Hey guys! Just wanted to reach out and see if there's anyone who regularly commutes from Cambridge to Guelph that wouldn't mind making a few extra bucks and having some company on their commute in the mornings! Ubers and lyfts are fine for now, and my partner has been using that until they can drive themselves for the time being. But I figured it's always worth asking! Worst people can say is no! DM if interested, thank you!

Edit: We live in Galt and my partner arrives before 7am in downtown Guelph. They work Monday-Friday!

Found them in the Walmart parking lot at Fairview Plaza around 9:45 PM ET and handed them over to Walmart Customer Service Lost & Found.

I’m not posting a photo or details intentionally so they can be safely verified by the actual owner.

If you have access to any local Facebook groups, please cross-post this so it reaches the person who lost them. 🙏

The owner can claim them directly from Walmart Lost & Found. Feel free to DM me if you need any further information.

Hello everyone!

My girlfriend and I are going away from Oct 7- Oct 13 and we had already booked a sitter for our dog a month ago but someone in their family is in serious medical condition so they had to cancel last minute.

I’m looking for someone who can come to my house while I’m away 3 times (around 10 am 4 pm and 9pm), each day only for 10 mins to feed my dog and take him for a short walk. My dog is very friendly 15 pounds poodle mix with great energy!

I’m willing to pay $200 for it. If you think that you or someone you know would be interested, please reach out.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Looks to be a male wasp bc I see no stinger could be wrong

My partner and I just moved to Cambridge and are looking for things to do. Are there any good social activities (bars, sports leagues, general activities) where we could meet other people around our age? We are open to any suggestions!

From the article:

It’s been just over half a year since the first black and green waste carts were rolled to the end of driveways in Waterloo Region for the start of the new collection system.

In just a few weeks, residents will be able to request a different black cart size.

Has anyone else in the Preston area noticed an increase in train noise at night? Not only does it seem louder, but I feel like more trains are coming through at night and the engineers seem to be honk hungry with the world’s loudest horns

UPDATE: Fergus has been found!! He came back to his litter box we had outside. He is hungry, but otherwise perfectly fine! He just needed an adventure, apparently. So thankful for you all, we are overjoyed at his return!!!

Missing cat from Main Street in Galt. He's an orange 12 year old cat, we recently adopted him. We call him Fergus, was called Ginger previously. He has a lump on the left side of his face, hidden by his whiskers. We didn't witness him getting out, but we can't find him anywhere. We love him so much already and want him home.

As I said earlier this week tn 9pm outdoor movie at jacobs landing but havent had anyone say they are coming or not so want to get a head count or will just cancel for tn

I’ve been building mapping software for nearly 20 years and am starting a small map-print business in Waterloo Region. I’m offering custom neighbourhood prints for Galt, Preston, Hespeler and the rest of Cambridge, with curated road labels, hand-selected place icons and carefully composed map views. Special requests welcome.

The sample is Victoria Park in Kitchener.

Any recommendations for vegetarian/vegan restaurants or restaurants with a strong vegetarian menu that can accommodate a 12 people party? It would need to be a private room or a restaurant we can rent out for 2 families for Sunday night. This would be for a dinner celebration party after a civil wedding, so hopefully they are okay with us cutting a cake as well. Thank you for any leads!

Edit, it is happening in November, not this weekend.

I’ve only been to Chicagos but I’m looking to branch out! I haven’t been out much in Cambridge but hoping to change that and meet some people.

(I should say from the jump that I’m fully aware that this is an odd post. This is me acknowledging that and then making it anyway!)

Hi, Cambridge and Cambridge-adjacent folks.
I’m a 35-year-old guy — American, though more recently based in Toronto — who suddenly finds himself living here in this deeply charming place while going through a difficult divorce. I feel lucky to be here and fortunate to have the time and space to reorient myself and decide what happens next. I’m making myself leave the house every day, taking long walks along the river. All in all, I am managing all right, or anyway close enough to all right that I can see all right from wherever it is I am, except for the fact that I desperately miss Maisy.

Maisy, our unbelievably sweet and affectionate cat, with whom I’d spent three years of nights falling asleep with her and three years of mornings waking up beside her. My partner is not opposed to my taking Maisy at some point in the future, but I knew that doing so at this juncture would have immediately thinned out my search for a place to stay, and so I find myself without her, very much missing her, and attempting to fall asleep each night with a voice memo I made of her purring on a loop. (Can you believe I’m single?)

I’m not even entirely sure what it is I’m asking here. Maybe it’s as simple as, you know, “Hey, Reddit people who have lived in this area a long time and know things I couldn’t possibly know: if you found yourself itching to spend time with friendly (or not that friendly, that’s fine, too) felines, what would your course of action be?”

