Help Shape Programs at Kingsdale Community Centre
Official title: Kingsdale Community Centre Programming
The City of Kitchener wants to know what programs and services you'd like at Kingsdale Community Centre. They're using 'asset mapping' to identify neighbourhood strengths—people's talents, local businesses, outdoor spaces, and community groups. Your input will help create resident-led programs that reflect what the community actually wants.
Why This Matters
Live in or near Kingsdale? This is your chance to shape what happens at your local community centre. Whether you want more programs for teens, cultural activities, or just a welcoming place to connect with neighbours, your ideas will directly influence what gets offered.
What Could Change
New programs could be added based on resident input—things like wellness activities, cultural events, or programming for ages 13-55 (currently underserved). The centre may also extend hours, improve accessibility, and give residents more say in ongoing decisions through the new advisory committee.
