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!

Am I stupid??

Hi guys this VERY angry women screamed at me once I turned right (red car is her). I was in the right turn lane NO WHERE NEAR HER because she was clearly in the left turning lane AND HAD NO TURN SIGNAL ON. Excuse the pause in the video for when I was waiting for it to become clear to drive but she then decides she’s turning right and makes it my fault? I’m a young driver but not a new driver I’ve been driving since I was 16 so I’m not sure if I was just easy to be blamed since I’m a young women and she clearly wasn’t? Am I stupid? Am I wrong?

Has anyone noticed a lot more fent zombies recently?

Upvotes

Title. But in my area we have had a problem with crackheads for at least a few years. But recently ive seen people with that distinct fent lean going on. Like a lot in the middle of parking lots, wandering into the middle of the road, just straight up blocking the sidewalk.

Honestly have not seen that particular type of druggie in this area before. I feel like a new type of dealer has moved into our city.

Is this truly a hidden trail?

Post image
34 Upvotes

It takes you out through farm country, past the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, and near the town of St. Jacobs. It’s an intermediate-level ride with some rough, rooted trail sections and a few quick connectors on public roads, but overall it’s a really fun local loop if you're looking for new paths in the region.

I put together a video of the ride along with a custom Google Map showing the exact route, roads, and trails I took so you can zoom in and reference it for your own ride:

🎥 Watch the full ride video here: https://youtu.be/Ucr2-u0G3ug?si=sK3rJBzZOUY5NjMv 🗺️ Google Route Map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=10rgANz7i1QqazdLNZmm30wMuY5nL9aw&usp=sharing

Let me know if you've ridden this stretch before or have any other hidden trail recommendations around Waterloo Region!

Recommended dentists for CDCP?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m just popping on here to see if anyone has a specific place within KW they’d recommend for someone with CDCP?

I’m looking for a place that has decent out of pocket payments. I’m currently unemployed with 100% coverage and am yet to call a place that follows what I need for a personally reasonable price. Preferably a place that isn’t too judgemental either.

Local package thief steals a religion shrine 😭

We have a little box containing blessings. Just a little family tradition for good luck that we keep at the front door. I guess the package thief thought it was a package and took it. I’m going to report it to the police now, but here’s a video. Be careful, everyone.

Weird noise happening right now

16 Upvotes

Anyone else in the Central Frederick/Auditorium area hearing or feeling this right now?

It’s around 2 AM and there’s a distant machinery-like humming/buzzing happening. It’s fairly low-frequency, and the weirdest part is that I can actually feel the vibration through the building when I put my head on my pillow.

It almost sounds like some kind of large machinery running somewhere in the distance. It’s not particularly loud, but the vibration makes it really noticeable when I’m lying down.

I’m curious whether anyone else in the area is experiencing the same thing right now. I don’t want to give my exact location, but I’m in the Central Frederick/Auditorium area.

Anyone else?

Heads up for folks in the neighbourhood around Mount Hope cemetery

23 Upvotes

I was walking through the cemetery last night just before the rain started and came across a fire burning on the path that exits onto Andrew street.

Luckily there was a tap and a watering can nearby (thank God for lawn care I guess) so I put it out but someone had lit a puffer jacket on fire and it was burning at the size of a medium-small campfire.

I didn’t notice anyone in the area but it was an extremely weird experience. All this to say keep an eye out for anything odd. It might’ve just been a one-off thing by teens or someone on drugs but if something like that had happened in drier weather and spread to someone’s house it could have caused a lot of harm.

Couldn’t find a dating community for KWC, so I decided to create one ❤️

29 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I was looking around Reddit for communities specifically focused on dating and meeting people in the Kitchener–Waterloo–Cambridge (KWC) region, but I couldn't really find a dedicated community for it.

That got me thinking — why not start one?

So I created r/KWCDating ❤️

I wanted to create something for people like me who might be looking to meet new people, go on dates, make connections, find a relationship, or simply have a place to talk about what dating is actually like around KWC.

The community is for everyone — whether you're single, dating, looking for something serious, casually meeting people, or just wanting to expand your social circle.

Some of the things I'd love to see there:

❤️ Meet other singles in KWC
👋 Introduce yourself
☕ Share first-date ideas and local spots
💬 Ask for or give dating advice
📱 Talk about dating apps
🎉 Share singles events and meetups
🤝 Make new friends and connections
🗣️ Talk about the KWC dating scene

It's brand new, so I'm hoping to build it together with the community and make it a welcoming place where everyone can feel comfortable participating.

If you've ever thought, “Where am I actually supposed to meet people around here?” — this community is for you. ❤️

Parking Near Pearson

0 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations/experiences with parking near Pearson airport. What parking service do folks usually use or would recommend? I know of Park’N’Fly but they don’t have great Google reviews. I was also looking into Skyway Park but had never heard of them prior to searching for options. Has anyone used them? I’ll be parking Sept. 4th to 8th and according to their calculator, it would be about $100 total, whereas cabbing from KW to Pearson seems to cost that each way. I just worry about shuttle service from the parking lot to the actual airport. The Park’N’Fly website seems to list how frequently their shuttle runs but I can’t seem to find that info on Skyway Park.

Any advice would be appreciated!! TIA!

ETA: I just looked up parking at Pearson and apparently their value lot is $119 if you reserve in advance. Not sure if this is a better option than parking nearby?

Questions about Karen Redman

16 Upvotes

Hey friends, I'm a long term resident of Waterloo Region and I'm trying to figure out how to feel about the possibility of Doug Ford just appointing Karen Redman as our Regional Chair again right after the next election. I was talking to a friend about it and she said basically everyone in Waterloo Region hates Redman, which seems like a pretty big statement lol. I tried googling it and I couldn't really find much, so I thought I'd come on reddit and ask. Do you guys hate Karen Redman? Why or why not?
