Wondering if anyone knows any companys or opportunities for software development I've been laid off unfortunately due to my company of 5 years losing clients

Any good 25$ fade barbers?

Please suggest
Thanks

There are so many used car dealerships in town, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go? Or maybe more importantly, where to avoid?

About time somebody said it. We are lucky that in Canada we are free to practice our religion. Just don't push your nonsense on every one else.

Waiting on the second generator and think I need a tripod

Saw this cat roaming around, might be helpful if someone is looking for a missing cat, it’s near Myers Creek public school
I tried calling humane services and they said they can’t come unless the cat is confined.
Pictures are the best I can do as the cat keeps running away.

Visiting Cambridge in a couple weeks, wondering what everyone thinks is the best place to grab a burger & fries!

Looking for suggestions in Cambridge/KW for places that do IV infusions (Meyers Cocktail or B/C vitamins, etc.) I’ve found a few online so just looking for personal experiences with professionalism/cleanliness/etc. TIA!

Was hoping someone knew where to get good meatpies in the area. Looking for something similar to what are common in New Zealand. Usually 4 inches wide and taken to go, filled with beef or lamb woth gravy.

What is wrong with Cambridge Food Bank from cambridgefoodbank.org! I've been trying to donate on a monthly basis and I am willing to get their input on that about the requirements and HOW MUCH they can HANDLE. It has been 2 weeks trying to reach them and these guys either don't answer or don't call back. Is there a food bank who really needs donations? Either they are receiving too much donations already or are not interested already. (At least not enough to call back after 3 calls).

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for a French tutor in Waterloo Region, preferably someone who speaks Parisian French and is available to tutor two adult students.

We both have a basic understanding of French but would like to work toward fluency so we can confidently hold conversations while traveling.

We’re open to online lessons, but would prefer in-person sessions as we feel it would help keep us more accountable.

If you’re a tutor or know someone who might be a good fit, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Please go take a look at this post in the Waterloo group!

Started the day off today with a bald eagle in the backyard this morning. My house backs on to Eagle street, so, makes sense I guess

This is the longest we’ve gone with the poorest air quality.

Canada rates air quality on a scale of 1 to 10. One is clean, 10 is the worst. When it goes past 10 they just call it "10+", because the scale doesn't go any higher. Think of it like a volume knob that only goes to 10.

Waterloo Region has been sitting at 10+ since Wednesday morning. It's Friday. We've been stuck at the maximum for about 30 hours straight without a break.

If you're heading out today:
- Check the AQHI number, not the sky. The haze can look mild and still be hard on you. Environment Canada updates it every hour.
- Wear an N95 if you have to be outside. Cloth and surgical masks don't catch this stuff.
- If you're 65 or older, pregnant, have a young kid, or live with asthma, COPD or a heart condition, please take today easy. Genuinely, not as a nice-to-have.

If you’re curious about why this is happening: www.waterlooregionrhythm.ca/p/why-waterloo-region-s-sky-turned-orange-the-wildfire-smoke-explained

I've been going there for a few years, went there last week and all the staff seemed new. The doctor that checked me is not listed on their website dentistryonelgin.com/our-team. Any idea if they are under new ownership?

This is the worst I’ve seen yet in Cambridge. It may feel silly wearing a mask but the risk isn’t worth it!

Hi Cambridge,

My name is John Davies, writer of the cult classic film, Hobo with a Shotgun. For the last few months, I've been travelling Ontario, promoting my new novella, Man vs. Bear, and tomorrow, Friday July 17th, Im going to be at the Indigo on Hespeler from 11-5.

If there's any fans or curious book supporters on here, I'd love to see you!

Hey everyone,

Hoping someone here has experience dealing with the City of Cambridge building department or commercial zoning bylaws.

We are looking to put up an outdoor gazebo for our employees at our facility on Franklin Blvd (M3 Industrial Zone). The catch is that it will be attached directly to the existing building.

From what I’ve read online, the standard 108 sq. ft. (10 m²) or 160 sq. ft. (15 m²) permit exemptions only apply to fully detached structures or basic storage sheds. Because this is attached to a commercial facility, is it legally considered a structural addition and needs a full building permit regardless of size.

A few questions for anyone who has gone through this locally:

1. Engineering Drawings: Since it's attached, did the city force you to get a sealed drawing from a structural engineer for the ledger wall connection/snow loads, or did a BCIN designer suffice?
2. Commercial Hurdles: Did you run into any weird zoning issues regarding setbacks or fire separation rules because it was on a commercial/industrial lot?
3. Timeline: How long is Cambridge currently taking to turn around a commercial accessory/addition permit once submitted through the online portal?

Appreciate any advice, local contractor recommendations, or tips before I give the city building department a call!

Good Morning Everyone! Cambridge Ontario has very bad smoke along with London, Kitchener Cambridge and Waterloo and these are some images I took within the past 20 minutes. Air quality is only forecasted to get worse as the day goes on stay safe.

Trying to get online for work. Nothing working. Bells service detector says there's no issue but the 3rd party detectors are starting to get reports.

I know Cambridge hasn't actually been cut off from sunlight the way the sky looks and the smoke just makes it feel like it is

Has anyone else noticed the link provided for the event pictures taken before, during, and after have only whats maybe 10% of the picture actually taken? Conestoga has posted a few themselves that arnt even on the gallery provided

Anyone know of how to access the rest of the events pictures?

Is there anyone going to Milton campus for practical nursing fall 26?

Hey there, starting pre health pathway to advanced diplomas and degrees in the fall and I’m wondering what text books you guys needed and approximate cost?

Thank you!

