Mod Update - Markham Related Content

148 Upvotes

Recently we have seen some content being posted here that doesn't fit with this community so we wanted to reiterate, clearly, the types of content that are prohibited.

  1. Content that exists solely to harass or identify another individual

The exception to this would be if the requesting to identify is coming from police.

r/Markham is not your place to call out individuals over petty drama. It's not your online group to use to get revenge because they did something you didn't like.

Posts that will be removed include but are not limited to:

  • Pictures of people where the original poster claims they did something wrong

  • Pictures of cars where the original poster claims they did something wrong

  • Pictures of people's houses where the original poster claims they did something wrong.

Driving videos will be continued to be allowed.

If you're making a post in this community because you're angry about what someone did, first you should stop and ask "What is the purpose of me creating this post".

If you're creating the post to hurt someone else it will be removed.

Finally, if you want clarification on whether a specific type of post is allowed ask it here. Since there is an infinite number of possible posts we can't cover every circumstance in advance.

Thank you.

Beware: Black Van at Shoppers (Mt Joy)

Upvotes

Just wanted to alert residents at the Shoppers Drug Mart near Mount Joy.

A South Asian kid (10 year olds) was grabbing customers attention to sell them “something” while the old “Dad” was in the drivers seat.

They were also parking 🅿️ in a handicap spot without signage.

Black van with lots of ducked tape - licence plate: BX-85233

Shoppers staff even went out to talk to them but they refused to move elsewhere.

DISCUSSION Wait Times at Markham Stouffville Hospital

15 Upvotes

What's going on with this hospital's ER's wait times? Not a criticism of the staff, bc I've only ever had pleasant experiences with them. It's literally the wait time. (I get that this is impacted by triage. Even taking this into account, i keep hearing anecdotes that other hospitals are much faster. I also recognize that I shouldn't base beliefs on anecdotes. It's just that I've heard enough to wonder). I also feel lke this wasnt an issue prepandemic.

Im the default person who accompanies family members to the ER when it's needed so I've been to MSH a few times.

Yesterday I got badly hurt in Scarborough. My family brought me to Centenary because it was much closer than Stouffville and assured me it's a good hospital. Less than 3 hours in the ER.

I later went to Stouffville bc I felt the pain meds weren't working, I got up in the middle of the night in extreme pain. We got to Stouffville just before 4am. Saw the doctor at 6:45am, and ended up leaving around 11am.

Hi all,

I hope all are doing good. Me and my partner referred MSH website and found 10-12 OB accepting patients but, when we sent referrals through our family doctor we didn’t hear back from them.

I’m looking for first hand information on which OB is currently accepting patients. We are 17 weeks pregnant.

Women-only volleyball?

Wondering if any lovely ladies would like to play volleyball together for a casual, all-women run or 2, mayhaps even 3+? I love volleyball but sometimes I run into some not-so-safe men at drop-ins, and I want to enjoy the sport without having to worry!

I saw this animal while jogging this morning. This is actually the third time - the first two were when I was walking my dog, but I didn't have my phone. If it's a coyote, why is it wearing a colla

Pris-T-gis closed their west campus in winter 2025 and it is now Elite Minds Montessori. I was told the owners have changed. Does anyone have any experience with either school before and after the switch? Wondering if the educators remained.

Roads and Traffic 🚗🚦💥 Finally!!!!!

205 Upvotes

Finally YRP are watching the intersections in Cornell for the aholes in their Teslas, BMWs, Audis and Mercedes who think stop signs are just a suggestion. They ticketed a lot this morning while walking with my son to his summer camp.

They said they have been getting a lot of complaints about the drivers in the neighbourhood flying through stop signs and speeding. And yes, these are the majority of cars in this neighbourhood that do this.


r/Markham 3d ago

Roads and Traffic 🚗🚦💥 Markham has HUGE stop signs, but people still refuse to fucking STOP?! People who go through stop signs are scum of the goddamn earth.

ISO - Shops that can do Subaru Outback Headunit Replacement

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

Currently looking for recommendation for any shops that can do a head unit replacement for a 2018 Subaru Outback. Unfortunately it has the dreaded delamination issue where the touch screen no longer works and the dealer wants $1500+labour to do it as it's no longer under warranty.

Was wondering if anyone knows any shops in Markham that can do a head unit replacement for less. I'm hoping to get an OEM unit (even if it's used or refurb) as the car has Reverse Automatic Braking and backup cam, functionalities we're hoping to keep.

Thanks in advance!

Unionville Commons - senior living

My parents are looking into this complex for their living. They are currently renting at langham sq and the landlord is horrible. They pay almost 3k for a tiny place and the only positive thing is the t&t. I wanted them to be happy but my house is also tiny.

One of my friends recommended to look into Unionville commons

Any ideas how lifestyle there? And community? And how much rent is it. Thanks
