submitted by /u/Zestyclose_Year_258My friends cat has gone missing in the Regina/Columbia area. She is a 6 month old Tabby with a black nose named Rosie, she is 6lbs and went missing sometime during the early morning today (Oct. 12th).
If you have any information please feel free to comment or reach out with a PM. Anything of help is greatly appreciated.
submitted by /u/footos89Not counting laurier cuz it's right there, but do you go to Mac, york, uoft, etc often? I feel like I always tell my friends "yeah, I'll visit soon" and never end up doing it. Like I don't spend like 4 hours on a bus or train or something.
submitted by /u/derekmiller05I’m a uni student and this is my first time living away from home. I miss my mom’s cooking so much but all I can find are Indian restaurants. I just want AUTHENTIC Bangladeshi food 😔. Do you guys know any spots or any aunties who cook/sell? 🙏

submitted by /u/FuriousToaster8What is the method for making 10/10 SlideDoc slides for CIIP? Like I want to make sure that I get a 100% on this part, so what's the best method of doing so? Any tips and tricks, and is there anyone willing to share their's from last year?
submitted by /u/Almighty_OsieI want to join a club or do something worthwhile but I have zero business experience. Everyone around me already has some sort of role or club position so I feel like I’m falling behind. Especially since I’ll need some involvement for co-op application as well. 🙁
Does anyone know any other opportunities coming up?
submitted by /u/qiyiuoDoes anyone have suggestions for a good place to trim dogs nails. This is for a dog who is older and really hates getting them done. So someone who is fast, gentle, understanding would be great.
Thanks!
submitted by /u/gdtestqueenWent for a walk and this cat ran up to my partner and I, meowing and demanding physical affection. There is no collar. Unsure if male or female.
They seemed scared of cars, which makes me wonder if they aren't just an outdoor cat, but a lost cat. On the other hand, they seemed quite comfortable coming up to me and hanging out and then crossing the street towards the auto shop across the road.
If you know of this being an outdoor cat or know a cat that's missing, let me know. I hope this finds the right people.
(I took a video, as well. In case that would help. I just couldn't attach it to this post.)
submitted by /u/GOULFYBUTTSo it's become a pretty popular trend to walk really long distances recently for some reason. They even made a movie about a competition where you walk. We therefore took it upon ourselves to push ourselves to our absolute limits and walk from Waterloo to Burlington continuously, about an 80 kilometer distance. The original plan was actually Toronto, but I guess that was beyond the aforementioned absolute limits. Here, I've attached some images of the journey (which are unfortunately out of order because Reddit just randomizes them). We started at SLC, went through Waterloo and Cambridge, traversed the whole of highway 8 to a trail which we navigated in the dark, passed through Dundas and visited McMaster, then finally failed around Aldershot GO after 24 hours. If you want to hear more details about the experience, read the recently published mathNEWS article and its upcoming sequel.
Seeing how far your body can physically go is a really cool thing and it's nice to see lots of people doing it! We will definitely train up to Toronto and complete the full trip. Here is your chance to beat us to it I suppose.
(Sorry if you want Strava/apple watch proof, the watch we were using to record failed and I don't use Strava :( )
submitted by /u/epic_watermanHello, I lost my white gold wedding ring in the fields of Eby Park in the Stanley Park area. If you find it please let me know. Small reward if found! Thank you.
submitted by /u/prisonscarnmikeMy program has a lot of group chats, probably one for each course since it’s first year. Some students share answers to assignments and assessments, some of them being the ones where it says collaboration is not allowed. I personally don’t share any answers; I’m just in the group chats because I sometimes have questions about course content or want to stay updated in case helpful information gets shared. Should I leave, is there a possibility of me getting in trouble just for being in the gc if they get caught?
submitted by /u/hr221332My son got me this cookbook for Christmas last year because he knows I’m a bit of a prepper. I don’t have a bunker or anything, but I do keep shelves stocked with canned food and other essentials. Seeing all the hurricanes, floods, and power outages over the past few years have made me a lot more cautious.
This isn’t your regular cookbook. Every recipe is designed to last months or even years without refrigeration, and the author includes the backstory behind each dish. It’s part cookbook, part history lesson, like a little window into how people used to survive when grocery stores and fridges didn’t exist.
I’ve been cooking my way through it the past few weeks. Some of the recipes are definitely unusual, but a few have been surprisingly good. My husband is probably over me turning our kitchen into a 19th century homestead, but I’m having too much fun.
Reading about what our ancestors lived on makes you want to try it, just to see what it was like. If you’re into history, old survival techniques, or just unique food ideas, I’d definitely recommend it. I asked my son where he got the book from so I could share it and he said he got it here survivalsuppers.com. Apparently it isn't sold on Amazon or in stores, just directly from the author's website who's a big survivalist guy.
submitted by /u/Humored-MeHi everyone! I’m currently in Grade 12 and starting to explore my options for undergrad. I’m really interested in biology and am hoping to pursue either medical or dental school after my undergraduate degree.
Right now, I’m trying to decide between Health Sciences and Life Sciences, but I’m not entirely sure which would be the better fit. For those currently in or who have completed either program, what has your experience been like?
I’d love to hear about: • The workload and course difficulty in each program • Whether one program better supports medical/dental school prerequisites • And how realistic it is to maintain a strong GPA (around 3.9+ or 90%+).
For context, I’ve been averaging around 95–96% throughout high school, and I’m wondering how big of a transition the workload is. Any advice, comparisons, or personal insights from students in Health Sci or Life Sci would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance :)

submitted by /u/Rare_Tune_8821Hi, I have an upcoming interview for Distributed Data System new grad role next week. From what I can hear, the System Design, and Coding rounds are different from SWE role. But I can't seem to find anything on what they specifically focus on. So, I am clueless at this point. It would be incredibly helpful if someone could give me an idea about what to expect. TIA.

