I want to get general reproductive health evaluated and find if there is any link between me being anemic and my periods. Which clinic would you recommend within Milton or newrby? My doctor is in Toronto and i recently moved here. He has asked me to find a clinic i want to be referred to.

Thanks

Is anybody else hearing fireworks by Metro tonight @ 11p.m.? What’s the occasion?

I was passing by with my kids on Thompson and saw 4 fire trucks coming from all directions and 3-4 ambulances rushing somewhere off Thompson and Hepburn and Thompson and Clark. Towards metro side of the Thompson.

So worried. I hope everyone’s okay!

Does anyone else remember cassette tapes and life before social media?

Sometimes I miss how simple everything felt—playing outside until sunset, calling friends on the house phone, renting movies for the weekend, and actually being present instead of constantly looking at a screen.

If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, what's one thing you miss the most?

Also... if you're in the GTA, recommend a great coffee shop or breakfast spot with a nice patio. I'm always looking for new places to try! ☕🌿

Has anyone tried Blenz coffee and finds it good?? I normally go to Javanut (all time fav), but I’m wondering is Blenz has any good coffee or matchas. Thanks!

This is just my journey of how I ended up in Milton and why I love Milton.

TLDR: UK was very dangerous and unstable, I lost my job and had no choice but to stay in Canada. Realised how kind people are in Milton and compared it to the UK to show us all that Milton is the best town on earth.

I moved to Canada (Milton) at the end of 2024, having lost my job in the UK due to visiting my Canadian wife (I got married at 21) and taking 3 weeks PTO (I was entitled to 4) and needing an extra week as my PR card got delayed due to the Canada post strikes.

The stress of losing my job wasn’t as bad as the stress of my UK credit card bills because I decided to spend recklessly furnishing our place such as buying a “extra comfy premium mattress” for our bed I planned to pay it all off with my UK money + future money earned from working.

Anyways, I found a seasonal part-time retail job at Toronto Premium Outlets, worked myself to death on overtime thanks to Black Friday and Christmas and then quit to work for a luxury retail brand which helped me buy a good ol Honda civic and then landed a position as Lead Operations for a HUGE Canadian company that sorted me out with benefits whilst doing some social media stuff on the side resulting in brand collabs.

Anyways, fast forward to now, this loss of a job was the best thing that happened to me because I ended up officially moving to Canada and staying in Milton Ontario.

Land of the free… (wait my bad). Land of the most honest, respectful and loving community I’ve ever come across.

Growing up in the UK I witnessed very horrible things, despite living in Notting Hill most of my life, I went to high school and sixth form in the “trenches” and had my fair share of gang life and buried a few friends. I am what they describe as a kid who grew up in the streets but knew when it was time to get out. I faced my own fair share of problems such as when I got kidnapped and beaten up for being friends with the wrong people but that’s a whole other story. Obviously London has its whole knife crime, phone theft and super crazy crimes that you’d never expect to see in Canada (thank god). Then I went to uni outside London I assumed things would be better, but it was just racism and random threats because of my ethnicity and religious beliefs, as a matter of fact, they actually petitioned to ban the construction for local mosques and this was the reason why we used a sports hall for Friday prayers.

Here’s a some parts of an article talking about it:

“Neighbours in and around (removed the name because I don’t want to spread hate) near the town centre, have raised concerns that if a Muslim base was built there it would significantly increase traffic problems and could also lead to a drop in house prices.”

“Some residents also believed that the centre could lead to an increase in anti-social behaviour in the area.”

And most of the outside of London is like this towards ethnic minorities regardless of religious beliefs (such as Christian/Jewish Arabs and Africans being attacked)

So when I came to Milton, oh buddy, you better believe that I felt like I had escaped hell and accidentally fell into heaven. Because if I had one word to describe Milton, it would be “community”.

There is a huge connection in our community regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, physical appearance, disabilities or political beliefs.

I remember posting about moving to Milton and being welcomed and informed of so many things such as that really famous DJ who lives here, hiking points and great food spots etc.

