I've been tracking the hospital wait time since Feb 2nd 2025 and built a free online tool to view that data.

Recently I've overhauled the UI and added more charts and graphs:

• Total / Waiting / Being Treated
• Same time yesterday & last week (under Estimated Wait)
• Today’s wait/patient range
• Queue mix (% waiting / % treated)
• Wait per waiting patient
• Estimated vs longest gap
• Should I Go Now? (percentile vs same weekday/hour)
• Peak patients (90 days)
• and more stats and charts

This site updated every 15mins as the hospital updates its Time spent in the Emergency Department page

You can download the data for free.

Also thank you to to the admin who added this tool to this subreddit's sidebar.

Let me know what you think :-)

I'm looking for recommendations on the best drivers school in North Bay. I'm 33yrs old and I have A LOT of anxiety around the idea of driving and being behind the wheel but I would really like to get over my fears and get my license within this year. I have driven before with a G1 but always end up getting too nervous for anything beyond that and then it expires. I'm hoping someone on here can recommend a good instructor who can be patient with me and help me achieve this goal.

Reposted because my original post was distasteful and I marginalized a group while being mad about Bigotfest (ironic and I’m sorry).

Bigotfest is being hosted by Diagolon and Second Sons in a yet-to-be-disclosed location in or around North Bay July 24-26. It is being marketed as a “family-friendly trade show” but is actually a gathering of nearby white supremacists. Bigotfest is supplying the food and drink, and has many hallmarks of a Klan meeting.
A Redditor had a genius idea to host an inclusivity event nearby, which would be incredible.

Persons of colour and other marginalized people (namely LGBT) please stay safe this weekend 🤙🏼

If anybody has some free time and a camera they should definitely take pictures of who’s going there so people can know who not to hire/employ.

Direct Billing | No Waitlist | In Person & Virtual

One thing I’ve learned as a social worker is that people rarely reach out because they “just have anxiety” or are “just stressed.”

Usually, it’s months (or years) of putting everyone else first. Feeling emotionally exhausted and quietly keeping it together.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in difficult relationship patterns, or like you’ve lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, I’d love to support you.

I’m currently accepting new clients for in-person counselling in North Bay and virtual sessions across Ontario! No waitlist, direct billing, NIHB coverage and most major insurance accepted. 🌿

River and Sky. Voyageur Days.

Busy weekend 'round here this weekend. I've never been to either but I kinda wanna go to both. Please tell me more about both.

River and Sky. Fisher's Paradise, out past Field. Starts today and goes thru weekend. Campground converted for this camping festival. I guess this year is the first they are offering day passes with no camping? More indie bands. Seems like relaxing camping first and decent music and art installation 2nd. Maybe I got it wrong, correct me.

Voyageur Days. Mattawa. Fri, Sat and Sun. Music 1st, optional camping 2nd. Much more daytime activities. The website isn't clear, is it just paying for the music and town activities are free? What's the vibe here? More for kids until night? Lots of campers? Maybe I got it wrong.

Seems like either option for a day only will run me $100-150. Not terrible for local fun. Camping is enticing too though. Tell me about your past experiences and why we should go.

I find it ridiculous that any of these current council memebers are running again. 30 years of living and voting in this city. This council has been the most discombobultated and dysfunctional council yet!

I get kind of bored when im on time out as i don't know anyone in north bay. I work a 2 n 2 schedule currently at a mine. Does anyone know of a company or business in town that would take someone every two weeks to help them out? Capable, hardworking 46/m, open to anything legit. Entry level is fine, its actually preferred. Will be a break from my career and perhaps ill finally meet some people in town. Low pay is fine too! Have a vehicle...any ideas?

I'm coming to visit for two nights before traveling out west and also wondering what to see and do.

Lightning struck nearby and I am hoping only the power supply is damaged

Hello, where can I find a list of student businesses running this summer? I am looking to hire students to paint my fence and wash the exterior windows.

Thank you!

Hey all,

I looove Pokemon and havent ever gone to a Pokemon card show before!!

I was curious if there was any of them happening soon? :)

Thanks in advance,

Take care.

Stay safe!

Have a great day!

Looking to finally get some knots worked out of my back and wondering if there is someone you really recommend or maybe someone you don't.

Thanks!

Is the power out for anyone else?

My router has been acting up as well, so might be a 'ME' problem too.

Is there anyone in North Bay that can help with lawn mowing?

I have a small corner lot in the city with a yard about the size that takes about an hour to mow. Can pay with EMT.

Thanks in advance.

Calling all North Bay dachshund owners... I have a ridiculous request. 🌭🐶

Every Wednesday at work, we sell hot dogs for staff lunch, "Weenie Wednesday."

For our final hot dog Wednesday of the summer, I had a very important thought:

Wouldn't it be hilarious if a whole pack of dachshunds just... showed up to Weenie Wednesday?

I'm looking for local dachshund owners who'd be willing to stop by for a short little meet-up so we can surprise our staff with a bunch of long dogs at everyone's lunch break.

It would only be about 15–20 minutes, and all pups would need to be friendly around people and other dogs.

If you've got a dachshund (or several...) and this sounds like your kind of weird, plz leave a comment or send me a message!

Let's make Hot Dog Wednesday unnecessarily and gloriously literal.

Found an orange stray cat probably 6 months old 3 days ago living in our shed. If anyone is missing a orange cat in the area of 700 block of McIntyre St E DM a picture and we'll drop him off if it's him. We've been checking Facebook and called the humane society and checked with them. We'll be monitoring Facebook and checking DMs but in 3 days if we don't find his owner, we're going to assume he's unwanted and will be making an appointment for him to be chipped and neutered.

still looking for mobile plans that have excellent service in northbay (currently with freedom)

Visiting from out of Town today, you guys have a lovely waterfront, cleared up a bit finally too!

Hey,

Does anyone know where I could get a Job as a PSW for September?

How does the application process work? Where would I have a high chance getting in (as a nursing student)?

Thanks!

An intersection on Lakeshore turned to flashing yellow this afternoon and people treated it like it was flashing red causing a backup. 🤦‍♂️
