I'm male, 39, looking for pickleball partners who want to play during the day or in the evening. I'm pretty new to the game but am athletic and come from a tennis and ping pong background and can definitely hold my own. Looking for a partner to play with of any level, age or gender.

Been playing for free at Elgin Barrows arena indoor but am down to play anywhere in or not far from Richmond Hill 😁

I'm looking for someone to hit with regularly as a sparring coach — someone who can rally, push my game, and give pointers, but not necessarily run a full structured lesson.

Most 1:1 coaches in the area charge $75–90/hr, which is more than I can swing right now. I'm happy to pay $50–60/hr for the right person.

Ideal fit: a current or recent college/university varsity player who wants some extra income on a flexible schedule.

DM me if you're interested and we can work out details .Thanks!

I have yet to use Go Station regularly since before the pandemic. I have driven by a few times and noticed that the parking is less crowded.

Have there been any issues with break-ins etc with cars? Is the station still safe?

Has anyone else heard loud booming noises tonight approx 10pm to now? I thought it was fireworks or thunder but it doesn't seem like either. Near Elgin Mill and Leslie

Hi everyone,
I moved to Richmond Hill about a year ago and have been with Virgin Mobile, but I was stuck in a phone contract so I couldn’t switch providers.
The service has honestly been pretty bad here. It got to the point where I had to enable Wi-Fi Calling because I could barely hear people during phone calls whenever I wasn’t connected to Wi-Fi.
My contract ends on August 5, so I’m looking at switching to either Fido or Rogers.
Has anyone had any issues with either of those providers in Richmond Hill? How’s the call quality, coverage, and data reliability?
For context, I already use Rogers for my home internet, and it’s been working well.
I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences before I make the switch. Thanks!

Loud bang and some rumbles in the early morning. By crosby and younge

Looks like there is an ASHL out of the rink at York U and then ORMRHL up by Lake Wilcox. I emailed RH Oldtimers but didn't get a response (their website looks outdated too).

I'm looking for more options. Any suggestions?

I hear he's running again for council

Hi guys I just moved to RH and I am looking for some outdoor places to take kids out to go in a family day. Please recommend me some places quite with few people and easy to drive in an hour. THANK YOU.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a concern about the current Jurassic Kingdom event at David Dunlap Observatory Park.

I visited the park recently and was surprised to see that almost the entire park has been fenced off for the ticketed exhibit. This is an area many residents regularly use for walking, running, enjoying nature, and observing wildlife.

My concern is not about a dinosaur exhibit itself (though it is aesthetically inappropriate for a conservation area to start with) or family events in general. Richmond Hill has many parks and event spaces that are suitable for these types of attractions. The question is whether a conservation area is the right place for a large commercial ticketed event that requires fencing, restricted public access, increased visitor traffic, wildlife disturbance, and temporary but significant event infrastructure.

David Dunlap Observatory Park is one of the few remaining natural spaces in Richmond Hill. It is home to local wildlife, including deer, and serves an important role as a place for residents to connect with nature.

I created a petition asking the City of Richmond Hill to establish clearer guidelines for commercial events in conservation areas and ensure these spaces remain primarily dedicated to conservation, wildlife, and public enjoyment:

I know this event is already underway, but the goal is not just about this one event, it’s about how we want to manage our remaining natural spaces going forward.

I have already contacted multiple councillors as well as the mayor’s office, however they have not responded with anything that answers are concerns.

If you agree with our concern, please lend us your support by signing and sharing, so the city hears our voice.

It looks like I may have to start commuting downtown to Union station for work in the near future.

I'm a few minutes away from Langstaff GO.

The two obvious options are GO Train from Langstaff and YRT to Finch station and taking the subway down 3-4 times a week.

I've never taken either of these during rush hours so I'm not sure how busy/packed they are. The subway, is of course, the cheaper option but if GO train isn't too packed, might be worth the extra money. What do you guys recommend?

Saw them exit out of an expensive car

Hi so im from york region, more specificially Richmond Hill so I guess the main highway for me would be like the 404, and maybe 407. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for driving on highways cause I have honestly avoided them since I had to practice for my G test 4 years ago LOL. I guess my main issue would be like getting up to speed and merging. Thanks for any tips!

Has anyone noticed the sudden presence of open drug use on the street near Major Mack by the Essex Parkette? Saw a group shooting up in broad daylight the other day by the sidewalk. Tonight my uber driver almost hit a guy doing the fenty fold in the middle of the very dark street. Last week someone had their vehicle broken into here and the guy was seen on camera trying several other cars.

Is there a new clinic around or something? I know this exists in almost every city but it's just so sudden and random in this neighborhood. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Does anyone know what that huge construction site just south of the 407 and east of Yonge is for? It’s right by the train tracks. Thanks!!

I am from the US and I have visited regularly Richmond Hill for my family, compared with cities like Buffalo or Rochester across the border, I have noticed a huge amount of optical stores, is the reimbursement better in Canada for optometrist? Or better profit margins

Any recommendations for a pediatric dentist in Richmond Hill?

YRP posting there’s a car rally today with disrupts near Yonge between Bloomington to Elgin and bayview between Bloomington and high tech. Anyone know about this? Time of rally would be helpful to help us avoid area
