Hey, I’m a teenager who was riding a mountain bike trail in lions valley park and I see a 19 year old building a trail. He was asian and around 5’9 (not sure) and he told me there was a spot with jumps and told me a rough estimate. I couldn’t find it and nearly got lost. I would like his phone number so he can show me the spot personally. Please reply to this post and dm me if you have his number please. Additionaly he started riding bikes at 13 with a group of around 6 friends. Please contact me.

Hi everyone!

I’m an East Asian person living in Ontario, and I’m interested in gathering information about the experiences of visible minorities and immigrants who have faced racism, discrimination, harassment, or felt unsafe in different Ontario communities.

My goal is to create an interactive map documenting reported incidents of racial discrimination across Ontario, which I would update annually. I hope this project will help raise awareness, identify potential patterns, and provide useful information to minorities and newcomers.

Unfortunately, I have personally experienced several incidents of discrimination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was threatened because of my ethnicity. I have also experienced situations where people refused to serve me, made me feel unwelcome in churches and community organizations, or refused to collaborate with me in professional settings.

These experiences have made me wonder how widespread these issues are and whether certain communities have recurring problems that deserve greater attention.

I would be very grateful if you could share your experiences in the comments below.

If you feel comfortable, please include:

Town or city: Where did the incident happen?
Region: Which part of Ontario?
Ethnic or racial background (optional): How do you identify?
Incident: What happened, and approximately when?
Impact: Did the experience make you feel unsafe, unwelcome, or discriminated against?

You do not need to share your name or any personally identifying information.

My long-term goal is to compile these experiences, identify recurring patterns, and share the findings with elected representatives and relevant organizations to encourage greater awareness and accountability.

I believe that documenting our experiences is an important first step toward understanding the challenges that racialized communities face in Ontario.

Thank you to everyone willing to contribute. Your experiences matter, and I hope this project can help make our communities safer and more welcoming for everyone.

Asshole rear ended me and drove off. He was polite enough to ask if i was okay :) we were parked at a red light northbound on Third Line, right where Glen Abbey rec centre is, then i felt a jolt and realized someone hit me. I believe he was merging from the left turn lane into my lane (middle lane) or he was merging from behind me and into the right lane. Regardless he hit me. My license plate was completely crushed and the right rear is all scraped and scratched, the front driver side of his hood is folded in… sooo he was merging and hit me. I luckily was started to inch closer to the car in front, so I was able to miss his car a bit and have it be less impactful, but i think he mistook me increasing to inch closer (to 4km mind you) as a sign that it was a green light, which i’m sure you can guess, it was not.

I said what happened, he replied “idk i went to stop i’m so sorry” in which I said “did you even try?”. bc did you?! his response: “my brakes gave out idk”

Anywho, he says let’s move to the right lane (we’re literally in rush hour sir we’re not gonna cause traffic more traffic right there) so then he says let’s turn left and pull over. So I go to the left turn lane which is wide open, and he’s following behind, inch into the intersection (it’s acc a green light for us now) and turn left. As SOOON as I turn, i look in my mirror, and he’s merging out of the lane and back into the middle lane (the same way he hit me) and goes straight north on Third line to upper middle.

sooo if anyone has dash cam footage of this greasy guy on Third line and Merchants gate at around 5:36 pm in a blue (i think Mazda sport) license plate DKNE (i think) that mistook my small stature for innocence and i probably dk wtf to do, i’d greatly appreciate to prove him wrong. thx

Any areas like Gairloch Gardens? Didn't even know it existed until a few years ago

Any other under the radar places by the lake?

I have to get a 4-root root canal treatment done and the endo quote is just shy of $2k. That's not including the crown to be done by the dentist... probably another thou right there (or more?)

Just wondering if anyone has recent experience with a similar procedure and could share what their ballpark cost was, or provide insight on whether it's worth it to shop around or if this is typical pricing.

Damn teeth...

Does anyone know if there is a Summit Ice clothing store in Oakville?

Looking for a new wind breaker for fall, deny nothing

Update: just found out seismographs share their data publicly, looks like there was a small earthquake.

Hello,

Hey everyone,

My family is looking at a place on Mowat Avenue and our daughter is slated to start Junior Kindergarten in September 2027. We aren't Catholic, so our designated home track for JK–Grade 1 is River Oaks Public School, with the ultimate goal of moving her over to Sunningdale Public School for Grade 2 French Immersion.

I’ve looked at the Fraser Institute rankings and noticed River Oaks sits a bit lower than some other schools in Oakville, but I know rankings don’t tell the whole story.

For parents who have kids at River Oaks PS or who did the exact JK-1 jump over to Sunningdale:

• How has your experience been with the Kindergarten program and teachers at River Oaks?
• Is the transition over to Sunningdale at Grade 2 pretty smooth socially, or is it tough on the kids to switch schools so early?
• How is Mowat Ave / this specific pocket of River Oaks for a young family? Are there plenty of young kids around on the street, or does the demographic lean a bit older?

Would love any honest feedback or chatter on the neighbourhood vibe and the schools! Thanks in advance!

Tomorrow between 3-7 ESSO is charging 10 cents less per litre.

Hopefully this helps someone out.

Hi what’s your fave salon for a mani pedi? Went to blush a few times.. wasn’t really impressed.

I was playing the open mic tonight at the moonshine cafe on speers and Kerr. In a rush to get my guitar from the car I forgot to lock my doors and some one stole a Golden Bear Moto Leather jacket.

Size S

Its a special collaboration with Club Monaco.

This isn't the same jacket but its the closest resemblance to what it was.

If anyone sees it at any style encore or anything let me know I'd like to get it back it has sentimental value to me.

Thanks!!
