"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.

"Several local congregations are currently pursuing housing redevelopments. Each proposal has drawn fire from some neighbours." #WatReg #Housing https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/churches-homes-redevelopment/article_9939112b-4fdb-5fd0-a98f-af8dcdc400a8.html

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 https://communitybydesign.transistor.fm/s1/4

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 https://www.therecord.com/news/council/kitchener-development-charge-shortfall/article_95cb27ae-b955-5434-9eab-0087d03addc3.html

“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 https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/ion-kitchener-speed-trains/article_0a41693a-4c6a-57dd-bcdd-4abf5ee4e69e.html

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 https://www.therecord.com/opinion/columnists/tactical-officer-at-waterloo-party-a-sign-of-the-times/article_166ce112-9092-5433-a2f6-8a1ae8da323b.html

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.

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 https://citified.substack.com/p/local-news-and-views-feb-2026

This Friday, One Million Neighbours #WatReg is hosting our monthly drop-in meeting in Cambridge. RSVP here: https://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 :)

"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. https://thenarwhal.ca/enbridge-gas-waterloo-ontario-energy-board/

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 https://pressreader.com/article/281590952019192

@flyingsquirrel This is announcement post with some context and a link to the map! https://onemillionneighbours.ca/2026/01/11/announcing-the-neighbourhood-services-map/
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

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 https://flipboard.com/@ctvnews/kitchener-q0c2oi5az/-/a-oHlO8llGQCSWeH-APfU6bQ%3Aa%3A2823982346-%2F0

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 :(

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

Made a little update to our online shop at https://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.

Followed hashtags don't migrate, and weirdly you can't find a hashtag to manually follow it if you haven't federated with enough instances yet for those hashtags to have been used.
So I'm writing a post with some of my hashtags so I can click on them and follow them.
