Today is the Town's Birthday. We turn 169.

There are no celebrations because outside of a handful of people no one cares or celebrates Milton's Birthday anymore 😢

Sorry I didn't have time this year to organize one. I do setup something most years, either at Town Hall or elsewhere.

Hello everyone! newer to town, have had one massage here and wasn't the best, so looking for any recommendations on a solid place. deep tissue is what i usually aim for as i work construction, body goes through alot. thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Hi all,

I have a friend who's going to visit me in Milton for a few days and would like to stay at a hotel nearby. Unfortunately living at my place is not an option.

What are the best hotels in the area that's nice and safe for females? And preferably close to the highway.

Thanks!

Im a high schooler who's somewhat interested in journalism and wants to practice my writing skills over the summer and I was thinking of making a kind of Milton community blog sort of thing, with an advice column, lists of nice spots in the area, newcomer guides, poetry submissions, highlights on local events, interviews from random people in the community and that sort of thing as a kind of passion project. Would any one be interested in reading it if I decide to go forward? Thank you 🩷

Has anyone renovating an older Mattamy home in Milton been able to get the original builder floor plans?

I'm looking for plans from the early 2000s, but I can't seem to find them anywhere on the web. I've reached out to Mattamy's sales office but haven't heard back yet.

I'm curious whether Mattamy keeps an archive, or if anyone has had success tracking down old floor plans or brochures another way.

EDIT: Heard back from Mattamy and for anyone who's curious: because of the age of the home, they no longer have the original floor plans, brochures, or model documents on file.

just found an anti- abortion flyer left on my doorstep today and I am incredibly outraged.

Regardless of where anyone stands on the politics of abortion, the stuff on this pamphlet are completely unacceptable to be throwing onto people's doorsteps. It has grossly disturbing, scientifically inaccurate images, and the writing inside is SO unprofessional...even going so far as to downplay SA and life or death medical situations in a couple dot jots. Rather than having any real educational value to get their "anti abortion" point across, they're using such cheap guilt trips to shame women who have been through this. Disgustingly unempathetic. 

My main concern is that these are being dropped where anyone, including young kids, could easily pick them up and see these graphic images. So yeah, just a warning for parents with young children: watch out for your kids picking these up!

Did anyone else receive one of these today? I can't be the only one who thinks this crosses a major line.

If you lost your phone around 845 at Steeles Goodlife, you can claim it from the front desk

I saw a few cop cars, fire truck and ambulance there, and a bicycle on the road. Didn't see much as cop cars and cops standing around were blocking the view, but it looked like a bicycle was hit by a minivan. If so, I really hope the cyclist is doing alright.

I've seen so many drivers turning right from Scott on that intersection who only look on their left for oncoming traffic. Most don't pay attention if a cyclist or a pedestrian is coming from their right side. With schools off and roads emptier, it seems some of those drivers have thrown caution off completely. Saw a couple more such crazies on Derry this morning as well.

I know, without knowing full details, it's easy to assume blame the car driver. Maybe that cyclist was at fault this morning. But I really hope the drivers pay more attention and stay more aware... No matter who's fault it is, it's the cyclist/pedestrian who will suffer in such interaction.

Does anyone know what happened on 401 today? In the afternoon it was closed off from James Snow Parkway to Trafalgar

Loved the Osmow’s special when they used to be a nice local joint, using marinated chicken breast. This is no longer an option since they became a bland chain. I think Lazewz had it as well back then. Not a big fan of the chicken thighs, I know this is the real way for Shawarma but…

Has anyone’s 4 year old done after-school care at Dragon Taekwondo, Top Level Taekwondo, or Kicks for Kids in Milton? Trying to figure out which one would be the best fit for a younger kiddo just starting JK. Would love to hear your experiences!

I've been stuck at the Walmart plaza for 45 mins. No car is moving by the James Snow/Steeles exit and hasn't been for the past 45 mins. Does anyone know what is happening?

Or garage sales in general no longer a thing?
