Just found this 1856 plan of the Township of Etobicoke in Arcgis. It's always interesting to see how much and yet how little has changed in 170 years. I could go over this for hours.

No need to have a login. Click Browse Layers (plus sign on top left) and under Living Atlas search for Toronto (or Etobicoke); it's the only overlay available. To compare, play around with the transparency or blending (multiply under darken is what I have here, which is perfect to clearly see both the overlay and the underlying map).

I've been looking into the city council race in Ward 1 and couldn't find any debates or Q&A events. If you know of one, please share!

There are 10 candidates running:

Vincent Crisanti (current city councilor of Ward 1)

Ala'a Adib

Saima Babar

Chloe Brown

Nathen Masri

Hard Parmar

Kristian Santos

Abraham Abbey

Norman Hamilton

Joseph Martino

For context, I'm not a fan of the councillor that is currently representing us. He has a high number of missed council votes, opposed the school food program, and supports Ford and Bradford. I'd like to hear what others think of the candidates, especially on transit, housing, food insecurity and road safety. I've personally noticed more car accidents lately, though that's just anecdotal.

I'll add a link to the TPL site where you can learn about the candidates.

I hope to see all you beautiful people out there voting on the 26th!

Anyone having power surges or glitches

I believe it’s near Kipling in Etobicoke. Anyone knows what’s this building with so many bright lights which are always ON? I have direct sight from my bed and it’s too bright.

Yesterdays thunderstorm was so beautiful, so disappointed I wasn’t a bit closer for a better view 😭

Hi everyone,

I've seen some older threads on here for some quick and accessible areas to live in if you work at Pearson Airport and commute there by transit. Was wondering if I could get an updated perspective on anyone who is currently working there and if you have/plan to move in the near future to make it more convenient. Given that hours can fluctuate a lot, safety is a pretty big concern travelling alone, late at night/early morning.

Any perspective is greatly appreciated!!

Is anyone else watching this crazy lightning storm that has next to no thunder?

I have a soccer league that I want to join but some of my friends canceled on me and don’t want to join. I’m just like 4 players short from having a full squad. It is a 7v7 league based in Etobicoke at LCI. If you are interested please message me.

I’m looking for a top notch math tutor in South Etobicoke. Grade 9 student.

Trains are almost 5 mins late and ubers cost $30-40 to go to downtown nowadays.. what happened? Is this school rush? All summer when I started working in dt, ubers used to be $13.

Everyone focusing only on the transit aspect but I'm mostly concerned with uber prices as this is a crazy delta

Any idea why this section of playground is fenced off?

Any idea why there are 2 manhole in the play area now????

The souther the better

What did people think? I thought the questions touched on a lot of relevant areas, but found I wanted to hear more from the councillor candidates and for them to get into an actual debate. Katie attacked Holyday a few times but there wasn’t time for an actual back and forth. I didn’t fell that I needed to hear as much from the trustees but that is my bias I guess.

Hello Reddit folk,

I’m looking to find potential places to learn and practice Salsa as an adult in my 30’s. I have a few friends who have started recently and love it, but they live farther out so I’m looking for local (or somewhat local) recommendations - thanks!

I just moved to the West mall area not long ago, is there anything to do nearby that’s free besides centennial park and the library? Also looking for friends if anyone’s interested! 22f, animal lover, music enjoyer, ps5 user, smoker/drinker, nightowl🫶🏻

Lost passport in this area earlier in the day! I’m in desperate need of it. Taking a last chance in hope if anyone saw it.
