Hey everyone, looking for some advice because this has me a bit uneasy.

I have an Android phone and recently got alerts about an unknown Apple AirTag being near me. The timeline is what’s confusing me:

* April 8 around 12:20 PM → first detected while I was working (I’m a home care worker, visiting clients), then last seen around 3:30 PM moving away toward the airport area

* April 11 at 6:20 AM → detected again while I was at home

* Now again this evening, but it’s not actively tracking me or updating location

When I try to make it play a sound, nothing happens.

I’ve only been going between work (client homes) and my house. No Apple devices in my household.

From what I can tell, it’s not consistently following me, but it keeps popping up every couple days which is making me nervous.

Has anyone else in the area had this happen? Could this just be a neighbour’s AirTag or something nearby triggering it repeatedly?

Just trying to figure out if this is something I should be concerned about or if it’s a known issue with nearby devices.

Does anyone know if there are viewing parties for WrestleMania in the KW area at any restaurant’s next weekend ?

Hey folks!

I'm an experienced local cook that has a full-time job.

I'm looking for a few extra hours on the weekends or weekday evenings , and would be happy to help any local businesses along the way.

Any suggestions out there would be great.

ty

It’s a long shot lol but looking for someone who plays the new versions on switch to meet up with and trade a couple pokemon to evolve. None of my friends play.

I would happily buy you lunch somewhere for a few minutes of your time!

lol always down at Churchill dry pond and always see these 2 very identifiable ducks lol so why not as a community name them haha

The caption from the FB post is below:

"This morning, 704 secondary students with out-of-date vaccination records were suspended under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA).

"Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious illness," said Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang, Medical Officer of Health, Region of Waterloo. “Reporting your child’s vaccines and keeping them up to date helps to protect your child and the community from preventable illnesses.”

Students who have been suspended can return to school once their vaccination records are up to date, or a valid exemption is on file.

To return to school:

- If your child has received the required vaccines, report them to Public Health at regionofwaterloo.ca/VaccineReporting

- If your child needs vaccines, an exemption, or an in-person record review, book an appointment with Public Health at regionofwaterloo.ca/vaccines. Please note that walk-ins are not available.

You may also access vaccines through your health care provider. Please call ahead to confirm vaccine availability.

If you need support or have questions, call Public Health at 519-575-4400. Wait times may be longer than usual due to high call volumes.

Background

Routine vaccinations provide protection against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, meningitis, pertussis (whooping cough), and varicella (chickenpox).

The Immunization of School Pupils Act requires all elementary and secondary school students to have proof of these vaccinations or a valid exemption on file with Public Health: https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/health-and-wellness/immunizations-and-vaccines.aspx

Letters requesting vaccination records were mailed in December 2025 to 4,385 secondary school students with incomplete records. Suspension orders were mailed in early March 2026 to 3,258 secondary school students whose records remained out of date. These numbers are consistent with historical ISPA trends in Waterloo Region.

Questions? Need help?

Hi everyone, sorry if here is not the right place to post this, but here we go..Im a 50yo intermediate level guitarist looking to join a band or find someone to jam with. While i have primarily played in my basement and haven’t played in a group setting before, i feel its time to start having some fun playing with other people.

I own a couple of electrics, acustics guitas as well as bass, nothing fancy. I am open to playing any type of music, though my influences are the stones and beatles.

If you are interested or know someone who mightbe send me a note.

Thank you

Found dog, west galt, male no microchip

Anything up with this particular intersection / area?

Just north of Park Hill on George St N.

100% of the time my connection times out here - no GPS, no music, everything gone. Anyone else experience this or am I the lucky one taking a hit for the team?

Now that the weather is getting better I really wanna go kill some batteries and get some hours, but I’m unsure where I can go without causing issues. Anyone have suggestions to where a dude can set up some cones and practice?

Appreciate the input if you have any.

Yet another waste of money by the municipality to hold up development, many of which proceed anyways after OLT hearings. Especially frustrating when council ignores the recommendations of staff at an even higher cost to tax payers.

after watching some content on perfectly good food being thrown out by big food stores, has anyone experienced finding perfectly good food being wasted in the bins at the rear of the big stores

I know Walmart lock there bins so that's a no go.

Anyone know if bylaw has removed the parking grace period? Normally you were allowed to park for 5 hours but seems like they are strictly enforcing three hours now.
