Parents of Newmarket/Aurora: what do you wish was better about baby/toddler swim lessons?

I’m a parent in the area doing some research before potentially getting certified as a swim instructor.

I’m not selling anything and don’t have a program yet—just trying to understand what local parents actually want from swim lessons for babies and young kids (roughly 4 months to 4 years old).

If you’ve done parent-and-tot or toddler swim classes, I’d really appreciate your honest input:
What did you like most about the experience?
What frustrated you or felt “missing”?
How easy was it to get a spot / schedule classes?
Did you feel your child was actually progressing?
What would an “ideal” swim class look like for your family?
Even short answers are helpful.

Thanks in advance—this is just research to understand if there’s a gap in local programs and what matters most to parents.

If you’ve had both public (town) and private lessons, I’d especially love to hear how they compared.

Property Management Company Falsifying reviews

TSE management services was acquired by Wilkar Property Management a few years ago. I suspect they are leaving fake reviews using staff from Wilkar to boost T.S.E management services. I use to work with them and left an honest review. This is how they respond.

Vaughan City Hall marriage - what to expect?

Hi reddit,

I am planning to get married at city hall next month. We're planning on inviting about 30-35 people in total and I am trying to prepare for it. I've already toured the area and I'm aware about how it looks and such.

Has anyone on here done a city hall marriage, particularly at the Vaughan City Hall (Major Mackenzie and Keele)?
Were there anything you wish you knew about the space before your big day?
How did you plan your day - what time did you tell friends/family to come to the ceremony? Did you hire a photographer? How long were you at the hall for?
How long did the entire ceremony take? Are you allowed to stay later for some photos?

Also open to hearing other aspects about the ceremony that I didn't mention above

Thanks very much in advance!
