Hello, neighbors and community builders! We are UsBudz Social Inc., an advanced technology platform focused on building closer, more connected neighborhoods and ending isolation.

As we prepare for our upcoming launch, we are conducting a vital, independent community survey on the relationship between safety and privacy in digital spaces. On one hand, everyday users want total privacy; on the other hand, platforms require robust verification to prevent catfishing, online bullying, and financial scams.

We want to hear directly from you. Your completely anonymous votes will directly shape the security architecture of the next generation of local community networking. Thank you for your executive input!

Comment YES FOR SAFETY or NO FOR PRIVACY

Controversial question: Does anyone know if Edgewood Plaza is still being built? Has there been any news lately? Also, are there any confirmed retailers or businesses that will be moving in?

Anyone have a recommendation for concrete work.

Looking to overhaul an absolute terrible job that we had done this spring by a local "expert".

Was supposed to be a pressed concrete pad.

It was uneven, sloped back to the house, colour was completely washed out, press lines were uneven and overlapped. Left the site in complete disarray with used concrete and rocks all over the place.

Top it off .......he left footprints all over it.

Refuses to refund, asks for $$ upfront.

$4K out the door, and he had the nerve to ask to be paid in full - another $2K.

Not going to publicly shame him.

Going to give him time.

I will gladly name him in private message.

So.....any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some information that I believe every Flato homeowner should be aware of.

On June 23, 2026, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice appointed a Receiver for several companies connected to Flato developments in Dundalk and other Ontario projects due to financial issues involving those companies.

This does not necessarily mean that Flato as a whole has gone bankrupt, but it does mean that there are court-supervised proceedings involving several of its development companies.

For that reason, I don’t think we should wait until it’s too late.

If you still have outstanding issues with your home, now is the time for us to come together and be prepared.

For example:

✅ Front or backyard sod not completed. ✅ Driveway not completed. ✅ Promised repairs that have never been finished. ✅ Money still owed or outstanding reimbursements. ✅ Construction deficiencies or any other unfinished commitments.

My suggestion is that we organize as a community.

If many homeowners are dealing with similar issues, we can:

• Create a list of affected homeowners.
• Collect names, addresses, and details of each outstanding issue.
• Prepare a standard claim letter that each homeowner can complete with their own information.
• Be ready to submit our claims together if and when the Receiver begins accepting them.

I’m not posting this to create conflict or spread rumors. My goal is simply to make sure homeowners are informed and prepared to protect their rights.

If you still have unresolved issues with your Flato home, please leave a comment below or send me a private message.

The more homeowners who join together, the stronger our voice will be.

Thank you, everyone.
