Our Vision

Residents take the lead and the city supports them along the way. It's a principle as simple as it is powerful. And it's the vision of Love My Hood.

Kitchener residents don't expect someone else to make their neighbourhoods great. You're ready, willing and able to do it yourself. Of course, we'll be there to help, but in the end, the best neighbourhoods are made by the people who live there.

The Love My Hood vision is built on three key themes:

• Great Places - Create a variety of things to do at outdoor places, to attract lots of different people to spend time together
• Connected People - Strengthen relationships between neighbours by creating more ways to connect with one another
• Working Together - Lead positive change through cooperation with residents, organizations and the city.

The following actions - to be completed in the coming years - will help turn the Love My Hood vision into reality.
