Trivia nights?

Hi all! I’m wondering if anyone knows about any places in Cambridge that do weekly trivia nights? Evo used to do them Wednesdays but looking around to see if there might be any others since that’s no longer running. Thanks!

Fireworks

Yes I understand it Diwali, but please no fireworks. First off it illegal, then you have pets and people that can't deal with fireworks. My neighborhood has had them going off for over an hour, between that and the neighborhood dogs my nerves are shot

They been lighting fireworks for the last 2 days, 3 including today

Edit: seems to be only allowed on Nov 1

https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/are-fireworks-allowed-in-your-city-for-diwali-1.7092089

Edit 2: again when I first Google a lot legal fireworksnot said victora day and Canada day, further looking into it said diwali. I can't do fireworks due to ptsd no matter the holiday, my son can't do them. My neighbour had his dog outside setting fireworks off in fbvront of him and the dog was going berserk. I'm not trying to be a Karen, and If I'm am fine. But a lot of people don't do fireworks due to many reathers. I'm fine with holidays, but I honestly think all fireworks no matter what hoikday showed be banned or if they have to have them in one main area.

How's your Halloween turn out going?

I'm wondering how the Trick or Treat traffic is going around different parts of Cambridge. Have you had many kids yet?

So far, it's been shockingly slow in our part of Preston. We've only had 7 kids show up for goodies so far. I'm not sure if it is the windy weather or some other reason for the low turnout this year. It looks as if we'll have an abundance of leftover chips and chocolate.

It's a bit sad to see this tradition going away.

Is this just regional to our area, or are others experiencing this.

Looking for therapist

I’m looking for personal recommendations for a good therapist in the Tri-Cities area. I’ve tried many different therapists in the past, mostly those who use CBT, but to be honest I haven’t had much success with that approach. Looking for any recommendations of a therapist who is genuine, empathetic, and who will engage on a personal level without adhering too strictly to any one therapeutic model.

Cake Help!

This is a very niche, very specific type of request that I completely understand if everybody ignores.

I LOVE fortinos cake. I live off of it, and I eat literal whole cakes throughout the week from Fortinos (I used to live in Brampton). Fortinos has a very specific type of frosting, it's heavy and gluttonus and de-fucking-licious. I tried a cake from Sobey's and the frosting was too light for my tastes.

Is there anywhere in the Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph area where I can get a cake with that type of frosting?

Does anyone skateboard in Cambridge Ontario?

I normally see an occasional longboarder but I've never actually seen a skateboarder. I've been to a couple of skateparks in Cambridge and there is not a skateboarder in sight. :/

Anyone noticed increased rat activity in their neighbourhood?

If so, how are you getting rid of them? Lived in my area for almost 20 years and never had an issue with rodents up until last summer. My neighbours had a rat infestation in their shed and they have migrated to my garden. I’m worried about them getting in the house. I have dogs and other wildlife that could be affected by poison, so that’s not an option. TIA.

Looking to join a gym, would like to know where people go and why they chose that gym over others

Tell me about your gym experiences! I need help figuring out which gym will be best for me and thought why not reach out to people who actually go there.
