CivicBulletin
Deals, events & alerts nearby
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now covering the whole GTA: hazards, closures, deals, events & playgrounds — live on one map, reported by neighbours. Free, no ads, no account needed to browse.
CivicBulletin is a real-time, map-first community reporting app covering the entire Greater Toronto Area. Neighbours report what's happening nearby — right now — and everyone around them sees it live on one map, confirmed and kept current by the community itself.
WHAT'S LIVE ON THE MAP
• Hazard — road hazards, downed trees, anything unsafe
• Construction — roadwork, lane closures, detours
• Event — pop-ups, markets, community gatherings
• Deal — local offers and promotions from nearby businesses
• Playground — condition, crowd level, and amenities
• Local Buzz — anything else worth knowing about your block
Three more categories fill in automatically, even before anyone's reported anything: live road-closure data, York Region and Toronto Police open safety data, and nearby restaurants and indoor playgrounds pulled from open map data — including real-time open/closed status.
BUILT ON TRUST, NOT JUST POSTS
Every report can be confirmed or flagged by people nearby, and a report that gets clearly outvoted quietly disappears — no manual moderation queue, no waiting. Like a post to show it's useful. Post authors can pin the single most helpful comment to the top of the thread. Report and block tools keep the community clean.
REPORT IN SECONDS
Pick a category, add a title and an optional photo — snap it right there in the app — set how long it should stay live, and it's on the map instantly for everyone nearby. Playground, Event, and Deal pins support a proximity-verified claim for points.
NEVER MISS WHAT'S NEARBY
Turn on notifications and get pinged whenever anyone posts near you — any category, not just hazards — so you find out about a closed road or a pop-up market the moment your neighbours do.
WHERE IT WORKS
CivicBulletin covers the whole Greater Toronto Area: Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Scarborough, North York, and everywhere between.
FREE, WITH NO CATCH
Browsing the live map and feed is completely free, with no account required and no ads. Create a free account only when you want to post, save, vote, or comment.

Ratings & Reviews

New in this update:
• Like posts — tap the heart on any pin to show it's useful, from the newest hazard to the best local deal.
• Pin a comment — post authors can now pin the most helpful comment to the top of the thread.
• Choose your report's duration — pick exactly how long a hazard or construction report should stay live, instead of a fixed default.
• Snap a photo in-app — take a picture straight from the report screen, no more switching to your camera app first.
• Notified for every nearby pin — not just hazards anymore: get notified when anyone posts near you, in any category.
• Under-the-hood reliability pass: fixed a Like button bug, tightened up voting, and hardened several backend services against abuse.
