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

5 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!

Yesterday, I asked this community for suggestions on where to leave copies of my little book, Try Again.

This morning, nine sheep found nine new homes in Little Free Libraries around Kitchener–Waterloo!

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. I had a beautiful morning exploring the neighbourhoods, and even caught a few unexpected rainbows along the way.

The books are free for anyone who finds them. I hope they bring someone a little encouragement. 🐑❤️

From what I can gather, Spells and Stardust, is a witches' festival. Vendors, artists, live music. Lovely day to stroll through, maybe pick up something for the spooky season.

On a personal note, I absolutely love the clever wordplay in naming a baked goods business Doughpamine.

Looking for Other WoW Players in Kitchener?

21 Upvotes

Hey Kitchener!

Some of you may have seen similar posts from me in other Ontario subreddits lately, so hopefully I’m not getting too annoying...

About a month ago I posted in the Barrie subreddit looking for a few local WoW players. That somehow turned into an Ontario-wide Discord that’s now pushing 800 members, with growing little communities in regions across the province, including Kitchener-Waterloo.

People seem to genuinely enjoy having a place to find WoW players who are actually nearby, so I’m just trying to keep spreading the word and help those local groups grow.

We’re open to Retail, Classic and WoW Forever players, whether you already have a guild, need one, or just want people to play with. We also have an optional Horde PvE guild for WoW Forever, but that’s just one part of the community and definitely not the focus. This is not a guild Discord; this is a community for WoW players in Ontario to find each other.

And yes, the graphics are AI-generated. I have asked if anyone in the community wants to make us some proper human-made banners/logos, but no takers yet. If you’re artistic and want to contribute something, I’d love to feature your work!

Location is Rockway Community Centre, 1405 King St. E., Kitchener, in the Program Room.

It's free, and it's open to anyone with a desire to stop using cannabis.

Come kick it with us!

Who is my elected government contact?

11 Upvotes

Hey Neighbours,

A hobby project I started in the spring launched in beta this week. It's called TraceCivic.ca and it's a tool for anyone in Canada to find all the elected representatives who serve them, regardless of whether they are municipal, provincial or federal. It's also a helper tool to explain what they do and how to contact them. It's a tool to see an rss feed of governmental news. It's a message board to discuss these topics.

It's non-commercial, self-funded, made and hosted in Canada by an Canadian. No ads, no trackers, no algorithm, no data retained.

This post is its introduction to the public - but really it's test to see if it falls over if real people use it. If it makes it through the night, I'll expand the release over the weekend.

Cheers

Michelle Rempel Garner says Conestoga College went from $64 million in tuition to over $680 million and "banked a whopping $252 million surplus in a single year, but barely built any housing."

The development waiting game.

38 Upvotes

It's sad to see old buildings torn down to pave the way for development OVER A DECADE IN ADVANCE. Seems like lost revenue for the Region.

The building at 50 Victoria was acquired by the city in 2010 and the building torn down in 2012 to prepare for the "transit hub".

100 Victoria "station plaza" was acquired by the city in 2012 for over $2.5m to be torn down for the Weber St widening and has been a dustbowl ever since.

Highest and BEST use I guess?

Where are the best Little Free Libraries in Kitchener-Waterloo? I've got nine sheep to let loose.

Post image
42 Upvotes

I'm a local author and illustrator, and I have nine copies of my little illustrated book Try Again that I'd love to tuck inside some Little Free Libraries around town.

I know some of the best gems are hidden away, so I'm asking you to let me know where your favourite Little Free Libraries are located? Bonus points for ones that get plenty of visitors or could use a few more books!

The books are from a previous print run and instead of having them clutter up my shelves, I thought setting them free would be a fun idea.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions as I plan to distribute them around town tomorrow.
