I've not signed up for anything that should warrant this, not sure if my number was obtained through a leaked database or some other means but I find this very unbecoming of someone seeking mayorship in Waterloo. The only other instance of non-consenting texting I've received is from Doug Ford so it seems great company for her to be a part of /s

Holy God I went out grocery shopping after about 9 months and holy shit these prices are absolutely nuts. A stick of butter is 8 dollars. 8 freaking dollars. Bananas are like 3 dollars a dozen, God lord.

I'm not sure how families with children are serving if they aren't making over 120k/year. My god this is Robbery in daylight.

Sorry for the rant but just had to get it out. And any tips for buying cheaper groceries are welcomed.

Studying abroad at uwaterloo and I don't want issues

Hello,

I was wondering where I can find something Harry Potter related to gift someone (mugs, wallets, small bag, accessories). The recipient of said gift is someone in her late 20s.

Some alternative gift ideas, if you know if any local shops please let me know!

- embroidery tools (she has a kit but what else might she be interested in? Some unique looking scissors maybe?)

- she's into reading so maybe some custom reading accessories (bookmarks, cute reading light)

Thanks!

There's like 4 types of traffic all going through the intersection (walking, bikes / ebikes, cars and ION) across a tiny intersection with just 1 stop sign (not a 4 way stop) to manage the traffic.

The area is super busy, so many accidents almost happen here just due to all the different speeds of traffic trying to go through this small area.

Stresses me out as both a driver and pedestrian.

I was born and raised in Montreal, and I’m thinking about moving to Waterloo to look for a job in tech (network/systems administration), since finding those in MTL has become dire, even if you can speak both French and English at a native level.

Obviously I don’t wanna be one of those people that gentrifies the hell out of a nice place, I couldn’t afford it even if I wanted to lol, but there’s more to life than just work and tbh, Montreal spoils its inhabitants with so much cultural offerings everywhere you look.

So, if you come from Montreal, or even if you were born in Waterloo, what do you think about your city? Do you think it’s affordable for your situation? What about the job market? Not only in tech but in general, and also, is Waterloo a fun place to be? Are the people nice? Is it easy to make friends?

And how car-centric are you guys? Can I survive on a bike and public transit, I know how to drive but I hate the idea of owning a car.

If I’m gonna move out of my hometown, I’ll do my absolute best to integrate and be a nice, chill person to hang out with, who pays his taxes diligently and contributes to society. But it’s because of that reason that I wanna make sure wherever I move to is worth the effort.

Hey everyone!

I’m living in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and have fallen completely in love with Korean culture. I’m a huge fan of K-pop and K-dramas, but my interest goes way beyond that—I genuinely love learning about the traditions, food, and history, and I am currently trying to learn the language!

I’m hoping to connect with local people who share the same passions. Whether you’re a fellow fan who wants to chat about the latest music or dramas, or someone from the Korean community (whether you're a native speaker or Korean-Canadian) open to a casual language exchange and sharing cultural insights, I’d love to connect.

I'm also really interested in unique cultural intersections, so if there happen to be any other Muslim K-culture fans or Muslim Koreans in the area, I’d love to connect with you too!

Mainly just looking to find a cool, genuine group of people to grab coffee, study, or check out local Korean food spots with.

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're local and want to connect!

I feel like I constantly see horror stories on here about being on the One List for years, not finding the subsidized price care, etc. Does anyone have recent insight into finding childcare, where they were open to private home daycare and not necessarily looking for subsidized pricing? I'm trying to gauge if childcare is a total crapshoot we shouldn't plan on finding at all around KW, or if we will be okay if we budget for higher prices and delay going back to work until 18 months.

When did this start? Thoughts?

I want to know should I go for it? Why is everyone on the internet asking to avoid LK ?

At the very last minute, the Lincoln Heights Neighbourhood Group, VisionWR and waterlooregionvotes.org is organizing an all-candidates meeting for next week: Wednesday, October 21 at the Lincoln Road Chapel, 145 Lincoln Road, Waterloo.

Four of the five candidates have confirmed their attendance, and the fifth will be unable to attend.

Doors open at 6pm. The event starts at 6:30pm. After the formal questions there will be a meet-and-greet from 8:30pm-9:00pm.

All questions for the candidates will come from the audience.

All residents in Waterloo Ward 5 are welcome, and we mean that. We especially would like to get the word out to renters, students in the ward, New Canadians, and members of other groups who are vastly underrepresented in municipal politics.

There will be no livestream (sorry) but we will be recording the meeting and posting it online afterwards.

(Apologies for the multiple reposts and deletes. The last poster contained significant errors -- we misspelled a candidate's name, and got the ending time of the event wrong.)

Found a local Halo 3 LAN running November 28th, it is teams of 4 and I know maybe one person who plays Halo (or plays it well atleast). Anyone here interested in teaming up and going for the cup?

I'm a new student at Laurier university and I'm looking to get some touches in consistently in order to train for the team next year, but I didn't do intramurals and so now I'm looking for a place where I can play, I know there are some apps people use, so if anybody has any information on that aswell that would be great!

Thank you

The region has concluded the test phase of a sidestream water treatment project at the Mannheim Water Treatment Plant that will deliver enough new water capacity to support most of the projected residential growth in Waterloo region through 2031...
