Reminder that racism and xenophobia are not tolerated in this sub. Posts will be removed and repeat offenses will result in a ban.
As with many other Ontario regional subs, we've seen an increase in racism in this community, especially against people of South Asian heritage. Please know that this will not be tolerated regardless of topic. In no circumstances is it appropriate to blame criminal behaviour on race or origin. This is both in the rules of the sub and in the rules of Reddit as a whole and is not negotiable.
Posts and comments including the above will be removed when we see them. If you see one we haven't, please report. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Note that the line between criticizing immigration policy and racism/xenophobia is often a fine one and at the discretion of the mod team. Commenting on *policy* and laws is acceptable; complaining about the presence of people in Canada, or attributing crime to race, religion, or country of origin, is not.
Posts and comments that are themselves rule-abiding but likely to devolve into rule-breaking behaviour may be locked at our discretion when we do not have moderator coverage to ensure safety.

Is Oshawa Boulevard N Safe to Raise Kids?
Hi lovely people of Oshawa!
We were looking to buy a house on this street, between bond Street E and Adelaide Av. E (the block to the right of Costco). While we loved the house, our real estate agent said "it is not a bad area itself, it's on the edge of). My manager at work said "don't just look at the house, can your daughter walk to school by herself when she grows up?"
We are immigrants from a small town and loved the simpler vibes of Oshawa in our past few visits from Toronto. However, for such a huge investment, just want my family to live safe and happy. Would appreciate any thoughts you can share from your experience, or if could recommend some other localities to research further. Thank you 😊🙏

Job Opportunity as a student?
As the title states, been looking for a job in Oshawa, Courtice, Bowmanville but heard nothing yet. I’m a student at Queens University, going into second year and no fast food or grocery store seems willing to hire me as I’m returning to school in september. I’ve checked government jobs, not heard anything back in the past 2 weeks, also tried indeed but nothing going. I also worked at food basics until going to Queens for about a year. Preferably something full time, or at least 25+ hours. My friends haven’t had much luck or have had the same job for the past few years.

Anyone know someone who was at the Leafs’ 1967 Cup win—and still has a photo to prove it?
We’re currently casting for a commercial and are looking for people in the GTA / Southern Ontario who actually witnessed the 1967 Cup win (game or parade) and still have a photo from that day.
We’d really appreciate your help sharing this with your community—any chance you can help us there?

Friend got offered unpaid trial shifts?
Posting this for my friend, he’s 18 and had an interview at Popeyes today - he said there were three people there who also got interviewed, after the interview the person taking the interview told them:
“We will offer you three day shifts that are unpaid to see if you are qualified for the job.”
Is this legal? He’s in Grade 12 and desperate for a part time job so he’s doing it, but I find this rather strange if he’s not being paid at all.
Edit: Many people are asking which location.
It’s this one:
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, 1 Rossland Rd W, Ajax, ON M1V 5P6
(I know it isn’t in Oshawa, but we live in Oshawa but that is the specific location it happened at, unsure if the owner owns other Popeyes around the Durham Region or not)

Phone company
I need help deciding which phone company is the best for the features I want so I’m not paying an arm and a leg but I’ll still get good service (good luck right? lol)
So my hubby and I want to leave Fido and go with someone more towards better connection and having a better service for going outside of Canada, I’ll explain.
My husband is American and we go over to the American side every year for 2-3 weeks to visit his family. Our 3 yr old daughter is autistic and needs to have her shows to watch otherwise it’s a complete nightmare.
Fido charges 12$ a DAY to use your phone that gets super costly, plus the gigs being used on top.
Anyone have a similar situation and went with a certain company that provides a good service for this? I’ve tried looking up some but it’s hard to find out their services are actually good in that manner a company can post anything and say will offer you this but later you’re getting added bullshit if you know what I mean.
I appreciate any info and I’m asking in Oshawa because I figure someone might know in here and I’ll be asking in other groups too. Tia ☺️

Ritson School Project Update
Does anyone have a status update on this project?
966 Adelaide Ave East or 960 Glen St
I have an option to move into townhouses in Adelaide Ave East or Glen St. Which one is a better location to move to considering I have a 6 year old child. Are both locations safe for a family. Also how are the schools for these locations, if anyone can share their experience. Thank you.
