenn company manufacture. We can ask them to start only allowing smart growth and stop building these communities that you have to have a car to get to. We can ask them to start being pro-active about oil and realize that there are alternatives that we should and could be working on now, rather than making deals with regimes in other countries because of our insatiable appetite for oil products.
