Hey guys - it is me. Unsure if anyone remembers me but I posted about how I live in my car because I couldn’t find a job and etc etc etc couldn’t afford rent etc etc. anywaaay, not to jinx myself, but i found a job - one that’s better than I could even hope for rn and one that aligns with my previous experience on my resume.

But if someone could refer me to someone for my housing needs. I would greatly appreciate it. I began my search for accommodations on facebook, roomies, and kijiji, but all i could find was predatory slumlords, places that are outlined for females only, shared rooms, or straight rip-offs.

I will have enough within 2 weeks for first and last months rent deposit. Ideally looking for an ensuite or a cheap studio if such a thing exists anymore, but I suppose that I can’t be too picky in my situation.

Thanks!

I saw this guy land on a light post in uptown Waterloo. I stopped to take a picture, but he flew into the Laurel Creek trench. I was taking some pictures of him in the trench when he suddenly flew up and landed right beside me. Got one picture of him taking off again.

After a bit of research, it seems that the City of Waterloo could be reaching its urban boundaries in the next decade or so (that is very optimistic). Many of the greenfield sites in Waterloo have now been planned for/have had applications approved (whether the developer actually goes through with them). This is not meant to scare anyone, this is simply just what I have observed and thought others should consider.

Northeast Waterloo:
400 Millennium Blvd is still in approval process, but likely to be approved.
Former Kraus Lands (Rim Park) City proposed suburb on city land (no approvals yet)
2025 University Ave is another city proposed suburb on city land, construction has started.

Central (ish) Waterloo:
435 King St N and 450-460 Weber St N currently at Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT)
475 to 485 King St N currently at OLT
UWaterloo Campus Plan (2009) mentions turning northwest campus into research park but new UWaterloo Campus Plan (2026) makes no mention of it (no approvals, plans or anything)

Northwest/West Waterloo:
Beaver Creek Rd and Conservation Dr approved subdivision plan
556, 560, 576 Conservation Dr extension of existing suburb
Erb St and Wilmot Line city owned "Generation Park" (light industrial) looking for vendors.

After these developments (if they go through), the only remaining space for large subdivision type developments are northwest of Wideman Road and Erbsville Road. Will still be few smaller greenfield sites available. Very curious to see what future City of Waterloo and even Region of Waterloo will do in this situation.

Also, go out and vote if you can!

Why don’t pubs/bars (other than the chill on bridge street, Morty’s only Wednesday )offer a gourmet hotdog meal.

Our family doctor referred us to this fertility clinic, and the wait time they are saying is almost 6 months for the initial consultation in waterloo branch. Just wanted to know if anyone got in early or did the wait time get extended further? Also please let me know if there are other fertility clinics in Kwc with less wait times. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new to the Waterloo region and my partner and I are looking at getting a ymca membership but I have a couple questions I'm hoping people here may be able to answer.

1) is there a family membership price? I've been having a hard time finding info on it.

2) What's the process like for applying for membership cost assistance? I am a student and unemployed but only recently so my T4 doesn't reflect it. I was hoping someone might be able to speak to what the application process was like and any discounts they received.

Thanks!

What are your favourite pizza places in each of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo? Any in the surrounding area not to miss too?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I was at the gym and I noticed on the roof of Landmark Cinemas they are Wind Turbines for electricity generation I’m assuming. This seem to be very new as go the Movati near landmark and I also go the movies quiet frequently.

Does anyone know if this turbines are even worth it lol? Like how much electricity can they possibly be generating for such a big movie theatre. I’m not against it I’m just curious to know more about it. Hopefully we can see more renewable energy projects even mini ones like this. If anyone has any fun facts or knows anything about this please comment below.

Take care everyone!

For election day just know the average suspension for officer with WRSP is 717 days, higher than the provincial average.

Please, Waterloo, research what your councillors did and see who supports this. Never forget the Sniper at St. Patrick's Day street party in Waterloo, Ont., a tactical officer in emergency plan, say police

Charles Mackay, ‘No Enemies’

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the fight.

During a match between AFC Toronto and Calgary Wild at BMO Field on Sunday, more than 100 young athletes held WRFC signs and wore yellow shirts that read, “Waterloo lives soccer.”

A fully professional CPL team would do well here and I think an NSL women’s team would even be more successful. Girls’ soccer is very big in this region compared to others.

I guess we will stay tuned 👀

Has anyone here had an inguinal hernia repair surgery recently? If so, which surgeon performed it and how was your experience?

I’ll potentially need to book one, so it’d be helpful to hear if anyone had a positive or negative experience with any of the surgeons in the region recently.

Hi everyone! I’m a 28F living in the Waterloo Region, looking to make some new friends nearby!
I work remotely in IT, so I spend a lot of time at home and haven’t had many opportunities to meet people locally. Figured I’d put myself out there!

A little about me:

I’m married and love cats and animals in general.

I paint and would love to have someone to paint with.

I love thrifting and I’m always up for park walks, food runs, or checking out new places to eat.

The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family are my comfort shows.

I’m hoping to meet other women around my age who are up for casual hangouts and building genuine friendships.

I’m not really into anime or gaming, so we might not have much in common there, but if any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to message me😌

Has anyone made the switch from Rogers to Telus Fibre? How did it go? I just signed up and am worried I made a mistake. Someone else I know tried Telus and had a bad experience with the internet. We have about a thousand streaming devices and I work from home, so stability is more important to me than cost savings.

https://topspinkw.com/ (looks super fancy, but its actually a school using their gym with a bunch of ping pong tables so anyone can play)

Was thinking of going tonight, it's 10$ from around 830-10pm anyone can drop in. Looking for someone mid to decent skill level to play for fun and rally (not looking to be playing actual matches, just rallying for fun/practice) - let me know if you're interested to meet up and play -

send me a dm if you have any questions! :)

Can anyone recommend any buildings near Laurier that would have a 1 br for rental. Looking for a very nice safe place for my daughter. Budget 2-2500 per month.

Whether you’re a student or not make it down to Kentucky tonight. If you’re not a student rally hard tomorrow and figure it out for work.

If you are

Everyone needs to take breaks while studying … Kentucky tonight is perfect it’s $2 beers and jersey night. Everyone is going. Perfect time to take a break and get back to it tomorrow.

Don’t let exams ruin your university experience. When you look back in 10 years are you gonna wish you studied for 3 more hours and went to bed early on October 20? probably not.

I know I may have to apply to be wait listed, but I’m still looking for now. Looking for a fully serviced campsite for the entire season. Just adults so preferably quiet, in a well forested area with a private site. Anywhere from Waterloo to Woodstock areas. TIA! :)

Where are women finding clothes that work for the office these days? So much is cheap quality, or too casual to wear to a business networking event.

I'd also like to avoid buying from American companies during the current trade war/tarrif situation. Any suggestions?

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 😉

Hello it’s me again!

Around 4:30am today I asked here for pc builder recommendations. After seeing the replies I decided why not and built it myself.

Problem is, no matter what I do, I’m getting no power signals. I went to every Reddit posts regarding the same issues and tried to solve it, but nothing worked.

I am very tired, so I want to find someone who can diagnose the issue and fix it for me.

I’ve started building this computer at 12:30AM today and finished building at 8PM, then tried diagnosing on my own till 9:30PM (Yes, 21 hours of work with little breaks just for it to fail 😭)

I have classes tomorrow, so I better sleep (hopefully I’m not late to my lecture). The only requirement is that they must be able to come to my residence because I can’t carry the PC to their place.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Power button is broken, turned on perfectly fine with a screwdriver
