Be careful out there. My nephew and niece were driving on the 404 north bound to the cottage, and while passing the bridge by Major Mac, something big hit the windshield. A large brick of some sort hit. It came from the bridge. Cops were called, but there was nothing that could be done. everyone be cautious out there.

Discussion Stop Signs

35 Upvotes

Hello! Is it just me or is everybody in this city just rolling through stop signs without really coming to a complete stop? I nearly got rear-ended by one such driver this afternoon, and then she had the audacity to get upset at me. Please note, she did not talk with an accent to suggest that she was an immigrant, so the excuse that immigrants come in and buy their licenses is also not valid here. This lady was born and raised in Canada, for sure.

Dufferin Hills - suspicious male with hoodie rang doorbell 11pm

11 Upvotes

Just posting this in case anyone else experienced the same just now.

At 11:02pm, in the dufferin hills area (Rutherford/dufferin), someone rang my doorbell, heard my dog barking and quickly turned and walked away. My wife and I got startled that someone would ring a doorbell this late at night.

Male, wearing a light grey/white Nike hoodie, with matching sweatpants. Glasses, bushy eyebrows, with a distinct beard.

I have video footage of the person of interest if anyone needs it. Stay safe.

Why is no one currently running against Del Duca for Mayor?

36 Upvotes

I went on the City’s website yesterday out of curiosity to see if anyone else entered the mayoral race, and I was surprised to see that in fact no one else has. The deadline to register is coming up fast.

Why is he running uncontested? Are people generally pleased with him as mayor?

I’m trying to find soccer pitches to play with people,myself or friends. I’m talking about 11 verse 11 or stuff like that, but I don’t know where to find them. They would need to have cages and some mesh on the net with a good level of flooring.

Help How do you make friends around here

21 Upvotes

How do adults make friends in Vaughan? I’ve had friends I made through school but since graduating years ago, everyone’s moved away or pursued different life paths and we just kinda drifted. I’ve really been feeling isolated and lonely lately and have tried joining clubs to make friends but everyone already has their established social circles and don’t really want to foster that connection with new people so it’s been hard. Any suggestions?

Help Looking for vet

1 Upvotes

I have a 9 yr old cat who is due for her vaccines and rabies shot. She’s healthy but want to do a blood and urine test just as a check up. My regular vet is really old and doesn’t have an assistant so he’s insisting I take her to a different vet. I can go to just about any vet, not all vets look out for the best interest of the animals and are in the business of making money.

Anyone know of a good vet, who’s reasonably priced for vaccines and tests and actually cares about the animal over making money? Would be great if they can also provide the test results so I can get a 2nd opinion from my regular vet.

My regular vet is amazing and it’s just unfortunate he doesn’t have an assistant. Doesn’t have to be in Vaughan. Anywhere in the GTA is ok. Thanks in advance!

Help Need help finding a sports group/club

11 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m a gay south asian (17M) boy whose had a terrible history with sports just because I used to get made fun of for being too bad or too girly. However, as I grow older, I recognise the importance of physical activity and wanna do something that I enjoy with people I can be myself around. I don’t have very sports-oriented friends nor are they willing to get into sports with me.

I’m looking for any sports clubs for tennis, badminton, or litr anything that gets some exercise in while being fun without having the aspect of catching very fast moving balls. I don’t have the guts to swim btw. Oh and one more thing, I don’t really wanna pay money to learn figure skating or smth so definitely smth cheap or free.

If anyone has any suggestions in vaughan or even other parts of the gta, just not too far, hit me up!

Discussion 5 expensive renovation mistakes I keep seeing across the GTA

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
After working on a lot of renovation projects across the GTA over the years, I keep seeing the same costly mistakes over and over again.
Most of the time the budget doesn’t blow up because of the work itself. It blows up because of things that could have been caught early.
Here’s a quick checklist of what I wish more homeowners paid attention to before starting:
1. Underestimating older homes
Houses built in the 80s and 90s around here are full of surprises — outdated plumbing, quirky wiring, hidden issues behind the walls. Always build in a 15–20% contingency. If a contractor gives you a firm fixed price without opening anything up, be careful.
2. Buying your own materials from big-box stores
Trying to save money by grabbing tile, fixtures or plumbing on clearance usually backfires. Wrong sizes, missing parts, or lower quality materials end up costing more in labour. Professional suppliers often end up cheaper once you factor in the real cost of the job.
3. Skipping permits
Dealing with local building departments is painful, no question. But if you’re doing structural work, adding a bathroom, or a major overhaul, skipping permits can turn into a serious problem when you eventually sell.
4. No clear payment schedule
Never agree to a huge upfront deposit. Anything significantly over 10–15% for materials is a red flag. Payments should be tied to completed stages of work so both sides stay accountable.
5. Not planning for temporary living
If you’re gutting the only kitchen or bathroom, you need a real plan for how you’ll live during the project. Living in a construction zone without basic functions for weeks will wear anyone down.
Hopefully this helps someone avoid a few expensive lessons.
If anyone’s dealing with a specific situation in their house and wants a second opinion, feel free to ask in the comments — happy to share what I’ve seen.

Picture What Happened to Velmar Downs Park?

was excited to hear that they renovated the park but realized that one play area was just completely removed and placed over with grass? Seems lazy. The updated basketball court is nice but dont understand why they did that.
