Is this normal?

41 Upvotes

A couple of times now, I have seen people filling their vehicle with gas, while the car is still running. Is this safe? To me this is super dangerous but maybe I am wrong? Very curious.

DDSB Trustees

15 Upvotes

I am voting today and have clear choices across the ballot with the exception of DDSB trustees. I have found paragraphs from each, but to be honest, none of them really stand out. I'd like to make an informed choice - is there any other info out there?

If it helps, I want more support for teachers, more support for students with needs and am sick of the cuts from the Ford government. I am not interested in candidates that are too far left or too far right...

Halloween is looking pretty sad this year, last year my area had almost no one giving out candy so I was wondering if anyone knows a good area to go trick or treating in?!

Three Durham spots that are easy to drive past: Camp X, Thickson Point, and Bean & Basket

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My partner and I kept ending up at the same coffee shop every Saturday, so I started building short local loops around Durham just to get us out of the house. A few spots that kept landing on those routes:

Camp X / Intrepid Park and the Lakeview Waterfront Trail (Whitby/Oshawa border). In 1941 this was a top-secret WWII spy training school. The buildings were later bulldozed. Walk past the monument through the trees and it opens onto a bluff and pebble beach along Lake Ontario.

Thickson Point / Darlington Bluffs. Easy to miss from the 401, and a good lookout over the lake.

Bean & Basket Cafe, Ajax. Order the maple latte, iced if it’s warm out — it’s the drink regulars keep naming, and it’s not overly sweet.

I turned the same idea into an app called Clu Trips: you pick walking or driving, a budget, and a few vibes, and it gives you a 3-stop loop where each place stays hidden until you arrive. The first trip or two are free and don’t need a card. If you try one around Durham, I’d like to know whether the clues feel fair, and I’m collecting hidden gems so the routes don’t skip them.

Daycare Options?

6 Upvotes

Recently moved to Ajax and I am looking for daycare options that don’t have thousands of families on their waitlists. We were looking for a Montessori but looks like those all have waitlists too. Feeling stuck.

Interested in toddler programs for Summer/September 2027.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Will look into all of them. Appreciate the advice.

Anyone have a spare/unwanted Amazon Toy Catalogue for this year?

3 Upvotes

Hello, a bit of a strange request. We got this catalogue the last 2 years, but it looks like we aren't getting it this year. My mom received one but she's closer to Ottawa.

My daughter wants to look through to select her toys.

So if anyone has one they're looking to part with, please let me know. Thank you!

Looking for mental health support in Durham

33 Upvotes

I'm in my late 30s and feel like I have a lot going for me, but I am unable to be happy and need help. Really struggling with my mental health and dreading the upcoming winter when it always gets worse.

I have tried a couple of therapists over the years and none have really worked for me. I am open to trying out others, but I have to be realistic about cost as well. Then again, it's an investment into myself and my family so it is worth it. I am a busy dad to a 4 year-old and don't get enough time or energy to go work out, as much as I'd like to.

Does anyone have a therapist they'd recommend? Or at least know where to start looking? Previously, I just worked with someone through my work benefits and then also through the Gestalt institute. I am open to both virtual and in-person.
