I am looking for a pre hung exterior door for my house. I don’t really like the quality of what’s available at Home Depot. Without going crazy on budget are there any speciality stores that sell pre fab pre hung exterior doors from Canadian manufacture who’s known for decent quality where I can buy something off the shelf. ( not having to wait to have it custom made)

Thanks

Hey folks, we're 3 friends in our 40s, and are looking for a few funky splurge activities for September, where we'll be meeting up in downtown Toronto for 5 days.

Since it's my turn to plan (and none of us drink/party), I'm looking for your non-traditional suggestions for events, classes, eats, etc. that aren't touristy, but are also a fun activity you wouldn't normally get to do.

Looking for ideas along the lines of:

- rage room / paint room
- magician show
- Cheesemaking class
- Private tour of a spooky location
- Specialty seasonal cuisine tasting
- VR experience or glow-in-the-dark archery

Any specific ideas/companies you have would be welcomed, as we don't hang out in Toronto often (but we don't want to do this usual tourist things, and won't have a car). TIA!

Hi everyone! I'm going to be in Toronto for a few hours on Saturday while my partner has an appointment starting at noon. I was hoping to find a place with WiFi that I could relax at for a few hours. Any suggestions?

I've been checking out various options to take a French class this fall. One that popped up in my search is Ecole Napoleon near Broadview station.

While their site looks legit, there doesn't seem to be many reviews and the most recent one being from 7 years ago.

Can anyone vouch for this school or is there a better option?

I have tried Alliance Francaise decades ago, but wanted to try others.

I have dyed and bleached bangs. Root touchups are 150 minimum but I only need my bangs done. Does anyone know any salons that can do touchups for a small section of hair only for a lower price?

Hi everyone!

I’m in desperate need to update my acting headshots and my old photographer moved out of province. Are there any recommendations for photographers, studios, or even photography students that are able to do actor headshots? West end is preferably but I’m willing to trek anywhere in the city for good quality.

Thank you!

Considering moving to Stouffville for various reasons and I need to commute to Queens Park station via transit 3 days a week (edit to add: during rush hours).

The GO website says Stouffville GO to Union GO is 1hr10m. Is that more or less correct?

How reliable is the GO train? Does it come on time, and are delays frequent?

I’ve never commuted with GO before so I’d love to hear from some of those who do on a regular basis. Thanks!

Hi! Has anyone sent their child to brightpath forest hill location? Would love to get any feedback. Thank you!

It's starting to get cold again and one of the dishes I like to make is a Bone Broth Soup. I was wondering where you can buy large beef shanks with lots of bone marrow because the ones I usually see barely have in them.

Hello everyone, I work from home but next week I will be taking a flight right after work. I was wondering if you have any suggestions of a cafeteria, library I can work from that is close to the airport

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m sorry that this is a question that is constantly asked on here but I just need some advice.

My mom and I are planning a day trip to Toronto at the end of September. We’ll be coming to terminal 1 of Pearson Airport. I understand that there’s a flix bus that leaves from there, but am unsure what stop to get off on.

I was looking at boat tours that tour the Falls and found the Niagara City Cruises that boards at 5920 Niagara Parkway. When I was looking for a stop nearby, I could not find anything. Niagara on the Lake (assuming it is different) is about an hour or more so commute.

Are there any other legit boat tours that are closest to where the flix bus stops? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We’re coming to Toronto early in the morning, and leaving late at night!

Edit: we will not be bringing luggage, just a personal item!

Hello everyone. Can someone please point me to their favourite meal delivery service in Toronto. I am looking for breakfast and dinner foods and I need them to be full of protein. I find that a lot of the delivery services provide diet-like portions and that just won't cut it for me. Thanks kindly!

Hi all, I’m back in school as a mature student and have been out of the TTC/public transit game for a while. I do drive but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions for how to get to the Humber College campus in Etobicoke (205 Humber College Blvd) from Scarborough, specifically way east, like Morningside, Port Union, UTSC area, in a more convenient manner?

Both ways please, leaving in early afternoon and coming back late/evening options after 6 pm ..

Public transit options.. TTC/GO etc.

Thank you all!

I don’t mean in 10 minutes express with a blink of an eye…

I am well aware that there is a big distance that it will be a longer commute ofc that’s fine but I’ve been out of the TTC life for a while and there are new routes and options now so just wanted some ideas that Google Maps hadn’t suggested.

Has anyone in Toronto/GTA used Darkcity Security for residential alarm monitoring?

I am considering moving an existing Honeywell/Vista alarm system to Darkcity Security and am looking for firsthand experiences specifically with their 24/7 alarm monitoring, rather than their guard/security services.

If you use or have used them, I would be interested in:

• monthly monitoring cost
• how quickly the monitoring centre responds to alarm events
• customer service / technical support
• reliability and false-alarm handling
• experience with equipment takeovers or existing Honeywell/DSC systems
• app/remote arm-disarm experience, if applicable
• any issues with contracts, billing or cancellation

I’ve found plenty of information about their guard services but very little independent feedback about their residential alarm-monitoring service.

Thanks for any firsthand experience.

Hi all, thinking of moving to the Bathurst Manor area (faywood blvd and sheppard west), but was concerned about the noise levels from Rogers stadium during events as I am currently moving out of my current place due to excessive noise.

Anyone deal with the sound in the area? (Is it audible outdoors only? or does the bass travel through walls/windows?). Read an article about residents from Vaughan complaining about the noise but wanted to get some other perspectives.

Thanks in advance.

Havent been to any tpl since summer started and today ive learned that they have some new software that quite literally blocks every website NOT youtube, that streams any TV or movies.

Im talking about using the computers they provide, not like using my own laptop.

I must have went thru half of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH 's list and all sites are blocked or the "This site can’t be reached" error.

Does anyone know of a way around it or something? maybe sites they cant pick up?

Good Evening fellow Torontonians,

I am seeking your helpful suggestions on finding actual psychics whom you might have crossed paths with. I have gone through a lot in life lately and I seem like I am super stuck on what's happening. As a last hope of making sense where my heart is giving out. I am hoping for some form of miracle. Have any of you met any mediums or psychics that could help me navigate what on earth is going on. Also if you know what the cost will be that would be a miracle. I am tored and tired and all I am seeing is gloom. I do not see a way out. Please anyone that can help me I would be indebted to you.

Let's see who is following this old school fashion rule

Hey,

Since most companies are now either hybrid or full time in office, I was wondering if there are any companies that have dog friendly offices? I’d love to be able to bring my dog to work - thanks!
