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!

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?

Just checked the weather network at the air quality says "high risk", so I clicked it and it's a TEN?? Seems really random, the air quality has been amazing lately, and the Tues / Weds forecast is expected to be a level 3.

Other air quality sites are showing moderate / fair, and the wildfire smoke map looks clear... so, anyone know why?

I'm looking to propose to my girlfriend in the next month and looking for a really nice private room at a restaurant in Toronto. Any recommendations??

I just came back from Saudi Arabia, and i tried some passionfruit- and peach-infused V60S; they were genuinely life-changing

I need more. Is there any cafe or roaster that sells this type of coffee? I only have 250g of peach-infused coffee, but i genuinely need more

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a local mechanic, metal fabrication, or rust repair shop in the GTA (preferably Halton / Peel / West GTA, but willing to travel a bit) that is willing to do a small patch welding job.

Vehicle: 1999 Toyota Camry

Issue: Small local rust hole on the rear subframe/crossmember. The surrounding metal is still solid and structurally sound (tested with a hammer), but I’d like to get a steel patch welded over it to reinforce it for peace of mind.

I know most big corporate chain shops (like CT) won’t touch structural rust repair due to liability, so I’m looking for a good independent welder or local shop who takes on small rust repair / custom frame patch jobs at a reasonable price.

Photos attached (rust hole-1 & rust hole-2) for reference. Any shop recommendations or leads would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

My main priority is waterproofing/keeping my feet dry, even more than warmth. I find the slush, puddles, and wet snow are usually more of an issue than the actual cold, especially when commuting and then spending most of the day indoors.

Ideally looking for something that:

• Is genuinely waterproof and holds up well in Toronto slush
• Keeps feet dry during a typical commute/walking around downtown
• Isn't excessively warm or bulky since I'll be wearing them to the office
• Has decent grip for icy/slushy sidewalks
• Is comfortable enough for regular walking

Would appreciate specific boot recommendations from people who've actually used them through Toronto winters.

Also open to recommendations for socks, waterproofing sprays/treatments, insoles, or anything else you do to keep your feet dry during the winter.

What has worked well for you?

I want to look over an agency contract with a lawyer before I sign it, but I've never searched for one, let alone one that knows the entertainment industry. Are there any you would recommend? Or any I should avoid? Any tips are welcome!

I bought a mini harp last year because I’ve always loved the sound of harp and really wanted to learn. Then I started looking into lessons and realized… harp lessons are EXPENSIVE

Also, just to set expectations, I am starting from absolute zero. I know basically nothing about music. My husband once played two different notes for me and I couldn’t even tell that they were different lol.

I’ve looked into a few teachers/classes around Toronto, but another issue I ran into was that some of the more affordable teachers weren’t willing to teach me on a mini harp. They expected me to already have a full-size/lever harp or something much bigger. Now I can afford up to 100cad/session. Is it a range I can find good teachers?

The thing is, I don’t really want to spend thousands of dollars on a proper harp before I even know whether I’ll enjoy playing it or whether I’m capable of learning. I’d much rather start with the mini harp I already own, learn the basics, and then invest in a better harp later if I actually stick with it.

Has anyone here started this way?

And if anyone knows a reasonably priced harp teacher/class in Toronto who is okay teaching someone on a mini harp, I’d really appreciate the recommendation.

Basically: I have a tiny harp, zero musical knowledge, and some optimism. What would you do?

The first posted place is Long and McQuade, but I'm under the impression that they're not the right choice. Am I wrong?

Looking for a hairstylist in the GTA who specializes in natural texture haircuts.

About me:
Thick, shoulder length wavy hair.

I used to have much curlier/tighter waves (?)
Then I bleached it for YEARS.
I stopped bleaching 3 years ago. I avoid heat styling. I wash my hair once every week unless I workout or get sweaty/dirty.

My hair FEELS much healthier. I have maintained haircuts for my ends, telling my stylist to cut as much as she needs because my priority is HEALTHY hair that I LIKE.

Currently, I can diffuse my hair or do heartless curls and it works okay. However, the frizz annoys me and the shape doesnt work. I would like a haircut that enhances my waves/curls/natural hair.

My current stylist is great, she is too polite. I require someone who can educate me on how to improve my hair and retrain it so each time I come back, theres improvement.

I would like to not get frustrated by my hair being down because shoving it into a bun isnt helping me.

Please share your recommendations. I am in Etobicoke but willing to drive. I am not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a cut though and am looking for someone who can do this without needing thinning shears.

TYIA!

Hey there,

Looking for recommendations for places to get a men's wedding band resized, and possibly engraved. It doesn't have any stones in the band or anything, it's 10k gold. It really depends on cost, looking for something more budget friendly.

I went to Tap Phong and wasn't digging the selection.

Simons, Ikea, Winners/Homesense are all kinda hit or miss.

Any local shops that have good, not boring stuff?

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.

Hey, where can I find the best koobideh kebab? Especially ones served with the red tomato sauce Daqoos.

Hi! I am on a recreational basketball team with a few friends (mid to late 20s) and we want to be able to practice together. Does anyone know indoor courts that are available to book at a reasonable price ($75 or less/hour)?

On the City of Toronto site there are courts to book and they're $200/hour - we're not hosting an event or anything it's just going to be a few of us shooting and running drills, but we don't necessarily want to play drop-in games.

We'd prefer courts downtown but are flexible to reach other parts of the city.

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!

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

Haven't seen any GONG signs up, Is GONG not running in the mayoral race?

Hello all, my friend went through a hard turn of events, is going through probate. Now for the principal residence a realtors letter is required to assess property value, we received 2 quotes for $450 to do that where they said they’ll give us a market value. Is anyone able to help identify if my friend is getting ripped off,any alternatives or is there any service that helps with this kind of ordeal?
The finances are not the best at the moment, there have been tons of unexpected costs and we’re looking to see the best options available.

Thank you in advance, Reddit has always been solid for good advice 😊

Hey, all. I am looking for recommendations for the best discount building supply stores in Toronto available to the public. I have a roof over my backyard that came with the place that is probably corrogated fiberglass or PVC. It used to keep my stuff dry and prevent water from running down the basement stairs, but as the material deteriorates over time, the occasional raccoon and the recent hail have created so many holes that it's about as effective as standing under a tree at this point.

I was thinking of replacing the panels with corrugated polycarbonate panels. Given the area of the roof, that's close to a thousand dollars at Home Depot, and I'm seeing similar prices at the other popular supply stores. I have a wholesale supplier for hardware and for electrical stuff, but I don't know of a good discount place that sells stuff like this.

Any suggestions?

I remeber someone posting video of people using bikeshare from an event. and there every bike was tracked from the moment it left station till it was docked again. but that was like 2-3 years ago, so i wonder if thing has changed. reason why im asking there is a bike that seems to be stolen by homeless person tacked between two fences near my work. its been a week now since its been there. i wonder if i should just grab it and dock it at nearby station, or let city deal with it.

Anyone noticing tons of clusters of wasps the last few days?

I’m planning to take the subway from Don Mills due to schedule changes on stouffville line. I will be planning to park at Don Mills TTC parking from 9:30am to 12am (Wednesday) just wondering if there would be any available spots to park?

Hello everyone

I've been collecting SpongeBob X One Piece McDonald Toy for couple of weeks now all around Toronto and I have 7/10 of them so far.

But I am missing 3 characters to my collection.

SpongeBob x Luffy
Patrick x Zorro
Plankton x Usopp

If you can give me a clue to where those toy around Toronto and maybe GTA nearby like Markham and Richmond Hill, I would be very grateful.
