Wanting to share that I've chosen to make a new group on Facebook for Cambridge Ontario to share local events, local concerns and other happenings in town.

There are a few tents popping up in my neighborhood. Who/ where/ how do I report this? Preferably to someone who can help and online. I can’t find info to do so. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a local company to do some exterior painting on my house? I have a peak on my roof (2 stories) that is hard to reach. Not a huge area but I can’t do it myself. Thanks!

Title: Vietnamese-speaking Ontario homeowner seeking guidance after losing possession of her home in a disputed private mortgage matter
I am a Vietnamese-speaking single mother seeking guidance and hoping to connect with anyone who has experienced a similar mortgage or legal situation in Ontario.
English is not my first language, and I have had great difficulty understanding and protecting my legal rights.
In 2022, I loaned approximately $320,000 to someone I trusted. I have a written loan agreement, bank records and other communications concerning this money. I say that the money was never repaid.
In 2023, a private mortgage of approximately $600,000 was placed on my home. I later obtained documents that raised serious questions for me, including:
• Two different mortgage commitments issued one day apart, increasing the proposed mortgage from $540,000 to $600,000.
• A mortgage application containing income, property value, net-worth and rental-income figures that I dispute.
• A person who owed me money being listed as a guarantor, although that person was not an owner of my home.
• My copy of the mortgage application appearing to be incomplete.
• Questions about whether I received proper independent legal advice in a language I understood.
I moved out of the property in October 2024. The lender’s lawyer says that I voluntarily surrendered possession. I dispute that characterization.
In an email dated February 3, 2026, court staff advised me that no writ or court order for possession had been issued in the court file at that time. The property was subsequently advertised and leased by the lender. Title remained registered in my name when I last checked.
The lender later claimed that more than $1.2 million was owing. I am still seeking a complete mortgage file, a full accounting and documents showing how the mortgage was arranged and administered.
There are ongoing court and regulatory matters, so I am deliberately not identifying the individuals or companies involved. Nothing in this post should be interpreted as a court finding of fraud or criminal conduct. These are disputed allegations and concerns supported, in my view, by documents that I possess.
I am not asking anyone to contact, threaten or harass any person or organization. I am respectfully seeking:
• Information about Ontario lawyers or legal clinics experienced in private mortgage disputes, mortgage fraud allegations and self-represented litigants.
• Advice from anyone who has dealt with a private lender taking possession without a court possession order.
• Contact from an established journalist who may be willing to review the documents independently.
• Information from others who may have experienced a similar mortgage arrangement.
Please contact me privately. I can provide relevant documents with personal and confidential information removed.
Thank you for reading. I am doing my best to understand what happened and to have the evidence examined through the proper legal and regulatory processes.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here might know who the moderators of the Cambridge, Ontario Facebook group are, or if a mod happens to see this. I’ve recently noticed I’ve been blocked and, I’m honestly kind of confused why. I am an active member and the only thing I can think of is a post I submitted about the recent bylaw blitz affecting some downtown businesses. Since posts need approval before going up, I thought if it wasn’t acceptable, it would just get declined, not lead to being blocked. If I accidentally broke a rule, I’d really appreciate knowing what happened. If possible, I’d be grateful to be unblocked so I can keep participating in the group. If anyone knows how to reach the mods, I would love the info. Thanks, everyone.

i am exploring reddit and ways to socialize in KWC region...

Hello All,

I am planning to rent out my condo but I live out of town. Any suggestion for good property management company in Kitchener waterloo region

I didn't get a picture because I was driving but I just saw a black lab (maybe shepherd mix?) with red bandana around it's neck sniffing around the doors of the townhouses at Charles and Stirling.

It looked friendly, like an owned dog. I unfortunately couldn't stop to help it out but if this dog sounds familiar I saw it at around 10:20 am today, Sunday August 9.

It was near the townhouses labeled "Lee's appliances service" on Google maps. That corner of Charles and Stirling.

