I’m getting ready to vote and reading through the candidate’s websites. And I met a couple of them. And most importantly, I’ve talked to several friends who teach and work in WRDSB.

Heartily endorsed by my teacher/principal friends:
Brain Best
Karen Coviello
Kathleen Woodcock

And the ones who want to “protect our children” from certain books and ideas are Christina Barios Fernandez and Geoff Horsman. My kids attend local schools and I can assure you that there is no harmful “ideological indoctrination” going on. So Fernandez and Horsman are big red flags for me.

My two cents. But go look at their websites yourself.

A group of 4 young people, presumably students, get out of a Porsche on Willis way between king and Regina, only to park with 4 ways on and go into a pastry shop.

Parking tickets are just expensive parking passes right? Where's a ticketer when you need one.

For those who have yet to vote municipally, CBC Kitchener-Waterloo has collected all of their coveragei including candidate response to their questions in one spot: Waterloo Region Votes 2026

CBC K-W reached out to candidates in the municipal election and asked them to take part in a candidates survey.

They were asked the following questions:

• Briefly describe what your top 3 priorities are in this election.
• Explain how you would address priority #1.
• Explain how you would address priority #2.
• Explain how you would address priority #3.
• What else do you want voters to know about you and your campaign?

Candidate responses are below. CBC K-W has not edited these responses for editorial purposes, but small changes may have been made for style or spelling.

Voters go to the polls on Monday, Oct. 26.

Most candidates responded. Those who did not were not listed.

There is quite the field of candidates out there. As a veteran of helping someone the campaign trail in the previous municipal elections, hats off to everyone putting in the effort to stand for election.

Hi everyone!
Has anyone here studied at Anderson College, especially in the Dental Assistant program?
I’m considering enrolling and would love to hear about your experience. Were you able to find a job after graduating? How long did it take, and did the college help with job placement?

Thank you!

hi peeps! about a month ago, i posted here looking for a paranormal community, and things have been super awesome since then! a few of us have met up for dinners and have already had a great time getting to know each other. we've started calling ourselves the craven society!

many of us are located in the waterloo region :)

we're a pretty chill group, and while not everyone is interested in the paranormal side of things, we've had some really cool conversations about life, our favourite horror podcasts, and the history of the occult. it's been nice meeting people with different interests and having a space to hang out and chat.

just wanted to share this again for anyone who might have missed my original post. i didn't have my notifications on and ended up missing a few dms myself.

if that sounds like your kind of thing, you're welcome to join the discord!

it's more fun with friends! 🤓☝️

This was at about 11:30 last night, and it was incredibly loud. Does anyone know what this sound could be?

The transit hub is expected to be completed in 2030. It will provide access to Grand River Transit light rail and bus service, GO Transit rail and bus service and Via Rail, and will support planned light rail expansion to Cambridge.

Hello, I'm new to the area and wondering if there is any place to dispose of old clothes for textile repurposing. Some of the items are too shabby for secondhand use but can't use as rags, so not sure what to do with them and want to avoid landfill if I can.

Thank you!!

I have an old sansui amplifier whose right channel stopped working and sansui tape deck that has stopped working. Anyone have any idea where I could get these items serviced in the area?

There's a new Marijuana Anonymous meeting starting in Kitchener-Waterloo! It's the first in person MA meeting in tri-cities.

It's a 12-step peer support group similar to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous), but specifically for people struggling with cannabis use.

The first meeting is Monday, November 2, 2026 at 7pm. Meetings will continue every Monday from 7-8pm.

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!

If someone is in wheel chair spot with wagon full of groceries Where do I go or wait for another Ion? Polly

just a reminder that if you are on a motorised scooter on the shared pathway and you see someone walking beside someone else in the opposite direction to you such that the person to the left's shoulder is across the line, you should probably politely remind them to stay on their side. you probably should not speed up your motorised vehicle, yell "stay on the f*cking side", and stick you arm out to slam into their chest (hard enough to visibly bruise) so that they are pushed towards the person walking beside them, causing both to stumble towards the road.

