  6. "In simple terms, the city wants to turn it into a place where people can live, work and spend time, not just drive through."

    Huh. What a novel idea.

  7. If you need to be reminded of the importance of local journalism (especially important right now it seems!), give Midtown Radio's Community By Design podcast on local media a listen. So good! #WatReg communitybydesign.transistor.f

  8. Roads, libraries, and rec facilities seem like the very thing I would expect my property taxes to cover. Why do we try to tie it to new housing development (and also expect it to not increase the cost of that housing)? #WatReg #Housing therecord.com/news/council/kit

  9. “The faster you can make a transit route, the more it speeds up people’s trips, the more places people can get to in a certain amount of time, and the more competitive it is with other modes of travel. Speed allows us to better use our infrastructure and our existing resources.” Druker said. #WatReg therecord.com/news/waterloo-re

  10. Hard disagree on this one. Community safety is absolutely part of the mayor's job. It's unfortunate that we by and large assume that police hold all the answers to 'keeping our community safe' and arguments like this strengthen that unfortunate narrative. #WatReg #Policing therecord.com/opinion/columnis

  11. Egregious cop-washing in this front-page article about WRPS’s approach to systemic racism. Most of the article is dominated by a police staffer claiming the lack of participation must be due to apathy about racism, not our community’s mistrust of police. No opposing voices interviewed.

    Once again, legacy media basically copies and pastes a police press release.

  16. A Waterloo church will eventually house 57 rental townhomes assuming the project isn't cancelled due to neighbourhood objections. The church hopes to keep using it’s existing building while a Toronto-based development partner builds housing around it. The proposal includes 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units with one-third rented out at below-market rates. #WatReg #Housing #WatCouncil citified.substack.com/p/local-

  17. This Friday, One Million Neighbours #WatReg is hosting our monthly drop-in meeting in Cambridge. RSVP here: gath.io/91ET8dCs1JthrXFWxg6ry

    We're testing a federated event platform called Gath.io (@91ET8dCs1JthrXFWxg6ry). the process was pretty simple to set up! I appreciate the Calendar and Maps integration, and the fact that guests don't have to sign up to RSVP.

    Also, if you're in KW and need a ride to Cambridge, let me know :)

  18. "Enbridge Gas will face Waterloo Region in a hearing before the Ontario Energy Board to renew an agreement that would allow the company to continue building pipelines on public land without charge for another 20 years." This agreement seems so outdated. Glad to see #WatReg challenging it. thenarwhal.ca/enbridge-gas-wat

  19. When Devin left the Cambridge accessibility committee last year, it was because of the city’s inability to listen and act appropriately to improve access for people with disabilities. Sometimes taking matters into your own hands is the best way to see some small progress. #watReg pressreader.com/article/281590

  20. @flyingsquirrel This is announcement post with some context and a link to the map! onemillionneighbours.ca/2026/0

    We really made the project confusing from a branding perspective: created by One Million Neighbours in partnership with Civic Tech WR, the Neighbourhood Services Map is hosted on Connected KW’s website 🙃 #watReg

  21. Kitchener’s Duke St parking garage has been protected as an example of brutalist architecture #watReg #kitchener cbc.ca/player/play/9.7045269

  22. I will be walking 5km again in the 2026 Coldest Night of the Year. If you are able, please consider giving to support the essential work that Ray of Hope Inc. does for those in our #Kitchener #Waterloo #WatReg community who need it the most.

  23. @danbrotherston In #WatReg we are using the speed camera revenue to fund road improvements

  24. I'm joining Ride for Refuge this year in support of the Social Development Centre of Waterloo Region!

    The SDC does incredible work helping fight for tenants' rights, support unhoused neighbours, centre lived experience, and provide a commons pace for grassroots group to gather and share resources.

    #WatReg peeps, you can contribute to my personal target of $250 at this link: ride.w-ith.me/samnabi

  25. Really proud of my friends and neighbours who pushed for this vote to happen, and succeeded, despite a staff recommendation against the by-law! People power works. #OnPoli #WatReg flipboard.com/@ctvnews/kitchen

  26. After Conestoga College announced it’s closing its downtown #Kitchener campus and laying off 150 staff, we’re already starting to see knock-on effects.

    I went out for dinner last night, and three different restaurants were closed at 7:30pm on a Wednesday. Two had lights off with no sign on the door, the other said “temporarily closed as of April 27”. These are all independent businesses that opened in the last few years thanks in part to the new downtown college campus. Hard times :(

  27. So proud of Maribel and her neighbours for standing up against bad faith renoviction by real-estate-investor-slug Mike Beer 💥 Tenant unions work!

  28. @preinheimer We’ve found that group in the Living Wage Network and the Better Way Alliance (both of which have a more-than-representative membership from #WatReg)

  29. > The greatest innovation a techno-futurist brought / Was to have us oversee ourselves and build our own walls

    ⚡️ Not Enough (feat. Danny Hailé) is out now on @mirlo, with streaming pre-save for Feb 28th ⚡️

  30. Made a little update to our online shop at shop.fullcirclefoods.ca to show a 🍁 next to our Canadian products. Haven't labelled all the products yet but hopefully that'll be done tomorrow. We've always focused on supporting local producers but now is the time to swap out a few of the remaining American brands. #ShopLocal #CdnPoli #CanPoli #WatReg

  31. Open call for artists who need space in #WatReg — Meanwhile Spaces is a pilot program to make use of vacant buildings for artists of all kinds! Please boost, tag an artist, and apply by Feb 21: artsbuildontario.ca/spaces/mea

  32. Brand new advocacy group in #Wilmot #WatReg comes out swinging with this video. Perfect timing to galvanize public support for the farmers as we head into a year of elections. #OnPoli @kthomason youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&
