PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU SPOT HIM

Hi, I’ve checked RPC and watimake, but both are closed. I need something soldered urgently and will pay you to either borrow your equipment or let me into a lab that has a hot air soldering station. Thanks.

Hi! I recently got admitted to the Planning program at Waterloo (still in shock honestly lol) and now that the excitement is calming down, I am suddenly getting super stressed about the academic side.

For anyone currently in Planning or who graduated from it, I have a few questions:

1. How hard is the actual workload? Like lectures, weekly readings, assignments, group projects, and especially midterms and finals. Is it mostly essays and case studies? Are the exams heavy memorization or more application based?
2. What does the co-op experience usually look like for Planning students? Do most people find jobs they actually like? Is it hard for someone with no planning background yet? And for international students, is co-op harder to secure?
3. Overall, what do you wish you knew going into first year Planning? Any tips for surviving classes, staying organized, or building portfolios for upper years?

I am super excited but also really overwhelmed because I am worried I will not be able to keep up.
Any honest advice would help a lot. Thank you!

For the jobs posted between feb 14-22 does it matter how fast you apply? Or is it like cycle 1 where once the application phase closes, employers then look at applications and send interviews

Worked on this every now and then for two months.

Gunna be a bit busy tomorrow so figured I’d do it today. Happy Valentine’s Day

i just got this 10k CAD scholarship and i checked its details on the website and it looks to me they just hand this award to everyone

I am here over reading week and was just curious.

During the winter of 2024/2025 the property owner of 330 and 335 Farmers Market Rd. St didn't clear their sidewalks and the townshop of Woolwich and/or the Region of Waterloo and/or the property owner didn't maintain access to the pedestrian crossing buttons... These buttons must be pushed by pedestrians to cross. It wasn't until an elderly individual feel and was hospitalized while trying to cross the street that any action was taken... and it still took more then a week. See the March 2025 post here: www.reddit.com/r/waterloo/comments/1j3fn59/crosswalk_buttons_still_not_accessible_sidewalk/

Fast forward to 2026 and it's now February 13th and nothing has changed. Sidewalks were not cleared at all, crosswalks not maintained, pedestrian islands not cleared, pedestrian crossing buttons hidden behind 6 foot high snowbanks. Calls to by-law result in nothing. Guess it will take someone else going to hospital before something is done?

*Sorry for my 2nd rant and sorry for the technical difficulties I was having with this post.

I found a single AirPods Pro earbud along Woodbine St around 1pm today. If you think it might be yours, please DM me with a description (left/right ear and any identifying details) so I can make sure it gets back to the right person.

I thought you would find out at 2 p.m. today

Honestly i don’t feel like going back home for reading week, so if anyone is staying in Waterloo and is down to hang HIT ME UP!

Anyone just finished the bi111 midterm? How’d you do?

We love you CP… A sad day for all us CP fans.

You’re taking my heart to the limit
of what it means to approach you.

But does it even exist?
Every time I get close,
there’s still more of you to reach.
And parts of you I’ve yet to see.

And I don’t want it to end.
If this diverges to infinity,
I’ll gladly take my time to know you.
Don’t think you’re just a friend.

You might as well be
my constant of integration,
because somehow
I’m missing you again.

I may think I’m being obvious
with every step forward I take,
but maybe you’re oblivious
to every move you make.

So I’ll tell you in a language you know well:

There exist x and y in the set of friends such that x = you and y = me.

But for every moment that we share,
somewhere along the way,

I think I’ve fallen for you.

Hi everyone,

I live in Kitchener and already have a water softener installed at home. However, over the past couple of days I’ve noticed a white residue building up inside my hot water kettle. I’ve been cleaning it with vinegar twice a week, but after almost every use the white buildup comes back again. I even changed the Kettle but issue remains.

I’m starting to wonder if this is due to a lack of a proper drinking water filtration system, or if something else might be going on (hardness levels? issue with the softener?).

Has anyone experienced something similar?

• Could this be a water quality issue even with a softener?
• Would installing a reverse osmosis or under-sink filtration system help?

Also, I’m considering reaching out to companies like Kent, Enercare, or Culligan — but I’m not sure if I should go with one of them or a reputable local company instead. Any recommendations (or companies to avoid) in the Kitchener/Waterloo area?

Appreciate any advice or suggestions!

This driver thought he could park here because he has a child AT HOME. He said he has a car seat installed so he’s entitled to park here. Meanwhile I’m pregnant AND have a 10 month old baby with me, I parked in the back. He was very hostile when I kindly pointed out these spots are reserved for parents with young kids. Thank you to the man who stood nearby in case things escalated and needed to jump in. This happened at the walmart in the boardwalk.

PLEASE leave these spots for those with young children. Rant over.