It obviously has occurred to me that I could go to an animal shelter, but I have the distinct impression that those (tragically understaffed & underfunded) spaces are probably not eager to allow in for pet visits someone who has no ability or intention to adopt at present. (And nor should they be eager to, of course; the available time and staff bandwidth should absolutely be spent on folks with serious intentions.)

Grateful in advance for any thoughts or suggestions, and grateful, too, for the kindness & friendliness they have been extended to me here already in the week since I arrived.

(I’d post a photo of Maisy, but I truly don’t know how!)

Does anyone know of any churches or places I could rent cheaply that have kitchen facilities? My family lives in Woodstock, Kitchener and Hamilton and no one really has a place big enough for things like Thanksgiving dinner. We are all too broke to meet at a restaurant or have it catered.

I wanted to open a sub where we can openly discuss the upcoming Municipal election. Whatever goes.
I attended the Town Hall with Mayoral candidates (Sep24) but was not wowed by most of the candidates. I went in knowing who I intended to vote for and that was surely confirmed after the discussion. I do wish it was a formal debate rather than only a Q&A period. It drives me nuts to see candidates read verbatim from their notes rather than just talking points to keep them on track. I find it torture to listen to note reading. Ryan Bolender, Tony Chaves, and Itsham Haq all read from their notes. Ken Roche was very personable and well spoken but as he said himself “I don’t want to be your mayor, but I will do it if I have to” for change. Incumbent Jan Liggett looked miserable and her tone and demeanour was as if she didn’t want to be there. She even offered for a heckler to come up to the front to say it to her face. Very defensive and honestly very off-putting (not saying I’m surprised). Scott Hamilton, although sometimes referring to his notes, did the best job by far. Although his answers are what you would expect from a councillor vying for the promotion to mayor, I do believe he has all the right intentions and goals for Cambridge. Given his experience and what seems like his genuine interest in doing better and listening to residents, as well as leading from a place of research/evidence - he’s my vote.

I easily linked the signs around the neighbourhood and across the city for Bolender as previous conservative voters. From other subs I read, I believe that hunch is confirmed considering support from other far right loud mouths. I was very put off by Ryan’s visible attitude at the Town Hall. He looked pissed off the whole time, and his remarks reminded me of a few other notable conservative politicians 🤡🤓especially given the debacle with the cold patch asphalt scandal. I was really put off by the fact he’s ok with going around rules and doubling down after the fact. No thank you.

I’m also curious to hear thoughts on your Ward Councillor options. For my Ward 2 - I was really taken with Matt Rogers during their Town Hall. He was so well spoken compared to the other three. I personally admire the youth aspect of Rogers and feel he’d have the enthusiasm to fight for his constituents, even if he has some things to learn. I unfortunately do not feel there will be enough votes for him to be given the chance. Incumbent of 12 years Mike Devine also comes off as miserable and arrogant. From what I gather from other subs and online forums, many of the Ward 2 residents want a change but I still see a lot of his signs up around the neighborhood.

Let’s get discussing and I look forward to reading people’s views.

Hey guys, I took today off work for the sake of my brain. I need to get out of the house and touch some grass, let my brain heal a bit from stress. I have my usual things I go about and do in the city, but I'm interested in seeing y'alls suggestions. I love going down and sitting by the water and drawing or crochetting, but maybe I'll change it up today. Thanks!

CBC and the Cambridge Library have partnered to put together a mayoral candidate forum. It's on Monday October 5th at 7:00 p.m. at the old Post office site.

You have to register on the Cambridge library website. I just did and there's now 50 places left. The registration form asks you to ask a question of the candidates in order to register.

Saw this huge loom of smoke lingering behind the delta area wonder what happened ?

That’s the smoke from the fire. Not clouds. I couldn’t get a photo of the main plume.

Hello!

I'm an artist based in Galt and I have several Alternative/Halloween oriented pieces I'm looking to display in the community.

This is a shot in the dark as I know my pieces are unconventional but I want to get my artistry out into the local atmosphere. If you have any interest/location suggestions that may be interested let me know!!

I can give the canvas dimensions of each piece to interested parties. This is only for display, I am not selling any of the following pieces ❤️

They are a part of a growing collection I hope this first step can help me get a more sound footing in the Cambridge arts sector.

Someone posted about Cambridge Elects a few weeks back but I wanted to reshare their site now that almost all the town halls are complete (Mayoral is on right now).

www.cambridgeelects.ca

All candidates were given questions ahead so it seemed fair in that way. I do wish they took questions from the floor as even with the variety of topics, not everything I’m interested in was discussed. I guess we all have our special interests.

Anyway, I hope as many of you get out to vote on October 26th as possible!

