This walk is wheelchair accessible, and kid (and dog!) friendly.

Divercity - An Ode to Downtown Kitchener

Come along as we discover and appreciate the varied history, architecture, culture, and services that downtown Kitchener has to offer. We'll cover everything from the significance of streetlights and sidewalks, to the community organisations and parks you never knew existed. Open to all those new to Kitchener, as well as to those who want to rediscover it.
