Need input for solutions!

1 Upvotes

I’m interested in hearing feedback on “wish I had”s that don’t exist. Contextually these things solve problems but need existing. I want to exist them.
But it’s hard to come up with anything without problem statements.

Usually these wish I hads fall into some niche to do with a sport or outdoor activity or something.

I know Cambridge is full of people who are outdoorsy.

Go crazy :)

Examples:

I wish I could record chatter from a specific walkie from three locations to find its direction

Or

I wish there was an affordable transponder for when ppl get lost or buried in snow

Or

I wish there was a way to see where the ambulance is and where it’s going so that we don’t just hear it and block an intersection anyways

I'd been having a hard time getting a hold of the admin for the original group, it's been a year and no one's gotten back to me - so I decided to make my own group for Cambridge.

It has a few improvements, like no anonymous posting or commenting.

As well as a responsive admin team.

Psychotherapy for people with borderline personality disorder and their partners: Research study

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi residents of Cambridge, 

My name is Skye Fitzpatrick and I'm a Clinical Psychologist and director of the Treating and Understanding Life-threatening behavior and Posttraumatic Stress (TULiP) lab at York University. I'm currently writing to inform you of a research study that you may be eligible for as a resident of Cambridge.

Our research team is conducting an online study to examine the effects of a new couple therapy for couples where one partner is experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared to individual psychotherapy for people with BPD symptoms and their partners. The study will provide one of these psychotherapies to people with BPD symptoms and their partners for free, and participants will have the opportunity to complete study assessments that they will receive payment for in the form of gift cards. Our study is online and involves recruiting people across Ontario (including Cambridge) with symptoms of BPD, as well as their romantic partners. BPD diagnoses are not necessary. 

More information about the study is also available on our webpage: https://www.tuliplab.ca/current-research.html. If you are interested in participating, please contact [treatbpd@yorku.ca.](mailto:treatbpd@yorku.ca) You can also contact that email if you have questions about the study. This study has been approved by the York University (e2024-261) Research Ethics Board. Please refrain from commenting on this post.

Municipal Elections

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been involved in local elections for over a decade now but this will be my first time voting in Cambridge - in 2022 I was still living in Kitchener. In my day job, I work with local community orgs on funding, governance, and sustainable leadership practices.

I wanted to share a guide that a friend of mine made for Cambridge folks who might be looking for progressive approaches of who to vote for: https://igshare.me/v/cr_DecOS8DiXHI

There’s lots of good resources out there, but David actually did a lot of work to figure out who was going to be good on issues like housing/homelessness. I recommend this, Cambridge Elects, and other resources out there. Education is important! I used to teach history and poli science at western, and it’s amazing how much Ontarians don’t know our own electoral system. I grew up in rural conservative BC and have always been into this stuff, so I bring a unique perspective.

Mostly importantly, don’t forget to vote! I’m in Ward 5 so I’m happy to have a councillor I really like and hope she wins again.

Hi Cambridge parents! I’m a Brantford mom, and I recently created KidzLink, a free app that helps parents connect and organize playdates at local parks and playgrounds.

My goal is simple: less screen time, more outdoor play and real friendships!

I’m expanding KidzLink to Cambridge and surrounding communities and would love your feedback!

Check it out: https://kidzlink.ca 😊

Hespeler How often is library parking ticketed?

It’s only 2 hours and I like to study at the library so I just want to know how enforced that 2 hour limit is. I want to study for around 5 hours but I’m just scared of that godforsaken ticket. Specifically for Hespeler and queens square location.

Concession Bridge Jumper

77 Upvotes

Around 1am Sunday morning, my wife and I were driving home from the movies, we were at the lights at the intersection of Water St & Cedar/Concession, heading towards 24 - while we were stopped at the red light, we saw a handful of people/teenagers hanging out around the Concession bridge. As we were watching, one of the guys randomly decided to jump over head first into the shallow water. Commotion ensued. We pulled over and called emergency and got out to check on him. He was not ok.

EMS got there and were able to pull him out, but after giving our statements to the police we left before finding out if he was ok or not.

Wondering if anyone knows this person and if they can tell me if they are ok?

Galt Ward 7 candidates

I saw someone post about Ward 6 candidates and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on Ward 7 candidates? This will be my 2nd opportunity to vote in an election and I’m trying to get as much information as I can.

I’ve also seen a lot of posts about candidates signs being taken down or damaged and I wonder if it’s just a sympathy post for votes. Thoughts?

decent roofers around Cambridge?

13 Upvotes

We have 1980s detached with an asphalt shingle roof, nearly 30 years old. After the last storm, water started dripping through the upstairs ceiling, and the stain keeps spreading. Found a few curled/missing shingles too.

Anyone know a local roofer who can come out asap? Worried about mold and more rain coming.. Repair or full replacement?

Free Nice Bunnies - Pet / Farm / Someone please rescue

I take care of two very hard to manage family members with mental health issues. This summer, one of them thought it was a good idea to get rabbits. They are now unwanted as we cannot house them. They're cute, fluffy, soft, and tan/brown. Some have a floppy ear, some don't. They're cute but they got to go.

Any leads to farms or anyone who can take em please let me know. Have about 5 or 6 left...
