r/Vaughan

Found yet another screw in my tire and need to get it looked at and repaired. Trying to get it done quickly, but most places don't have time for days. Anyone know somewhere you can get same day service and has had experience with?

Not looking to go to a place that is just going to go "Oh we can't repair that you need to buy new tires...."

Anybody else lose power?

I work from home as a graphic designer and sometimes I just need to get out of the house to reset my brain. I have tried a few coffee shops around Vaughan, but most of them either have slow wifi, not enough outlets, or get way too loud in the afternoon. I am looking for a spot where I can camp out for a couple of hours, grab a good latte, and not feel guilty about taking up a table. Does anyone have a go-to cafe they actually recommend for remote work? Bonus points if they have good natural light or interesting interior design. I live near Rutherford and Jane, but I am happy to drive a bit for the right vibe. Also curious if any local places stay open later than 6 pm for evening work sessions.

Hi,

Anyone have experience with the personal trainers there? Looking to get into fitness and would like a personal trainer to help me kick start my journey

I’d feel dumb for asking this year but I’ve seen way stupider posts.

The place I used to go to no longer makes chicken salad and now I’ve got a hankering for a spankering.

I tried making my own and it was mid as fuck.

Hook a brother up!

I’m considering applying for a position but I’ve seen mixed opinions on Glassdoor.

I feel like every time I drive along Rutherford lately there's a new set of orange cones or a freshly dug up sidewalk. Between Weston and Jane it's been non stop for months. I get that Vaughan is growing but at this point I can't tell if they're actually building something specific or just slowly replacing every single section of road one piece at a time. Has anyone seen an actual map of what they're doing? I tried looking on the city website but got lost in PDFs. Also curious if the Major Mac work is ever going to wrap up or if that's just our new normal now. Not trying to complain too much, progress is good, but my commute has turned into a maze and I'm starting to forget what a smooth road feels like.

Anyone have inside info on timelines or am I just learning to accept the cones as part of my permanent landscape?

Live near a very very dry and dying forest and hearing fireworks is absolutely terrifying! 50 years ago neighbours got together and all the dads made sure there were safety measures in place. Sand, extinguishers and at least 3 hoses from various neighbours and no one took safety for granted. Please be safe Vaughan

Just checked my phones weather app, it shows 4/10 air quality. Why is it? I’m outside and do see some haziness, but is it actually that bad?

Hi there. Any recommendations for a place to have off rim tire change aside from canadian tire or mr lube close to VMC area? Thank you 😁 if anybody knows the price range it would be greatly appreciated. Its for a toyota rav4 2013

I have been on a hunt for real sourdough in Vaughan, not the fake stuff that tastes like regular white bread with a slight tang. You know the kind. Soft, squishy, barely any crust, and the ingredient list has yeast and vinegar in it. That is not sourdough. I want the kind with a proper crust, a chewy crumb, and that deep fermented flavor. The kind that takes a few days to go stale instead of turning into a brick of sadness overnight. I have tried a few grocery store options. Longo's bakery is okay but not great. Fortinos has a loaf labeled sourdough that leaves me disappointed every time. Costco used to have something decent but I haven't seen it in months. Are there any local bakeries in Vaughan or Woodbridge doing it right?

I learned just now that Vaughan is the rudest city in Canada.

A month ago, I made a post about catching someone dumping garbage on District Avenue at Dufferin/Rutherford. Original post here.

I am sharing an update since I've received overwhelming response from this community and comforted that we are all aligned in this matter. All this garbage dumping needs to stop.

Two weeks after I submitted a complain to the city of Vaughan, a bylaw officer contacted me and told me they had identified the owner of the vehicle dumping the garbage and has now charged them. There is a possibility I may have to go to court for this, but if I do, then so be it.

In addition, the bylaw officer also contacted the owner of the vacant land to clean up the garbage on the north side of District Avenue. This week, I noticed the cleanup is complete and they have now put up new signs to prevent future dumping. I'm not convinced these signs will do anything, but at least the cleanup has been made, for now.

New sign added on north side of District avenue to prevent dumping. Not sure it will do anything, but worth a try.

Large garbage crate to clean up the side of the road. It's crazy how much garbage was dumped there for them to have to hire a crate of this size and have it completely filled up.

All in all, I am happy with the response I received from the city and glad it is now cleaned up. Let's see if this actually prevents any dumping from happening in the future. I appreciate the everyone in this community for the support. Let's continue to keep Vaughan a clean and safe place.
