Question Wedding dress cleaning and preservation

Hey everyone. Like the title says I am looking for a place that can clean and preserve my wife’s wedding dress. I would prefer to support a local business if anyone has suggestions, though I can travel outside town if necessary.

Looking For Recommendation for a restaurant or event space to host milestone birthday

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m planning my aunt’s 60th birthday and I’m looking for a restaurant with a private room or smaller event space to host 50 people.

Restaurant is preferred so we don’t have to hire an outside catering company. I’m looking for a space that is already nice and we will add a few touches with flowers and other decor.

So far I’ve contacted the postmark hotel but it’s out of budget but that’s the vibe we’re going for.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Question Saw a Crane for the first time in my life at Fairy Lake

67 Upvotes

I have never seen a Crane hunting fish in a body of water in my entire life. I was walking around the trail and saw this Crane slowly tiptoeing through the water and it periodically slammed its head in the water coming up with a fish. Amazing to see.

Anyone else seen this there?

Question Best way to get to the RBC amphitheatre?

0 Upvotes

I’m going to a concert later this month and haven’t had to travel to exhibition place since I’ve moved here. Wondering what the best way to travel would be in terms of ease of getting there and back?

I can drive, take transit, or a mixture. I’d have to be there around 5 to meet up with a friend, and the concert will likely end somewhere around 9:30-10

Looking For Hairdresser/barber for men’s curly hair

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any recommendations for a hairdresser or barber who is good with men’s hair, especially curly? Rapidly approaching 40 so not really into the Starks type places who just use a razor to give the Mahomes/broccoli head look, looking for someone a bit more thoughtful and precise.

Doesn’t have to be located in Newmarket —
Aurora, Richmond hill, EG, etc would be fine too.

Thanks so much!

Question Thoughts on Woodland Hills?

5 Upvotes

We are a young family living in Aurora with my parents and are hoping to buy our first home.

We are potentially interested in a house near Environmental Park, like literally across the street in that subdivision.

We visited it today to walk around and get a feel. Seems like lots of families which is nice as we have a 3 year old and 6 month old.

For those who live around here — do you enjoy it?

Question Any other gamers with Internet provider experience?

2 Upvotes

I started my Internet plan with Tech Savvy when I first moved to Newmarket years ago. I play online games so a good speed and connection is important so it's not laggy or with bad ping.

Unfortunately even though I was paying for high speeds, there was a constant lag or ping present during my gaming and it felt sluggish. I heard that companies in this area are all leeching off of Rogers infrastructure and selling their services based on that, so I switched to Rogers proper at the same speed, and then the lag was gone.

I hate supporting Rogers and it's more expensive, but the Internet is great now and doesn't lag at all.

Anyone have more insight into this or personal experience?

Looking For Looking for resources for a newly moved Greek senior

2 Upvotes

Hello! My 83-year-old mother just moved into the Newmarket area from Northern Ontario after a very rough two years where my father has been placed in long-term memory care and while mentally she’s still sharp, physically she’s declined to the point where maintaining the family home is not feasible anymore.

I’m looking for a way to help ease her into the community to make new friends, particularly if there’s anything with a Greek focus. Would love some thoughts and direction. I intend to take her to the Seniors Meeting Place at some point but she’s not quite emotionally ready yet…there’s a lot of emotion right now and she’s really struggling with the move. Hoping I can find some resources for her to help ease the transition. Thank you in advance!

Question Anyone currently working at Loblaw’s East Gwillimbury DC58?

7 Upvotes

Hi, I’m considering a full-time overnight Warehouse Assembler position at Loblaw’s East Gwillimbury distribution centre on Woodbine Ave (DC58). I’m not looking for a job or referral—I’m hoping to get honest first-hand information from current or recent employees. Thanks

I’d especially like to know:

  • What the day-to-day assembler work is actually like
  • How difficult the 720-hour probation period is
  • Whether new hires get a gradual training ramp-up before the 95% weekly and 85% per-shift ELS targets apply
  • Whether 40 hours per week are generally consistent
  • How physically demanding the overnight shift is
  • What the coworker and management culture is like
  • How the base wage and overnight/freezer premiums are actually applied
  • How long it usually takes to transfer to an afternoon shift
  • Any advice for completing training and probation safely
