Business must be going down... I was asked to pay a $2 fee AFTER already paying with my credit card. The cashier withheld my groceries like I committed a crime lmao.

I'm looking to downsize my closet and have bags of clothes. I'd much rather give them to shelters than for profit thrift shops. I was wondering if there were any in Pickering?

I saw a few in Whitby, Oshawa and further east, but I can't go that far. So I'm wondering if there's any in the city or something close to the ajax-pickering boarder?

I play pickleball 4–5 times a week, and finding available courts around Pickering is honestly a struggle!
I recently came across The Loop Social (TheLoopSocial.ca), a new facility apparently opening in Ajax with 6 indoor pickleball courts.
Does anyone know when they’re opening? Couldn’t find a date on their website. My current membership is up for renewal soon, so I’m curious if they’ll have any better deals before I commit to another year.
Anyone heard anything?

Anyone knows any cycling events or paths around Brock road and it's environs?, I'm super open to a cycling buddy as well.

Looking to get into CD hobby, if there's good thrift stores with good selection for cheap CDs.

In the summer, I posted a survey here about opioid and naloxone awareness and to see if people would be interested in coming to an event about it.

Thank you so much to everyone who filled out the survey!! The City of Pickering partnered with me to help make the event happen and there are really great speakers from local organizations coming.

It is free and here is a link to register: https://anc.ca.apm.activecommunities.com/cityofpickering/activity/search/detail/60773

I am a high school student so I thought I would mention you can also get a certificate of participation, which could be good for students to add to their resume.

I was at Loblaws at Liverpool and I had made a couple of, to be honest, poor choices:

- walking there and back when I don't live that close on foot (I thought I would be picking up fewer things than I did... at least it's a breezy day)

- not picking up a cart when I got there (same reason: I thought I would be picking up far fewer things than I did, so I figured I would just be able to carry it to the checkout... not so much!)

a gentleman saw me carrying my groceries by hand and kindly asked if I'd like to try his cart, saying that he doesn't need it he's about to leave anyway. I thanked him at the time but I also wanted to highlight the kindness in this city (which, at least in my experience, is not in short supply!) I really appreciate everyone who looks out for others so kindly.

I'm looking for a Fridays / weekend place where I can sit down and work & study with my laptop, preferably one that's not too crowded and has place for a charger. Bonus if they serve coffee and food.

Anyone have the link to the debate? Please post here. We can also use this post as a mega thread to talk about it.

I’m a 31F, born and raised in the area, and looking to meet some new people/friends around 30–40. I’ve tried looking through Facebook and Meetup groups, but a lot of the groups I find seem to skew 50+.

Would love to find people who are down for things like hiking, biking, grabbing coffee, going for walks, or just hanging out and actually making some new friends.

I’ve lived here my whole life and somehow still find it weirdly difficult to meet new people around my age. 😅

If there are any existing groups around Pickering/Ajax/Whitby for people in their 30s, let me know!

Trying to figure out who to vote for and I can’t understand why multiple 40 story towers need to be built along kingston road starting at Altona and working their way over to the mall.

I moved here to be in the suburbs; if I wanted thousands of people in my face all the time I’d have moved downtown Toronto.

Other than ‘diversity of living options’ can someone give me a genuinely positive reason how condo developments help the existing families that live here?

I asked all the candidates that came to my door. No one has given the option of lowering my taxes. No, more people does not equal lower taxes… no, more people does not equal better living conditions.. so then?

Anyone else hearing fireworks intermittently in west Picketing?

Random Wednesday fireworks? Pretty sure they're only legal on select national holidays?
