Join us on an engaging, fully accessible, 1.5km tour exploring four key spots along Schneider Creek and learning about the creek’s fascinating histories and possible futures.
The original Chonnonton trail into this region – later called Mississauga Rd, then Mill St. – followed the stream up from the Grand River. In the 19th century, Schneider Creek became the sewage drain for waste from Berlin’s many factories and tanneries, and for the past 90 years, it has managed stormwater for the City of Kitchener.
But now a kilometer of Schneider Creek is about to undergo a significant transformation. The City is planning to “re-naturalize” the confluence of Shoemaker and Schneider Creeks, remove the cement channel and re-meander the creek through former brownfield and industrial lots. What might this project look like, and what would this new Schneider Creek greenway need from city residents?