To the group of over 30 men who set up chairs and a microphone at the beach on Saturday. This is entitlement in action. There is a process for group events at the Conservation areas; you can reserve a pavilion or a group campsite if needed. Setting up a huge circle and yelling and stomping and subjecting everyone on the beach to your loud speeches is entitlement. At best you are oblivious to how other people felt, and at worst you enjoyed making others feel uncomfortable and outnumbered.

Currently away on a trip, I live by the new shanley building. Just wondering how much it rained there and if there was any flooding near by. Hoping I don’t come home to a surprise I don’t want

looking for nurseries/ plant stores for indoor plants for our new place! I think I passed by one on Strasburg in Kitchener but can’t find the name of it on google?!

Hello,

I have an active enclosed wasp/hornet nest attached to the exterior of my house directly above the garage door. It’s easily accessible from the driveway and below the second storey. I have photos.

Can someone guide me to a pest removal service that is reasonably priced and is highly recommended.

Thanks

I will preface this by saying that my feelings are not directed to the staff, nurses and doctor(s) that work tirelessly at the hospital. They have thankless jobs and I’m grateful to have them.

Last night I brought my elderly mother to emergency as she slipped and hit her head. She had a large gash on the back of her scalp that was actively bleeding. She had blood down her neck and shirt. Triage gave her a Tylenol and asked her to wait.

It took nine hours to finally see a doctor. She sat with an open wound in the waiting room the whole time. She was treated with five staples to the back of her head and we left after being there for a total of 12 hours.

When I inquired why it took so long to see a doctor, I was told that they only have one doctor that works over night in emergency.

Pardon me? I must have misheard you. Yes, only one.

The ER had beds with police-guarded angry convicts telling people off, and patients screaming and moaning. The environment was thick with agony. All of this I’m sure was a normal Friday night.

The time it took to see a doctor contributes to not only the physical, but the mental well being of those that require emergency care.

For this area to have only one doctor working over night in emergency care is mind boggling. This needs to be fixed. If we don’t have access to good healthcare, nothing else really matters.

Hello, just wanted to ask what’s the right procedure to finish our basement? Thinking of using it for ourselves and we already have big windows and just need a separate entrance door. Forgot to mention, previous owner already had their relatives living for years. Has a bathroom/laundry/flooring and vents working. No kitchen though. Thank you

They’re pumping the water out. That short storm really did a number on the drains.

Hello Kitchener, just hoping someone would let me know when blues fest shows start up again? We lingered downtown for about an hour and a half and had to give up. Would love to catch some music when it starts.

Please and thank you!

Update: looks like the tornado dissipated before it hit the city (4:14pm)

There‘s a tornado heading in from Orr’s Lake. If you’re in West Galt especially please message your neighbours to get into their basements.

Reposting since who knows what Reddit will push first.

Does anyone know where it was spotted?

Heads up

Huh?

Honestly he's probably having a great time

Anyone have surgery with her and how was it? I had a sling surgery and it did not go well and still have side effects. I just wonder if there are peers who share my experience?

Felt like a strong rotation just went by.

Edit: Funny how people have been downvoting this thread and my comments when I posted about what’s coming/ building up. Now we got an official warning which validates my post and they’re like Ohh.

When I was coming to Canada, I honestly thought I would experience a lot of good things. I imagined meeting Canadians, making Canadian friends, hanging out with them, learning about their way of life, and experiencing a completely different culture.
But as an international student, my experience has been quite different from what I imagined.
From the beginning, I sometimes felt like people looked at me differently. I don’t know exactly how to describe it, but there were moments where I felt like I was being looked at as someone “less than” simply because I was an Indian immigrant.
There have also been some genuinely beautiful and kind people I’ve met here. I don’t want to ignore that. But as the years have gone by, I’ve found it harder to build those connections. I’ve made some friends, but sometimes I still feel like I’m left out of gatherings or not invited to parties. Maybe sometimes it’s just in my head, and maybe there are completely different reasons, but when you experience enough situations like this, you start questioning yourself.

