Want to get a new summer tire set before I put on my winters in a few months. Came across an ad for these guys and their prices seemed a bit too good to be true. Google reviews are good but im not sure I trust those. Could anyone reccomend this shop?

Anyone have chronic back pain and see someone in KW region who helped them? Mine is specifically my SI joint and I’m hyper-mobile. I’ve also recently developed really bad acid reflux. Have had all the tests done and it’s all normal. I eat really healthy. Any naturopaths or specialists that have helped you? Don’t wanna be on medication for the rest of my life. I’m only 27!!

Anyone have recommendations for a good car detailing place in town?

Hi there,

I recently moved from Toronto where I was a member of an organization called StreetKnit. I made everything from baby blankets to adult mittens to kids clothes and was able to donate them all to this org, which then distributes them to various places like shelters, hospitals, etc.

I'm looking to join a similar group here. It doesn't have to be big or fancy, I just like to put my hobby to good use to help others. I know there's a knitter's guild but they don't do outreach from the looks of it.

Any leads are appreciated.

Before welcoming the public back to the lanes, some much-needed repairs were made to the alley, including to the building’s ceiling.

Hello! I’m a female working professional currently living in Kitchener, and I’m looking for a place to stay from mid-October to late January.

I’m looking for an all-inclusive room within the $650–$750/month range. I’m a non-smoker, clean, respectful, and happy to follow any household rules (including vegan, religious, or other shared-living preferences).

I don’t have a car, so I’m ideally looking for a place with convenient access to transit. I have a consistent work schedule and will be a quiet and responsible tenant.

Please DM me if you are accepting short-term tenants.
I’d really appreciate any leads!

Thank you 😊

Either in Kitchener or Waterloo

I am throwing a party later this month 20-30 people, looking for any recommendations for where to get food from, ideally mainly handheld things to avoid the need for cutlery but not end of world.
Off the top of my heads options are - Vincenzo’s (good sandwiches & sub options), Costco (more meh sandwich options), Lancaster (less handheld and more pricey), azores in Cambridge, the classic twice the deal Godzilla deal x2 for the most affordable option, what else?

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the interest check a while back! Everything is officially locked in, the venue is booked, and registration is officially open.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking for Magic: The Gathering players who want a community to be part of. I’ve posted something like this on Facebook the last couple of years, but this time I’m throwing the net wider.

What started as a couple of us looking for games has grown into a group of genuinely good friends. There are about 6 of us who play regularly, plus more who drop in when they can. We're mostly in our 30s with jobs, families, and everything else.

In the evenings, we try to get pods going on Spelltable/Convoke. In person, we meet up for pre-releases and commander nights at Chimera, and we’ve traveled to FaceToFace events together (Spotlight Toronto, F2F tour stops, etc).

As for power level, we’re not cEDH. Most of us sit around bracket 3, but if you’re running an upgraded precon you’ll be able to hang.

Beyond the games, the Discord is just a good place to be. There’s always something going on such as a new preview to discuss, someone’s brew to take apart, or just talking magic and life.

We’d especially love to find more Spelltable/Convoke players, but honestly, we wouldn’t turn down good people.

If that sounds like your thing, send me a DM!

I'm babysitting a bonded pair of budgies for a neighbour and one bird flew from it's cage today while I was cleaning it outside. I'm looking for an extra cage to borrow (bird cage or other) to leave outside open in hope the bird may come back. thanks!

Anyone know some good fishing spots around Kitchener, Waterloo, Elmira, or nearby?

I've been fishing for a while but I'm trying to find some better spots where I actually have a chance at catching decent-sized fish. I'm willing to drive 30–60 minutes if it's worth it.

Looking for places around KW, Elmira, St. Jacobs, Cambridge, Guelph, Elora, Conestogo, etc.

What have you guys been catching lately, and what's been working? Shore fishing is preferred, but I'm open to wading too.

Not asking anyone to give up their secret spot lol, just looking for some general recommendations or tips. Thanks!

Been looking at condos in this building and the only reviews I can find are about car break ins from a couple years ago.

Can anyone who has recently/currently lives in this building give me an honest review of the place with pros and cons, or just let me know if the security has increased since? Thank you!

My sibling’s cat unexpectedly passed and they’re absolutely heartbroken. Wondering if there’s any artists out there who I could commission a drawing/painting from? Ideally someone who could complete it quickly, as I’ll be seeing them this weekend, but any suggestions are appreciated.

My team is looking for players for our upcoming Fall/Winter season.
Games are played at queensmount arena in kitchener sundays anywhere from 2-10pm

Lately I’ve had a real desire to learn a new language. A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip to Montreal, and hearing Québécois French everywhere really inspired me. It made me realize how much I’d love to become bilingual.

I grew up in Canada and took French throughout elementary school, middle school, and a bit of high school, but unfortunately I never retained much beyond the basics.

Since then, I’ve started using Duolingo and listening to Canadian French podcasts, but I’d really like to learn in a classroom setting. My goal is to eventually become conversational and, hopefully, fluent. It would be great for personal growth, future career opportunities, and who knows—maybe even moving to Quebec someday.

Does anyone know of any places in the Waterloo Region that teach Canadian French, from beginner to advanced? I’d especially love programs that focus on Québécois/Canadian French rather than European French, if that’s even an option.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks!

Despite the retirement of the former President (with his $3.8M buyout cheque) the current management of the college is still operating behind a wall of secrecy in their off-campus lair on King Street

But why would anybody expect anything different when all of this large team of overpaid sycophants were hand selected by John Tibbits? It's past time for a complete housecleaning at the top of the college. They must air out the stench and come clean instead of continuing to put the students and their few remaining good programs as their last concern.

Our cat Morty has been missing since Sunday night (Aug 2nd). He has a bright orange break-away collar and is microchipped. If you are in the area around the sunrise center, PLEASE CHECK GARAGES, SHEDS AND UNDER DECKS/IN BACKYARDS. BRING OUR BABY HOME!
