Host: Melissa Bowman

Today’s Waterloo Region Weekly Roundup episode focuses on two weeks of discussions at Woolwich council regarding the possibility of A Better Tent City moving to a new proposed location on Spitzig Rd.

A Better Tent City is the community of residents currently housed in tiny homes at Lot 42 in Kitchener. They must find a new home by June 20 and have found a willing landlord through the Hamilton Diocese with their land on Spitzig Rd.

Tune in to hear more about the proposal, thoughts from residents who support this and those who oppose it, and also the discussion among councillors.
