It doesn't really matter what anyone says on this forum. However, many who posted that Canadians couldn't cross the land border between the U.S. and Mexico, also posted Government site links that confirmed it. So, you can roll the dice... or not. I'll wait until the official announcement on May 21st.

I have Canadian friends who call the Us border every cople of days to be sure it is open as they wait for their second Vaccine down here  They have never been told by the border that Canadians cannot cross I would take that persons comment with a grain os salt I had no problem passing through the border with a Canadian frien to get our Vaccines in Laredo

The Ecology Dept is in the same building where you go to pay your property Tax bill . Main floor off to your left or You can ask the person managing the information stall inside the front door they will direct you.

The Government offices close for the 2 weeks around Easter The Holiday started Monday and lasts till April 10th.

The new laws against animal abuse are not fully understood or applied equally yet I would take your complaint to the ecology Department in Chapala if the birds are being abused then the abuse should be reported they have the ability to not only stop the abuse but to lay fines against the people who are causing it .This administration is trying their best to help the animals that is why the new municipal shelter SOS Chapala came into being.

The store west of the gym in Riberas not only has a selection of large pots but if you show them a picture of what you are looking for they have brought items back from Tonala for me Their markup is very low far less than the cost of gas to make a trip to Tonala.

My accountant says access to Canadian health care.

Only if you are prepared to cheat Every province has a limited number of days you can live outside your Canadian home and still use the Canadian health care system and if the bill is big enough they have been known to check.

The rules are very simple and rev Canada is only to happy to assist you.  You can google the information and call the numbers listed It is an easy process I had my accountant put a notice on my last income tax that I submitted before leaving Canada to advise them that I was declaring Non - resident status for the future . We have a Tax treaty with Mexico which limits your tax on pensions etc to 15 % They take that at source... pretty easy.

Scallion did a really good turkey dinner for Thanksgiving so that would be my suggestion of a place to try for Christmas they have enough space between tables

It is usually a buffet for special days.

When businesses started to reopen, we were encouraged by the ones that were consistently diligent and made a point of patronizing those businesses. One of those was the Riberas Pet Store formally referred to as the animal shelter. Today I was disappointed to find employees with no masks, not even under their chin. The one stocking the cat food was sneezing. Several businesses have loosened up recently and it's disheartening to no longer feel confident with the ones we used to trust with following protocol. This is part of our new reality. 

I am very sorry you had that experience visiting our store. The staff is supposed to wear their masks at all times They have been provided with sufficient masks so there is no excuse.I have sent a copy of your message to the store manager Luis,and asked him to have another talk with the staff. Please advise him if you find employees without masks in your future visits.  We all wish to remain as safe as possible during these times.

Call Gustavo he speaks english has built everything from a small bodega to some 1,000,000 dollar homes He has an excellent reputation for both honesty and quality of his work 333 157 3048

Gwynne I think you missed something the dogs that are up at the front gate belong to the people who live right inside the gate I have fed and spade / neutered their dogs for them since I moved here The actual shelter cannot be seen from the front gate it is about a football field back from the gate  and well away from the back road. I do not know where the home that someone claims is less than 100 meters from the shelter is but I am sure they would not make that up. The dogs do bark when their pens are being cleaned and they are getting fed usually I hear them around 5 or 6 each day when I am doing my last yard clean up   I do a last walk out after the news at 11 and it is quiet unless someone is partying but then no one is complaining about the music.

Hey be, the  city sprawl" was there before the dog shelter.  That spot should never have been considered for a shelter.  Caging animals up and not walking them nor trying to find them a home is not helping the animals, it just makes some do good doers feel good about themselves 

Why are you sayng that they are not trying to find them homes??? A few of the dogs have been flown North thanks to Bonevoyage Other Shelters have helped with some They post the dogs available for adoption and some they have in foster homes getting fully vetted to make them adoptable.They are the new kids on the street and do not have the years of established volunteers willing to walk them etc give them a chance or better yet help them. These dogs have all been rescued from horrific conditions right here in the Chapala tax area.  A decent community would be reaching a hand out too help.

The dogs do not bark all the time There are workmen there during the day completing the septic system as well as the buildings etc and the dogs are quiet for the most part. The dogs are rescues from abuse. Starting up any new program takes a huge amount of effort and time to iron out all the kinks. They are making improvements daily 

We use both Eric and Mayra in Chapala  and Hector Ramirez in Ajijic all good  Vets

I live across the street from the shelter and i rarely hear them  

I have been buying them from the hardware store just east of Superlake in SJC they usually have 2 sixes available.

I have looked for air plants with no luck if you find any please post the vivero that has them
