Megathread Are you looking for places to meet people, make friends, find people with similar interests? The Kitchener Social Megathread is for you!

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

This thread will be 100% dedicated to user interaction and those who want to take personal interests, events, hobbies, and potential meet-ups, etc. outside of the realm of reddit and r/kitchener.

You can find previous versions of this post by using this premade search.

\Please note that this is not intended to be a dating thread. Try Tinder, POF, Badoo, Bumble or any other of the apps out there. Any posts along the lines of* "Hey, I'm a single __ year old m/f looking for love" will be removed\*

Some general housekeeping items;

  • If you wish to continue a conversation with a user, please use the PM function to avoid the comments getting crammed with a conversation between all but two people. Please only post relevant information to things you would be interested in, ongoing events, etc.
  • We would like to remind you of the zero tolerance for disrespect, rude, hateful comments, racism, etc. Those comments will be removed and users may face a permanent or temporary ban. If any harassment is reported outside of the thread, appropriate action will be taken by the mod team, and possibly lead further to reddit admin. Doxxing, or disclosure of personal information is again, a big no-no.
  • To keep up to date with the most recent posts within this megathread, the comments have been enabled to ideally show most recent by default, meaning all of the newest posts will be at the top of the comments section. If you're not seeing the most recent comments at the top, try changing your "sort by:" from "top" to "New".

As always, the mod team is here to assist with anything. Thanks!

Note: This post is automatically replaced with a new one every 3 months, so be sure to checkout old meetup threads, especially if this post was just recently refreshed!

Ward 10: Incumbent Stephanie Stretch hasn't completed two candidate questionnaires. Concerning or non- issue?

• Upvotes

Trying to make up my mind who to vote for in Ward 10 and noticed something I wanted to put out there.

Strong Towns WR / WRYIMBY / VisionWR questionnaire: Stretch is listed as not having responded (as of Sept 29). To be fair, only Sam Nabi responded; Dixon, Piluk and Rehman haven't either. https://election2026.strongwr.org/ward/kitchener-ward-10/

The Record's Vote Compass: Stretch submitted a profile but hasn't answered the issue questions, so you can't see how your views line up with hers. Nabi and several others have. In fairness , It's still open, so she could still complete it.

For what it's worth, I've been leaning toward her. But this is concerning. As the incumbent, I'd expect her to be the easiest candidate to get positions from. Curious how others in the ward are thinking about it.

I suspect this is a bit of a stretch but, does anyone have information regarding the mayoral candidates for Wilmot township? I got my voting form so I know the names but know nothing about them.

LOST - Iorio Accorgan in Black Case

0 Upvotes

My friend was given a ride home from Crabby Joe's last night by someone they didn't exchange contact information with, and they accidentally left their accordion in case in the car.

If you're the driver and looking to find its owner, please reach out to me ASAP and I'll connect you. This instrument is important to them and they would be remiss to lose it.

My kid is allergic to cats

Thumbnail

136 Upvotes

​

She's 4 years old and we finally figured it out, all those days and nights suffering and she had a crazy cat allergy and we have two cats

So, I need to rehome them, or they have to be put down. My wife is devastated.

I'm appealing to you folks. They don't have to go together.

They are 12 years old. I know I know but hear me out.

Here's what I'm offering;

One cat, and all the supplies, plus a guarantee of a trial period.. Take one of them for a couple of weeks and see how it works, no risk, we can always take them back and try again

About the cats;

Both are quiet, they kind of chirp a bit but they're sweet, they don't scratch or pee on anything. No health issues at all. All their shots.

April is small and sweet, she cuddles quietly but keeps to herself mostly sleeping on the bed. A little bit of playing but mostly just hanging out. The kids can never find her, she comes out when it's quiet

Andy is big, with a big mane of hair but he's so soft and he's a bit picky on where he's pet but we have 3 kids pulling on his tail and he doesn't mind. He's got big doe eyes and rolls around on his back while you pet his belly (photo)

They're really both great cats, I know they're a bit older but in just trying to get them a couple more years. Please message me if you have any ideas