My course needed an average of 65 to apply. My conditional offer said 75. I got a 73. Am I going to be rejected? Does the 10% increase apply to degrees.

Hello,

My girlfriend is interested in taking the public health program, she already has a public health degree from laurier but she likes how you can get the public health inspector license for this program. However her main question is how is the job market after graduating?

From our understanding is that it’s pretty difficult to get a public health inspector job right away, and you need some experience doing other stuff like health and safety jobs or ipac for example

If anyone can give us some insight that would be great!

Thanks

I am moving down earlier then expected so I was wondering if there are ways I can meet fellow students before school starts, specifically at the doon campus. anyone know of anything? I also saw on this sub that people in different courses make group chats, any for 2D animation made? Id love to join!

Hey everyone, I'm currently enrolling in the Welding Techniques program at Conestoga College as an International Student, and I'm starting to wonder what the actual job market looks like after graduation.

I know welding is supposed to be a skilled trade with decent demand, but I want to hear from real people or recent grads, not just the college's recruitment pitch.

Some specific questions:

• Are employers actively recruiting from Conestoga's welding program?
• How quickly did you land a job after graduation?
• What's the salary range you're seeing? (I know it varies by location/employer)
• Are there specific companies or industries in Ontario hiring welders right now?
• Did you have to relocate, or were there opportunities in your area?
• Any surprises about the job market compared to what the program taught you?
• Is the apprenticeship route worth it, or should I look for other certifications?

I'm genuinely interested in this field and willing to put in the work, but I also want to be realistic about what I'm walking into (I chose this over Mohawk College). Any advice from recent grads or people in the industry would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I got this email today from Conestoga saying that my Urban Planning course for fall 2026 was suspended. Does anyone know why, or when it will be taking place?Just want to take a 2 year course at Cambridge in fall 2026. I see they offer a Civil Engineering Technician course, which is kind of similar. I already have a student number, email and paid a pre-deposit. How would I go about putting in civil engineering or another course? Just wondering about similar experiences with suspended courses. Could I just swap it out? I just don’t know what to do next, thanks in advance!

What were your specialty options for your clinical placements within the program?

Hi everyone, i have to retake cpr bls/sfa and it’s only available at conestoga and must be done for my program here only. has anyone taken heal1400 before? was it relatively difficult in terms of evaluation?

Hi there,

I will be attending Conestoga for RT in the fall as a first year and was wondering if anyone else was and if I should make a group chat for us all. The requirements for health screenings are getting crazy lol.

Does anyone knows how is the Mechanical Engineering Technology - Robotics and Automation program in Conestoga ？ thanks a lot😀

In the 2026 Winter Term, the Condor Cafe for Doon campus was closed. Will it be reopening in fall? Does anyone know?

This may be the wrong place to ask this but thank you in advance! :)

Does conestoga send out early admission to those of us that applied early with high admission averages? If not, when are offers expected to go out? Thanks!

i just got a email from conestoga that the insurance program was suspended? did anyone else get this

Hey!! I’m going into the RT program starting sept. 2026. Would love to make/join some kind of group chat with others who are also starting RT!

UPDATE:
Hi again lovelies, just wanted to let y’all know it was a scam and I just reported it! Thank you guys so much for your input and hope you guys have a beautiful rest of your weekend! 💕

Hi guys,
I just got this email sent to my Conestoga email account and I’m 95% sure this is a scam but was wondering if anyone else who applied for OSAP got this

Thanks again lovelies 💕

Hi everyone,
I’m starting the Practical Nursing program and was wondering if anyone could share their Semester 1 timetable or give an idea of what the weekly schedule looks like.
I’m trying to plan work hours and would like to know:
How many days per week are classes?
Are there evening classes?
How many hours per day should I expect?
Is there a lot of online learning in Semester 1?
Any recent students who can share their experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am starting RT this fall. Can anyone share what the first year schedule is like? Are there any evening classes? Will I need to be on campus everyday?

I am also wondering about attendance. Is it mandatory to attend all classes in person or are they recorded and put online? Thank you in advance!!!

Hi everyone, I'm considering the Hearing Instrument Specialist diploma program at Conestoga College. Can anyone share their experience with the program, job prospects after graduation, current demand in Ontario, and typical starting and experienced salaries? Any insights from graduates or professionals in the field would be greatly appreciated.

I feel that my instructor’s grading criteria have been inconsistent with what was taught in lab, and the experience has caused a lot of stress. I’m wondering whether Conestoga generally allows students to transfer to another section or instructor in situations like this. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

My course requires me to have 80% attendance. I think i am below that because i missed classes due to me being sick. I don’t have a doctors report but i wonder if they would help me or if i should just give up.

hi everyone!

the uwaterloo premed club will be hosting a virtual med student panel on June 11 (TONIGHT) from 7pm to 8:30pm and we would love to see you all there!!!

we’re planning to host students from various medical schools in Canada (Queen’s, UofT, TMU, McMaster, Western, Ottawa, McGill) so this could be an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about a particular school directly to a student currently studying there.

the link to the microsoft teams meeting can be found here: teams.microsoft.com/meet/266723940410079?p=qdEsmwsMtoD3twWUdQ

if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to let us know :)

Will i be able to specialize from the several majors in the double degree math bba, like act sci, etc?

Current computer engineering student on first co-op term (after finishing 1A & 1B). I hear back from an employer tomorrow for a Fall co-op which if I get, I really would like to take. Is it possible for me to do this and then switch to stream 4 without any problems?

In theory it should work out because I would be perfectly in line with stream 4 (winter term we both would do 2A while having completed 2 co-op terms).

If there is anyone who has made this switch, please pm me or respond here with info on how you did it, I would greatly appreciate it!!
