The Region of Waterloo, in partnership with GrandBridge Energy, is launching RetrofitWR, a new program that helps eligible homeowners make energy-efficient upgrades to improve home comfort, reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

The Region of Waterloo is installing a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Roseville Road and Edworthy Side Road in North Dumfries. This design was selected based on feedback received during public engagement, along with technical analysis and internal review.  

The Region of Waterloo and the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) are moving ahead with two modular child care centres at Kitchener schools, creating 176 new licensed child care spaces, with The Healing of the Seven Generations and RisingOaks Early Learning Ontario selected as operators.

As we work to get more water to the communities where growth is happening, our team has come up with a creative solution that helps us treat more water, faster. See how it works, and the progress we are making.

View a timeline of the work underway to build a more stable, sustainable water system in the Mannheim Service Area.

Next month, the Region will begin the design of a water treatment plant for the Maple Grove area of Cambridge that would add up to 42 L/s of new capacity. 

A solution that will bring up to 100 L/s of new water capacity online is getting underway. 

The Region will be updating the Policy and Procedures for Responding to Groundwater Interference Complaints, after hearing from residents.

With a hot and dry summer in the forecast, the annual Water Conservation Bylaw is back. The bylaw will be in effect from May 31 to September 30 to help curb outdoor water use, which typically increases during the warmer months. 

With input from the community, Regional Council sets the direction for the Region as an organization and makes decisions that help improve the lives of Waterloo Region residents every day. Please refer to the minutes for an official record of the meeting.
