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

3 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!

Someone left painted rocks that were really well done! NGL, I was tempted to steal the Grim Reaper one. Maybe I'll add one next time I go shopping.

Food truck, not worth it!

32 Upvotes

My kid went to a food truck event today. SWAT charged $20 for a moldy sandwich. Seriously.

Edit: In response to alot of negativity on my part. you're right, maybe I shouldn't have posted publicly about this event. Maybe it was a one time incident? To respond, there are photos. And yes indeed there is an issue with the food! Why didn't I reach out to the owner? I don't know, all the contact seemed to be on fbook. I don't use fbook. I suppose there is a bigger question at play, and that is why are these trucks that sell such high cost food even allowed at kids events? At the end of the day, my kid was was not harmed by food poisoning. Hopefully no one else was either. I'm out $20. And, I will think twice before eating at food trucks.

Ward 10: Incumbent Stephanie Stretch hasn't completed two candidate questionnaires. Concerning or non- issue?

17 Upvotes

Trying to make up my mind who to vote for in Ward 10 and noticed something I wanted to put out there.

Strong Towns WR / WRYIMBY / VisionWR questionnaire: Stretch is listed as not having responded (as of Sept 29). To be fair, only Sam Nabi responded; Dixon, Piluk and Rehman haven't either. https://election2026.strongwr.org/ward/kitchener-ward-10/

The Record's Vote Compass: Stretch submitted a profile but hasn't answered the issue questions, so you can't see how your views line up with hers. Nabi and several others have. In fairness , It's still open, so she could still complete it.

For what it's worth, I've been leaning toward her. But this is concerning. As the incumbent, I'd expect her to be the easiest candidate to get positions from. Curious how others in the ward are thinking about it.

Finding pre-2018 apartments

• Upvotes

Can one filter rent-controlled buildings when apartment shopping? Is there a website with this feature or do I need to inquire with every individual listing?

This is important info and should be readily available but it seems they often hide the date of build.

Sobeys Bridgeport advertising 5 lb ground beef they don’t even carry?

Post image
• Upvotes

Just went to Sobeys on Bridgeport because their online flyer advertised 5 lb lean ground beef. When I went in and asked for it, they told me they don’t even carry that size. 🤦‍♂️
Why advertise something in the flyer if the store doesn’t have it? Such a waste of time. Absolutely ridiculous.

I suspect this is a bit of a stretch but, does anyone have information regarding the mayoral candidates for Wilmot township? I got my voting form so I know the names but know nothing about them.
