Interest to move forward with a broader focus. Also need for more clarity about what we are trying to accomplish. Background

  4. The Region of Waterloo (Chair Seiling) volunteered to help bring together partners to discuss next steps which could include a collective vision and a path forward.  UWKW, KWCF, WRCPC, LHIN and WRPS have been working with the Region of Waterloo to help develop an approach and process. This planning group has had two meetings with a larger "Reference Group" to provide advice on the development of a draft approach. Background
