City of Kitchener Strategic Plan 2023-2026

The City of Kitchener is creating a 20-year vision that will chart a path for Kitchener’s future. This vision will guide City priorities and decisions that move us toward that shared future. 

Your contributions will help us define that vision and may be featured in future communications about the strategic plan. 

Write, draw, paint, take a photo, perform, or otherwise create and share your hopes for the Kitchener of 20 years from now! Creativity is encouraged. 

You can post visuals of any kind, please also include a short description of your hopes and aspirations for the Kitchener of 2043. 

The City asks several questions: 

What is the Kitchener we want to create for future generations? 

Imagine it’s 2043 and you have a new neighbour who just moved here from another city. What is the city like now? What would you tell them about how the city has changed? 

What have we accomplished over the last 20 years?

The City will also host a series of neighbourhood conversations at city community centres that residents can register to participate in this fall. These sessions will take place:

Sept. 7 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Williamsburg Community Centre
Sept. 8 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Victoria Hills Community Centre
Sept. 12 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Centreville Chicopee Community Centre
Sept. 13 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Bridgeport Community Centre

The City will also assemble a volunteer panel of residents who will work closely with City staff to develop potential strategic goals and actions for inclusion in the new strategic plan. Recruitment for the volunteer panel will begin later this year.
