Megathread Are you looking for places to meet people, make friends, find people with similar interests? The Kitchener Social Megathread is for you!
Hello everyone,
This thread will be 100% dedicated to user interaction and those who want to take personal interests, events, hobbies, and potential meet-ups, etc. outside of the realm of reddit and r/kitchener.
You can find previous versions of this post by using this premade search.
\Please note that this is not intended to be a dating thread. Try Tinder, POF, Badoo, Bumble or any other of the apps out there. Any posts along the lines of* "Hey, I'm a single __ year old m/f looking for love" will be removed\*
Some general housekeeping items;
- If you wish to continue a conversation with a user, please use the PM function to avoid the comments getting crammed with a conversation between all but two people. Please only post relevant information to things you would be interested in, ongoing events, etc.
- We would like to remind you of the zero tolerance for disrespect, rude, hateful comments, racism, etc. Those comments will be removed and users may face a permanent or temporary ban. If any harassment is reported outside of the thread, appropriate action will be taken by the mod team, and possibly lead further to reddit admin. Doxxing, or disclosure of personal information is again, a big no-no.
- To keep up to date with the most recent posts within this megathread, the comments have been enabled to ideally show most recent by default, meaning all of the newest posts will be at the top of the comments section. If you're not seeing the most recent comments at the top, try changing your "sort by:" from "top" to "New".
As always, the mod team is here to assist with anything. Thanks!
Note: This post is automatically replaced with a new one every 3 months, so be sure to checkout old meetup threads, especially if this post was just recently refreshed!

Victoria & Lackner Intersection - Tim Hortons
Can we please talk about the absolute disaster that is the traffic situation around the Victoria and Lackner Tim Hortons? It seems like a massive chunk of drivers in this area completely forgot how basic roadway rules function. That Tim Hortons exit is already incredibly busy, and everything gets completely backed up and held up even worse when a train passes by. It requires everyone to have a little patience, but instead, it brings out the absolute worst driving.
First, a quick refresher on the Ontario Highway Traffic Act: if you are exiting private property or a commercial driveway (like Tim Hortons), you do not have the right of way. Traffic already on Lackner Blvd has the absolute right of way. You are legally required to wait until there is a safe gap to pull out. Nosing your car into oncoming traffic and forcing people to slam on their brakes to let you out isn't "zipper merging"—it’s cutting people off.
Second, the left-turn lane there is explicitly designed for drivers to turn left onto Victoria. It is not a staging area or a shortcut lane for people trying to manipulate their way into or out of the Tim Hortons. Stop using it incorrectly and blocking people who are actually trying to navigate the intersection.
To the man who screamed at a woman and called her a whore because she wouldn't let someone butt into traffic from the Tims exit—all while you were sitting the completely wrong way in the left-turn lane and blocking traffic we hope you have a wonderful day.

Telus knocked on my door, wants to install fiber infrastructure on my house
Their cables have been sticking out of my yard (and the whole block) for a couple of months now since they installed them in the summer.
Some guy in a HV vest just knocked on my door and asked for my consent to install infrastructure on my house. He wasn't full of information... just a guy at the end of his day. I told him I'd look this up before I gave any consent.
So I have been trying to look it up. Lots of links to Telus service and privacy statements, nothing at all from the City of Kitchener.
I don't know what consent in this case means. I have internet over cable that I'm quite satisfied with just now, I am not anxious for fiber and would rather not have to deal with it.
I don't feel obligated to help Telus roll out its network, but I'm not a refusenick... just don't want to be pressured.
Does anyone have some actual information about this they would be willing to share?

Does anyone know any businesses that do this? I tried searching online but couldn't find anything in the area.

Bingemans Scream Park- claustrophobic?
Has anyone here been to the scream park this year?
’m heading there tonight and starting to get very anxious as I just read in the FAQ that it’s not advised for people with claustrophobia. Some of what they describe though sounds fine to me- narrow paths, total darkness or surrounded by fog. I’m not bothered by enclosed spaces (like an elevator for example) but by the feeling of being stuck and not able to get free.
I’ve gotten panicky in fun house mirror mazes, or one where the walls are inflatable and you have push through as they close behind you. I also won’t crawl into a tunnel if I can’t see the other end. Walking into a tunnel is fine, or crawling through one where I can see the exit is fine.
I’ve never been to any of these types of attractions before, so I’m curious about the chickening out options- like will I know a claustrophobic part is coming up and can opt out of it and rejoin later? Or is it all or nothing?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. It’s always the not knowing what to expect that’s the worst lol

Anyone know what’s happening at Pioneer Park Plaza right now? Tons of cops
Drove past the plaza a few minutes ago and the intersection near the Circle K is absolutely packed with police cruisers. Looks like they have a section taped off or at least a major presence concentrated right there.
Does anyone know what went down? Hope everyone is okay.

I do not want to deal with Facebook marketplace or private sale hassle. Are there any shops or companies locally that will ideally buy or just take very lightly used Michelin Ice X tires on steel rims?
