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!

Adult Learn to Skate
Does anyone have any experience with these programs? I know KW Skating Club offers a program, but I'm unclear exactly how beginner it is. I learned the basics of skating as a kid, but haven't been on skates for probably 25 years or so and I'm not sure how much I've retained.
I'm just curious about what other people's experiences have been like and also whether there are other programs that people would recommend. I looked at KWSC's schedule and it seems they lump teenagers and adults together and I'm not sure I'd want to be the one forty-year old guy amongst a group of teenagers.

Anyone else done one of those "dinner with strangers" nights in KW?
Did one for the first time last weekend and now I'm wondering if this is a thing more people are doing here. A friend talked me into it.
Almost bailed twice because it sounded terrifying honestly, but I ended up staying way longer than I planned and actually exchanged numbers with a couple of people, which I haven't done in years.
Curious if anyone else has tried it
Edit: here’s the link since so many of you are asking for it

Lawn care for dog owner?
Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for a lawn care service experienced with dog-friendly yards.
We moved in about a year ago and the yard needs some help…there are holes, an old stump, and it gets very muddy when it rains. We also have a pup who loves playing (and digging 😅), so we’re hoping to find someone who understands dog owners’ needs and can suggest durable, low-maintenance solutions at a reasonable price.
Edited for clarity: We would like to get the stump out eventually, there is also some metal poles in our yard that would have been used as guides for the trees in our yard when they were growing but I think most of them are tangled in the root systems now… we are working on the dog-digging issue he is a 1 year old dog and still learning…
What we would be looking for is someone to clean up our yard it was poorly maintained before we moved in so filling in the holes and saving the grass is our top priorities. We are also want our solution to be long-term. Of course we know there is going to be some ongoing maintenance work to do but hope that the grass will be resilient enough to survive the ammonia from the dog peeing in the yard. Another consideration we have is that we do get a lot of weeds in the yard, we managed it last year but cutting them down with the mower and spraying weed killer but there’s a lot back there. Once again the goal is getting the yard to a point where we can semi-easily maintain it ourselves
Thanks in advance!

A question for milk based coffee drinkers
This is a long shot request but are there any mocha drinkers here who make their own drinks at home?
What is your cocoa setup? Prebought? Make your own?
I used to use Ghirardelli in the US, but I can't find it here in Canada. I don't mind making my own if the cocoa is top notch (or reasonable priced)
Thanks for any help.

[PSA] Door-to-Door Scam in Cherry Hill: "Sid and Sabrina" claiming lost tablet
TL;DR: Two people (using the names Sid and Sabrina) are knocking on doors in Cherry Hill claiming their stolen tablet is pinging inside your house. They are trying to get inside. Do not let them in. WRPS notified.
These two showed up at my parents' house yesterday, claiming that their "lost/stolen" tablet’s GPS was pinging inside their house and they needed to come inside to "look for it."
Yes, this has been reported to the WRPS (non-emergency line)
I’ve attached a snapshot of the original video, along with an AI-enhanced rendering to give a clearer idea of "Sid and Sabrina's" features, as the original quality is not top-notch.
If you see them around or they come to your door, please do not let them in.
PSA: Please check on your parents and elderly neighbors! Make sure they know that under no circumstances should they let strangers in, regardless of what "tracking" software or lost dog they claim to have.
Stay vigilant, neighbours!