I also understand that some Indians have damaged the reputation of other Indians here. I’m not going to defend people who break laws, disrespect others, or come here and openly disregard Canadian rules and social norms. Honestly, even many Indians are frustrated with those people, especially when they record themselves doing stupid things and post it on social media.

But I don’t think that should mean every Indian is treated as if they’re responsible for those things.
One thing that has really affected me is seeing the amount of hatred directed toward Indians online. Whether it’s Instagram, X, or other platforms, sometimes I see Indians being attacked regardless of what the individual actually did. Most of the time I just scroll past it. But after a while, it starts getting to you.

I’ve also noticed things in person.
There have been times when I’ve gone to restaurants with my friends and felt like some of the staff were looking at me differently. Maybe I’m interpreting some of those situations incorrectly, and I don’t want to accuse people without knowing what they’re thinking. But that feeling of being unwelcome can still be very real.
The worst experience I’ve personally had happened while I was grocery shopping.
A woman who looked to be in her 50s suddenly shouted at me, “Go back to India.”
I was completely shocked. I hadn’t done anything to her. I was literally just shopping for groceries. I froze and didn’t even know how to respond. She repeated it two or three times.
Thankfully, another woman nearby told her not to speak to me like that. Later, the store staff came over and apologized to me on behalf of the customer.
That moment stayed with me.
More recently, I had another encounter with someone who was accusing me of things I hadn’t done and started making hateful comments toward me, including assuming that I was Muslim and saying things that I honestly don’t even want to remember.
I’m Christian, but honestly, that wasn’t even the main point. What hurt was the hatred behind the way she was speaking to me and the fact that she had already decided who I was without knowing anything about me.
I don’t even know exactly why I’m writing this post.
Maybe I just needed somewhere to say it because I don’t really talk about these experiences with people close to me.
My parents think I’m enjoying my life here, and I am. I really do enjoy many parts of living in Canada. I don’t want them to know about these experiences because I know they would worry about me constantly. I don’t want my friends to worry either.
But there is still this void that I don’t really talk about.
Sometimes I feel like I’m not able to connect with people the way I imagined I would when I first came here.
I’m not saying Canadians are racist. I’ve met some incredibly kind Canadians, and some people have genuinely made me feel welcome. I’m also not saying Indians are perfect. We’re not. There are Indians here whose behaviour I strongly disagree with.
I’m just wondering:
Do other immigrants, especially Indians, experience this feeling of being treated differently because they weren’t born here?
Have you ever felt like you were being judged before someone even knew you?
And for Canadians who were born and raised here, I’m genuinely interested in hearing your perspective too. Do you notice this happening? Do you think attitudes toward Indian immigrants have changed in recent years?
I came to Canada wanting to experience the culture, make friends, and become part of the society here. I don’t want to force my culture or way of doing things onto anyone. At the same time, I don’t think adapting to a new country should mean constantly feeling like you have to prove that you’re one of the “good ones.”
I’m not looking for an argument. I just wanted to share something I’ve been carrying for a while and hear from people who may have experienced something similar.

Looking for recommendations on where to get a men’s haircut in KW. New to the area and my boyfriend needs a fairly simple cut

I just finished successfully renewing our dog's license and I posted previously asking if anyone had the same issue. I wanted to re-post so that this would be found in search engines by our fellow residents.

Problem?

This link on the city's website does not work and should be replaced with this:

onlinelicensing.petpoint.com/OnlineLicensing/home?site=U9IerIqozeO8hSbumfMIVA%3d%3d&css=&bwId=_olp_15302077&orgId=

Residents have since been unable to renew their licenses.

How did we get here?

