Abbreviations OH TWP etc
 

Love reading all the posts as would love to be in Canada - we have a cottage on the lake at Seeley's Bay near Kingston, ON.

But my question is - is there anywhere where I can look up all the abbreviations!! Took me a week to work out that OH is other half but some of there i don't get at all!

This is a pretty good guide:

It's from the Australian section but most of it is fairly general. There are parts of it relating to posting, lingo and etiquette.

And, I'm so envious of your cottage. I grew up in Brockville, Ontario and really miss the Thousand Islands area. :D

If you go to the Wiki (on blue bar at top of page) then there is a page in the Canadian section which explains them all. Just type 'abbreviations' into the search box and it'll bring it straight up.

We thought we'd do something different for a bit and are in Australia for the next year or 2 (been here almost 2 already). I do love it here and I could stay but we had always planned to go back to Canada.

I wish I could talk my husband into moving to Brockville, not sure it will ever happen though. He wants to move west by his family and I want to move east by mine. I've got another year or so to work on him, so who knows....
