Fall is one of my favourite times of the year. I love driving out in the country and looking at the forests as they prepare for the colder weather. I prefer the cooler weather of the fall rather than the heat of the summer. Harvest time is also a great treat.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who put in endless hours to organize and run programs and events over the summer months. Your hard work is noticed and appreciated. Without volunteers, things would be very different. Thank you!
Registration for fall programs is underway. Check to see if you qualify for a leisure access card at this link: https://bit.ly/3pIZQ64
While city-wide events slow down in the fall, there are still plenty of family-oriented events you may want to mark on your calendar. Some of my favourites are the Fall Fair at Kitchener Market on Sept 16; Oktoberfest which will be back from Sept 22-Oct 14; the annual IMPACT Theatre Festival which is scheduled for Sept 23-30; and the "Howloween" Porch Party returning to the Gaukel Block on Oct 29. You can check the city webste for a full listing.
I encourage you to check out the Engage WR website, engagewr.ca, for region-wide feedback options and the Kitchener-specific engagement opportunities. When the survey is finished staff will draft a report that will be shared with Council and then voted on.
Please don't hesitate to reach out directly to me with your comments. Receiving feedback from you is what helps me decide how I vote on issues before us.
Contact me with your ideas or concerns at debbie.chapman@kitchener.ca or call me at 226-752-7104. I'm always happy for the opportunitity to assist the residents of my ward.
