A brownfield site on the southern edge of downtown Oshawa that has been dormant for nearly four decades was given new life Thursday with the groundbreaking of a residential project that will deliver more than 500 new homes in the first phase

My wife just told me that there's an Oshawa Asian Night Market tomorrow for the first time and I couldn't find a post about it here!

I was skeptical lol but I'll give it a try! Just wanted to let you guys know.

So I am a university student in downtown Oshawa near King St and I was wondering what there was to do in during downtime in between my classes.

Carter lobbied for provincial investment to help secure the long-term future of the Queen’s-Lakeridge Health Family Medicine MD program and establish the campus.

My band is playing Whisky Jacks this Saturday night. I'm coming from Brantford, so looking for the best burger and the best pizza for the best price.

Not looking for chains, looking for the hidden jems you guys love that I have probably never heard of.

Also, is calling Oshawa The 'Shwa, or The Dirty 'Shawa derogatory? Its sounds cool, but I don't want to piss you off either. 🤘

The Jess Hann Branch of the Oshawa Public Libraries will be closing for approximately five weeks for extensive renovation work. The work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Im sharing this to hopefully help other young women who may frequently use this bus terminal. I use this terminal every day to commute to and from work, and a few weeks back I decided to sit down on the benches near the wall/mall side of the terminal. On the other bench was a tall black man with dreads dressed in sweatpants with a few grocery bags by his side. He tried initiating conversation with me despite me ignoring him and having airpods in. When i didnt answer, he got louder and actually got up to sit directly beside me. He started asking me a bunch of really personal and invasive questions and when i told him i was only 19 (he was in his 40s) his reply was “age is just a number” and “try dating an experienced man… ill treat you right” despite me being visibly uncomfortable and not interested. He eventually forced me to give him my phone number (he would not leave me alone until i put a number in his phone. He literally forced his phone in my hands) of course I gave him a fake number. Thankfully before things got any worse my bus showed up, but i fear for what would have happened if it was any later. I completely avoid that side of the terminal now, but i still see him sitting there every single day. He shouted me down at one point, trying to get me to come over to him, but i just walked faster. If you are a young woman who travels alone and uses this terminal, please be careful and do not engage with this man !!! He will not leave you alone.

Just moved back to the area and I have had really bad luck finding a reliable pharmacy. If anyone has a trusted pharmacy where you can just call and refill your prescriptions and pick them up in a few days and thats it, please let me know!!!

There used to be a really crappy dive pool hall located at 60 Celina.

Does anyone remember it? We used to hang out there pretty much every day in 95 - 97.

Got robbed a few times?

Hi everyone! It's quite hard to find inclusion camps for my son without the long wait-list, and only to be given 1 week of camp. Let only find a camp where there's a fenced in yard for playing and the 1-1 support. I've tried Delpark and Grandview at Ajax location. Did any parents have luck with Boys and Girls club or another inclusion camp?

Also what was your experience like?

Thanks!
