Unprecedented growth is happening at a time where housing affordability, climate, equity, and social factors are coming together to change the face of the downtown core. The pandemic has caused significant impacts to our business community. This includes the many businesses and organizations who rely on in-person engagement. The office community suddenly transitioned to working remotely, with uncertainty on what a post-pandemic work environment will look like.
As a result, it’s time for the community to shape a new vision for the downtown. This new vision will include a set of guiding principles for the next generation of community-led transformation.
Over the last several months the Downtown Community Working Group has worked together with City staff. They have shaped a comprehensive community engagement process and identified key themes and issues in the downtown. They will continue to play an important role, reviewing community feedback and creating a draft vision and principles based on your ideas.
Now it’s your turn.
The working group members and City staff are seeking your feedback. What’s your vision for downtown Kitchener’s future? Your contributions will help us identify a new vision and set of principles. These will guide decision-making for the downtown core over the next 10 years.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. The goal is to hear from you about your vision for the future of Downtown Kitchener (DTK). We are asking you to imagine what you would like the downtown area to look and feel like 15-20 years from now.
This questionnaire is one part of a longer-term project. The goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive vision and set of guiding principles for DTK. These will be founded on the values and priorities that are unique to Kitchener’s downtown as identified by the community.
There are seven questions in total. This questionnaire takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and closes on March 31, 2023. Thank you for your time.
