Neighbourhood Associations
Residents of Kitchener enjoy a wealth of programs and resources close to home thanks to a working partnership between City staff and volunteers from of the city’s many neighbourhood associations.
The City’s community programs and services division provides services and supports to all neighbourhoods through neighbourhood associations. Staff in each of the City’s six districts work closely with association volunteer committees and other groups to facilitate recreation and leisure program delivery, facility management and neighbourhood-based resource development.
