Welcome to the Charles Street Terminal Redevelopment project page. We are excited to start engaging with the community about the future use of this site.
Public engagement is slated to start the week of November 15, 2021. Make sure you subscribe to this page to receive the latest updates on engagement timelines.
Background
On November 5, 2019, the Planning and Works Committee authorized Regional staff to initiate the development of a strategy for the future use of 15 Charles St in Kitchener, property which is owned by the Region and the City of Kitchener.
Consulting with the community on the best future use(s) of the Charles Street Terminal site, in coordination with the City of Kitchener, presents an opportunity to advance current planning and affordable housing priorities in support of a thriving economy. This strategy also presents opportunity to support existing businesses and attract new employment, investments, and talent to the Region.
Charles Street Terminal is currently a COVID-19 testing centre for Grand River Hospital and will continue to serve the community this way until December 31, 2021 and potentially beyond that date.
