The Social Development Centre Waterloo Region and School of Planning at University of Waterloo have completed the study that looked at the loss of affordable housing and displacement due to gentrification and rapid development happening in the urban core areas in Kitchener-Waterloo. For this project, we are looking to hear from people living outsiede of the core neighbourhoods in Kitchener, especially those in underserved communities with lived experiences of displacement due to development, renovations and change during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

If you know anyone who would be interested in participating, have them contact Faryal Diwan at faryal@waterlooregion.org, or call me at 519-465-6517. 

Participants and recruiters will receive $40 gift card. More information in the attachement.

The project is funded by the City of Kitchener and the University of Waterloo SSHRC Partnership Development Grant.
