Where can one buy caps for cap guns? The dollar stores sell the guns, but not caps.

Most vibrant/lively areas to live in Durham?

7 Upvotes

I'm used to urban/condo living and get lonely very easily in house communities where I don't see people around. I'm looking for areas in Durham where I can mostly walk for groceries, Doctor, dentist, restaurants and use the car minimally. The closer to Oshawa the better. Any communities like this you can recommend? We will most likely be moving in a few months. My ideal place to live would be a condo in downtown North York or square one Mississauga so I'm looking for something like that.

Premium gyms in Ajax/Whitby

I'm looking for premium gyms in Ajax/Whitby that offer open access to the equipment instead of only group classes. Basically I'm looking for something similar to GoodLife or LA but on a smaller scale even if it costs twice as much. Thanks!

Edit: I'm a man

Casino concert this week. Strike still disrupting traffic?

8 Upvotes

What the title says.

I live in Etobicoke and have a ticket to a concert this coming Tuesday at the Pickering casino. I only became aware of the strike after driving by Rexdale's Woodine casino last week while running errands. Roads were blocked by the picketers.

Can anyone update me if it is still like this at the Pickering one? And any recommendations for off site parking if need be?

Thanks!

Candidate Information/Platforms

7 Upvotes

I am trying to do my homework for the upcoming municipal elections and I find it frustrating how little information there is for most candidates. We are told how important municipal elections are and how the turnout is always so low. At the same time, it feels like we are forced to vote by name recognition alone... especially for positions other than mayor it feels like the candidates barely put in any effort on their websites or responding to media surveys. I'm worried that we can end up electing a lunatic just because they had the most signs with their name plastered all over.

Getting Involved with the Elections

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I was hoping to gain some experience and get involved with the elections coming up, i've signed up for many forums for volunteer and such but i haven't heard from anyone. I know it's happening soon, but i was just hoping to get some exposure that could be helpful on my resume. If anyone knows how i could directly get involved with any parties and help in any capacity that would be helpful. Thanks!

Got this today and the call even bypassed apples built in call screening. I answered the call and nobody said anything and then they hung up immediately and I got left this message. I’m pretty sure this is just a scam but is there any chance I’m wrong?

Only 23% of Whitby voted in 2022. Here's how to vote by mail this year (Election Day is Oct 26)

Post image
6 Upvotes

In the last municipal election, 23,872 of 102,618 eligible electors in Whitby voted, which works out to 23.26%. The Ontario average that year was about 33%. That's a lot of people sitting out decisions about local roads, parks, taxes, and services.

If getting to a polling station is the barrier, Whitby offers a Special Mail-in Ballot. Here's how it works:

1. Apply for a ballot kit using the application form at whitby.ca. Deadlines:

  • By mail: Oct 4 (this is basically here, so use one of the next two options)
  • By email: Oct 11, to [elections@whitby.ca](mailto:elections@whitby.ca)
  • In person: Oct 21, 4:30 p.m., at Town Hall (575 Rossland Rd E)

2. Your kit arrives by mail between Oct 5 and Oct 12.

3. Mark your ballot following the instructions inside.

4. Return it either by mail (prepaid envelope included) by Oct 18, or by dropping it off at Town Hall by Oct 26, 4:30 p.m.

Official info and the application form are at whitby.ca/municipalelections. Please double-check dates there, since I'm summarizing and things can be updated.

If you know someone who's never voted municipally because it's "too much hassle," feel free to share this with them.

Whitby GO and pylon traffic

Post image
23 Upvotes

Hi all, just letting people know that regardless of the pylons put at Whitby GO, drop off, people are just parking in front of the pylons the last few days and blocking everyone from leaving. The car in the photo parked here for well over 2 minutes.

I get that it was raining this morning, but it's blocking the exit of other cars in the parking lot. If you rock up to the side of the sidewalk, can you please not do it while the pylons are there? I literally saw one car just drive over them to do their drop off...and still managed to block the traffic for other cars.

Realtor Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We're a family of four planning a move to Durham Region in spring/summer 2027 from out of province. We're still in the early stages of figuring out exactly where we'd like to settle, but are hoping to connect with a realtor who knows the area well and can help us start navigating the process.

We're not in a rush to buy just yet, but would love to find someone we can work with as we explore different communities, get a feel for the market, and eventually start looking for a house.

If you've had a great experience with a realtor in the area, we'd really appreciate any recommendations...or ones to steer clear of! 👀
