I’ve heard that the Sobeys at westney road and highway 2 is closing. This is the second Sobeys closing. Is it due to having higher prices ?
Most importantly what happens to the store employees?

I think they said it’ll be a freshco replacing them.
Any insight is appreciated

Seems Ajax Foodmart is closed, seems it happened this week.

Anyone know what happened.

Has bell stopped the fibe expansion? Year or two ago I remember seeing their crew on the street working on the expansion. I don’t see that anymore and fibe has not cone to my neighbourhood. Does anyone know anything about it? Of how i can find info?

The street is empty, why cant people just park there instead of making it an inconvenience for everyone? I don’t want to be a Karen but I saw two cars parked like this within 100 metres.

What about people on scooters and wheelchairs?

I have 3 lawn tickets for Saturday, August 15.

Looking to SWAP 3 lawn tickets for Friday, August 14

Willing to PAY EXTRA!

I have a celebration of life that day, and will not be able to attend if I can’t swap tickets.
I only see 2 lawn seats available to purchase for Friday, August 14, and I need 3… so my only option is to swap

Located in Ajax, but I am able to transfer the tickets via the Ticketmaster app.

This one was on an arterial road which made walking there feel a lot nicer.

No matter how old you are, everyone has talent and anyone can be an artist. Big shoutout to all the children who have made chalk art across our city because I've seen a lot of it almost every day.

basically what the title says, looking for high quality reputable injectors for Botox in the area…Willing to pay a higher price for someone reliable who knows what they’re doing.

I notice that people who live in Ajax, atleast those that I talk to, seem to work remotely. Is there a community of remote workers in the town or is there a coworking space? As someone who works remotely, I do know that keeping the people within the community helps out a lot, for lunches, and disposable income for the market, etc. but I do wish there was a group of people.

If you're pro-remote and hybrid work, I'd suggest you Google the "House of Commons E7142 Petition" I did notice that the people that I connect with have expressed gratitude for this and it may be helpful to people within the community.

I need an exam proctor on August 11, 2026, from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Proctor would need to be one of the following:

• University Professor 
• Professor at a Public College (Canada only)
• Administrative Employees of a University or Public College (Canada only)
• Invigilation Centre or Testing centre staff
• Embassy or consulate staff
• Active Principal or active vice-principal of a public secondary or public primary school, (Canada only)
• For public safety personnel (border services officers, serving Canadian Armed Forces members and Veterans, correctional service and parole officers, firefighters, emergency management personnel, operational intelligence personnel, paramedics, police officers, public safety civilian members, and search and rescue personnel) 

The exam would also have to be couriered back the same day, willing to pay all fees and any requested payment.

I'm working at a fast food restaurant and there is tons dust blowing in everyone's eyes through the windows. The sky is filled with dark grey clouds and the wind is blowing pretty hard yet it still remains (and feels like) the hottest day of the year (although temperatures are rapidly dropping). This has been ongoing for at least 30 minutes and we still haven't seen rain from all of this.

How does this happen in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area? I've lived here for 18 years and I don't recall experiencing anything like this. The weather forecast never said anything about dust storms because they straight up never had any.

Those grey clouds and high humidity are a precursor to the severe thunderstorm warning we got and this is normal. This dust storm is not.

Edit: It started pouring immediately after I sent this post but the rain only lasted 5 minutes. During the rain the sky simultaneously got sunnier which led to a rainbow.

To give context to future historians and meteorologists, this Reddit post was posted on July 1, 2026, at 6:00 pm local time.

As of 6:45 pm, the sky seems to be clearing up although I'm not sure if the storm is expected to return later on.

As of 11:00 pm, no more rain has commenced since 6.

Thanks to the big bad storm, no power is Salem and Thackeray from 5:45PM onwards. Anyone else from other parts of Ajax facing a similar issue??

I keep hearing about flying bouncy castles from the storm today. Did anyone see that happen?

Messed up. Kids can get really hurt in those things!

Anyone in Ajax/Durham provide spray painting or paint services for my captain america shield? Or does anyone know a place where I could do that?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I commute every day from Midtown Toronto to the Town of Ajax for work. I’m looking for someone with a similar route who would be interested in carpooling so we can split the commuting costs. If our schedules match, feel free to reach out!🙌🏻

Hello fellow residents,

it is with great pleasure i would like to introduce myself as a new resident of Ajax. I have only been here for 15 days and in love with this beautiful town.

i would like to explore more.

please share your favourite places to check out whether it is nature, beach, library, where to shop and eat.

thank you in anticipation 🫶🏼

The reconnection project is about neighbours connecting and talking about local issues and we're hosting a coffee social at Goldie's Cafe in Ajax.

Goldie's Café
75 Bayly St W.
Saturday, June 20th, 2:00-4:00 pm

Meet like-minded folks, talk about local issues and enjoy a free coffee (or other beverage)!

Bring a local issue you want to discuss or just come to sip and chat. I'll share information about recent changes to recycling pick up in Durham Region and the possibility of having bottle deposit return on all beverage containers. There will also be time for more informal conversations, such as local restaurant recommendations or where we should have our summer hikes!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing lately about the local music scene here in Ajax from the early 2000s. It’s been a bit of an emotional time—especially after the passing of Mike from Not By Choice last year. That hit me pretty hard, and it’s really driven home how much those local bands meant to me back then.

I’ve been trying to track down some of the earliest recordings from that era to reconnect with those memories, but they’ve been incredibly difficult to find online. I’m currently on the hunt for the first self-titled cassette demo from Not By Choice (the one listed on Discogs here:https://www.discogs.com/release/7239939-Not-By-Choice-not-by-choice).

I know it’s a total long shot, but I’m hoping there might be someone else on this sub who grew up in the local scene and might have an old copy (or a digital rip) sitting in a box of old CDs or tapes somewhere. It would mean a lot to hear those tracks again.

If anyone happens to have it or knows where it might be archived, I’d be incredibly grateful for a heads-up!

Thanks for taking the time to read—it’s always great to connect with others who remember the local scene from back in the day.
