Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Stopped off at Kitchener’s ForeQuarter to snap a pic for this week’s column. They’re doing food three or four days/week. Today’s is the smashburger with cheese.
Mark ConnollyJust to fill out my new CoSocial account a little, please enjoy these photos of a Canada Goose and goslings just *owning* a multi-use path, along with bikes parked at my favourite local independent grocery store. Note that my panniers are full 😀🚴♀️❤️
Sam NabiAt Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery’s 70th anniversary event last week, I was taken by Monica Tap’s larger-than-life landscape “Road to Lily Dale I”. In a decentralized region such as ours, with few unifying symbols, the Grand River shows up as something that links us all.
Plus photos of some of the incredible public art in my neighbourhood.
Public art and publicly accessible galleries are not just a nice-to-have in #WaterlooRegion, they are part of what makes a neighbourhood worth living in.
I hope you'll be enwraped by the deliciousness found in these local sandwich shops
The lowly sandwich gets elevated as local chefs putting some mighty fine twists on what goes between the slices.
Local ingredients, house-cured meats, and globally-inspired flavour pairings are sure to make these heroes for breakfast, lunch and supper.
Bob Jonkman#BikeNite A1: #WaterlooRegion, as usual.
I wear a yellow reflective "snap band" on my ankle, and a silver reflective armband when I can find it. It used to be my ankle strap, good for holding my pants cuff. I wear both straps on the traffic side (left in Canada).
The snap band is too loose, and I'm constantly checking it hasn't fallen off. The armband is getting old, and much of the reflective surface has worn off. I may get something with lights instead.

Waterloo region's airport saw 100,000 fewer visitors last year partly due to lack of U.S. travel
Passenger traffic at the Region of Waterloo Airport fell by nearly 100,000 passengers in 2025 compared with 2024. The region says the drop is largely driven by shifting travel patterns and a reduction in flights to the United States.
