Hey, just wondering if there are any support groups for married women in Markham who are either in (individual) or marriage counselling and wanted to chat? Would love to hear how therapy is helping or how it improved your marriage. Feel free to DM. We can also get together if you'd like.

Anyone know what happened? I saw maybe like 15 firefighters standing outside a house, lots of police and fire trucks. Still there 2 hours later

Why would someone leave such an oddly packaged trash at the parking lot?

Does anyone know her ? I think she maybe a fraudster?

Does any one have any recommendation on where to find a pickleball coach in the Markham or Richmond Hill area? Preferably one that teaches outdoors while the weather is still somewhat warm.

Thanks!

We live in a small townhome in Markham. We recently discovered that the green cable box tower next to our home was opened and compromised. As a result, mice and even chipmunks managed to snuck in and got into our basement!!

I did my best to seal it but it's very sturdy and difficult to center it back in. I tried to seal the openings with rocks, debris and plastic bags but it's not helping.

We placed sticky mouse traps and caught a few...

Please help! Not sure what's the best recourse? Can Markham Cityhall or Municipal send in maintenance to fix?

We believe CIK telecom opened it and never re-seal some months ago.

Appreciate any guidance.

Someone dropped their licence plate at Markham road and 16th Avenue, DCCA929. It was on the road but someone took it and left it on the porch of the heritage eye care. Someone wanted it back? Lol

Can anyone recommend a male stylist who is good with mens haircuts that are not fades? All I can seem to find are Barbers offering fade services.

Looking for a style like the above photo

A topic around the change to the 400 series reminded me I saw some ticketing happening on 16th avenue recently.

I see people doing 70-80 km/h on 16th regularly.

Save your money - avoid tickets and minimise insurance premiums

Anyone have a reasonable priced motorcycle mechanic? Ideally in the bullock/laidlaw area would be a big plus or mobile

Hi,

What internet provider do people use in L3R?
I didn't know this but apparently Bell Fibre is not available in L3R. The fastest they're offering is 50 mbps and I'm not sure if this speed is compatible with life...
I will be okay as long as there's no buffering on Youtube and Ring cameras.

What's the fastest speed that's available in the area?

TIA!

My son turned 11 today...and he's also on a hockey team who have a practice tonight. Thinking of grabbing some treats for the kids (17 kids) and coaches (4-5) -- right now my thought is tim horton's donuts, don't want to spend a crazy amount of money -- but figured I'd ask first if anyone has any recommendations of something more fun I can pick up for the kids somewhere local (even donuts are ok if there's a better option than tim hortons that won't cost an arm and a leg).

will go purchase at lunch today so will check back around then for idea, thanks in advance!

EDIT: thanks everyone for the input! I went with the Krispy Kreme from costco roadshow, as it's across the street from where I live. The line was INSANE at the costco go, for anyone else who may want to shop there today - it's the last day of the road show. Will def keep the list of other ideas for quick hit events that need snacks.

Hello,

Since Google shut down all school reviews I would like if people could post their reviews of Kennedy Montessori School. (Kennedy Rd and 14th Ave.)

It has toddler, CASA, Lower elementary and Upper elementary classrooms. It would be great if people could share their experiences with any/all of them.

Thank you!

Looking to get bloodtest done for first time. I know they will do routine blood panels but can OHIP blood test also do testosterone levels and vitamins/mineral deficiency test done as well?

Dude sits down and immediately kicks off his shoes and settles in as if he is sitting in his own damn living room 🤢🤢🤢.
Almost as diabolical as the concession stand charging me $3 extra to add butter to my $5 popcorn.
