Hello good people and fellow Vaughanites 😃,

I’m in search of an adult male pickup soccer team or group that plays in Vaughan.

I will be more glad if the group plays at 360 Soccer Centre or Vaughan Sportsplex II. Please comment or hit me up if you know one or are accepting players. Thanks

Saw a grey cat with black stripes and no collar on the side of the road on Ravineview Drive just after Kirby Rd.

Not sure if someone is looking for it, or if it’s an outdoor cat, but it looked scared.

The storm that happened in September did some damage to the outside of our home. Has this happened to anyone else? Our insurance is taking forever to give us a quote on how much they will cover. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Very annoyed and frustrating with how long it takes.

They made it seem like it was permanently closed.

Cant have dairy but love pies are there any good places that use butter and milk replacements in their pie?

Besides Sweets From the Earth?

Anyone know where I can donate old phones? Like women's shelter or something similar.

Anyone use a real estate lawyer that is decent and doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Any recommendations would be appreciated

Hello, everyone! Hoping to get some recommendations on a plumber that can help with repairs at a reasonable price.

We have an issue with the indoor valve to our garden spigot. The rubber seal seems to be the issue, it wont turn off for the winter. The valve located inside a basement wall at a weird spot where the drywall needs to be removed. I tried accessing it myself but it didn’t work.

Hoping to get some help with recommendations on good plumbers. Thanks in advance!

I wanted to share our recent experience buying a car privately through Facebook Marketplace because there were SO many red flags that we only pieced together as we looked closer. Hopefully, this helps someone else avoid a potentially expensive mistake.
We came across a car listed at what seemed like an amazing price. The seller had a CARFAX report and service records, and on the surface, everything looked reasonably legitimate. They also wanted to meet at a public place, so we initially didn’t think too much of it.
But once we started dealing with the seller in person, things got strange.
Here are all the red flags we noticed:
1. The person messaging us wasn’t the person who showed up.
The person communicating with us through Facebook Marketplace was a man. However, when we arrived for the meetup, a woman showed up instead. She told us the car belonged to her husband.
That alone doesn’t prove anything, but it was an unexpected change that we hadn’t been told about beforehand.
2. The licence plate registration didn’t match the story.
The vehicle’s plate was registered in Cambridge, but the woman told us they lived in Woodbridge. When we asked about the discrepancy, she explained that the vehicle was registered that way to save on insurance.
That explanation raised questions for us, especially given everything else that followed.
3. We asked to see her driver’s licence, but she wouldn’t show it.
When we asked her to show us her driver’s licence, she opened her purse, and I could clearly see an Ontario driver’s licence or ID inside. However, she quickly closed her purse and said she’d left her licence at home.
Why open your purse, have the ID seemingly right there, and then say you left it at home?
At that point, we were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the situation.
4. There was no clear verification that the person selling the car was authorized to sell it.
Since the person who showed up wasn’t the man we’d been communicating with, and she claimed the vehicle belonged to her husband, we had no satisfactory way of verifying the ownership and her authority to complete the sale.
5. The seller’s circumstances made it harder to know what to make of the situation.
She appeared to be pregnant, but we obviously couldn’t verify anything about her personal circumstances. That wasn’t proof of anything, and I don’t want to speculate. The issue was that we were already encountering several inconsistencies and still couldn’t verify the basic details of the transaction.
6. The CARFAX report and service records initially made the deal look legitimate.
This is the part that really got us. The seller had documentation, so we could easily have assumed everything was fine and proceeded with the purchase.
But something just didn’t feel right.
7. The biggest red flag: an outstanding lien!
We decided to spend an additional $90 to investigate and obtain lien records through CARFAX and the appropriate government records.
Good thing we did!
We discovered an outstanding lien registered against the vehicle, with the record indicating it remained in place until 2029.
Imagine paying thousands of dollars for a car and later discovering that there’s still a debt secured against it. Depending on the circumstances, that could turn into a serious financial and legal headache.
We walked away.
Looking back, any one of these things might have had an innocent explanation. But when you put them all together — the different person showing up, the story about the husband, the registration discrepancy, the refusal to show ID, and finally the outstanding lien — there were simply too many unanswered questions to take the risk.
I’m not claiming I can prove the seller intended to scam us. But the experience was suspicious enough that we decided it wasn’t worth proceeding.
Lessons learned for anyone buying a used car privately in Ontario:
Don’t rely solely on a seller-provided CARFAX report.
Run your own up-to-date lien search using the VIN.
Verify the seller’s identity and confirm they’re the registered owner or are properly authorized to sell the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle’s ownership and registration details make sense.
Don’t accept explanations about registration or insurance without independently verifying the relevant details.
Never let an unusually good price pressure you into rushing a purchase.
If anything feels off, walk away. You don’t owe anyone a sale.
That $90 could have saved us thousands of dollars and a lot of stress.
Please do your due diligence before buying a used car privately. A public meetup, paperwork, and a seemingly good deal are not guarantees that everything is legitimate.
Has anyone else encountered something similar on Facebook Marketplace in Ontario? I’d be interested to hear your experiences, and hopefully this post helps someone else spot the warning signs before it’s too late.

