The City of Waterloo, in conjunction with the City’s engineering consultant R.J. Burnside & Associates Ltd., would like to invite you to attend a Public Information meeting to review the proposed plans for the reconstruction of Longwood Drive and see how they may affect your property or residence. This informal ‘drop-in’ style information session provides you with an opportunity to review the project in detail with City and Project staff.

Date: Tuesday October 27, 2026

Time: 6:15 to 8 p.m.

Place: Beaupre Room – Albert McCormick Community Centre, 500 Parkside Drive, Waterloo, ON
