Ward 10

In Office: 2024 - present

Stephanie Stretch (nee Seibert) has strong ties to Kitchener, where she was born, raised, and currently resides with her family. She is invested in the people and places of Ward 10 and feels a deep sense of connection to the community’s diverse population. Stephanie hopes her role as a City of Kitchener Councillor will help her give back to the community that has given her so much.

Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from the University of Guelph and has over a decade of professional experience working in the not-for-profit and financial sectors serving youth, families, and traditionally marginalised peoples.

Listening to and advocating for constituents is a priority for Stephanie. She is passionate about community building, youth, affordable housing, ecological sustainability, environmental protection and expanding access to green space.

Stephanie lives in Ward 10 Downtown Kitchener with her husband, two daughters, dog "Snoopy," and in-laws.

What's new in ward 10

As winter settles in, I want to send warm wishes to everyone in Kitchener, especially after shoveling snow! Whether you’re skating at a neighbourhood rink, spending time with loved ones, or enjoying a quiet walk, I hope this season brings comfort, joy, and connection.

Looking Ahead to 2026
I’m excited to step into 2026 alongside our Ward 10 community. This year brings opportunities to strengthen our neighbourhoods, support local projects, and ensure sustainable growth. I look forward to working with residents, partners, and fellow councillors to make Kitchener an even better place to live, work, and play.

MuniciPal AI
The City has introduced a new component to its updated website called Municipal AI. This tool is designed to help residents quickly access information and submit requests at any time of day. This includes being able to easily report a pothole or look up local recreation programs.

MuniciPal AI reflects our city’s commitment to innovation and responsive service. You can explore the new platform by visiting the City’s homepage at www.kitchener.ca.
