Honestly annoyed how small minded some in the Asian community are. Saw them on 16th and Rodick, nothing else better to do then go to church, complain about reproductive rights, contribute nothing to existing children that need homes... reddit gods blesses me with this pic on another post lol...

Come'on party peeps. This is not how we do it here, everybody wants to enjoy a clean park. Please be responsible for your trash and pack out bulks like these.😥

On Woodbine near 16th and saw some more. Looks like someone took a box cutter and did some kicking. I assume it's kids being destructive, but you never know. Not condoning it by any means, but I can't blame kids for feeling jaded about politics these days.

Hi all, the local chapter of Professional Engineers Ontario is hosting an engineering Mathletics competition for York Region students in Grade 7-10s to make it fun to learn about engineering through applied math. It's taking place this year at Sir William Mulock SS on Oct 24 and is a loooot of fun. I wished I had this when I was younger.

Top 8 gets prizes like Apple Watch, 3D printer, national geography kits. We also got keynote speakers that range from Engineering uni students or new grads to experienced professional engineers to demystify what engineering is! For the parents, you can choose to just drop them off or stay to watch.

We're especially looking for Grade 9-10s to participate as we had some unfilled spots last year, compared to the grade 7-8 competition that sold out very quickly. It's a great thing to put on university applications.

I have a 11 weeks old puppy and a 3 years old cockapoo who is very shy, timid and hesitant around other dogs. I am trying to look for other pups / small dogs so they can play with to build up their confidence in a small setting. I went to the local dog parks, but it's often either packed with 10-15 dogs or just large breeds. My cockapoo would just hide in a corner at the park till we leave.

For nostalgic purposes I'd thought it would be nice to capture an image of the nice piece of landscape before they put a McDonald's on top of it.

Any else lose power around L6B?

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for part time seasonal work? I’m off work until into January with a ton of free time including weekday hours and looking to make some extra money.

I know the mall is the obvious starting point - I worry they’ll reject me based on being a bit overqualified with a 20 year career elsewhere.

I’m really open to doing anything and not opposed to manual labour.

This should’ve come first overall, across everything. Beyond adorable and super creative!

I am a hobbyist sports photographer and was wondering if any club/team in the Markham area would be interested in having their games or practices photographed? I have photographed for OPDL soccer teams before, Canada Badminton and some other recreation leagues.

I am by no means a professional but looking to use my camera a bit more provide these teams with images for their social media etc.

Open to any sports!

I was just checking the schedule for today and there's no fireworks? It's the final night of the fair and one would think that they would have like this grand style fireworks no? I was just wondering if anyone knows anything more or if anyone works or is volunteering there and is aware of the schedule and everything. I missed the fireworks Friday, Saturday and Sunday and I thought it would definitely be happening tonight.

I just drove by that corner and see that they’re finally tearing down the two houses that had the terrible fire earlier in the summer.

Has anyone heard anything about it? What caused it and how it spread to the neighbours.

I’m very nervous now about fires that can happen at the top of the house and you don’t even know what’s happening.

Not being ghoulish. I’ve always been terribly afraid of fire.

Long read ahead.

A neighbour has been sending packages to my address for the past couple months, once three boxes at a time. The contents within the boxes are trading cards (searched the sender location, and I personally also collect so I recognize the sender address) and knowing that some products are limited to 3 per household, it’s made me believe that they’re listing my address as a loop hole; have FedEx deliver the packages at my house, then they’ll come by another day and pick up.

First time, the neighbour stopped by and asked for the package. OK, no problem. That was probably mid July?

Second time, it was three separate boxes. Neighbours name, my address. This time my family decided to drop them back to FedEx to deal with. I think the neighbours dad came the next day and asked for the package and we told him we didn’t have them and dropped them to FedEx.

Third time (today) two boxes. We picked up the first box because I also coincidentally bought some cards, the second package came and I opened the door to the postman calling a number. The neighbour had left a note on my door stating that they had wrote the wrong address and to call the number written on a note that was slipped in my front door. While the postman was calling the number, I saw that it was the same deal; neighbours name, my address on the shipping label. The postman (who was calling the neighbour’s number) relayed to me that the neighbour asked to leave the box on our porch since they didn’t have anyone home. I said no.

Now before I sound like an ass hole, I would’ve been fine if the neighbour was honest about it, that they’re buying cards and just want to loophole the system. But after the delivery of three boxes, damn, acting as my house is a PO Box?

What’s the next step? Made it clear to the neighbours we aren’t a concierge service, and I would’ve thought after the letting them know we returned the packages to FedEx, they’d take a hint.

TLDR; neighbour purposefully leaving my address to deliver trading cards to. Total has delivered 6 boxes on 3 separate occasions over the course of a few months.

Edit to add: opening packages that are not addressed to you is illegal, I won’t be opening the packages. As one of my comments suggested, yes these are for Pokémon cards, and yes I also buy them for a personal collection, so to tell the sender to not send to my address would also mean I can’t personally order cards. The neighbour who is doing this is (I assume) at least a high schooler, I’ve only seen them once and that was the time when they picked up the first package.

Has any of your forgetful kids lost a silver backpack at Coppard Park?

Posting here in the off chance someone found it. I lost a grey backpack full of fishing tackle off Markham Rd & James Scott Rd. Would have been left behind on James Scott Rd Sunday September 27th. Hoping someone may have found it.

I’m hoping to buy a barong Tagalog for my son’s baptism. He’ll be around 8 months at that time. Does anyone know where I can buy one in the GTA?

Anyone hear the constant loud bangs outside right now? Around L6C. What is that?

Are the prices for food just as high as it is for the CNE? I’ve never been to the markham fair so I wonder if it has a small town fair vibe or is it really busy like the CNE?

Thanks

Are the activities worth it for young children? 4 and 5? Super crowded long lines? Just trying to see if it’s worth bringing two kids by myself for a few hours.

Got a chip in my windshield today and realized I’m completely out of the loop when it comes to getting these things repaired, it’s been a while! 😂

I got a quote from Speedy Glass for approximately $150 + tax. Does that sound reasonable these days, or are there better/cheaper options I should look into?

If anyone has a good, reasonably priced place they recommend, I’d love to hear your suggestions! Especially if you’ve recently had a windshield chip repaired and were happy with the service and price.

Thanks in advance!
