I'm planning to have my garage door serviced and have been looking at a few companies that work in Whitby. There seem to be a lot of options, and most of them have good reviews, so it's been a bit difficult to narrow them down.

If you've had your garage door repaired, replaced, or serviced recently, I'd be interested to hear which company you used and whether you'd recommend them.

Any suggestions?

Update: I was recently suggested Motion Garage Doors and from what I saw, they offer garage door repairs, installations, maintenance, spring replacement, opener services, and 24/7 emergency support in Whitby and the surrounding area. Thanks.

Anyone where to meet people

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to meet people haha

I'm recently realize i don’t have any friends

Not sure where to start since I don’t have any hobbies

Thanks

I wanted to know if any public screening of the final are occurring in the region?

Hi everyone,
I’m considering Little Orchard Day Care in Whitby and wanted to hear from parents who’ve actually used it.
How are the staff, communication, and day‑to‑day routines?
Did your child enjoy going there?
Trying to get a real sense of the place before making a decision.
Thanks in advance!

In this phase of the project, the second and third floors are being converted into 104 supportive, transitional housing units

I'm a student entrepreneur from Ontario who recently started a web design business through the Ontario Summer Company Program and received a $3,000 grant to help get it off the ground.

My business, InfaWeb, helps local businesses generate more leads through modern website design.

To build my portfolio and gain more experience, I'm offering a few local businesses a free homepage redesign concept for their current website.

What you'll get:
• A custom homepage redesign tailored to your business
• Suggestions to improve conversions, trust, and lead generation
• No obligation to purchase anything

If you like the redesign and decide you'd like a full website built, we can discuss the project scope, pricing, timeline, and next steps. If not, you'll still get some ideas and recommendations that you can use however you'd like.

If you're interested, comment below or send me a message with your website URL and a brief description of your business.

Gun evidence tossed after police car seen on video slamming into scooter riders in Canadian Tire takedown

I’m sad to hear the Gun evidence tossed;
Credit to the first officer for his precision use of the vehicle in a low speed collision to disarm the gun carrier. Even though he had accelerated, the pair were still able to run away - sure there was risk of greater harm but such skills on illegal gun-carriers should be part of standard training; greater risk in striking from behind probably was not warranted, and also not used.
Credit too to the second officer for preemptively stopping the gun-handler.
Carrying the gun is one thing; handling the gun another - our dedicated police officers should be credited when making good judgment decisions that reduces the greater risk of guns being fired

Reasonable development is required at the busiest and most dangerous intersection in Whitby.

Finalizing my registration this week for SAMS Driving School to prepare me for my G2 in December. Has anyone done it with them?

I need an exam proctor on August 11, 2026, from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Proctor would need to be one of the following:

• University Professor 
• Professor at a Public College (Canada only)
• Administrative Employees of a University or Public College (Canada only)
• Invigilation Centre or Testing centre staff
• Embassy or consulate staff
• Active Principal or active vice-principal of a public secondary or public primary school, (Canada only)
• For public safety personnel (border services officers, serving Canadian Armed Forces members and Veterans, correctional service and parole officers, firefighters, emergency management personnel, operational intelligence personnel, paramedics, police officers, public safety civilian members, and search and rescue personnel) 

The exam would also have to be couriered back the same day, willing to pay all fees and any requested payment.

While visting Whitby to watch my daughter play a softball tourney on Sunday, my Mum left her green wallet in a shopping cart at the Metro on Victoria Street and Gordon across from Iroquois Sports complex.

We called Metro a few times, went and checked the plaza and called the nearby OPP detachment but nobody has seen it.

Just posting on the off chance someone picked it up or happened to see it. We're hoping a good Samaritan picked it up as the credit cards were not used between when she lost it (around noon) and when she discovered it was missing (around 8 pm.)

I'm a member of a kendo (Japanese fencing) club here in Whitby. We have been booking the basketball court at Planet Athlete on Brock for a few years now which was a nice affordable option, but they are closing down so I'm looking for a new practice space for us.

We need a wooden floor (ideally springy) with space overhead (in order to swing the sword). Any space meeting those requirements, like most indoor basketball courts and many dance studios, is likely to work well for us.

Some potential options I'm already aware of:

• Brooklin Community Centre gym
• Canada Athletic Performance Centre
• maybe the Abilities Centre?
• DDSB schools (not available on weekends in summer)

If you're aware of anything please let me know!

We're hoping to find another space within Whitby as opposed to e.g. Ajax or Oshawa, both because many of our members live here and because we named ourselves "Whitby Kendo" and we don't want to have to rename it...
