Waterloo Region – This morning at a Special Council meeting, Region of Waterloo Council approved amendments to the Code of Use By-law for 100 Victoria Street North in Kitchener.   The revised by-law:   defers the possession date to April 1, 2026, to recognize the added time needed to resolve the proceedings before the Superior Court of Justice;   removes the offence provision for the By-law recognizing that it is the Region’s objective to obtain vacant possession and not to penalize the marginalised persons on the property; and  codifies a transition process to provide greater assurance that the Region will work to provide alternative accommodation.
