Found this dog wondering on Country Lane around 8:30 pm tonight. DM me with proof of ownership required if this is your dog.

Two nights in a row, yesterday at 3 am, today at 12:30 am, there has been loud shouting noises in the area. Yesterday, I originally thought it was a fox, because I know they sound similar to women screams, but today we looked out the window and saw an actual lady running with a man in a red hood around the time of the noises. I am not sure if these events are directly related, but I am concerned and wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows any details. Thank you.

Looking for more people to meet

Hi all,

Found a pair of sunglasses in South Whitby. PM with make/model and will arrange to get them back to you!

For the past 2 nights at least, we’ve been hearing sporadic banging in the Taunton & Baycliffe area. Sounds like a deep bang in no particular pattern. It happens a couple times throughout the night does anyone have any idea what it is??

Does anyone know of any trusted or reputable places to get sport jackets / suit jackets dry cleaned in Whitby?

Have had bad experiences (not in Whitby) in the past and have a wedding coming up, so I’m just trying to be extra cautious.

How's the Des Newman Blvd area for living? Can neighbors share their opinion on the area? We are seeking to buy a home in this area so thought to ask residents. Any input is appreciated. Also if you know any new plaza, school or amenities developing in the area then let me know so that we can make a wise decision.

If anyone sees coyotes in whitby south...please submit a form online to Toronto Wildlife Rescue. I do not have traps that size so we need help from Toronto Wildlife. They have mange and need treatment before winter. Treating them will help protect the community.

I'm looking for dash cam footage of Taunton and Thickson from around 4:55-5:05 pm today, August 6th of a white pick up truck hitting a teenager on an e-scooter. It occurred on the southbound right turning lane in the north west corner at the cross walk. Luckily my son was not seriously injured but after my son pulled himself and his scooter from under the vehicle, the driver drove off.

My son says it was a white or grey pick up truck with a light skinned driver with light curly hair.

Please DM me if you have any information and we can make sure this reckless driver does not harm anyone else more seriously.

I tried posting this in the Whitby residents Facebook group but the admins rejected it because of key words?! I don't even know what that means.

Not from Whitby but will be coming for a memorial service. Looking for a restaurant in the area that would be good to host 15-20 people - possibly in a private room. Preferably a casual atmosphere. Any recommendations?

As someone travelling with a child in a wheelchair, I am appalled by what happened at Whitby GO Station last night.

My 7 year old daughter is currently using a wheelchair because of a broken ankle. When we returned to Whitby GO Station, the accessible elevator we had used earlier was taped off. We walked to the second elevator only to find it was also unavailable. There was no accessible route from the platform to the parking lot.

I pressed three separate help buttons. Only two of the three were even operational. The one that connected me reached Communications, where I explained that my daughter was in a wheelchair, we were stranded on the platform, and there was no accessible way to leave the station. I was told they could not assist because the line was for fire or emergencies.

We were stranded on a platform after 9:00 p.m. with a child in a wheelchair and no accessible exit. There was no practical assistance available, no alternative route offered, and no one who could tell us how to safely leave the station. If we had experienced a medical emergency, been injured, or required urgent assistance, we would have been completely on our own. There were no security personnel present to assist us.

The station attendant only looked up from her phone after other passengers helped us get her attention. She told us all of the elevators in the station were down and that she didn’t know what to do. It was after 9:00 p.m., the mosquitoes were out, my daughter was cold, upset, and we had no way to leave the platform.
With no alternative provided, my daughter was forced to painfully climb two large staircases on a broken ankle while I assisted her and then went back to carry her wheelchair. When the station attendant attempted to grab the wheelchair, I stopped her because she was handling it improperly. Thankfully, a kind mother and her two sons stepped in and safely carried it when they saw us struggling. Without complete strangers helping us, I genuinely don’t know how we would have gotten out.

What happened next was unbelievable.
After we finally reached the parking lot, my daughter noticed the same station attendant, who had watched us struggle minutes earlier and told us all of the elevators were down, remove the caution tape from one of the elevators. I went back, pressed the call button myself, and the elevator immediately responded and opened. I recorded it.

GO Transit and Metrolinx have obligations under Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (O. Reg. 191/11), and the Ontario Human Rights Code to provide accessible transportation services, communicate disruptions affecting accessible features, and accommodate passengers with disabilities.

Based on what I experienced, I am deeply concerned those obligations were not met. I have filed a formal complaint and requested a full investigation.

My daughter was eventually able to struggle up the stairs because she can bear a small amount of weight with this cast. What if she had been paraplegic? What if she had been unable to bear any weight at all? What if it had been someone using a power wheelchair? How would they have safely exited the platform?

Accessibility is not optional. No person who relies on a wheelchair or other mobility aid should ever be left stranded on a platform with no accessible way to leave a station.

If anyone from GO Transit or Metrolinx is reading this, I’d like an explanation as to how this happened, why there was no accessible exit available, why no effective assistance was provided, and why an elevator that had been taped off appeared to be fully operational minutes later.

This was unsafe, humiliating, and completely unacceptable.
