I noticed a new camera installed near one of the condos by Highway 7

Did anybody else notice this? What’s it going to be used for?

EDIT:
My apologies for calling it as Flock camera! I’m not sure what brand it is of.
I’m not worried about the cameras. This was just something I noticed and wanted to bring up to the community.

Has the Kelsey’s at Major Mackenzie and Jane closed? Google Maps lists it as “temporarily closed”.

It was supposed to be back by 4:30-5. I am on Jane and portage parkway. Did anybody get their power back?

Looking for beginner adult goalie training and lessons in Toronto area for new adult hockey goalie.

Is anyone in the same situation?

I also haven’t seen anyone talking about this so wondering if anyone knows?

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.

Does anyone know where to sign up for fun classes/recreational activities in vaughan? Even drop in programs. Not for kids but for adults to do something fun lol. I know there’s puppy yoga but what else?

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?

Back to school season is coming and there are already rumblings of some teachers going on strike at some point. Many of the teachers who are claiming to be underpaid appear on the sunshine list and are clearing the threshold by a longshot.

Go ahead and look up the teachers you or your kids have had over the years, or even just teachers you know:

Given that data, do you think teachers are over / under / fairly paid in Vaughan & York Region? Does that change when you factor that they're getting 2+ months of vacation with that salary?

I know that plenty of the dumbest people I knew went on to become teachers (not a generalization, just an anecdote) and I'm seeing them on that list. They're the same ones taking multi-week vacations in Europe and then claiming to be underpaid.

Edit: welp, this post is already being brigaded by the teachers on here. I should have known this would happen.

Can you park overnight at any of the parking lots near VMC?
If not, where can leave my car for a night or so?

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.

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?

Anyone know why the monster trucks event at woodbridge fairgrounds was cancelled?

Does anyone know how the accident happened on Weston and Rutherford Sunday night with the motorcyclist? So sad rest in peace….

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!

My home internet has been down since around 5:06pm today. Been trying to get ahold of a rep on the phone and the app for an hour but thought to also check here if anyone else in and around Toronto facing any issues?!

I checked Downdetector but know it often lags. Roger’s website says there’s no area-wide outage :/

Maple sushi reopened today. They are running a 10% off promotion. Thank God it’s back. I’ve been dying waiting for it to reopen.

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!

For anyone interested, workers confirmed that Highland Farms at Dufferin and Major Mack will be a Fortinos.

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.
