A networking forum for planning and development issues
Kitchener Citizens for Liveable Development are residents who are working collaboratively with one another, with City staff and City Council, the Region, developers, and other stakeholders for planning and development that builds livable, affordable, sustainable, socially inclusive neighbourhoods with a mix of housing in and around Downtown Kitchener.
We meet monthly to talk about issues that affect the residents of Kitchener on changes that are ongoing or proposed for future development. To contact us about any of your concerns or to join us, please email info.kcld@gmail.com.