No hate please this isn't a racist post. Just wondering why so many Chinese tourists? Absolutely love that they are here and enjoying our town but how did it hit their radar?

I noticed something strange that a lot of the posts on in official Facebook page seem to get deleted. Like he’s resharing stuff that ends up deleted. Found that strange.

I also find it frustrating that it seems really difficult to hear about town halls happening. I just found out now that the Mayoral town hall is happening tonight.

I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but there’s been a lot of social media activity via the official accounts featuring Mayor Liggitt lately. This has seemed very suspect, given most mayoral candidates are out campaigning and spending campaign funds on signs and marketing, while our Mayor seems to have very coincidentally released a whole video series of manufacturing business visits right in the leadup to the election. The screenshots are from Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky. This all seems very sketchy knowing city resources and funds are being spent to produce this content, while other candidates are using their own resources to run a campaign. I also noted the Popup Mayor tent was in use on Saturday in front of City Hall, which during an election shouldn’t candidates be campaigning under their own banner, not the city’s? Just seems like more for the pile why we need new leadership in this City.

Nice

Hi, I was just wondering if the very first cohort of the MLS program have gotten the chance to write the CSMLS exam? I can't seem to find results for Conestoga on the national report card website and want to have a better assessment of this program. I know it's only accredited with condition.

Thanks.

The food was so mid but it fed me for 8 months. Im getting nostalgic over the dinning haul. I miss it

Hi all, so I’m in third year BA psych, and I’ve been looking more into grad programs (mostly MA clinical psych at UW) I didn’t go into the research specialist stream for undergrad, and now I’m wondering if I totally screwed myself over. Those grad programs are incredibly competitive, and I can’t see how I’d get in without an undergrad thesis or any research experience. My GPA is also nothing special, though I plan to work really hard on it these last two years. It’s just been hard to take on more work up to this point due to having a job among other things. Should I look into adding a fifth year for the research stream? Find external research assistant positions? Rethink my options? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've never used excel before, should i learn it for bu283? If not then whats the best financial calculator to get for a course? Does a regular calculator work fine aswell?

Pre-health is super content heavy and a lot of information to digest, as someone who’s been out of high school for a bit. It was A LOT of info to take in however, an extra resource I’ve used is The Organic Chemistry Tutor on YouTube. 10/10 content, very simple explanations even on complex topics and uses a lot of visuals to make sense of things for you. This guy has been a life saver when I’ve had to figure out physics. Not only is it Chem but he does physics, bio and math content too. I recommend him to all of you, this guy has content on just about everything we’ve learned, at least so far.

TLDR; The Organic Chemistry Tutor has amazing content on Bio, Chem, Physics and Math. 10/10 recommend.

Is anyone down to do the BMO case comp with me? Signups end tmw and it’s taking place on October 3rd. There can be teams of 2 or 3, my team just flopped on me last second. I think this is a rlly good opportunity so if anyone’s tryna do it hmu

As a Gr 12 student from Scarborough planning out university choices, I am considering the costs of living expenses and tuition for the BBA program.
I am wondering if I have enough funds with OSAP(6k grant 10k loan), my $40k in RESP, and what the costs would be for campus dorms.

I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful study tips or study recourses that could help me in my upcoming exam

Hey
I can't make it to the actual Homecoming weekend this year, so im trying to go out mid-week instead.
Does anyone know anything happening Wednesday or Thursday night?
Thank youu

Hi!! I’m currently planning to take the MCAT and have recently started studying. I’ve been studying at the Conestoga Doon Library and thought it would be nice to have someone to study with! 😊

I’m hoping to find someone who is also studying for the MCAT, whether you’re just starting out or already well into your prep. I think having a study buddy would help with staying accountable, taking breaks, reviewing topics together, and keeping each other motivated throughout the process.We don’t necessarily have to study together the entire time, we could just meet up, do our own studying, and check in with each other.

If anyone is interested, feel free to comment or dm me! 😊🫶

I'm majoring in a BA program (I am a mature student). I dont want to go back too school so late in my life . I had an interview, everything went well. I got a email from them and said that they are not hiring me as my education was not what they were looking for. I had a diploma in the specific field that I was getting interviewed for.

I was upset at this. When scrolling through more jobs that I wanted, I realized that most jobs now were looking for at least a degree. Now, I am studying here. Third year student and kind of dreading this. having young adults around me can be a little intimidating as I just dont feel like I belong here.

Got me thinking why I really want a ba degree, given that this program is very broad and does not really prepare you for other jobs. What if the job I wanted was just not for me as it focuses so much on writing.

Also, if there is any Mature BA students here, I would so be open to a conversation. I find truly hard making friends here.

Looking for a tutor for this above course.

Or will everyone leave me behind

Is anyone here taking AN210?
