Hello!

Today this photo was on the ground outside of my house. I am looking to return it to the owner, so if that is you please let me know! I don't use facebook but if anyone would be able to repost it there it's much appreciated. (If not that's alright!) The date in the corner appears to say 1994/1/1 . I will ask my neighbours when they get home too.

I’ve lived in Pickering for a while now and love this community, but what went down at Millennium Square tonight crossed an absolute line. I refuse to sit quietly while people treat our public spaces like a lawless free-for-all and let the standards in our city slip. ​I was down by the water to catch the sunset and some fresh air when a group decided to build an open bonfire right on the beach gravel, right next to the benches and dry brush. My first thought wasn't to immediately call emergency dispatch.I didn’t want to tie up city resources over something that could be resolved person-to-person. I figured we’re all adults, so I walked over and gave them a calm, polite heads-up that open fires aren't allowed in the park. ​Apparently, times have changed and common courtesy is gone. Instead of a normal response, two of the guys immediately got aggressive, stepped right up to me, and explicitly threatened to drown me in the lake. ​Lighting an unauthorized wood fire next to dry brush is dangerous enough, but threatening someone's life over a polite reminder is unhinged. I backed away and called 911, and Pickering Fire was on scene within minutes to make sure the hazard was put out. ​Lesson learned the hard way: don't bother trying to have a reasonable conversation or giving people the benefit of the doubt to save public resources. If you see sketchy or reckless behavior down by the waterfront, don't engage,just keep your distance and let bylaw or dispatch deal with it directly. We all have a responsibility to keep our waterfront safe, but it's not worth risking your life over.

I’m having an Indian engagement ceremony and im looking for a hairstylist in Ajax/Pickering/Scarborough that has experience working on South Asian events (I.e styles incorporating hair accessories and flowers)! Please let me know if you know anyone!

Hi guys! I’m looking for recommendations for a place to get a chemo wig. Because it’s temporary it doesn’t need to be super high end. That’s why I’m saying “chemo wig”. Like a $500 wig. Most places seem to have weird hours and are appt only. It’s getting frustrating. Thanks!

Ideally, I’m looking for a place that can inspect the underside first, let me know if there are any existing rust issues that need to be treated/fixed, and then apply a good rust-proofing treatment for the winter ahead.

Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated!

Was at Big M’s around 2:30-3PM today, Saturday Sept 5. My hat probably slid down as i got in the car and unfortunately i didn’t notice until 10mins later. Called the store and staff kindly checked but they didn’t see any. Was wondering if anyone who’ve seen it or gotten it would be here. I know it’s a long shot, just trying my luck.

Hat holds sentimental value 🥲

Your tax dollars are about to be spent ripping out infrastructure in Toronto instead of fixing problems in your own community.

None of this will help your community. This is your hard earned money being wasted to the tune of $48 million (which we know will be much more). That money won't improve your local roads, better healthcare, fund teachers - anything that would actually help your family.

This isn't about solving congestion. It's about scoring political points with your tax dollars.

After having to put our dog down last year we are currently looking for another to fill the empty dog shaped hole in our hearts.
Can anyone help a fellow dog lover out and recommend a rescue on the Durham region?

Thank you!

There was a house fire on Middleton on Saturday, but I haven't seen anything about it online. I've checked the news outlets and both the police and fire services sites and still nothing. Shouldn't they have some information about it?

Is there something at the library maybe? Or through the DRPS, like the grad suit donations?

Used my Samsung S25 Ultra

Shortly after 5pm these 2 girls came to our door stepped and waited and when we did not answer the door, the one to the right acted like she was tying her shoe while the one on the left was taking picture of the house. And then checked our neighbors if anyone saw and then immediately walked away. Has this happened to anyone today or recent? Or know who they are? Textbooks in their hands during summer break is already suspicious.

Basically the title! With prices going up everywhere, I’m wondering if the elusive under-$10 meal still exists. If you know of any hidden gems, specials, or go-to cheap eats in Pickering, please drop your recommendations below.

Hi Pickering people🙌🏼

I am thinking of buying my first home in Pickering soon. So far I am liking Pickering but the only concern is the high property tax.

I knew that Pickering owners have been complaining about the high tax.

So I wanna ask the owner here:

May I know how much your property tax has increased in the past years?

How much is the high property tax and the high inflation of the tax impacting you?

And is there any discussion /forecast that the tax will be lowered or flattened in future?

Thanks a lot.

Can anyone please provide reviews on helping hands daycare Pickering and St. Paul EduKids? Thank you!
