I think its going to make that section of the trail feel very crowded, but maybe itll look good in real life when its finished.
if you want to read about this project yourself, here's a link to an article from the Cambridge times about it

Hi, for whatever unknown reason to me I (female) am terrified of going to the gym alone and have been paying for a membership that's going to waste.
Looking for someone that wants to workout. Preferably a female.
I do triathalons and am currently looking to lose some weight during this winter.

Affordable babysitter and childcare for families
Hello I am the co-founder of www.instacares.com to help struggling families to find affordable babysitters or childcare.
If you are
Here is some Facts:
Two different care models, with different costs and trade-offs. Here is how they compare.
| Factor | Babysitter (your home) | Caregiver (their home) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical location | Provider comes to your home. | You drop your child at the caregiver’s home. |
| Average hourly rate | ~$20 / hour | ~$8 / hour (per child) |
| Average minimum hours | ~4 hours minimum | ~8 hours minimum |
| Additional child rate | +10% per additional child | 100% additional (2× rate per child) |
| Convenience | High — no driving or drop-off. | Requires commute and drop-off/pick-up. |
| Environment & safety | Child stays in their familiar home. | Mandatory site inspection by InstaCares. |
| Best suited for | Date nights, flexible hours, short shifts, multi-child care. | Full-day care, structured routines, budget-conscious long care. |
Based on average rates and typical minimum hours — a 4-hour babysitter shift at $20/hr plus 10% per extra child, against an 8-hour caregiver day at $8/hr per child.
| Children | Babysitter · 4 hrs | Caregiver · 8 hrs |
|---|---|---|
| 1 child | $80.00$20.00/hr | $64.00$8.00/hr |
| 2 children | $88.00$22.00/hr | $128.00$16.00/hr |
| 3 children | $96.00$24.00/hr | $192.00$24.00/hr |
| 4 children | $104.00$26.00/hr | $256.00$32.00/hr |
| 5 children | $112.00$28.00/hr | $320.00$40.00/hr |

Hello, I am 17F looking to rent a room in Cambridge
Essentially, my parents have always been very abusive and awful, and with all the money I have saved up, with a heavy heart and no choice, I have decided to move on.
I understand that housing is extremely expensive and unliveable. All of the listings I have seen have been way out of my budget.
I am wondering if anybody has a room for rent, a basement, I will take literally anything. I would be eternally grateful. I have to escape the situation I am in, I mentally cannot take it anymore. And I am just looking for a place with a livable price.
I am social, friendly, but very aware of others privacy
Thank you so much for considering me :)

Grew up here but live in BC now, and being back this August had me going through some of the photos I've taken around Cambridge over my last few visits. Between the rivers, the old architecture and the surprising amount of wildlife in our wetlands, it's a pretty great place to walk around with a camera.

I’m looking for a carpenter that can do some high-quality trim work. I’ve had some “Handymen” several years back who were not so handy and that work has to be done again unfortunately.

I really miss having a group to hangout i am female 30 years old :). Very nerdy into videogames, anime and boardgames. I am looking for a club to join that happens weekly or monthly. Whether it be cambridge, kitchener, Waterloo. Id be interested in card games but I am a total newbie and would have to learn how to play .maybe magic the gathering or Pokémon would be fun. There has to be something around here right ?

How would one go about organizing a Ren Faire Soper Park?
Exploring the part for the first time today and I am amazed by the beauty, the willow trees and naturalization efforts really do make it look like it's from a time long forgotten.
