Back to SearchWaterloo Region – The cities of Cambridge, Waterloo, Kitchener and the Region of Waterloo are excited to jointly launch a new public engagement platform: Engage Waterloo Region (EngageWR). The new tool gives citizens the opportunity to have their say on local projects and initiatives. With evolving needs and the advancement of online engagement, the cities and the Region have switched to a new platform that will better facilitate public engagement through more robust tools and a modern, user-friendly design.
A single registration gives participants full access to all online public engagement opportunities for the Region of Waterloo and the cities of Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo. Registered users can tailor their preferences to receive notifications about topics that mean the most to them. The interactive and user-friendly site allows users to participate in different ways and stay updated throughout the lifetime of a project.
Check out www.EngageWR.ca to see how it works and register with this new platform to stay informed about current and future topics of interest. Some of the current and upcoming projects include:
