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 />

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 />

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 />
