Hey everyone,

I’m a 24M and I moved to Kingston this April for a full-time job. I’m looking to get more involved in local outdoor group things like running clubs, hiking meetups, fitness groups, or anything active and social.

I currently live with two close friends who are married to each other. They’re great people and I’m glad to be living with them, but they’re not really into outdoor activities, so I’ve been feeling like I need to build my own social circle here.

Outside of work, I’m trying to stay active and meet new people. mainly looking for friendships and a good community, but I’m also open to dating if it naturally happens. The main goal is just to get out more and connect with people outside of work/home.

If anyone knows of any running groups, hiking clubs, sports meetups, or casual weekend activity groups around Kingston, I’d really appreciate suggestions. Also happy to join group chats, Discords, Facebook groups. whatever people actually use locally.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hey everyone,

I recently noticed I might have a cavity in one of my teeth and I’m not really sure what the process is to get it checked. I just moved to Kingston and I’ve never been to a dentist here before.

A bit of context:

- I don’t currently have private dental insurance (I’ll be getting it in about 3 months)

- This would be my first visit to a dentist in Canada

I had a few questions and would really appreciate any advice:

1. How do I find and book an appointment with a dentist in Kingston? Can I just call a clinic directly or do I need a referral?

2. Roughly how much does a checkup and cavity filling cost without insurance?

3. Are there any affordable clinics or student clinics in/around Kingston?

4. Should I wait until I get insurance, or is it better to get it checked right away?

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has recommendations for clinics, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
