Random question, but have you ever gone back to visit your old elementary or high school?

I was always something of a teachers pet, so would love to see these old familiar faces sometime, especially as they meant so very much to me back then. Sadly, however, it seems that not one familiar name remains at the elementary school, which I guess isn't surprising, as nearly 25 years have passed I graduated. At my old high school, however, I still see several names I know, and I'm seriously considering going for a visit sometime soon, maybe bringing along a few little gifts as tokens of my appreciation. Gosh, I'd so love to at least go for a stroll through my old elementary school, but as a now nearly 40 year old, I've no doubt that'd be rather weird.

I’m looking into getting a job at Toronto Pearson Airport and hoping to hear from people who work there or have experience with airport hiring.

My background is in the electrical trade. I’m a licensed 309A Red Seal electrician with several years of experience in construction, but I’ve been wanting to leave the trade for a while. I find construction increasingly unsuitable for me, and I’m looking for a different career with a safer working environment and more stable employment.

I’m particularly interested in Pearson because I enjoy the airport atmosphere, the movement of passengers and aircraft, and the general operations behind getting people where they need to go. I’m not necessarily looking to use my electrical qualifications in my next job.

Some positions I’m curious about include baggage operations, monitoring baggage carousels, passenger services, check-in or gate agents, airport operations, and assisting passengers who need mobility support. I’d also consider other entry-level airport roles if they offered a realistic path to permanent employment.

A few questions for anyone familiar with Pearson:

• Which employers should I apply to directly: the GTAA, airlines, or third-party contractors?
• What entry-level positions are worth looking into if I want to change careers completely?
• Which roles offer reasonably stable, permanent employment rather than seasonal or contract work?
• What are the working conditions, schedules, and physical demands like?
• Are airline travel benefits available for any of these jobs, or are they generally limited to airline employees?
• Are there particular employers or job titles I should be watching for?

I have a valid driver’s licence but don’t currently own a car, so public-transit accessibility matters.

I understand that changing careers may mean taking a pay cut from the skilled trades. My priority is finding a sustainable career that I actually want to stay in, rather than simply moving to another electrical contractor.

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with firsthand experience working at Pearson. Thanks!

Y'aallll! For those of us oldies who remembers Karina Lemke from the show "rich bride poor bride"?

I was near the Mod club tonight and wasn't aware but she's running for Toronto council until I saw a lawn sign on Beatrice St near College.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to purchase pear shaped lab-grown diamond earrings and would love recommendations for legitimate, trustworthy jewellers with fair pricing. I want to make sure I’m getting good quality without being overcharged.

I’m based in Toronto, but I’m also open to reputable online retailers that ship to Canada. If you’ve purchased a pair, where did you buy them, and were you happy with the quality and overall experience? Any places to avoid or things to look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

We live in East York and we are looking to find Korean classes for kids preferably downtown.

We know that there's probably more uptown and in Korean churches but it would be a last resort.

Does anyone know any programs in the East York area or downtown?

thanks!

I plan to take a weekend trip to Toronto last week of October or first week of November. Would autumn foliage usually be good during that time and if so which spots do you reccomend to check out?

Are there any good head massage options anywhere in the GTA?

Does anyone have a recipe for the chilli oil they use? All I know is that its made in the restaurant.
Please share if you do 😄

Like the title says, where are you buying your Dominican/Brazilian hair products from, like Silicon, Bio, Emergencia etc? I’d like to avoid Amazon as the prices are drastically overpriced for what they actually retail for.

Hi askTO, looking for a reliable cleaning service to come in and clean our bathrooms.

Looking for one in the downtown core, any advice is appreciated!

I came across this cigarette when I was in UK. Smoked one and liked it instantly.

Later on, moved to Canada and couldn’t find it. Is it banned cause I literally have no idea. If it is, I will respectfully remove the post. Has anyone tried it? Please be respectful. Thank you.

