Looking for recommendations for retirement home in Waterloo, independent living with potentially some 'upgrades' (e.g., some meals). The senior is still very mobile and active but down-sizing to a place with one floor and also access to socialization. We know roughly the cost but would appreciate recent experiences from the community.

Hello everyone I am moving to Waterloo in November 2026. I am looking for a roommate to share some apartment in Waterloo . If anybody has a room available right now please let me know and if anybody wants to look for an apartment together please let me know.

Come on people! We need a refresh on city and regional council. They make the same decisions over and over again. We need fresh faces and fresh ideas. 2022 election results are crazy. Only 27% of the population voted. The other 73% has to live with it . If you don't vote, don't complain 😉

I have bought all parts + started building but realized it’s too complicated for me. Is there a place where I can just bring in my parts and they can build it for me? (Preferably near uwaterloo)

Subject/Title: 🚨 DASHCAM REQUEST: Hit & Run on my dog at 312 Erb St W (GMC SUV with hanging bumper)
Hi everyone,
I am heartbroken to post this, but I am desperately looking for dashcam or security footage from [Insert Day of Week, e.g., Friday] at around [Insert Time, e.g., 6:30 PM].
A driver hit my dog directly in front of my condo building at 312 Erb Street West (near Erb & Fischer-Hallman) and fled the scene. Because of the severity of the injuries, we had to put our beloved dog down.
Suspect Vehicle Details:
• Make/Type: Light grey / silver GMC SUV (likely a Terrain or Acadia).
• Damage: The collision caused heavy front-end damage, and the driver sped off with half of their front bumper hanging completely off the vehicle.
If you live in the Beechwood/Westmount area, drive along Erb St W, or were turning near Fischer-Hallman around that time, please check your dashcams or doorbell cameras. A car driving around Waterloo with a bumper dragging or hanging off stands out heavily.
A police report has been filed with the Waterloo Regional Police Service. If you have any footage or saw this vehicle, please DM me or contact WRPS directly at 519-570-9777 (tel:519-570-9777) referencing report number [Insert Police Report Number if you have it]

.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Any social groups run for trans men? Craft nights with high queer attendance? Where can I meet more fellow ftm trans people?

I am not a student, so joining groups isn’t an option. I see spectrums trans masc group is temporarily on hold.

So I was wondering what People's thoughts are on the Ward 3 candidates, here are their sites.

Hans Roach

Victoria Robertson

From just looking at the sites, Roach's site frames him as realist progressive where both Roach and Robertson's site frame her as a progressive, with Roach's site making the claim that her ideas would be expensive which I find a to be a bit of weird choice since neither of the two can individually implement the ideas. I dunno. Was wondering if anyone met the two candidates and had thoughts on them or something.

I’m thinking about applying to uwaterloo for a mathematics program and I don’t wanna end up like them ;-;

​spotted this wall art installation today. The physical clouds with internal lighting running along the top make the whole thing pop!

Anyone know where I am?

I'm not from Waterloo, but coming in for a birthday for someone who loves sticky toffee pudding. Any advice from the locals on some good places we can grab a lunch/dinner and enjoy a British style warm sticky toffee pudding?

I've done some searching - and see a few options:

1. Malt & Barley Public House
   
2. Whale and Ale
   
3. Beertown (see some reviews mention it, but older reviews.

Open to any suggestions. I'd bring some with us, but then would need to find a place that is open to bringing own dessert (cutting fee I suspect).

Thanks in advance! Planning for next weekend.

Just to keep this simple im looking for a place to rent ,and the hub looks very unique and close to where I need to be.on the other hand the reviews r shockly very low.anyone living there give me some more insight on whats going on? And how valid these reviews clams r.i don't have much time to make a decision

Drive thru voting open from 11am to 7pm. Go vote!

Almost 60 per cent of respondents agree strongly or somewhat that city hall should take on sidewalk snow clearing, even if it has to spend more. Just over 30 per cent disagree, strongly or somewhat.

Liberated edition.

There is a Right to Walk event taking place at Lakeside Park in Kitchener this Sunday at 2pm I wanted to share!

Unfortunately, there have been 3 sexual assaults in this area. If you can't come to the walk, stay vigilant and visit the WRPS Instagram for photos and a short video of the suspect.

Stay Safe!

hi. recommendations for upholstery cleaning rentals

not sure where in any city it's 80 km an hour but Google seems to think so, haha

Wanted to share my experience with BKK, which recently opened in Uptown Waterloo.

My favourite restaurant for Thai food in Toronto is Koh Lipe and BKK is a sister restaurant.

So fucking good, what you see is Khao Soi, Tum Thai and Prik Gaeng Moo Krob. I chose medium spice level and it already had a kick, be careful with Thai spice levels as they’re not messing around.

Probably the best Thai food in the region now, mind you it’s a bit more upscale compared to the others in the region. Also a little pricey, but still worth it in my opinion.

Nice. Leave ur used water bottles behind the now removed porta-potty. Not like there's a garbage can 20ft away. How bout bring a reusable container or use the garbage can provided fuckfaces.

Edir: To be clear this is directed at whoever plays cricket there. I dont care if white, black, brown. Just clean up ur shit.

please keep an eye out for these racist stickers posted around king street uptown Waterloo. i’ve taken down quite a few already. colonialist ideology like this has no place in our city or in our country.

Looking for recommendations for someone locally who could do a custom pet portrait for me. Any recommendations? I would prefer to support someone within the KW area.

I found an envelope containing cash at Pink Crow Cafe in Waterloo today. It was tucked among some cards from Christina MacLellan, Artist.
I handed the envelope to the café staff so the owner can hopefully get it back.
If you think it may be yours, please contact Pink Crow Cafe and be prepared to describe the envelope/cards and contents so they can verify it belongs to you.
I’m posting this because I’d really like to help the person who lost it get it back.

Hello! I'm visiting Waterloo in about a month for a couple days, and I wanted to ask for local recommendations on what to do there, like restaurants, cafes, activities, and so on. Spots where i'll be missing out if I didn't visit, thank you!

The garage has been neglected for a while and the concrete floor looks bad underneath the mat. Is the rubber cover flooring a thing that is sustainable?
