  • Old Bones: a Recent History of Urban Placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario
    Old Bones: A recent history of urban placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario through media analysis by Lee Barich A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2020 © Lee Barich 2020 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Kitchener, Ontario has experienced significant social and physical changes in its downtown in recent decades. Once an industrial hub, the City's urban core declined as suburban migration and deindustrialization gutted its economic and cultural activity. Now, the downtown sees a new light rail transit (LRT) system pass by the old brick industrial buildings where tech companies and new developments thrive. This thesis will offer a historical review as to how this transition occurred through media analysis. Newspaper archives show that this revitalization was the process of negotiating place, identity, and value amongst the City's leaders, its residents, and investors. This process revolved around the successful conservation of cultural heritage sites. Participants considered how to leverage these assets to reclaim the City's identity while also building a liveable space for its future. By exploring the important role played by heritage conservation in the City's downtown revival, readers will see how cultural assets can offer an economic, social, and cultural return on investment.

  • Conrad Grebel University College
    Conrad Grebel University College GREBEL NOW Defining Words “We want the words of our mission statement to come alive this year, and we want our various and individual names to come alive with the uniqueness and distinctiveness that characterizes each of us.” With this bold statement, President Henry Paetkau has set the tone for the entire school year. During Grebel’s commencement ceremony, students were asked to reflect on the individual words in the mission statement. Henry highlighted the verbs that call to action and the nouns that define the purpose, content, and meaning of that action. “What do those words, and combinations of words, actually mean? What gives them meaning? And how do they move from mere letters on a page to life and action?” In an effort to answer these huge questions, Henry postulated that “in our life together they begin to have content and meaning. They begin to carry us to new places and define us in new ways, even as we define them in new and unique ways.” Students, faculty, and staff were invited to sign a stylized mission statement - a symbol for the Grebel community this year. It hangs in the Atrium as “a collection of names and words that will be arranged and rearranged in many and diverse ways to give our time together meaning and purpose, to bring us joy and beauty, sometimes challenge and often comfort us, conjuring up our deepest hopes and fondest dreams,” noted Henry.