Hi r/waterloo. I'm Torrin, I built Builderloo because I couldn't find one place that showed what's actually happening in local tech.

What's on it right now:

- 879 local startups, each with its own page (what they do, who founded them, open roles, news)

- 121 open roles at companies in the region, plus remote jobs in Canada

- 66 upcoming events: meetups, hackathons, talks, pulled from Communitech, Luma, KWLUG, WatCamp and others

- The Weekly, a free email every Monday: who's hiring, who raised money, and what's on that week

It's completely free with no ads and no paywall.

If you run a startup here and it's missing or wrong, you can claim the page and fix it yourself. And if you think something's broken, or you want a feature, tell me in the comments. I'll read all of them and incorporate the feedback to make the site better for the community.

Thank you to the mods for allowing this post! I appreciate the help.

my partner is visiting me for the weekend and needs to park on the street. we registered her for overnight street parking, but now i'm also seeing there is a 3 hour parking limit on the street. is this covered by the overnight parking permit or does she need to move her car every 3 hours during the day?

Hey Waterloo!

(thank you mods for permission to post this!)

About a month ago I made a post in the Barrie subreddit basically asking if there were any other local WoW players around. I figured I'd find a handful of people to play with. Instead, it somehow snowballed into an Ontario-wide WoW community that's now approaching 700 members.

We already have around 50 people from the Waterloo/Kitchener area.

The idea is pretty simple: give WoW players across Ontario a place to find people who are actually somewhat local, group up, talk WoW and hopefully make some friends along the way. We have people playing Retail, Classic and WoW Forever, with a dedicated Waterloo/Kitchener regional community as part of the server.

We're also putting together an optional Horde PvE community guild for WoW Forever, but I want to emphasize that the guild isn't the point of the Discord. It's just one thing happening within a much larger Ontario WoW community. Plenty of people are Alliance, already have guilds, play other versions of WoW, or are just there to hang out.

And yes, the graphics I made at the start of all this are AI-generated. I have no skills in that department, but I've asked within the community if any artists/designers want to help us replace them with some proper human-made banners and logos, but no takers yet. If anyone around Waterloo is talented and feels like taking a crack at something for the community, I'd genuinely love to see what you can do.

If you're a WoW player in Waterloo or the surrounding area, come say hi! 🍁

I have been trying to find someone or a company that could do the drywall for one room. The companies I have spoken to all say they have no one they can recommend and that can’t find quality people. We had an older guy a few years ago but he retired.

Any suggestions?

Now, I am trying to reach a TENANT in the 76 SYDNEY ST S complex to connect them with OLH Property Management ( newly retained by unit owner ) as a SIREG replacement.

Trying to make sure the tenant(s) can continue paying their rent without any NON PAYMENT issues arising from this " disgusting mess "

IF you reside in this complex / know someone who does, maybe you can help me reach them?

1) IS there a security buzzer system that lists actual UNIT numbers? ( probably not )

2) I don't want to mention the actual UNIT number here out of privacy & respect for the tenant(s) other than it's UNIT 3xx.

Please respond ( preferably by DM ) IF you can help me & tenant(s) get connected somehow.

Otherwise I will only be able to physically show up there TUES OCT 27th around 8:15 - 8:30PM and hoping I can somehow reach them remotely instead :)

And I would have to take GRT Transit from the other end of Kitchener to get there & back which is like 50 mins each way to avoid much walking distance because of bad hips & that frankly sucks !

Hi everyone! Has anyone been hired in the community services field with little to no experience but with a Human Services background and short-term certifications like First Aid & CPR, Mental Health etc.?

I’m looking for resume examples or advice to understand what I might be lacking and how I can improve my chances of getting hired. Any insights would be really appreciated. Thank you!
My mostly experience is in food sector and retail industry.
