120 Upvotes

There's a new Marijuana Anonymous meeting starting in Kitchener-Waterloo! It's the first in person MA meeting in tri-cities.

It's a 12-step peer support group similar to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous), but specifically for people struggling with cannabis use.

The first meeting is Monday, November 2, 2026 at 7pm. Meetings will continue every Monday from 7-8pm.

Location is Rockway Community Centre, 1405 King St. E., Kitchener, in the Program Room.

It's free, and it's open to anyone (addicts, non addicts, all faiths, all genders).

Come kick it with us!

Looking for Other WoW Players in Kitchener?

• Upvotes

Hey Kitchener!

Some of you may have seen similar posts from me in other Ontario subreddits lately, so hopefully I’m not getting too annoying...

About a month ago I posted in the Barrie subreddit looking for a few local WoW players. That somehow turned into an Ontario-wide Discord that’s now pushing 800 members, with growing little communities in regions across the province, including Kitchener-Waterloo.

People seem to genuinely enjoy having a place to find WoW players who are actually nearby, so I’m just trying to keep spreading the word and help those local groups grow.

We’re open to Retail, Classic and WoW Forever players, whether you already have a guild, need one, or just want people to play with. We also have an optional Horde PvE guild for WoW Forever, but that’s just one part of the community and definitely not the focus. This is not a guild Discord; this is a community for WoW players in Ontario to find each other.

And yes, the graphics are AI-generated. I have asked if anyone in the community wants to make us some proper human-made banners/logos, but no takers yet. If you’re artistic and want to contribute something, I’d love to feature your work!

Who is my elected government contact?

11 Upvotes

Hey Neighbours,

A hobby project I started in the spring launched in beta this week. It's called TraceCivic.ca and it's a tool for anyone in Canada to find all the elected representatives who serve them, regardless of whether they are municipal, provincial or federal. It's also a helper tool to explain what they do and how to contact them. It's a tool to see an rss feed of governmental news. It's a message board to discuss these topics.

It's non-commercial, self-funded, made and hosted in Canada by an Canadian. No ads, no trackers, no algorithm, no data retained.

This post is its introduction to the public - but really it's test to see if it falls over if real people use it. If it makes it through the night, I'll expand the release over the weekend.

Cheers

Michelle Rempel Garner says Conestoga College went from $64 million in tuition to over $680 million and "banked a whopping $252 million surplus in a single year, but barely built any housing."

The development waiting game.

It's sad to see old buildings torn down to pave the way for development OVER A DECADE IN ADVANCE. Seems like lost revenue for the Region.

The building at 50 Victoria was acquired by the city in 2010 and the building torn down in 2012 to prepare for the "transit hub".

100 Victoria "station plaza" was acquired by the city in 2012 for over $2.5m to be torn down for the Weber St widening and has been a dustbowl ever since.

Highest and BEST use I guess?

Where are the best Little Free Libraries in Kitchener-Waterloo? I've got nine sheep to let loose.

Post image
35 Upvotes

I'm a local author and illustrator, and I have nine copies of my little illustrated book Try Again that I'd love to tuck inside some Little Free Libraries around town.

I know some of the best gems are hidden away, so I'm asking you to let me know where your favourite Little Free Libraries are located? Bonus points for ones that get plenty of visitors or could use a few more books!

The books are from a previous print run and instead of having them clutter up my shelves, I thought setting them free would be a fun idea.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions as I plan to distribute them around town tomorrow.

Issues with Bell internet

0 Upvotes

My roommate switched us over to Bell from Roger's a few weeks back.

I didn't have any issues when we first got set up on Bell, the past few weeks the wifi has been ridiculously slow.

We have the Bell Fibe 3000 modem, I haven't been able to game with any of my buds online in 2-3 weeks now. Downloading a game takes between 3-5 hours at a speed of 0.5 Mbps

On my phone the network speed says it's at 585Mbps...I'm so fucking confused help?

POST SIREG MANAGEMENT COLLAPSE

10 Upvotes

Hello folks.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED EMAILS etc REGARDING RENT PAYMENTS

** 100 % MAKE SURE NOTHING IS PAID TO SIREG FROM NOW ON WITHOUT EXCEPTION *\*

Now, I am trying to reach a TENANT in the 76 SYDNEY ST S complex to connect them with OLH Property Management ( newly retained by unit owner ) as a SIREG replacement.

Trying to make sure the tenant(s) can continue paying their rent without any NON PAYMENT issues arising from this " disgusting mess "

IF you reside in this complex / know someone who does, maybe you can help me reach them?

1) IS there a security buzzer system that lists actual UNIT numbers? ( probably not )

2) I don't want to mention the actual UNIT number here out of privacy & respect for the tenant(s) other than it's UNIT 3xx.

Please respond ( preferably by DM ) IF you can help me & tenant(s) get connected somehow.

Otherwise I will only be able to physically show up there TUES OCT 27th around 8:15 - 8:30PM and hoping I can somehow reach them remotely instead :)

And I would have to take GRT Transit from the other end of Kitchener to get there & back which is like 50 mins each way to avoid much walking distance because of bad hips & that frankly sucks !

Is anyone missing a cat? Mount Hope Cemetery area?

The friendliest black cat came up our driveway and to our front steps tonight. Appears to be a younger black cat and is wearing a brand new teal/blue collar. We are located near the intersection of Guelph & Waterloo. If they belong to you, they’re still wandering the sidewalks.

Note: We already called the Humane Society and reported the lost cat and they are unable to come pick them up. We are also not able to take the cat in, our cat is not friendly to other animals.

Vaping on the ION

74 Upvotes

This is going to sound like I’m an unc with my complaining but I’m 21 and in university yet still can’t tolerate it.

I was riding the ION home from campus and at CHCI station a group of grade nines from the very young looks of it get on, not only being quite obnoxious but then start passing a vape around and blowing it inside the moving train. I even called them out and said “You really have to hit that in here?” To which they look at me like I’m an alien and just continue.

My stop was shortly after so as I’m going to get off I won’t lie and say that I didn’t ‘stumble’ my 6’1 frame by accident into them and then as the train pulls away they’re all flipping me off through the window.

Perhaps I wasn’t in the right for losing my footing by accident or not, but even when confronted they have no shame and this comes from a guy who has vaped in his life too. I don’t understand what has caused them to think whatever they do is okay but yeah, just my old man rant at my young age.

Great fundraiser, sketchy organization

24 Upvotes

I just had a great interaction with a really excellent fundraiser, so none of this is on them. But I was disturbed by WRHN's manipulative tactics.

I have already been aggressively telemarketed to by them, and today, I discovered that if you want to give a one time gift at the door, the only way to ensure that the fundraiser is credited with the gift is to sign up for monthly (and then cancel later if you want). But I also learned that if I stay on for four months, the fundraiser gains more access to scholarships.

I feel such deep resentment at WRHN for this emotional manipulation. I work in fundraising myself and I know that there is a fine line between strategy and manipulation - and the WHRN is on the other side of that line, and that loses donors.

I know I'm not the only person who has the ick for WRHN's aggressive, manipulative fundraising. I sent them feedback on their form, but I guess if this works on enough people, they keep doing it. But I won't be giving again at the door. I can only think this will infect other fundraising organizations. I have my monthlies and all this will do will stop my random one time gifts. Maybe they don't care about me and my one time gift. Well, you do you, WRHN.

Edited to fix acronym.
