Mill Courtland community centre expansion

 
Dear Community and Neighbours,
As the days begin to cool and we welcome the arrival of fall, we are excited to share some wonderful news. MCNA and HSCG are returning home to our newly renovated space at the Mill Courtland Community Centre. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to a refreshed space where neighbours can once again gather, connect, learn, and celebrate together.
Before we return, we want to express our sincere gratitude to our partners at the Rockway Mennonite Church for their generosity, patience, and support over the past 18 months. While renovations were underway at the Mill Courtland Community Centre, they opened their doors to our programs and community, ensuring that we could continue to serve the community with limited interruption. Their kindness and partnership made a meaningful difference, and we are deeply appreciative.
We are also pleased to report a successful summer of programming, including our Community Artist Showcase, Summer Camps, and Clothing Pop-Ups, all of which saw strong community participation and engagement. We are excited to build on that momentum as we return to Mill Courtland and continue offering programs, services, and opportunities for our community to come together.
To subscribe to our updates, please send your email address to [email protected]. You can also follow us on Instagram @millcourtlandassociations or Facebook @millcourtlandassociations, or contact us at 519-741-2491. if you have any questions.
Thank you for your continued patience, encouragement, and support throughout this transition. We look forward to opening our doors, welcoming everyone back this fall, and continuing to strengthen our vibrant Mill Courtland community together.

Warm regards,
MCNA and HSCG

Dear Ward 9 Residents,

II would like to start by thanking everyone for partaking in the many events held throughout downtown this summer. Whether a small live music event, a large City-run one or a visit to one of the local businesses or venues, your support is what makes Downtown Kitchener the place to be. I’d love to hear what your favourite events are and what you would like to see more of. Many events could not happen without the help of volunteers. Thank you to all who volunteered this summer―you know who you are!
As parents and kids prepare to return to school in September, please be reminded to slow down around school zones to ensure everyone is safe. You may want to give yourself a bit of extra time to get to your destination. I still have some ‘slow down’ signs if you would like one for your front yard.
Don’t forget to visit the Engage Kitchener website at www.engagewr.ca/kitchener to learn about City initiatives and give your feedback. You can even check out the road reconstruction projects in your neighbourhood.
While enjoying our parks and trails, please help keep them clean by depositing your litter in the provided garbage bin and, if you ride an e-scooter or e-bike, please use your bell when passing pedestrians and please slow down!
Municipal elections will be held on October 26 this year. Voter turnout is usually quite low. I encourage you to take the time to vote. Take your friends and family along with you. Every vote counts! Election information can be found on at www.kitchener.ca/election.
Contact me with your ideas or concerns at [email protected] or call me at 226-752-7104. I am always happy for the opportunity to assist the residents of my ward.


​Sincerely, 
​Councillor Debbie Chapman - Ward 9

Statement of Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity
The Highland Stirling Community Group, the Mill Courtland Neighbourhood Association, and the Mill Courtland Community Centre acknowledge the existence and impact of systemic discrimination within public institutions, including community centres. We are committed to creating equitable access to inclusive community programs that meet the diverse needs of community members. We do this through internal training on anti-racism and anti-hate, through partnerships with organizations that represent marginalized populations, and through the active recruitment of members of marginalized populations for leadership positions.
Anti-Racism & Anti-Hate Initiatives
The Highland Stirling Community Group, the Mill Courtland Neighbourhood Association, and the Mill Courtland Community Centre are dedicated to offering community programs that meet the needs of the diverse population of downtown Kitchener and area. We actively seek opportunities to partner with local groups to provide meaningful and equitable programming for marginalized populations.
