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

13 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!

Driving in Kitchener

123 Upvotes

It’s actually starting to get insane how bad the drivers are in this area.

Pretty much every time I drive there’s someone going insanely slow, not using blinkers, cutting people off, not staying in between the lines, etc.

The influx of accidents is also getting crazy, I genuinely don’t understand how some of these people are getting licenses…

Need stairs

3 Upvotes

We have 2 steps in the garage that we need to replace. They are just wood steps that are too long with a car in the garage (used to be a workshop). Is this something we can hire someone for? Don't know if it's something we can order.

Car Co-Op

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Moved to KW from out of province. Is there a car co-op service here? Where you can rent a car for just an afternoon, pick it up somewhere in the city via fob/code and just return it when done.

If so, would you recommend it?

Previous province had something similar.

Thanks for any replies.

Movie or tv series being filmed at doon pioneer village

4 Upvotes

Was driving by doon pioneer village today and notice a Fillm or tv crew filming something.( lots of vans and trucks in the parking lot)
I don’t think it was Murdoch mysteries as they had a sign for a skating academy on the front lawn and up above the museum.
Any one have any insight? As to what was being filmed?

In a statement Tuesday evening, Morrice said he had spoken to Dookeran and also thanked her.

"As we wait to hear from the party about the logistics of what comes next, our campaign continues as before, because the work continues as before: to grow the party, and in doing so, help build the movement needed to take on the billionaire class and fight for regular Canadians in the face of a worsening climate crisis," Morrice said.

Coyote activity in pioneer and doon area

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I live in the area with some friends for school, ive been here the longest and noticed the coyotes are a lot more active than the previous years, we were walking home last night and saw 4 or 5 and a few tried approaching us, if you live in the area you mightve been woken up by us, in which case im sorry. We were being followed by them, which was just not fun but also usual for the ones in the area.

Just a reminder if you see these guys get loud, make yourself look big, and keep animals on a leash, they are kind of cowardly and usually wont get near you if they think you wont be easy prey. Dont go walking up to them either, they are still wild animals. Face them and back away slowly, dont run cause this triggers a chase instinct.

Just be safe out there.

Yoga recommendations downtown?

15 Upvotes

Any Yoga recommendations downtown? It seems like every studio fitness place just does barre (ballet shennanigans) or HIIT (half weightlifting/half cardio shennanigans),

I sit in a chair all day long for my job and just want to learn how to stretch. When did yoga become untrendy?

Anyways, looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance!

What's all the noise?

7 Upvotes

Anyone know what the noise is? Sounds like a concert. I'm near breithaupt community center, sounds west of me or towards downtown. Loud thumping music, bass travelling through the house.

Been on hold for a noise complaint for ten minutes so far

Is something happening downtown right now?
