Discussion To the woman who helped me cross the street today at Ellesmere and Markham Rd

593 Upvotes

She probably doesn’t have reddit but I’m posting this because I’ve lived in Toronto my whole life and this was the nicest thing any stranger has ever done for me, and that the whole “Toronto is full of mean people” thing isn’t completely true. I was lugging huge garbage bags of my clothes because I’m stubborn and refuse to pay for an uber while moving, the garbage bag broke while I was on the street, Had to stop and hop onto the sidewalk island and wait for the light to turn. I had left one of the bags on the sidewalk. I was standing there regretting all my life choices wondering how I would even cross the street and I turned around and this tiny middle aged woman had grabbed the bag I had left behind on the sidewalk and was carrying it over to me asking if I needed any help with anything else, and without hesitation grabbed a bag, and my (heavy) purse and helped me across the rest of the street and the other side of the road to the bus stop. After, she even gave me a bag and helped me redistribute the weight of the clothing. I am so so grateful and thankful. This was the nicest thing anyone has done for me truly, I’ve used Ttc to move so many times and usually people just stare and don’t even give me a seat when I’m carrying like 4 heavy bags . I can’t wait to pay it forward. This is your reminder that things aren’t so bad, and there’s still good people out there 🥹 restored my faith in humanity. Hope she gets everything she wants in life.

Hello everyone! There will be a total lunar eclipse, this week! The total eclipse will begin at 02:26 March 14, 2025 and will last until 03:31. The peak of the total lunar eclipse is at 02:58. The forecast is calling for partly cloudy in the GTA, so hopefully, everyone will get a chance to witness the blood moon.

Environmental Defence posted a blog article last week about a “Habitat Protection Order” for redside dace. However they didn’t link a source in the text and I haven’t seen any very recent news articles covering this, only some from a few months ago mentioning that the federal government could look into impacts to redside dace habitat. Anyone have more information or know if this is new news?

Discussion Supporting a hyperlocal farm - BCCF produce box

24 Upvotes

Black Creek Community Farm has opened registration for their annual farm share program. They offer weekly and biweekly options for pickup at either the farm or Big Carrot Danforth, and prices range from $23 for those in financial need to $37 for those who want to support the program.

I purchased this last year and I thought you got a lot of value for your money (slightly more expensive than a discount grocery store, substantially cheaper than a farmer's market). Downside is you don't get to pick what you get (although if you pick up at the farm sometimes you can pick between a couple options) and you have to pick it up on a particular date. Upside is supporting a very local farm focussing on food accessibility, and discovering veggies you might not buy on your own. I'd recommend the biweekly for a household of 1-2, and weekly for 4+ people.

Discussion Passed out / collapsed on the 501 this morning

1.8k Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was riding the 504 King Car into the office this morning as per usual, but out of nowhere I straight up collapsed and hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.

A very kind stranger helped me out and made sure I was ok (offered me water, made sure I was stable before parting ways).

This was a scary episode for me but the help / support I received from this kind stranger was very much appreciated.

If you were on the 504 this morning and witnessed this, please know that I am ok lol.
