Questions, a problem with the Things To Do Locally app, or an event listing that looks wrong? Email us at [email protected] and we will reply, usually within two business days.

If something does not work in the app, tell us your phone model, its software version and the app version (at the bottom of Settings in the app).

Do I need an account?

No. The app works without signing up. It keeps your choices on your phone.

How do I change my regions or towns?

In the app, open Settings. You can follow one region or several, as whole regions or single towns.

I do not get alerts

1. In the app, open Settings and make sure the alerts you want are on.
2. If notifications show as off, open your phone's settings and allow notifications for Things To Do Locally.

Weekend picks arrive on Thursday evenings. School alerts go out the evening before a PA day. Weather alerts follow Environment Canada warnings for the areas you follow.

How do reminders work?

Open an event and tap Remind to get a notification the day before, the morning of, or two hours before. Reminders are set on your phone, so they work without an internet connection.

How do I join or leave the newsletter?

Join from Settings in the app. We email you a link to confirm before we send anything. To leave, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any newsletter.

How do I delete my data?

In the app, tap Delete my data in Settings on iPhone, or in the You tab on Android. This removes your saved events and preferences from our servers and from your phone. See our Privacy Policy.

An event is wrong or cancelled

Most listings come from local libraries and municipal event calendars, and each event links to the original listing. Details can change, so check with the organizer before you go. If something is wrong, email [email protected] with a link to the event.

How do I add my event?

Organizers can submit events for free on each local site: York Happening, Durham Happening, Halton Local.