1. At some point the city updated the URL on their website with a malformed one
2. u/venomouschic was able to find a working link from a city in South Carolina here
3. In the working link, we were able to see that the city's URL was missing the site=
4. I visited an archived version of the webpage from 2025 and was able to see Kitchener's site= in the source code:

<iframe id="LicensingIframe" src="web.archive.org/web/20250731085456/sms.petpoint.com/OnlineLicensing/?Site=U9IerIqozeO8hSbumfMIVA%3d\\\&amp;css=sms.petpoint.com/OnlineLicensing/Content/Site.css" name="LicensingIframe" frameborder="0" height="450" width="100%"></iframe>

1. Which, when put into the link the city has on their website, it finally works:

onlinelicensing.petpoint.com/OnlineLicensing/home?site=U9IerIqozeO8hSbumfMIVA%3d%3d&css=&bwId=_olp_15302077&orgId=

1. Hopefully the city sees this and updates the web page with the correct URL

Looks like the City of Waterloo has a different vendor and system and it works great.

Just a random thought I've been having, but does no one care how much the constant screeching of the go karts in the mall ruins the food court?
I know the cambridge centre isn't exactly a hot spot to hang out but I used to go and eat food in the food court once and awhile but now it's just unbearable when those go karts are running. I have to go find somewhere else in the mall if I want to eat there, but there's really minimal table/dining areas aside from just outside the DQ. There still seems to be lots of people eating away in the food court anyway even when the sound is awful which makes me wonder, is this an uncommon opinion? Am I just a hater?

Hello, I’m looking for Tim Hortons closer to my work. I walk not drive and I’m just curious about this- There seems to be a Tim Hortons in the courthouse downtown. Is this open to the public? I’ve been in the courthouse what I believe to be main entrance before but it required going through security. Where about in the building is it? - I do not work in the courthouse just nearby.

Hello, I am planning to get back to running and run a marathon next year.
I was wondering if there’s a running track (for speed work) at Preston?
My child goes to daycare 11am to 3pm weekdays, so that’s the only window I have for running.
Thanks

Hey everyone,

Considering a move to the North Galt area of Cambridge, specifically around Water Street N near Galt Collegiate.

Been doing my research online but wanted to get some real opinions from people who actually live there or nearby.

A few things I'm curious about:

• What's the vibe like day to day?
• How does it feel walking around at night?
• Any issues with the neighbourhood I should know about?
• How are the neighbours generally?
• Is it improving or getting worse over the past couple years?
• Anything you wish you knew before moving there?

Not looking for sugarcoating.. just want honest takes from people who know the area. Appreciate any input.

Hi all, my friend had a scary encounter in the tunnel under Westmount road, near the Westmount and Highland intersection (image attached). I’m making this post to warn others in case this is a recurring figure.

My friend was riding her bike along this path early this morning when a man, older with shoulder length grey hair and a yellow shirt, started yelling threats at her out of nowhere. He said things like “I’ll murder you and leave you in the creek.” He also called her a “skank,” so I would guess he’s likely to target women. He didn’t do anything, but he’s obviously not in a healthy state of mind if he’s threatening strangers.

Please stay safe around this area. I know that families like to spend time around here and it is a common path for biking, so hopefully he will not do this again.

Hi everyone,

Is anyone starting the Bachelor of Applied Biotechnology (Honours) program this September?

I'd love to hear from current students or graduates about your experience. What are the pros and cons of the program?

How are the job opportunities after graduation? Is it relatively easy to find employment in the biotechnology field?

Also, I have a question for students who entered through the advanced pathway (Level 5). Do advanced pathway graduates have any advantage in the job market, or are they considered the same as students who completed all four years of the degree?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thank you!

Can anyone speak on when the January start date offers are expected to go out? I applied to all campuses. I heard Sept start date got early offers if you had a 93+ average or something like that. Can anyone speak on either last year’s offers or if you’ve heard from admissions? Thanks! :)

I am trying to pay my deposit through Flywire to confirm my admission, but it requires my student email address. Where can I find my email address? I cannot find it on my LOA.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
