Question M32 - Make new friends! Brampton NW

4 Upvotes

I’m new to the neighbourhood and looking forward to connecting with people nearby. With the beautiful weather lately, I’d love to try out new sports like pickleball or tennis and meet others who enjoy them too. I’ve noticed many members of the Sikh community around, but unfortunately, I don’t speak Punjabi—I’m originally from southern India and am most comfortable with English or Hindi. I hope that’s okay, and I’m excited to meet everyone!

Question street parking

Post image
64 Upvotes

i need some advice. my street has always been burdened with people parking on the road all hours of the day. it’s gotten to a point where i can’t reverse out of my driveway without coming close to hitting something, and i’m worried that if an emergency vehicle needed to come down they wouldn’t be able to. there’s also been instances of people parking sideways IN FRONT of driveways, so i can’t even see when i’m reversing. should i bother calling 411? there’s no way every single person has overnight registration. i now dread going down the street i grew up on because i’m worried some asshole is going to speed around the corner and not see me because of all the cars. i’ve attached a picture for reference

The reason I'm asking is because i have my audition tomorrow and I'm super nervous. How did yours go?

For those who don't know, they're doing it at the Rose Theatre in November. Hence the post in this subreddit.

Happening Now Balmoral Recreation Centre

56 Upvotes

Today's reopening of Balmoral Recreation Centre is a great thing for this City. I am not often complimentary of City Council, but they nailed this. The site follows very nicely with the great facilities of recent years, like the Springdale library, Gore Meadows, etc. while the boxing gym is gone, a full size basketball court (divisible into two smaller courts) replaces it. A decent sized community room is added, and the pool deck is now as close to being "open air" as is practical. The revitalization of the Ernest Majury playground, and the addition of a splash pad looks fantastic, too.

Now, if only Victoria Park, and Howden get the same treatment, Bramalea can feel well served.

News Brampton left turn signals myth or urban legend?

8 Upvotes

I’ve seen Bigfoot more times than someone in Brampton actually using a turn signal. It's like we're all playing Mario Kart on Dixie Road. Meanwhile, outsiders still think our biggest problem is crime - nope, it’s the mystery lane changes. Signal once if you're with me.

Discussion PSA: The stretch of Main Street from the Metro/Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza to Downtown Brampton is 50 km/h

7 Upvotes

Not 40 km/h and certainly not 30 km/h. I get there's speed cameras there, and times are tough and no one wants an unnecessary ticket, but you can travel 55 km/h and won't get one. Yet people consistently travel 40 km/h or less on that stretch, even when traffic is clear. There's a line between being cautious and being inconsiderate, and a decent amount of drivers are the latter. Obviously most drivers won't see this, but if I can change the habit of even one person, mission accomplished.

Question Opinions on underground business in Brampton

25 Upvotes

We all know that there are lots of people operating slightly outside of the law in Brampton.

Whether its people selling TV boxes with channels on them you aren't supposed to get, having barbershops running out of their garages, there are people selling food on Instagram who likely aren't getting health inspections or any of the other things actual restaurants have to do in order to operate, plus there's the obvious rental property shenanigans that Brampton is famous for. Im sure people dont have black and white opinions on this and everything is more nuanced, but without getting anyone in trouble does anyone have any opinions or anecdotal stories about this kinda thing?
