After 15 years on King Street West in Kitchener's downtown core, the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre announced its new location. The 54-year old organization will be moving to 715 Fischer-Hallman Rd. after construction is completed.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre — known to many for its annual festival in Victoria Park — provides a wide variety of services for new immigrants to the community and operates an interpretation and translation business that saw service volumes rise to nearly 20,000 service requests last year.

CKMS spoke to Lucia Harrison, COO of the Multicultural Centre, to learn more about their relocation and what the organisation has been up to recently.
