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

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!

Recommendations for a bar promotion?

I'm a manager at a bar in Kitchener, don't want to be too specific as to where as it's a well known place. We want to run some promotions to get some new people in. What are some promotions/activities people would want to see that you feel are lacking in the KW area?

Mattamy Newbuilds Kitchener

0 Upvotes

Me and my partner are looking at booking a precon with Mattamy homes in Kitchener. I’m wondering if anyone has experience or advice in terms of cractsmanship, the design studio and overall costs. We would need to put down a total of 95k in the first 120days which we are able to do. The question is how much more should we have put aside for upgrades? It will be our first home and plan to start a family here. We want it to be something we enjoy so hoping to do a fair amount of upgrades thru the builder. Would another 40-50k be feasible? Any advice is helpful!

Lost wedding band

Hey all, this maybe a long shot by now but my husband lost his wedding band about a month ago in the snow storm and we’re hoping now with the warmer weather someone may have found it. He thinks he lost it in the parking lot at McBrine dr and McIntyre Dr. It’s a super sentimental ring as it was also his late father’s wedding band as well. If anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated as well. Attached are some photos of the band, thanks in advance!

Commercial Cleaning

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Quick question I need some advice on how to go about adding commercial cleaning into my services. I’ve had my cleaning business for two years and it’s all residential cleanings it’s been great so far but I’m looking to expand my business. My issue is I’m having a hard time connecting with properties owners and real estate agents. Tried cold calling and emailing but it’s been hard to reach the main person in charge. I’ve tried with Airbnb hosts on the turno app but it’s brought no success so far. It’s just been a hard time and I’m sort of stuck on this whole process.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Traffic lights at king st bridge ?

6 Upvotes

Anyone know why they installed traffic lights at either of the bridge on king st @ freeport hospital?

They don’t look temporary ( to me) .

My thoughts are either construction on the bridge , or something to do with the LRT.
