NOT FOR SALE!
Kiwanis Park is once again in danger!

 

 
The City of Kitchener has targeted Kiwanis Park as a priority on a list of parks to be declared "surplus" and sold for development. Jeff Willmer, Interim Director of Planning was quoted in The Record "The development of the sites would create jobs and generate tax revenue." Willmer goes on to say "These pieces of land really are not needed to meet a need, there is no gap in the supply of park land." Pieces of land?

On Monday December 8, 2008, the boundary (Option 1 as presented) for the new school in Northeast Waterloo on New Hampshire St, north of Schooner Cres was approved by the WRDSB Committee of the Whole. This boundary affects students enrolled at Lester B. Pearson P.S. in September 2010.

Last fall the construction of this new school was approved by the WRDSB Committee of the Whole and is slated to open September 2010 and will alleviate enrolment pressures on Lester B. Pearson P.S.

On October 20, 2008 a number of concerned folks presented at the Waterloo Regional District School Board Committee of the Whole as delegates to voice their thoughts about the possible school location.  The Trustees, did asked a number of thought provoking questions and in the discussion thereafter many, many different aspects of both locations (across University Ave on Woolwich or on the Eastbridge Schooner/New Hampshire site) were considered at length.  The end result was that the Trustees overwhelmingly voted in favour of constructing a JK-6 school on the Schooner site to be opened September 2010!  I'd like to say a hearty Thank You to each of you who contributed in any way, large or small, to a positive outcome over the past several months, the teamwork shown was second to none and truly an inspiration!

Waterloo Home Support Services (WHSS) arranges caring support for older adults or other clients, who could not otherwise access the programs or services they need to stay independent or involved within their community.

      

The Waterloo District Regional School Board Trustees have voted in favour of constructing a JK-6 School behind Schooner Crescent in Eastbridge to change the Lester B Pearson boundary and address the overpopulation at LBP. 

If you live in Kitchener-Waterloo and have traveled around the city even a little bit, chances are you
