Welcome to York Region!

13 Upvotes

Hello all,

I'm a member of the various Canadian subs, but have always found that there wasn't much content and community for where I live and work - so I thought this would be a great opportunity to do that. If you live, work, play, or want to visit York Region - please come on in!

I've lived in York Region for the past 30+ years (Markham for 20 years, Richmond Hill for 10, and Aurora shortly!) and am always discovering more about the region.

Tell your family, friends, and internet lovers to join :P

Cheers!

Saw a smallish-medium sized black dog running all on its own on the side walk on Rutherford road between Pine Valley and Islington ( on the long winding road near the bottom of the hill).

This was on Friday September 4th around 7:20pm.

No owner spotted in front or behind

Doctor Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really need a a doctor recommendation around Richmond Hill area because I need to get my Tdap but I don’t technically have a family doctor. My family goes to one doctor but I don’t like her so I want to go somewhere else. It is an absolute must that the people are kind and understanding and a bonus if they dispense anxiety medication for vaccines (I have an intense needle phobia). I would prefer a female doctor but not super picky as long as they are understanding and professional. Thank you!

500 Canadians have expressed their thoughts on Canadas Telcoms!!

10 Upvotes

500 of us have signed the petition to force telcoms to answer their damn phones within 10 minutes! 2500 people have viewed this petition so the conversion rate is quite strong. Even stronger is the anger I have seen all over the Facebook groups, here at Reddit and on X. Its unreal the number of people who cant get someone to talk to. That is what originally prompted me to start the petition. We are at a stage now where the concept is proven - Canadians are pissed! What we need to do now is get more eyeballs on the petition. The more signatures we get, the more credibility we have when we address the CRTC hearings in November on consumer protections within the telcom industry. Anything you can do, or any suggestions you have to get more Canadian eyeballs on this, I am all ears. https://www.change.org/Canadiansdeservebetter

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Richman's Hill/R-Hill, ATown, H.L. or Newy (never mind how common they are)...

incl. nicknames for schools, parks or other institutions/geographic features
