There is no shortage of news coming from our local councils these days...and some of it is even good news! Check out this week's #Citified to learn about Waterloo Region's first net-zero-carbon municipal building, the re-opening of Roos Island, and the Region's Community Benefits Program. https://citified.substack.com/p/the-upside-august-2024
The Upside (August 2024)

Let's focus on good things happening in and around Waterloo Region

@dtkmelissa I love covering good news. In my weekly meeting at work we all bring a piece of good news, I think it's a good system.

Something I've been wondering about for the new branch. The East side branch in Waterloo feels very branded. It's not just the reading room. It's the MegaCorp reading room. It's not the children's sections, it's the children's section brought to you by the Tyrell Corporation.

Is the new branch more of that?

@preinheimer I haven't yet been to the Waterloo East branch yet and I don't know the full plans for KPL's newest branch but I hope it doesn't have that branded feel. I'll keep my ear to the ground for more detailed plans though :)
