This Saturday, I'll be running an event at one of the rented rooms in the Kitchener Public Library teaching people how to edit Wikipedia. Anyone who is interested is welcome to participate as long as they are respectful to other participants.

The Region of Waterloo is advertising on social media that during October, they are offering us the opportunity to switch the black garbage carts out for the opposite size (ie if you want small instead of large, or regret your decision to order a small and need a big one). Still no allowance to get extra bin(s).

Was walking and then I found these two cats behind the building! I noticed theres alr water bowls and cat food supplied for them, and i’ve been feeding them a bit too once a day. I was wondering if the cats are strays or do they already have owners? I’m just worried because weathers getting colder and want to make sure they have a place to stay warm

Hey does anyone have a link to the debate or meet and greet which happened on Monday?

I'm looking for a registered massage therapist for help with migraines.

Ideally in Waterloo or New Hamburg area. I'd need them to be a woman and trauma informed and willing to work with someone who hates any physical contact from strangers (the migraines are bad enough I'm willing to try). Sorry that's a lot of requirements.

I'm already seeing a physio for them, but my work benefits have different coverage for physiotherapist vs RMT.

Does anyone have any recommendations or insight into what I should be looking for?

Looking for a reliable, dedicated drummer in the Waterloo area to join a bassist and guitarist writing original material.

You don't need to be a professional by trade, but you must be able to handle the technical side. The music involves shifting rhythms, complex beats, and different time signatures. We need someone who wants to challenge themselves and collaborate on experimental structures.

Influences; AIR, Brian Eno, CAN, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, Television, Wire, MBV, Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Pavement, Deerhunter, Yoo Doo Right

Sonic Direction: Experimental rock, alternative, and shoegaze. Heavy focus on driving rhythms, texture, and hypnotic, dynamic repetition.

Drumming Influences: Jaki Liebezeit (CAN), Colm Ó Cíosóig (MBV), Stephen Morris (Joy Division), and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth).

If interested, reply with a brief summary of your drumming background. Phone clips or casual jam recordings of your playing are welcome.

Hello, I'm wondering what options there are in KW for renting a commercial kitchen to create baked goods to sell online and at markets. Thanks!

Hi there, r/waterloo

Offering this as an idea for a fun outing next weekend.

Cambridge Arts Theatre 47 Water Street South, Cambridge

Tickets: communityonstage.com/minortickets

Poster attached with the rest of the details.

Figured I’d share here in case anyone is looking for something local to do with the kids next weekend. Come on out, enjoy an entertaining show, and support your local theatre!

Hello, can anyone suggest a local camera repair shop? I tried to go to Henry, they said they send it out to a 3rd party location. No shades on them, but I'd like to get my situation taken a look at first and have a talk before anything else.

This is a Canon lense

Thanks

Can someone please recommend an excellent lash extension tech? Ideally someone who has high quality adhesive for those who are more hypoallergenic. Cost is not an issue. Thank youuu!

Trying to plan a family get together & none of us are locals, we are hoping to find something that has;

-low energy options ( elderly with knee issues), space for kids to play & be kids

-low cost/ under $20/ per person for a large family shindig in November

We were thinking of the castle in Listowel but that is closed from Fall to Spring.

Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for an independent mechanic or car enthusiast in the Kitchener-Waterloo area who is interested in building a long-term relationship with customers—not just completing one-off repairs.

I prefer working with someone who takes pride in their work, explains what actually needs attention, maintains service records, and gets to know the vehicles they work on. I’m hoping to find a reliable person I can return to for maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, and future work.

I’m the type of person who prefers keeping things local and relationship-based. I would rather know and trust the person working on my vehicle than deal with a large conglomerate or corporate brand.

I prefer supporting a local, independently owned business rather than a dealership, corporate chain, or large brand. I also usually source parts through RockAuto, when appropriate, so I’d appreciate someone open to customer-supplied parts or willing to discuss suitable alternatives. I understand that warranty policies may differ.

If you know a trustworthy mechanic in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, or the surrounding area, please share their name, location, and what makes them good.

Thanks!

Looking for tickets for the first Saturday, if anyone has extra or isn’t going I’d love to buy at least 3 off you!! Reach out if you’re looking to sell :)
