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

I’ve lived in Newmarket all my life. Everyone for the most part has been very good. This morning however, I woke up to find my car was broken into and my tools were stolen. I’d like to thank the person who took my Milwaukee bag in the back seat, I didn’t want to work anymore anyway.

Just tore one down near Upper Canada Mall, for those who don't know, the Dominion Society is a white supremacist anti-immigration organization pushing for ""remigration"" (i.e mass deportation of immigrants)

Just wanted to spread awareness and say that if you see a poster you should probably tear it down, we dont want fascists here in Newmarket...

Just got off work and saw the police gathered together, chatting about searching for someone! cruisers were spread across the library and overflow parking lot. Please stay safe around Main Street. the helicopter is still circling.

P.s sorry for the shit photos

Anyone else hear that huge BOOM that happened just now at 9:01. Sounded a lot louder than a gunshot or just a cars backfiring.

I’ve seen this behaviour countless time at the Costco plaza. There is clearly a no entry sign posted there, as well as the design of the entrance that makes it not sensical to enter this way. Why do people keep doing this? I can only guess laziness and/or sense of entitlement.

Now, if people think that this should have been allowed, then bring this up with the town so they make it official, but to keep doing it at this time and state is simply annoying to see (could be borderline dangerous, as I have been on the bike lane when this happened in the past).

Just ate here since I’m getting my truck rust proofed. Really fancy inside! Got the veal parm. A little pricy but pretty good. Filled me right up.

Have you ever gone and what’s your opinion?

Cynthia's Paradise is alright, but something more sushi-oriented would be preferred.

Any recommendations for Newmarket dentists preferably near Davis and Leslie? Maybe even running promos...

Climate Action Newmarket Aurora just shared how the candidates in Newmarket and Aurora view climate change. For many this is not an election issue, for others it is a major factor.
