City of Kitchener Mayor and council<br />

Message from the Mayor of Kitchener<br />

Welcome to the spring edition of Active<br />

Kitchener, <strong>for</strong>merly Leisure Magazine! Now that<br />

the holidays are behind us, it’s a great time to<br />

start thinking about how you want to celebrate<br />

Canada during its 150th birthday. Whether in<br />

our community or across the country, there will<br />

be lots to see and do. It’s also time to make the<br />

most of the remaining weeks of winter, while<br />

looking <strong>for</strong>ward to spring when we can get<br />

outdoors and reconnect with others in our community.<br />

Speaking of community, I am a strong believer that we have some<br />

very special individuals in our community who play a vital role<br />

in ensuring Kitchener is a healthy, vibrant and exciting place to<br />

live, work and play <strong>today</strong>, and in the future. This was part of my<br />

thinking when I introduced the Mayor’s City Builder Awards. We<br />

are <strong>for</strong>tunate to have so many outstanding citizens to choose<br />

from right here in Kitchener, including our 2017 recipients: Don<br />

Bourgeois, Nadia Muhammad, Dr. Michael Stephenson, Brooke<br />

Robinson, Warren Stauch, and Reception House. Congratulations<br />

to all our winners!<br />

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of the volunteers,<br />

instructors, staff, event planners, board members, and everyone<br />

who participates in the planning and running of <strong>program</strong>s in<br />

Kitchener. Your dedication and passion has not gone unnoticed,<br />

by the citizens of Kitchener or myself. On behalf of my council<br />

colleagues, thank you <strong>for</strong> your investment in our community!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Berry Vrbanovic, Mayor, City of Kitchener<br />

City of Kitchener volunteer opportunities<br />

Volunteer With Us<br />

We know that one of our greatest strengths in our<br />

community is our wonderful volunteers. Whether it<br />

is a one-time event volunteer or a committed weekly<br />

meal <strong>program</strong> volunteer - our volunteers make a<br />

difference in our community. They make <strong>program</strong>s and<br />

services possible, they share their voices on issues and<br />

they can change a group of houses into a connected<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

Participate in city government<br />

Your participation in the work the city does is an important<br />

step to ensure we are able to build Kitchener <strong>for</strong> the<br />

future. We want to make it easier <strong>for</strong> you to know more<br />

about what we do and how you can get involved. Our<br />

guidebook, City Hall 101, provides valuable in<strong>for</strong>mation to<br />

help you understand how decisions are made at the city,<br />

how we can work together with the public and what role<br />

they can play in decision making.<br />

You can also book a classroom or group tour of City Hall to<br />

learn more about how municipal government works. Call<br />

Rebecca Florence to learn more 519-741-2200 x 7537<br />

bustle of the city in one of Kitchener’s 75 natural areas.<br />

With something <strong>for</strong> everyone, Kitchener’s destination<br />

or chasing around a playground. Most of the city’s parks<br />

at 801 Trillium Dr.<br />

Auditorium Neighbourhood Association<br />

auditoriumna.org auditoriumna@gmail.com /Auditoriumneighbourhoodkitchener<br />

The Auditorium Neighbourhood Association (ANA) is bounded by Krug, Weber, Ottawa and the expressway. With over 1000<br />

households in the ANA, it is one of the oldest and most well established neighbourhoods in Kitchener. It is lucky to have<br />

majestic tree cover, great parks, two schools and of course, the namesake Auditorium, home of the Kitchener Rangers.<br />

The ANA is a member of the Downtown Neighbourhood Alliance (DNA) with access to the Downtown Community Centre on<br />

Weber street. We also have access to the Stanley Park Community Centre and the facilities at the Auditorium.<br />

The ANA is dedicated to offering <strong>program</strong>s and activities to all members of the community. The activities range from one-time<br />

yearly events to more regularly scheduled and anticipated events.<br />

Recent events have included:<br />

• Waddlefest (usually held in June)<br />

• The 2015 celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the neighbourhood - which included the inauguration of the new Pavilion!<br />

• The annual Fall musical Porch Party<br />

• HoodKicks soccer <strong>program</strong> <strong>for</strong> over 100 kids each spring<br />

• Running Club<br />

• Family Day skating in February<br />

Are you interested to know what the ANA is up to in the future? Keep in touch with the ANA. Like our Facebook page or watch<br />

<strong>for</strong> announcements on our webpage at AUDITORIUMNA.ORG. The website is filled with great in<strong>for</strong>mation including a history<br />

section and links to social media. And of course, join our email distribution list by contacting auditoriumna@gmail.com<br />

Another great way to keep in touch with upcoming events and activities is to watch the (new) ANA bulletin board in the park at<br />

the corner of Stirling and East. There is lots of fun stuff planned <strong>for</strong> 2017 -> keep your eyes open and be ready!!<br />

The ANA has an annual open general board meeting. Please come out! There are occasional open meetings from the board<br />

and ongoing committees. Watch our Facebook page, website and emails <strong>for</strong> details.<br />

Like all great volunteer driven organizations, the ANA is only as great as the vision provided by the active members! Do you<br />

have an idea of an activity that would be an addition to the neighbourhood? Then join up and become actively involved. We<br />

need YOU!<br />
