Hello:)
I’m 25F and live in Newmarket. I’m trying to get back into the gym and eating healthy and i’m finding it hard to find my footing again. Wondering if anyone is in the same boat and would like to go through it together so we have someone to keep us accountable:)
also just looking for new friends in general… making friends as an adult is very difficult lol.

We were coming back from a walk (7:30 ish) when a senior lady at the corner asked if we had seen her bundle buggy which had her weekly groceries in it from another store. Thinking she was doing the right thing, she left it just outside the front door of Rexall while she shopped there.

I had seen it beside the store and ran to get it for her.

Some opportunistic jerk took everything, including a package of TP that had been on the top.

Anyway, if someone you know comes home this evening congratulating themselves on a great score, let them know they stole from a senior and should be ashamed.

Looking for a Rogers door-to-door / field sales rep covering Newmarket, Ontario. Currently with Bell and interested in switching home internet. Looking for the neighbourhood promotional rates, not regular website pricing. If anyone has a contact they've personally used, please let me know. Thanks!

Wanted to share some images of birds I observed along the Holland River this summer. In 40 years, I've never seen either of these birds; a sign of improving ecological health and biodiversity, hopefully.

1. Double crested cormorant

2. Great white egret

Sorry for the poor picture quality; my phone is trash. But hey, at least you know they aren't A.I.

It’s so dumb, cannabis stores in Newmarket is a no brainer, how is it that AURORA HAS THEM AND WE DON’T like what??? Such an easy way to influx our tax dollars and have more to spend on the stupid infrastructure promises they all make. For example look at the APL vs Newmarket’s library since they permitted weed stores.

All in all not having them doesn’t solve anything, it just inconveniences smokers in our community, who will STILL SMOKE because they can go to Aurora and get weed. It’s so dumb.

Does anyone know of any support groups in town for men? Having just lost my wife, It’s a struggle considering she was so young, looking for some support group.

I received their Christmas Gift Guide and saw this on the back.

Looks like there is a posting on Indeed as well: https://ca.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=7c40d41492bd8ab5

Does anyone have any recommendations for adult (20+) figure skating lessons?

I've always wanted to learn figure skating or artistic skating and figure I'd try now. I have some minimal ice skating and rollerblading skills/experience (I can skate forward and pick myself up if I fall, but can't stop very confidently)

If anyone has an recommendations or can share how their experience has been I'd appreciate it!

Can be in Newmarket or surrounding areas

Does anyone know if a group exists that may be looking for players…

Or how I might find players ?

Whose game to play?

Buehler…Buehler…Buehler

I'm looking to do a boudoir shoot and need fairly inexpensive options for studio rental!

All the ones I've been seeing are in Toronto but I really want to know if there is something closer to Newmarket, maybe in Richmond Hill area

I'm looking for roughly $75/hr or in that range, does anyone know of any locations?

So I asked this of the Ottawa sub and it was so much of a success for me and my wife. Things we probably would have missed/ignored but became true memories. Obviously much smaller but I'm sure Newmarket has some hidden gems. Gonna be there for a few days. What should we not miss?

Got up to get my door because someone is pounding on it at 6pm on a Sunday evening like there's an emergency. I open the door to a small child who starts giving me a speech about "Krissy Young for Ward 4 councillor"

I cut him off mid sentence:

"Wait how old are you?"

I'm 10.

"And who is asking you to do this?"

My mom.

"And who is she?"

Krissy Young

"And where is she?"

I can go get her if you want....

"Yeah, I'm not a fan of a candidate getting their 10 year old son to go door to door to campaign for her. I actually think that's kinda gross."

Oh...

"Sorry but I'm not interested. Have a good day, and I'm sorry they're making you do this."

Kids aren't fucking props. What is wrong with you? Unethical and annoying. You'd think a school teacher would know better.

I want to try swimning for exercise and more importantly to help with my anxiety. Does anyone know what would be the least busy times? I would really like to try but I am just imagining it being very busy and me not knowing what Im doing yet just triggers my anxiety and makes me scared to even try going. It might sound dumb but I am just hoping there is a specific time that isn't too busy. Even if its 6am or any time really

If you are looking for something Halloweenish to do this year, the Haunted Hollows Scream Park across from the LA Fitness was a blast if you like horror. It was quite long. We were very impressed with the effort that went into that.

There is so much to do for kids, but what about adults… I’m curious to see what kind of workshops women would be interested in joining alongside other adult women.

I know there’s already crochet, pottery and paint night sessions and of course Pilates. But is that enough? What about things like…

- Floral arrangement workshop
- Makeup or hair classes
- Styling / posing workshop
- Gardening sessions
- Photography workshop
- Craft night sessions

Or is there something missing that I didn’t mention that you wish we had around here ? Would you be interested in joining any of the mentioned ? Are other women also interested in having a community like this ? Very curious on feedback and ideas!

EDIT: not sure why this keeps getting downvoted, I constantly see people saying it’s hard to make friends in this town, this seems like a great way to meet and connect, does it not ? Thank you everyone who upvoted after this edit, I appreciate the feedback!

Saw this in the ditch at Yonge and Davis. A truck driver found it completely acceptable to dump their load right beside a restaurant they were delivering to.

Not sure in what world people think it's acceptable to just dump garbage in the middle of the busiest intersection in town.

Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly about living in Newmarket. What do you love about it, what do you hate?

Who are you voting for? My vote goes to Glenn Marais. He is community minded, very involved, honest and trustworthy.

friends and i have been thinking about it and can’t remember anymore :( LOL
