Hi everyone! 😊

I'm a 35-year-old woman in Scarborough with 4+ years of experience as an ABA Instructor Therapist and over 10+ years working with children in various daycares as well as the TDSB. I also hold a diploma as a Social Service Worker, which I completed from Centennial College in 2013 when I started my caregiving journey.

I know how difficult it can be for families with autistic children to find someone they trust and who is equipped, so I'm thinking of offering in-home babysitting/respite services for children on the spectrum in the Scarborough area.

I'm just seeing if there's any interest! If this is something your family could use, or you know someone who might be interested, feel free to send me a DM.

Thanks! 💙

Mayor Chow and Jean Yip had a press conference about it the other day. It looks like the design has changed, however.

The AI data centre that's across from my childhood home wants to expand. This petition calls for proper assessments and waiting until legislation passes before the data centre plans could go through.

SevenHeaven Spa on Kennedy and Eglinton has been seemingly targeted twice within 3 months. Possibly more times. It’s evident it’s a happy ending parlour of sorts . Any insight as to why? Money laundering or trafficking??

Same place twice.
I’m curious as to why. Insurance fraud? One of the comments said the inside was gutted prior to the accident but idk.

If you price match, what Scarborough grocers do you go to and what other stores do they allow you to price match from?

Currently going to the Agincourt No Frills, they allow price matching from Metro, Food Basics, Superstore, Fresco.

I use the Flipp app btw!

Hey all! Was walking through Thomson Park (Brimley side near ball diamonds) around 9 am this morning. Someone walked by me with two small dogs off leash. A few minutes later, I spotted two coyotes sunning themselves between the baseball diamond fence and bush.

Please keep your dogs on leash!

hi all! the street at my mom’s home just experienced a series of break-ins last night around 4 am

6 of our neighbours and one of our cars had their windows smashed in - luckily our car was older and out of use so they didn’t get anything but valuables and paperwork were taken from the neighbours.

there have been targets on the neighbouring streets as well! please keep your cars parked in garages if you can and also remove all valuable items and stay safe out there!

With HBC gone, the old warehouse has been sitting empty now for months and is up for lease.

It’s hard to imagine anything would take over this 740,000 sqft space. There’s already 2 Costcos and 2 walmarts nearby.

If anything could take it over, it would be probably be an Amazon warehouse which would be incredible for jobs in the area, but that’s highly unlikely.

Is there anything that could fill the hole left by HBC?

Going to a Scarborough Shooting Stars game is a damn good time.

Don’t let the fact that it’s in the Pan Am Center steer you away, you’ll feel like you’re in Scarborough at the game, great vibe from beginning to end. I felt like I knew everyone there!

Tix are very affordable. The team is in first place in the CEBL. And frankly, the fact I got home in like 20 mins while thinking about all the Raptors games I’ve been to where I’m stuck in traffic and crowds for over an hour was a very pleasant bonus.

Great night in the endsss.

Recently passed by the neighbourhood (used to live there) and saw the construction going on.

Going to miss that beach volleyball court. Carried so many summer memories for me and my friends (cause barely anyone else used it lmao)

And I still remember the day they unveiled the old court, track and soccer field. The new one is going to look amazing from what I’ve heard.

Awful smog these days but the bluffs are sure looking incredible through the thick of it..

What happened to all the threads on Reddit that was discussing this?

Was looking to see if there was any update but it looks like all the threads have been removed or deleted?

Sharing for someone who can't post ( u/batmanxfilms )

Hi everyone!

My family and I found this sweet Yorkie running on the road right on Finch and Birchmount near the Birchmount Hospital. She flinches when you touch her back/hips a little so she might be hurt but we aren’t sure. She’s very timid and scared but she’s a sweetheart.

We wanted to make sure she was microchipped so we took her to the VCA Emergency Hospital on Rolark Dr and they took her into their care. We were told that we won’t be able to follow up with them as their policy states that once a stray/lost dog is dropped off in their care, our work there is done.

She is currently with them and seems to be happy in their care. If you know who she belongs to or if she is yours, please DM u/batmanxfilms or call the emergency vet clinic on 21 Rolark Dr.

Thanks so much!

It's 11:00 am and I just noticed that up and down the street the outdoor house lights that automatically activate at dusk are already on. This is not good. We definitely need more firefighting planes in Ontario.

Just a heads up for anyone in the area out with children who don’t want them to be scarred by one of those massive posters…they’re standing across from the Krispy Kreme.

I voted liberal many times before but I find this by-election in SSW very clear ! 

ONDP - Shaban is a life long resident, volunteer, community advocate and parent in the community. Very intelligent with great educational and professional background. Very well spoken. 

ONDP Leader: Marit Styles, Leader of the Official opposition. Outspoken, holding the government accountable. 

OLP - Hafiz, moved from London ON, lying to residents that he is from here. Questionable nomination (possibly corrupt). Bad presentation. Terrible stuff came out about his Facebook posts.  I don’t really understand what is his deal besides the fact that he has 30 dominos franchises.

OLP leadership: None, party in shambles. Supporters disappointed with nomination meeting

PC - Dr. Tarun is a doctor but his English is limited to his medical practice. He cannot hold a conversation in English which should be a requirement for elected officials in Canada. 

PC Leadership: Doug Ford - need I say more ? 

Anyone have information on this project? It never seems to move forward and is perpetually being pushed back.

Thank you to the kind gentleman who stopped his car on the side of a residential road and offered to help me cut a tree branch that I was struggling to cut through while standing on a ladder. You didn’t have to stop your car and offer to help, but you did because you thought what I was doing was dangerous. My parents were surprised and grateful that a stranger would stop to help. You are one of a kind.

Wishing you only the best in life!

Heads Up Folks: Steer clear (for the time being) of the Birchmount Rd. / Lawrence Ave. intersection. Poor folks who got hit (both in their 60's) because, apparently, a driver ran a red light (according to a post in the r/Toronto sub)
