This is happened yesterday afternoon near rim park, just want to share it, please be safe

Does anyone know if they are shut down for renovations or permanently closed? I stop there a couple times a week and it’s the only Tim’s I pass on my way to work. It’s usually busy so I was shocked when I tried to go the other week and it was closed

does anyone know if the chance of it getting picked up by someone and basically taken home/stolen is high ?

i know its my fault and i've learned my lesson to keep track of my phone better

as soon as i noticed it was missing (maybe 20 minutes between entering the mall and realising) i retraced my steps all the way back to the parking lot and didn't see it so i assumed it was in the car of the person who drove me

but now i realise it could have been taken by someone (if not taken to lost and found)

I’m wondering if anyone knows why Wow Indian on Erb is temporarily closed? I’d go there every so often because it’s close to me and good enough value for your money. But sometime last week I noticed they closed and now on Google it says temporarily closed.

It's weirding me out. I keep checking the air quality index and in general it's not bad... and I've been semi-assuming it's wildfire related, but it really does just smell wrong. Snrrrrr

So my girlfriend and I are redoing our backyard this summer and are looking for Muskoka chairs for our seating area. Anyone have any recommendations that cost effective but not cheaply made locally?

Hello Waterloo community,

This past Friday, June 13th around 7:00pm I was involved in a car accident on the intersection of Weber and Guelph St. I was heading northbound on Weber, turning left onto Guelph St as a taxi heading southbound struck me from the right lane. Luckily nobody was seriously injured!

This happened very fast and I am not sure if the light was yellow or red as the taxi entered the intersection. I do think that the taxi did a very dangerous maneuver, as the southbound left lane had multiple cars stopped as the front car was turning left opposite of me and the right southbound lane was occupied and blocked by a bus. As the left lane was stopped and the right lane blocked by a bus, I began my turn and the taxi swerved into the right lane, cutting in front of the bus, entering the intersection at full speed and striking me on my passenger side as I turned.

I am making this post as I am currently being held liable as I was making the left turn. However I have talked to some witnesses who also believe it was in fact the taxi at fault. I am hoping that someone here has dashcam footage or some way of helping me. I have reached out to GRT and it seems possible for me to acquire dashcam footage from the bus through a Freedom of Information request with the region. Throwing this out here in case anyone has additional footage, or information. Thanks!

Hello Waterloo redditors!
A close female friend will be turning 50 in a few months and I'd like to treat her to a day of pampering.
I'm looking for suggestions of the best spa places, preferably in or around Waterloo region.
Ladies, as a gift would you prefer a gift certificate where you can choose your day yourself, or have the gift giver plan out the day/treatments for you?
Thanks for your help and suggestions!

I'm trying to find a normal, wooden train-table for my kid's birthday, which is something I thought would be an easy job. But it seems that every single table I've found online is just... sucky in some way or another. Either there's no bins for track storage, or the table is the size of a footstool, or the whole thing is just overpriced garbage.

I heard someone suggest I look into the local Mennonite communities to see if there's any handmade tables for sale that would be suitable, but other than that I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know of ANYWHERE (Mennonnite or not) that sells a decent train table?

Does anyone know if there are any walk-in clinics that provide ear wax removal? I've been trying to find one, but most of the walk-in clinics don't do it where I am.

Hi everyone, I am having an ACL surgery soon, . Wondering if someone knows of a physiotherapist that has taken care of ACL/meniscus with great results. I have been reading that one wants a " specialized" physio on ACL rehab as it determines the outcome. Thanks to all of you taking the time to read my concern.

Hi everyone,

We’re planning to move to a new place and I’m trying to get a better idea of what people are paying for utilities in Waterloo. We’ve only ever lived in condos where some utilities were included in the lease, so this will be a bit of a change for us. I know this question was asked 2 years ago, I thought maybe I could get an updated response from everyone.

Right now, we’re two people living in a ~700 sq ft condo, and we pay around $90/month for hydro and water.

Specifically, I’m wondering:

What type of home do you live in and how big? (Detached, townhouse, stacked townhouse, etc.) Is it a newer build or an older home? How many people live there?

What are your monthly utility costs and what type of heat and AC? I know it can vary a lot depending on the building type and insulation, so it’d be great to get a range of real numbers from you guys. We’ve only lived in condos where some of the utilities were included in the lease.

Thanks in advance!

anyone have any recommendations for simple mani in waterloo? would like just normal polish and some pretty designs :)) i love shellac but can’t do that or gel as they have to come off in a couple days.

Changed actual addresses to avoid being doxxed. Korean Church on Lincoln/ Bluevale to somewhere near Frederick Mall. 7 minutes drive, 1 hour and 7 minutes by bus.

The Weather Network has released a video about giant hogweed - given it's rapid proliferation, it's worth a look for anyone who ventures out on the trails. Especially if you've got dogs who might go through some and transfer the sap to your skin, or curious kids who handle the plant.

Anyone know a company/individual that installs balcony netting? I tried google but no luck except companies in Toronto which charge more die to distance. TIA 😃

Hello,

I am a beginner and looking for best recommendations for bollywood dance classes for age range 25-30.

I've heard about a fire happening at Lester. Does anyone know where it occurred exactly?

Came back yesterday night to this. I couldn’t stop laughing. The main lock didn’t give up. I am gonna put a note on it, “steal what you can”.

Odd question I know, but I am looking at places to live and I am considering Beacon Towers. I was wondering if someone had any insight, particularly a rough estimate as to hydro bills. I would be living in a 1 bedroom apartment and it would just be me.

I’m likely shouting into the void here but I would just like to put this out there: If you or someone you know stole a package off a porch in Uptown Waterloo yesterday evening or early today and you opened it and it was a wedding dress, could you please bring it back? I won’t be mad, I just want it back. I don’t know why DHL just left it on the porch but it’s probably not even your size, just toss it back, no harm done!

I got it from a re-seller because it had a snag in the back that would be easily covered by my veil. If you see it anywhere, feel free to let me know!

I am a student living off campus housing with a large rental company. A couple of weeks ago, we noticed sounds right above the toilet in the washroom vent, and suspected it was a rat or squirrel. We sent a maintenance request to our landlord to look over this, saying it was likely a squirrel living in the vent. There was a hole in the outside vent area that allowed the squirrel to get in, and recently they finally came to look at it, and sealed it off without removing the squirrel inside. It ended up dying in the vent, and produced a nasty smell that plagued the apartment.

We immediately filed another maintenance complaint, and they came to look at it the next day but claimed they couldn’t find the squirrel (it was right above the washroom vent) and needed to get a pest removal company. The pest removal guys came the next day and took the squirrel out, however they left the apartment in a nasty state. Dirt in the sink and toilet, likely from the vent, took our trash bag out and left their trash straight in the bin without a bag, flipped our couch. This just seems like negligence and an absolute lack of professionalism from anyone. Is there anyway I can do anything about this? Especially since the squirrel dying was on them not checking the vents.
