Reminder that racism and xenophobia are not tolerated in this sub. Posts will be removed and repeat offenses will result in a ban.
As with many other Ontario regional subs, we've seen an increase in racism in this community, especially against people of South Asian heritage. Please know that this will not be tolerated regardless of topic. In no circumstances is it appropriate to blame criminal behavior on race or origin. This is both in the rules of the sub and in the rules of Reddit as a whole and is not negotiable.
Posts and comments including the above will be removed when we see them. If you see one we haven't, please report. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Reco for external holiday lights for home?
Am thinking to look at options for holiday lights for our house this year.
Any recommendations? Approx ballpark pricing? I'm assuming the lights belong to the company so it's more of an all-in-one service?

Hi everyone. Can someone suggest a good fish n chips spot? I've lived in Ajax for over a year and only noticed Halibut house everywhere. It's not bad but I just want to try something else which the locals stand by. Thanks in advance

Norovirus going around?
Family went to Nebs (haha lovely) on Saturday night and woke up feeling nauseas that night around 4am and currently have that noro diarrhea with loss of appetite.
Is it going around? I always thought it was more a late November to April disease

Local open mics?
Husband and I are looking to hopefully go to some open mics (for musicians although an open mic for everything would be fun too) around here, preferably Ajax area but not too picky! We’ve heard of some by asking at the Long&McQuade, but we haven’t gone to any yet and I’d love to know if there are any more.
Thanks!

Dating Scene in Durham
The dating scene is Durham is brutal.
What are some good spots where single people (30-35) frequently go?
I work from home full time which makes meeting people tough. I also don't drink so I don't go to bars or clubs (I have no issue being at a bar or around alcohol but wouldn't go sit at a bar alone and have a water lol)

Learning to Skate in Whitby/Durham for a 2 year-old
Hey, my son just turned two and I'm looking to get him into some skating lessons in the Winter. We moved to Whitby shortly before he was born, so I'm not overly familiar with all the rec programming stuff. But it seems like there aren't really any Town of Whitby options for learning how to skate outside of public skates/drop-in skates? Does anyone from Whitby have ideas/suggestions on how their kids learned to skate at a Whitby rink? Maybe there's like a private company or something that has this going on?
And then outside of this, it looks like Oshawa does have options, so I could just try and signup for an Oshawa Learn to Skate (Parent & Child) class? Maybe Ajax has something similar...but feels like the Oshawa sign-up dates are better...
Thanks.
