Imagine a week in your life in Kitchener in ten years – how should we grow?

Kitchener, Ontario – The City of Kitchener wants to know how you think our city should grow. Imagine a week in your life in Kitchener in the year 2035 – and then re-live that week as someone else. What kind of home will you have? What will your neighbourhood look like? How will you get around? Join staff at the Kitchener City Hall rotunda on Thursday, May 1 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. to find out.

The activity is the latest opportunity for residents to get involved in the development of Kitchener 2051, the new official plan that will guide growth and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change. Refreshments and food will be available.

You’ll be assigned a future Kitchener resident and navigate through a week in the life of that person, making decisions at nine key points. Each decision will have three options, reflecting different ways Kitchener could grow. You’ll consider where they live, how they get to work, the types of places they shop and what they do to unwind. After you’ve looked at the future from someone else’s perspective, you’ll complete the activity again as yourself.

Visit the Kitchener 2051 Engage Kitchener page for the latest updates, the online version of the activity, a recording of the recent speaker series session with Helen Kerr and upcoming opportunity to host a conversation with your community about Kitchener in 2051.
