RECOMMENDATION:
That the Downtown Advisory Committee reaffirms that the library be a key consideration of the
development of Centre Block in principle; and,
That the Downtown Advisory Committee suggests that the Kitchener Public Library represent its
justification and their vision on a more public basis.
REPORT:
At it's meeting on March 9, 2006, members of the Downtown Advisory Committee discussed the
development of Centre Block and the importance in relation to the development of the
downtown. The Committee members unanimously voted in support of the library being a key
consideration in the development of Centre Block; however, did feel that the Kitchener Public
Library provide the public with more of a detailed overview of the vision to clarify the benefit and
need of a new library.
