The Grand Porch Party is back this Sunday, June 14, from 1pm to 5pm!
Due to changes in event rules, we've had to scale it down a little. You'll now find the GPP on Menno Street and part of Alexandra Ave. It's still going to be awesome, though! You can find the map and line-up here: https://grandporch.wordpress.com/line-up/
See you Sunday!

Singing Resistance KW is singing for Pride once again and YOU are invited!

Join us as we raise our voices in celebration and solidarity with the Q***r community and allies of our region.

For details about this full day event click here.
To learn more about Singing Resistance, check out our website here, or our Instagram page here.

WHEN: Saturday, June 6th from 3:30-4pm
WHAT: We will lead several songs from the main stage during our half hour set. I have included video/audio links below for the songs we are planning to sing if you want to review them beforehand but they will all be taught from the main stage during our set so no need for any preparation.
WHO: EVERYONE! Invite your friends & bring your family! This is a large event and we'd love to bring lots of joyful Singing Resistance energy! Even if you've never joined us for a previous event, you are welcome! All that's required is a willingness to learn and sing with enthusiasm!
WHERE: Willow River Park (formerly known as Victoria Park), Kitchener.
WHY: Music makes a difference! In this season, when many Q***r and especially Trans folks are fearful about what the future holds, singing together can offer a powerful message of solidarity and strength in community. Let us stand together and raise our voices in a celebration of love, joy and HOPE with this community!

Warmly,
Anna & the team at Singing Resistance KW

A census enumerator will be passing by our neighbourhood knocking on doors of people who did not submit the online Census questionnaire. It is still possible to do it online. If you don't want a visit, you will need the secure code you should have gotten by mail a while ago.

Completing the Census questionnaire is required by law, and follow up visits will continue until questionnaires have been completed

We wanted to share an update about the Alexandra Park Toy Bin.
The City is currently reviewing these programs, and toy bins without a clear plan for upkeep may be removed. We’ve been given the option to keep ours but only if we step up as a community to take on a more active role.
What’s required
To keep the bin, we need to:

Regularly check it and remove broken or unsafe toys
Keep only safe, outdoor-friendly items
Make sure toys are returned and the bin stays tidy

The City will still inspect the park, but day-to-day care is up to us.

🙋‍♀️ Volunteers needed
To make this happen, we’re looking for:
👉 2 lead volunteers to help coordinate
👉 Everyone else to pitch in when you’re at the park (tidy up, return toys, remove broken items)

This has been a great part of our park for years, and we’d love to keep it but we can only do that together.
If you’re interested in helping (especially as a lead), please comment or send us a message!
Thanks everyone 💛

Volunteers needed: UWNA weekly drop-in sports program.

The Uptown West Neighbourhood Association is reviving a free weekly drop-in sports program for neighbourhood families. Our plan is to run the program year-round: indoors through the colder months and outdoors when it is warmer. We're in the process of securing permits for the field and gym at Empire School on Fridays 6:30-8:00pm, starting in July 2026 and continuing throughout the next school year.

I'm looking for adult volunteers who can commit to attending these sessions on a regular basis, to provide access to the school, bring supplies (we will provide them to you), and support the activities. If we have a few volunteers, this can be done on a rotating basis so you don't need to be there every week.

If you are interested in helping launch this exciting new neighbourhood program, please contact Cat at [email protected].

We will share more details with the whole group when we get the program up and running!