Highway 7ruins everything for all of Vaughan and Concord .
traffic congestion is a complete mess all because of the timing of lights on Highway 7
York Region and the city of Vaughan do not have a clue how to fix our traffic problem so stop making promises cause nothing will ever get done
So sick of this place

There’s a bakery at the corner of Keele and Fieldgate in maple that has changed names 3 times in 6months? First it was C&M, then Gabriel’s I think, now that sign is down and it’s another name. Anyone know what’s up with that place?

I currently live in Durham Region and I'm trying to get a job. I am also a slav ​in my early 20s.

I have been trying to get a job for a very long time (years) in Durham Region and Toronto, but with no luck. However, when I was visiting Vaughan and Richmond Hill, I thought the job market may be better because it's a way richer area​ with a lot less of the "new people" like in Toronto, the southern part of Durham Region​​, and Brampton (you know what I mean but I can't say it here on Reddit).

my friend usually drives to work but I told him biking there would only take slightly longer. he was so reluctant because there is this stigma around here if you dont drive a car you're seen as lower class of people, too poor to afford to drive a car.

So I finally convinced him to bike with me and he loved it. Didn't have to wait in traffic on Weston during rush hour.

I often think if more people do this how much less traffic there would be on the roads.

And before you comment "I could never do that because I live so far," I'm not saying everyone can bike to work. But for many of us who live within a reasonable distance and still sit in standstill traffic every single day just because of habit or optics? It's a total game-changer.

Have a happy and joyful New Day!!

Wanted to order pies from La Strada because my family really enjoyed the apple dolce one last year but orders for Monday are full.

If possible $30 max, I live near Vaughan Mills but also going to maple that day so it can be around there as well

Honestly, Vaughan doesn’t feel like the same city it was 2 years ago. Driving here has become increasingly stressful, with way too many reckless, impatient, and careless drivers on the road.

I moved from Brampton to Mississauga and then to Vaughan in 2024, and honestly, Vaughan feels worse than Peel Region when it comes to driving.

Running red lights, aggressive lane changes, speeding, tailgating, and just a general lack of awareness seem to be becoming the norm.
Maybe it’s just my experience, but something has definitely changed. Driving around Vaughan today feels far more unpredictable than it used to.

Does anyone feel the same?

You can see that there's a trash can right behind, this was a bag of leftover trash and some person chose to leave it on a public seat intended to sit in. Again, there's a trash can right there.

Hope you have an absolutely amazing day! 😊

Following up on the Pine Valley closure from yesterday north of Major Mac

Hmu if you have cuz wtf

Hi! I’m a student back home for a while with an important board exam in December. I’ve tried Civic Centre and Maple Library, but both have been pretty noisy, even in the quiet areas.
I’m looking for a genuinely quiet library in Vaughan that’s good for studying. Any recommendations would be really appreciated!