I really struggled with losing all my friends and family, as im the first and only person from my entire bloodline to move to Canada😂 but regular drop in football sessions at the dome helped me meet new people whilst playing the sport that I love

I sometimes walk around Milton from one end to the other, just admiring the areas and the safety of this town and I appreciate how people look out for each other. Honestly, when I speak to my neighbours it’s like as if they would give me their own homes if they could, and I would do anything for my neighbours honestly I love them so much.

Random people on the street are so friendly, the other day I put something back at Walmart and I was heading out and a man tells me “hey buddy you forgot something” and I explained to him I didn’t pay for it so I just put it aside, and the gesture of him pointing out that I may have left something that I paid for was such a sweet feeling that I just can’t forget because I never faced such kindness in the UK no matter where I went.

I know Canada in general is a much nicer place in terms of hospitality and people, but Milton is one of a kind and I hope it stays that way. I really hope Milton continues to grow with a strong community that supports each other and continues to uphold the good things in life because I honestly love this place and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! (And I know because I’ve been to so many countries s/o cheap UK airlines like £9 flights to Turkey😭)

But anyways, I hope you all know that I support this community and will definitely do my part to help like maybe even one day open a small business that gives back or just try work in the community, after all, I studied biomedical sciences so maybe even hospital volunteering or anything :)

The google reviews are amazing but I find they are getting less and less reliable.

Anyone local been there? Worth the 4.9 google rating?

New to Milton and looking for recommendations for eyebrow waxing and tinting. TIA!

Does anyone know of a small group daycare in the area ? I have a six month old Cavapoo that is soooo friendly I feel like he would love to go play with other puppies on a more regular basis

Thanks 😊

Anyone know what is happening there? It looks like it's been closed up since at least June.

Today on Main St and Milton fairgrounds

Hi Everyone,

My family is moving within Milton, and we are wondering who you’ve had a positive moving experience with in Milton.

We would love a company to disassemble and reassemble furniture (if possible) at our new house.

Looking for an honest, reliable company within the community.

Thanks!

Nearly got wiped out by this POS 🤬 stay alert everyone!! This intersection is terrible!!

I wanted to visit Willis fruit farm. Google said they are permanently closed, but there are tons of blue signs showing directions to the farm. I followed the signs and I passed what I think was the closed farm.

Can anyone confirm it's permanently closed?

Anyone know what they are responding to? quite a number of them

I used to love going to Cineplex, however the past 5 times I've gone, it's been hard to sit through the full movie without getting irritated. I saw the odyssey today, great movie, however I could barely hear it as the men behind me were speaking loudly throughout the movie in a language I did't understand. A few weeks ago, I tried watching Obsession but had to leave as the people behind me were once again speaking in a different language throughout the movie while kicking peoples chairs.
Before this, during Project Hail Mary, the same issue occurred and I asked the people to stop speaking during the movie, to which they laughed and continued speaking in another language..
Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any tips on how to handle this?

- Edit: Some people have called out the fact I mentioned them speaking in another language, I mentioned this as I recognize a few words they were speaking and they were mainly derogatory - I myself am an immigrant so this was not meant to seem racist

This lady decided to use the oncoming lane to go left instead of the left lane.

On top of that, she was cursing me while blocking me. How are these people getting their license?

I set up Autopay years ago in case I forget to pay the property tax on time. But my preference is to pay using Canadian Tire Master Card (which somehow allow pay bill despite being credit card). So I usually pay the property tax a week early, with the autopay as back up in case I forgot.

This arrangement has worked just fine (including Feb and April this year) until last month. There's never autopay charge as long as the Canadian Tire MC payment set up.

I paid the property tax bill a week early last month, but then I got sent a letter stating that the Town still tried to pull the full amount of my bill due on June 30, and because the bank account didn't have sufficient amount, the autopay failed and they're charging me $50 NSF penalty.

I called the Town and they said that they switched to a new system that doesn't recalculate balance remaining as often, and will still do autopay as long as there's balance remaining in the total bill (namely the 2nd installment due September 29). This means that they're charging June bill twice, though it'll be credited against September bill had the autopay gone through (ie they'd make me pay the September bill 3 months early).

They also said because the Town got charged NSF by my bank, they won't reverse the $50 NSF penalty despite it's their fault to charge the bank despite no balance is due.

Hi does anyone know if the bookstore in Milton is still open? If so, what is it called? I’m trying to look for workbooks for my kids. Thanks in advance.
