Recreation Facilities in Kitchener – feedback to the City of Kitchener’s Leisure Facilities Master Plan until January 25, 2019

Staff and SMH Community supporters,

Please take a moment (10 minutes or less) to complete a short online survey (“Have a say where you play“) about recreation facilities in Kitchener, and please mention the need for a TRACK facility.  This is a great opportunity to advocate for our community!