Wow pretty decent weather to start off our reading week :)

Been in Waterloo for all my school and coop terms ever since I started (unfortunately) so this will be my first time renting downtown Toronto for coop, any tips? Things like where to look, sublets, pricing, good/bad areas, etc.

Thanks :)

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a complicated situation involving visas and coops right now and I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this.

Context: It's my 4/5th coop and I just got matched through WW. While I'm super grateful to be employed, I'd ideally like to have 2 or more better (US) coops on my resume before I begin full time. I have a final round with a better US company next week, but rankings are due today. If I get the US offer and renege my WW offer, I'll be kicked out of the coop program (I'll miss my minimum requirement of 5 coop credits). This isn't the main issue though, I'm ok with being kicked out of the coop program, or taking the WW match, it's just that I'd like the option to do at least 2 more coops after that.

I initially thought I could just spam coops indefinitely, but with J1 visa, it becomes a lot more complicated. The main issue is I have to be considered a full time student, and if I were to renege, I wouldn't be considered a full time student during Spring 2026, and I wouldn't be able to get a J1 for my Fall 2026 coop. If I keep the WW coop, I'm restricted to only 1 more coop.

Since Waterloo requires 3 courses on a study term to be a full time, I came up with the following plan:

• I'll just do 3 courses the term before I want to do a US coop to be eligible for a J1 visa and take a gap term during the coop.
• I would theoretically repeat this indefinitely until I've got the coops I'm happy with, and I wouldn't even need to be in the coop program.

Unfortunately my coop advisor couldn't 100% confirm I could do this, and all the other advisors keep bouncing me to other people, so I wanted to ask if anyone else here has done this and knows if this is possible?

Appreciate any insight 🙏

With yuming chen

Midterm seemed rough but no grades yet

Hey, I was wondering if there was any good places in the area (off Campus) that would be fun to do and is great for meeting people. particularly after 6:30 pm (Monday-Friday). I have a car so distance isnt really an issue

All my friends Moved so i am unsure what to do by myself. I figured trying to make friends may help lol

(for the record, i am not a student. I am the same age though and i work beside it)

I am building a breakfast bar, and it is 17 in wide, due to time constraints, I'm wondering if finding someone with a big thickness planer would be the way to go?

The respect to take all of us!

In 2025 I had 1 co-op and made $12K (no taxes were withheld). That's under the $12,747 threshold for a 'simple return': www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/income-tax/personal-income-tax/how-file/simplefile/digital.html

But the last question on that page is "Are you eligible for any of the benefits, credits, or deductions other than in this list" and the list does NOT include tuition, so ... I can't use the simple return? But if I transfer my T2202 to a family member (income is too low to get any benefit from it), can I just do the simple return anyway?

Assuming I gotta do a more complicated return, any recommendations? CRA posts a list of 17 at www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/income-tax/personal-income-tax/how-file/tax-software/find-software.html. The only one I heard of is TurboTax, but they are kinda evil, and I'd like to 'stay Canadian', so looking for recs.

My girlfriend and I were looking at getting into doing matcha at home to save some money in the long run, but we want to do it properly. Does anyone know anywhere local (even like this side of Toronto) that has good matcha powder and sells proper whisks? I would rather not have to grab them off Amazon.

in 1b rn, last term I just doomscrolled(not rlly happy, not rlly productive), what techniques did you guys use to make it both relaxing and pretty productive(in terms of catching up with school, I procrastinated studying for midterms to the reading week)

We are considering moving from another school due to the recent changes to the French Immersion boundaries. Could someone please give me some feedback about these schools MacGregor and Sir Edgar Bauer?

How is the support in general, and how is bullying handled? Any information would be helpful.

Join TVO and guests on Friday, February 27, in Waterloo at the CIGI Campus for a discussion of what Canada can and should do. Tickets are free!

For this edition of TVO Today Live, Steve Paikin asks: have we done enough to secure our nation's digital independence?

Maps neatly outline a country's borders, but in the digital world, boundaries aren't nearly so clear-cut. As Canada finds itself revisiting its security and sovereignty due to on-again-off-again economic threats, have we done enough to secure the nation's digital independence?

If your data, your business software, your social media and online identity reside offshore, it’s subject to foreign laws and possibly worse.

Need a medical note , went to towline and they quoted me $40. Any cheap places?

Looking for any info about which store might be better for furniture/home decor/unique items.

I know both stores are roughly the same size and same # of vendors, but want to know if they have similar pricing, selection, etc.

Essentially if I only have time for one, which should I go to.

Have any of you seen any nice valentines plants I can buy for my wife and daughter in your travels around town? Not really excited to do the roses thing again this year. Was hoping one of you have been to Sheridan or grobes or knows a secret place I’m unaware of and could pass along some intel.

I bought some Wednesday and just had some last night they were SO good! Are they still on sale? Or did they change out the sales yesterday?