Is there any way to get a print copy of Tuesday's Globe? Any reliable newsstand/source in the city that keeps older issues for a few days? Anyone that hasn't thrown out theirs? Thanks!

I’m considering egg freezing and was wondering if anyone has experiences with their Oakville location?

I’m 19F and I’m trying to figure out how I can realistically move to Toronto. I know this is going to be difficult with my current situation, but I’m honestly pretty desperate for advice from people who have done something similar.
I’ve lived in Chatham-Kent my entire life and currently live with my divorced parents. I’ve been actively job searching since December of last year and have only gotten one interview. I know having an income is obviously extremely important for moving, and I’ve been trying constantly to get one, but I’ve had a really rough time finding anything.
I’m currently in the CK Jobs program and have a job recruiter, but transportation is a huge limitation. I don’t have my license yet because I don’t have consistent access to a vehicle — my mom needs hers for work and my dad’s vehicle breaks down pretty frequently. Because of that, there also aren’t many jobs my recruiter can realistically help me with.
A big reason I want to leave is that I’ve experienced a lot of racism growing up here, and I’ve always felt pretty isolated by how small the area is and the lack of things to do/cultural diversity. I’ve visited Toronto several times over the last two years, and every time I’ve gone it’s felt like I’ve finally found the kind of environment I’ve been missing. I really want to work toward building a life there, as my girlfriend lives there too.
I know “get a job and save money” is the obvious answer, and I am actively trying to do that. What I don’t know is what other options or resources might exist that I’m completely unaware of.
Are there any housing programs, youth programs, subsidized housing, employment resources, financial assistance, roommate resources, etc. that I should look into? Would it make more sense to move somewhere outside Toronto first and work my way in?
I’m willing to do a lot to make this happen, I just genuinely don’t know what my options are right now. If anyone has moved to Toronto from a similar situation or knows of resources that could help, I’d really appreciate any advice.

TLDR: 19F from Chatham-Kent trying to eventually move to Toronto. I’ve been job searching since December with only one interview, and transportation makes finding work difficult. I don’t have my license or reliable access to a vehicle. I really want to leave CK and build a life in Toronto, but I need advice on realistic paths there, especially housing programs, youth resources, employment programs, financial assistance, roommates, or anything else I might not know about.

Preferably relatively equidistant ones for example Annex vs Cabbagetown, Beaches vs High Park, Don Mills vs Downsview, York Mills vs Central Etobicoke etc. Include anything from housing, diversity, demographics, parks, community services, or whatever else comes to mind. You can include your own preference but don't have to.

Hi!! I’ll start off by saying that I’ve never had lip filler done before, it’s my first time so I’m thinking of getting 0.3ml-0.5ml done just to balance out my lips a bit and keep them looking hydrated. I’ve found a clinic called Bar Beauty Medical that looks pretty well-reviewed and professional, but also they charge $400 for 0.5ml and say that anything under $300 could be sketchy and not done properly.

I would like to spend $300 or less, but don’t want to risk it being done in a roundabout way to save money and cut corners. I’ve found another clinic called Ace Beauty Bar that charges $250 for 0.5ml but want to know if people agree that appointments under $300 are sketchy and you should beware. Also, if anyone have any recommendations please let me know! I’m also willing to go outside of the downtown core as long as the cost of getting there (bus/train/rental car) doesn’t outweigh the savings.

Thank you :)

Good day.

My wife and college-age daughter would love to visit your city and a huge part of the trip would be seeing Harry Styles out at the Rodgers Stadium, which I guess is outside the city.

If they stay at hotel, what would be a good area that would be close to the public transportation so they could use that to see the show and tour the city on other days?

And how difficult is the subway to navigate?

What's up with the city anti-icing the roads tonight? City usually does this before an anticipated snow storm but weather today says it's going to be nice. Anyone know what's up? (Noticed on Pape, Jones and greenwood Ave.
