I received the WORST service and food at this location. I contacted head office with no reply. I have strong suspicions about who they treat better than others. Has anyone else had a negative experience eating here?

What would actually make you vote in Richmond Hill?

8 Upvotes

Roughly 1 in 3 eligible voters decided the whole council in 2022 — turnout was about 32%.

Online voting opens Tuesday, Oct 20 at 10 AM. In-person voting runs Oct 24–26.
So, honest question: what would make you vote this time?

If you could pick the issues that would actually get you to the ballot box, what would they be? A few to start:

• Respect for taxpayers' dollars — spending reviewed before taxes go up
• Leaders with vision and real leadership skills — and a vision for where Richmond Hill is headed
• A real downtown core
• Recreational infrastructure that actually gets built — pools, arenas, courts, community centres
• Growth that keeps pace with population — infrastructure before development, not years after
• Budget transparency — knowing where the money goes
• Housing people who grew up here can afford
• Transit and traffic that work as the city grows
• Parks, trails, and green space protected as we intensify

Which of these matter most to you? What would you add? And if you sat out 2022 — what would it take to bring you in this time?

Friendships over 40? 😫

38 Upvotes

I moved to Richmond hill 4years ago and it’s been extremely difficult to make new friendships. Im a married female 43years old and I have 12year old son. Looking for a friend to chat, to hang out with, somewhere to eat or drink, movies, kids play date, go to yoga, workout, you name it! I love weight lifting, avid gym goer, MOVATI Richmond hill gym. If you too are looking for a friendship, don’t be shy to drop a Dm :)

Ward 5: Did You Know Your Councillor Pleaded Guilty to Fraud?

48 Upvotes

Ward 5 has 30,925 residents, according to the 2021 Census. Yet in the last municipal election, Karen Cilevitz won with just 1,525 votes.

What some residents may not know is that Karen Cilevitz pleaded guilty to fraud under $5,000 in July 2022, just months before that election.

She received a three-month conditional sentence and was required to make restitution to the City of Richmond Hill.

This raises a question I think every resident should consider:

After a councillor has pleaded guilty to fraud involving public funds, how much trust do you have in their handling of your tax dollars?

Regardless of your political views, accountability and transparency should matter in local government. Residents deserve to know about the records of the people representing them.

And with another municipal election approaching, this is an opportunity to have that conversation.

Please vote, encourage your friends and family to vote, and make sure Ward 5's future reflects the voices of its residents!

YOU CAN VOTE ONLINE!

Richmond Hill residents have multiple ways to cast their ballots:

  • Online voting: October 20–26, 2026
  • In-person voting: October 24–26, 2026
  • Election Day: Monday, October 26

You can vote online from home using the information in your Voter Information Package. You don't need to visit a polling station.

You can explore the Toronto Star's Vote Compass:

Municipal councillors make decisions about our neighbourhoods, roads, development and property taxes. It's worth spending a few minutes researching their records and understanding your options before casting your ballot.

Power Flickered 3 Times This Morning

I am the unfortunate "jobless young guy" so I'm kinda doing anything these days, lookin for a job is going nowhere and my sleep schedules a wreck; Im playing a game this morning (10/16) and the power has flickered **3** times this morning alone. What the actual fuck are we paying these power companies for? And the worst part is I found a post from 8 months ago talking about the same issue??? Sorry for the rant but I just really hate this city sometimes.

Richmond Hill homebuyers, homeowners and agents: share your home-search experience

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re a team of University of Toronto students working on a course project about home searches, and Richmond Hill is one of the communities we’re focusing on.

We’re interested in how people balance practical needs, family preferences, and traditions such as Feng Shui or Vastu when choosing a home. You don’t need to follow either tradition to participate.

If you’re searching or planning to buy in Richmond Hill, have bought a home here, or work here as a licensed agent or broker, we’d appreciate your input.

The questionnaire takes 10–15 minutes, or 7–10 minutes for agents. We don’t ask for your name; responses are used only for our CSC454 project and reported in summary form.

Take the questionnaire [link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfBHeIMHIaXEnJrB_FBF2FXANqxCvMvnhcfTd0CDuKUh6IWkg/viewform ]

Thank you!

Do you think there's really a gravy train running through Richmond Hill City Hall? :)

12 Upvotes

We keep hearing promises about cutting waste and lowering taxes, but I wonder how much we could actually save. Could the bigger problem be the cost of maintaining all the roads, pipes, parks and facilities we keep building? And why do we judge councillors by what new things they build rather than how well they maintain what we already have? I wrote a little about this , but I'm curious what others think. Where do you see the biggest waste of taxpayers' money in Richmond Hill?

Aloha!

I know promotion rules are strict here, so I wanted to check before posting.

I am looking to transfer the remaining 3 months of my personal training contract at the Richmond Hill Movati club to another local member. There is no business profit or sign-up link involved - it is just a direct contract transfer allowed by the gym terms

Am I okay to post this on here, or should I wait until Tuesday's promotional thread?

Pls let me know. Thank youuu!