submitted by /u/cinnamoneyrollsFor those who did not attend their convocation and collected their diplomas in person (as opposed to shipping it to them), did it come in the black protective folder, as seen in the picture on this website?
Otherwise, can someone recommend something I can use to protect the diploma in a suitcase while travelling? I searched online, but could not find any because the diploma is a non-standard size of 15.5" X 10.5".

submitted by /u/andromeda0406I’m looking for recommendations for a naturopath in the KW region that specializes in women’s health
submitted by /u/The_Bedtime_BoyHello, does anyone know any spots with low sodium options around campus for days when I can't cook (other than CMH)? I noticed most "healthy" spots like subway still have crazy sodium even if sugars/fats are lower. Thanks!
Edit: By low sodium I just mean reasonable/comparable to home cooking.
Edit2: In case anyone is wondering in the future, I looked through the subway nutrition facts, and for low (relative) sodium options, choose regular Italian or whole wheat bread, then choose chicken or tuna for meats. Pick Canadian cheddar (the yellow/orange cheese). Vegetables are all fine except for anything pickled, the crispy onions are surprisingly not bad in terms of sodium but probably aren't too good for you. Sauces are all pretty bad, but peppercorn ranch seems to be the best one offered at the Subway in the plaza, and Mayonnaise if you don't mind the calories. This honestly still runs pretty bad at about 2100 mg of sodium (90% of recommended daily intake lmao) for a footlong, but other options will get you much worse.
submitted by /u/ItsMeFLIBITHi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had experience with submitting a by law noise complaint because there are couple people playing instruments near my apartment (at a public parking lot) from 10AM - 6:30PM almost everyday (4 times this week). Loud enough for me to hear it constantly throughout the day. Are they allowed to do this? I can see that they are busking and asking for money.
Worst part is, they just keep playing the same music over and over again everyday and it's driving me insane
submitted by /u/PassTheBleach_Please be safe and avoid the area if possible
submitted by /u/PineappleCoupleexeLooking for reccomendations as i just realized I ran out of the food. Have enough in 1 of the 2 refillable loaders if I have to switch them out
submitted by /u/PineappleCoupleexeI heard it strengthens your application and also opens doors for scholarships? But my only issue is that it's in november and right after DECA, so I don't know how much prep time I would get, especially with gr 12 workload and extracurriculars as well. I am really good at math in class, but I know the competition would be different than a math test in class, and I've never done competitions before. Waterloo isn't my top choice either, it's my second-ish choice. So is it worth the workload? And if I get a bad score would that effect my application? Also what if I just do the Euclid instead of both? Would that reduce my chances of scholarships? Because Euclid is in april which is a lot after applications are submitted, etc.

If you stole this jacket, please find it in your heart to return it to the lost and found at Concordia, or message me. This jacket is full of sentimental value, and means nothing to you. It’s not even worth anything monetary. Please. Return the jacket.

submitted by /u/Full-Painter1582hi everyone just as the title states it’s been known that the quality of the new build condos in downtown kitchener and around are horrible.
i’ve been considering moving to the KW area away from the GTA due to the relaxed cost of living + a fresh start away from my hometown
the housing types that interested me were (to buy and not to own):
row/stacked townhomes - noise transfer is an issue i’ve heard (realtor.ca/real-estate/28772998/9c-164-heiman-street-kitchener?utm_source=consumerapp&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialsharelisting)
high rise condominiums - build and finish quality are 💩 and not worth it, dreading the day a special assessment comes
multiplex - relatively cheaper and decently sized but i’m not sure about the noise and build quality (realtor.ca/real-estate/28764594/50-howe-drive-unit-9d-kitchener?utm_source=consumerapp&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialsharelisting)
feel free to leave any comments or questions. if you own or ever lived in any of these housing types your input would be valued!!
submitted by /u/biguzivert111So I am a first year female student here. I have never been to an actual gym but I wanna start working out. I am scared to go to the gym alone and look like a complete idiot. I was hoping if there’s any girls who would be open to go with me and just teach me a few things here and there while working out :)

submitted by /u/Efficient-Cold5485What's stopping us students from protesting the parking lot blockages by allowing cars to funnel in with ZERO delays (you know...the service we expect, deserve and PAY FOR). We can make signs too, my DMs are open ;)
We can set up before the strikers arrive at 8am and work in shifts at the main E entrance which causes the most traffic delays not only for students/faculty but community members who live/work in the area too. Someone is going to get killed if this nonsense continues. I feel awful for pedestrians/cyclists trying to navigate the area...not to mention all the near head on misses from cars going into oncoming traffic to try further entrances down at A block.
Support staff: your continued rhetoric is to tell students to contact the president/MPP instead of getting mad at you for being unnecessarily delayed. Then what? We are IGNORED. The irony is not lost on me that I watch you block entrances while holding signs indicating that student success depends on you while simultaneously blocking students from entering campus in order to succeed in our education. You do not have my support as you are inconveniencing students who have paid tuition, not the management/government who are responsible for the mess we are in. We have paid full tuition and are 1) not receiving the services we paid for and 2) being delayed from entering the college campus when we PAID for the right to do so via parking passes. Hope you are proud of yourselves for shutting down campus entirely last Tuesday.
