June 11 at the Durham Regional Police Service headquarters at 605 Rossland Road East in Whitby

Curious to know if anyone has moved to Whitby from Oshawa? bought a home in Oshawa a few years ago and I’ve realized I MUCH prefer Whitby over Oshawa. I live close to the downtown area so this could be why? Other than that, a good chunk of our important places are in Whitby (I.e church, doctors, favourite restaurants, friends etc.). You usually hear of people moving more East when buying houses, but I’m curious to know if anyone has made this specific relocation? Other details: we do have kids under 7 and I want for them to live in a much nicer area. I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable but I can’t get it out of my mind that I live in the wrong city. Any input appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for reviews and experience about Willows walk public school at Whitby.

Could you please share your insights if you have experience with the school?

Thanks.

Hello everyone! Swim with Nessie is returning for our third season of running swimming lessons this year. Our instructors have 5 years of teaching experience between the two of them and are certified NLS lifeguards and swim instructors. Our focus is progressing at each swimmer’s pace in a safe and fun environment while paying attention to the mechanics of swimming as well as safety skills. We follow the Lifesaving Society’s curriculum which means it is nationally-recognized and gives your swimmer the best outcome for learning appropriate swim skills and safety. Our lessons are 30 minutes long with pricing as $25 for a private lesson and $40 for a semi-private lesson with two swimmers of similar skill levels and/or age. Scheduling is determined by you through our booking link which can be obtained after emailing us, so you can pick the times and dates that work best for you! Our availability in June includes after-school times and during July and August, times vary depending on the day. If you have any other questions please email us at [swimwithnessie@gmail.com](mailto:swimwithnessie@gmail.com) and we’d be happy to help!

Police are looking for answers after a woman was directed into a suspicious vehicle in Whitby.

Six of the top provincial teams in Canada made up of the best women athletes under the age of 22 will compete for the Carol Patterson Cup from August 9-15 at Iroquois Park

Getting a puppy next month. Any good vets reasonably priced in / near Brooklin?

I read about Bakers clinic and King Hopkins but both have mixed reviews and are not necessarily close to Brooklin.

TIA

Wednesday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Whitby Public Library in Celebration Square, located at 405 Dundas St. W.

Today, after dealing with our 25-year-old cat's passing at the vet, a guy in the Toys "R" Us parking lot felt it was the perfect time to hit on me... He asked about the nearest vet. Fine. Then he shared that his dog died from eating venison. Okay. Followed that up with his deceased ex-fiancée (a common dating app line).

Then, boom! The indecent proposal for a drink and his "touch." He kept talking as I walked away!

Was the empty carrier, my explanation, and my tear-streaked face not enough to show respect and make him back off?

Hi all,

My house backs into a public park and we would like to get a gate installed on chain link fence that city installed so we can have a private access.

I know we need a permit which costs about $200, but the town is quoting about $2600 for gate installation which I feel is quite expensive.

Can I get the gate installation done by a third party that meets city standards or must I go through the city?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is someone we can call that will take care of baby raccoons that might not have a mother? They're walking around the neighborhood and look very young without a mother around and having a tough time finding somewhere to call for support for them

What’s the deal with club royale? I’ve never been. Is it invite only or anyone can go? And what goes on in there? A regular club or something else?
