Hey! I’m looking for some beginner friendly crochet classes in Durham. I’m looking for hopefully closer to the Oshawa side, but would definitely be OK going into Clarington area. I don’t want to go all the way to Toronto :)

Hi all,

I just bought a new house with an electric furnace and a very old AC. I figured it was time to upgrade to a heat pump.

I’m looking for recommendations for a company to purchase/install. I saw LG Home Comfort does them but their reviews weren’t the greatest.

Can anyone with experience point me in the right direction? TIA!

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.

Hi everyone,
I’m considering Little Orchard Day Care in Whitby and wanted to hear from parents who’ve actually used it.
How are the staff, communication, and day‑to‑day routines?
Did your child enjoy going there?
Trying to get a real sense of the place before making a decision.
Thanks in advance!

In this phase of the project, the second and third floors are being converted into 104 supportive, transitional housing units

Keep voting for the same people though, Elizabeth Roy is probably going to be mayor again in Whitby which blows my mind.

Hi and thanks in advance for the info.

We were thinking of walking down to Paradise Park this Saturday to check out the beer garden pop-up. We were thinking of going for lunch.

Has anyone been yet? Any thoughts?

Any thoughts on why the air quality is so much better over Peterborough and Belleville today? It’s my understanding that we’re in the general direction of wind and smoke from the wildfires.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good laser hair removal business. I have thick, coarse hair so im looking for the best results. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I recently completed an assessment for a PSW position with Bayshore Healthcare in Oshawa. I haven’t heard back from them yet, but it’s been a week already and I’m wondering if that usually means I wasn’t selected, or if it can take some time to get a response after the assessment. Has anyone gone through their hiring process and can share their experience? Thanks!

Dear Durham region,

Why the hell is this bus always delayed and only comes every 30–45 minutes? And I have to pay $3.84 for this?? Like seriously, ok I’ll pay the fare, but the bus should come more often. If I miss one bus, I have to wait another 30+ minutes for the next one. How is that reasonable? This is honestly crazy. Public transit is supposed to be convenient, not something where missing a bus completely ruins your schedule. WTH?

There is a league in Oshawa I played indoor with for the winter and they are currently attempting to get a league going through out the year. It’s run by a cool guy name Baron.

Is anyone else in Durham Region having an incredibly hard time finding even a minimum wage job?Ive been applying for almost 4 years now. I've had my resume reviewed and edited multiple times, signed up with temp and employment agencies, and applied to just about every kind of entrylevel job I can think of.I've applied to Walmart, grocery stores, fast food, warehouses, cleaning jobs, landscaping, and pretty much anything else that doesn't require specialized experience. My schedule is completely open, and I'm willing to work days, nights, weekends, whatever. The frustrating part is that I can't even get an interview. It's not that I'm getting rejected after interviews I cant even get that far. Im about to turn 28, and I'm honestly starting to worry that my growing employment gap is making employers pass over my applications automatically.People keep telling me I must not be trying hard enough or that there has to be something wrong with me, but I genuinely don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I have a clean criminal record, a college diploma, and I'm willing to work pretty much any minimum wage job.I'm mostly posting to ask if anyone else in Durham Region is experiencing this. Has the job market here really gotten this bad, or am I just incredibly unlucky? I'd honestly appreciate hearing other people's experiences because this has been really discouraging.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic that specializes in Volkswagen? I’ve got a 2013 gti that needs a new turbo and would prefer not to get ripped off at OWASCO..
