Thank you for participating!
The 2010 Who-are-you-Kitchener? community consultation has now ended. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and share your thoughts about the future of our city.

Compass Kitchener will analyze the results of all of the feedback received and report back to Kitchener City Council in late June 2010. The feedback will then be used to update the City of Kitchener’s Strategic Plan, the document which guides the city’s direction and spending each day.

Please note: The link to the workbook is no longer a live link.
