I’m so proud of the team’s effort since council approved the new cycling and trails master plan in 2020
Taking a page out of the Dutch blueprint, our hometown of Kitchener just broke ground on a continuous and protected cycling network that connects adjacent neighborhoods to the downtown. A cohesive grid of no fewer than 20 new routes will be designed and built by the end of 2023.

Today is an important day for those of us still connected to traditional teachings. Today marks the winter solstice. We now head into the Big Sleep. It’s a time to rest, to heal, to rejuvenate. It’s a time for stories and reflection. There is much healing to do.
