WOW. So I'm back here for a minute!

I don't know what's up with my Wordpress site, but sigh... here I am... back on my trusty old blogger page! hahaha!

It's kind of comforting, this site IS about 400x easier to use... but ANYWAYS.....

What's up? What's happening? I wanted to share this little video from Sandra Bender, the new GM for Centre in the Square, exciting!

As you may or may not know - I'm a member of the CITS board now - so def looking forward to working with Sandra when she gets here in May, but seriously... we should all be psyched to see the evolution of the Centre. Seriously one of the best performance spaces in Canada... it's true.

Have a good day! Sorry for the site confusion, hopefully we'll be back to normal soon!

DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE.

COME HERE: www.RQMAGAZINE.com

It's new and great and everything you love about RQ, but better looking.

It's like when you dump your high school boyfriend and start dating a guy in university who can actually get into bars and doesn't get ID'd at the liquor store!

You'll feel better about yourself.

Trust me.

Who Are You Kitchener?

Ok, so I haven't really heard much out there in the world about this project that the City of Kitchener is working on, called Who Are You Kitchener?

Basically, it looks like Compass Kitchener (who is a small group of citizens that advise council) is trying to figure out who lives here... the cumulative answer will supposedly shape the future of our city. And, since we're heading towards a new council in 2011... you get the idea...

The program runs from March 5 to May 5 (study delivered to council in June) and there are many community consultations happening... there's a schedule HERE.

They divide the population into 6 groups:

• Suburban Stability Seekers
• Community Activators
• Urban Promoters
• Small Town Stalwart
• Small Town Protector
• Fringe Dweller

Which one are you? Do the quick questionnaire HERE to find out.

I'm an urban promoter. hahahaha.

To get more involved check THIS link and work on the online workbook.

I'm doing it - so I'll keep you posted, but, feel free to let me know how it's going if you're also doing it.

Maybe I'm naive to think this is going to count for anything, but hey, who doesn't like the allure of having their voice heard?

(that's what i thought)

Ancestors of Kitchener

I found this through KW Insider a while ago, and didn't repost at the time, but mentioned it to a few people who all thought it was awesome...

so....

Here it is. http://deadfolks.wordpress.com/

Lynn Shwadchuck took a panoramic photo of the employees of the Kitchener "Merchants Rubber Company" taken on Sept 11/28 and is working at the photo to post the workers seperately. Crazy, huh?
