Kitchener City Hall - Kitchener, Ontario

Constant battle to clean out the mess made by homeless problem. Area could use more petrol as tent city resident coming over from Victoria and Webber screaming and high. Does not make a good impression for visitors visiting the city.

No longer Canadian based. They are only hiring foreigners, and I don't mean foreigners that have been living in Canada for one or two years but they are literally bringing foreigners over from other countries to fill in the positions that become available on the online webpage. I know this for a fact because I know some individuals that I've met in the company I work for now. They have applied for these positions, and they have been in to an interview or have been given the positions. While they only have a little more or less experience than I do.

Plus, I have applied three times to city hall in the last 3-4 weeks and nothing. Talk about helping your local community but hire new foreign workers. What a joke.

I am writing as a concerned homeowner and resident in the city of Kitchener to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding a $450 ticket I received this past winter for not adequately clearing the snow from the sidewalk adjacent to my property.
Like many residents, I made consistent and sincere efforts to keep the sidewalk clear despite the exceptionally harsh winter we experienced. This past season brought relentless snowstorms one after another, often making it nearly impossible to keep up, especially for those of us who are not physically able to shovel continuously or afford private snow removal services.
What adds to the frustration is the lack of municipal support for sidewalk snow removal in residential areas. Although sidewalks are public spaces used by the broader community—not just the property owner—there is no assistance from the city in managing their upkeep during severe weather conditions. Furthermore, I’ve noticed inconsistent enforcement, where some neighbors with uncleared sidewalks did not receive tickets at all.
This experience has left me not only burdened financially but also disheartened by what feels like an unfair system. I urge the city to reconsider how it handles sidewalk snow removal enforcement, especially during extreme weather conditions.

시청이 주변 건물, 도로와 함께 깔끔하게 정돈된 느낌.
이른 아침이라 조용하고 한가하게 느껴져..
자주 열린다는 많은 행사와 시민들의 참여가 어우러진 모습은 어떨까 궁금.

Edit: How is a 20% over year tax increase acceptable when the city/ Region provides worsening services year after year. This is criminal and nobody gets held accountable!

The city of Kitchener is an embarrassment on every level. I would like to know why our street was unnecessarily made 5' thinner to the point a firetruck cannot get down the street with cars legally parking each side. I am making this known for when there ever is an issue, the city is going to be hugely liable. Busses and trucks have already been stuck multiple times with nowhere to go.
Residents, if your street is being done, I recommend reaching out to stop and correct this before the failed infrastructure reaches your area. Of course, when reaching out to the city during construction or after the fact, nobody provides a proper answer to these concerns. The people making these mindless decisions never get held liable and we are the ones that lose. Even though it is our money wasted. Do better Kitchener and stop wasting our hard-earned money hiring grossly incompetent people to work on infrastructure design projects way over their head. Nothing against the construction company who was great and when speaking with them, they are stuck constructing whatever the brainless muffs designed.

REDCanada Review – City Hall Kitchener: Fix Potholes & Improve Snow Removal

I’m writing as a concerned resident of Kitchener. Our streets are riddled with potholes that damage vehicles and create dangerous conditions for pedestrians. On top of that, the city’s snow removal efforts are falling short. During winter, many of our senior citizens are forced to clean their own sidewalks and even help out in their neighbourhoods just to stay safe. This is not only unfair but also a serious safety concern.

City Hall must step up by addressing the pothole repairs and investing in a more robust, timely snow removal program. These improvements aren’t just about comfort—they’re about keeping everyone safe, reducing the burden on vulnerable residents, and creating meaningful city jobs that can support these essential services.

Please make these issues a priority for the well-being of all Kitchener residents.

Very well designed and interesting place.
