Downtown Burlington is getting another spot for wing lovers! 6IXTY WINGS is getting ready to open at 374 Martha Street, bringing another casual dining option to the neighbourhood. The new restaurant is listed as “opening soon” on the chain’s website, with dine-in, takeout, and delivery planned.

Its location will put it right next to the upcoming Kinton Ramen, adding to the growing mix of food options in the area.

The menu goes well beyond traditional wings. Customers can choose bone-in or boneless chicken and mix flavours such as Sweet Heat, Honey Garlic, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Creamy Cajun, and Hot Honey. For those who like extra heat, options include FireUP and Devils Ranch.

There are plenty of other choices, too, including burgers, wraps, popcorn/coconut shrimp, jalapeño poppers, mozzarella sticks, and cauliflower bites. The sides are tempting in their own right, with loaded fries, garlic Parmesan fries and poutine.

No opening date has been announced yet, but Burlington wing fans have another new restaurant to look forward to!

🎄 Festival of Lights Returns with New Towering Tree

🏆 Burlington Hairstylist Honoured for Serving Vulnerable Residents

Two photographs captured right here in Burlington are receiving international recognition, earning a place in the opening night photo exhibition of the Female Eye Film Festival in Toronto.

Burlington-based photographer and producer Jana Abrams had two images selected for the festival’s INTERCONNECTIVITY exhibition. Titled Tradition Meets Technology and Stillness Meets Journey, the photographs are part of her series TIME TRAVELER – Women Existing at the Intersection of What Was, What Is, and What Comes Next.

Both images feature a woman Jana encountered spontaneously in her neighbourhood. Through these everyday moments, the series explores how past, present, and future can coexist within a single frame.

The recognition also reflects Jana’s work as founder of Divalopment International Productions, a women-led production company focused on creating more opportunities for women in leadership and creative roles behind the camera through mentorship, employment, and storytelling.

The INTERCONNECTIVITY exhibition opens Wednesday, November 18th, at Trinity Square Video, 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 121, Toronto. The opening reception runs from 5:00 pm–6:30 pm, and the exhibition continues through November 22nd.

It’s exciting to see Burlington-inspired creativity celebrated on an international arts stage!

With colder weather arriving, a Burlington dealership is inviting the community to help keep local families warm this winter.

Unique Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has launched its annual winter coat and boot drive in partnership with Hamilton’s Eva Rothwell Centre. Throughout November, residents can drop off new or gently used winter clothing at the dealership showroom at 915 Walkers Line.

Organizers are especially looking for children’s and youth coats, insulated winter boots in all sizes, new hats, mittens, gloves, and warm socks, as well as heavy adult coats and parkas. All donations will go directly to the Eva Rothwell Centre, where they will be distributed through its community clothing room to support individuals and families in need.

Donations can be dropped off during dealership hours: Monday to Thursday, 9:00 am–8:00 pm; Friday and Saturday, 9:00 am–6:00 pm; and Sunday, 12:00 pm–4:00 pm.

It is a great opportunity to clear out your closets or pick up an extra winter essential to help someone in our community stay warm!
