Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic was joined by representatives from the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) on Tuesday to break ground a new elementary school and community centre in Kitchener’s south end.
Located in the Rosenberg neighbourhood, the school will be home to 527 students and will house a 17,000 square-foot community centre.
Included in the community centre is a double gym, four program rooms, offices and enough space for an outdoor skating rink in the winter. It will replace the current Williamsburg Community Centre located at 1187 Fischer-Hallman Road.
“Thanks to our long-standing history of partnerships with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, our teams developed a great vision for building this new community center, which has been fully endorsed by City Council through our commitment of $6 million towards the facility,” said Vrbanovic in a press release from the city.
In a press release of their own, the WCDSB said the facility will be completed in time to welcome students in September 2025.
