CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH OFFERS SPACE TO CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
On Dec. 31 2025, Christ Lutheran Church proposed to add townhomes to its vacant lot at Anndale Rd. and Lexington Rd. to help move the Waterloo Region out of its current housing crisis. Christ Lutheran Church had a long-held vision for the future use of the site, which included an opportunity to explore new housing options. The proposal to add 57 rental townhomes to its three-acre lot has been put into action, with some challenge from residents.
“Neighbours and community members have continued to engage with us directly, and the city is also receiving input through its formal channels…We are taking all of this input into account through the ongoing review process of the application with our team and the city,” Carly Forrester, Director of Development and Planning at Kindred Works, said.
Kindred Works, a Toronto-based rental housing design firm, was engaged to evaluate what could be supported on the portion of the property identified for redevelopment. This work has informed the low-rise residential proposal currently advancing through the zoning process.
“Some residents have raised concerns about height—the proposal is for two-three storeys, similar to the nearby homes to the north and northeast, and much shorter than the six-storey retirement residence to the south across the street. Other concerns raised include the number of homes, potential impacts on traffic, parking and greenspace,” Forrester said.
The church has occupied the mostly vacant land since 1974. The plan involves retaining the original church building, while Kindred Works develops around it. Christ Lutheran Church transferred its property to its development partner for a total of two dollars in September 2025.
“We have also received support for the proposal, including the addition of purpose-built rental housing with non-market and family-sized units, adding much needed housing to the community, the fact the building is designed to be zero-carbon, and the retention of the existing community building,” Forrester said.
This project aligns with the Region of Waterloo’s Homes for All initiative, which is a part of the Waterloo Region’s 2023-2027 Strategic Plan.
“The project is still in the zoning process, and the timeline will be shaped by the results of this phase and the municipal review process. We are eager to complete this project as soon as practical to deliver much needed housing to the community,” Forrester said.

Canadian "govt seems to be listening to our demand to focus on building deeply affordable, non-market homes like co-ops, public, non-profit housing.
But they have no plans for for renters — or the millions struggling to afford housing RIGHT NOW.
Our PM & Housing Minister Gregor will be watching for public reaction … If they receive thousands of emails … it could be the push they need to deliver solutions for
people — not profit."

Charles Spurgeon, particular Baptist, on sham conversion. England took credit for being Christian while forcing countries to import opium at gunpoint. And it had the worst record for irresponsible alcohol use. This means ya ain’t converted, mates.
Do we want godly credit for 100% obedience, but only for the favorite virtues we think we can pull off?
How can you exercise moderation, and support fair trade?

I don’t think the current US police CAN be reformed. They are largely a part of generational bigotry (“police families”) and have created a work culture to match. They have no legal requirement to help people in the US. They have little to no accountability for the abuses they commit. They put training money into learning how to be more, not less, lethal. You can’t start with people who don’t value the lives of other humans and expect that they will improve if you throw money at them or give them even more discretion to be terrible. And the police union is the only one that I absolutely will not support, as it has repeatedly sheltered murderers and protected officers who should be in prison for their crimes.The whole enforcement system needs to be reworked with very small and heavily accountable armed forces only for actual emergencies. A larger group of unarmed civilians who are qualified witnesses can deal with petty crime complaints, minor vehicle accidents, small crimes, etc. where the threat level is low and paperwork needs to be filed. They can call in help if needed, but the vast majority of police work is this kind of thing. And also give a much more active role for various government agencies to step in with assistance to tackle root causes. And create a robust low cost and free mental health system to help those who need it, instead of putting them in jail (to die in some places).
And active policing like license plate scanners connected to databases of regular people’s movements, cell phone call interceptors (stingrays) at malls and outdoor gatherings, and other major time-wasting and privacy violating technology should be stopped. Local cops don’t need facial recognition cameras at peaceful public protests or large public events, ffs!
And has been pointed out to me today, a retrained call center is vital to properly classify and describe situations before the correct people are dispatched. These are front-line workers and should be trained and treated as professionals.
