The Waterloo Region Economic Development Strategy (WREDS), led by a Steering Committee consisting of the seven Area Municipalities and the Region of Waterloo, and benefiting from the experience of consulting firm Malone Given Parsons (MGP), was developed using a collaborative approach that engaged local community experts and stakeholders from a variety of businesses and community organizations.

The development of the 2014 strategy led to the establishment of Waterloo EDC, Waterloo Region’s investment promotion agency and the first point of contact for companies of all sectors wishing to locate, relocate or expand in our community.

The rationale for reviewing ice surface requirements in 2020 was the result of the Parks, Facilities and Recreation Services Master Plan recommendation to review current statistics related to ice use, conduct public consultation and confirm when a third ice pad project should be considered in the Township.  

Monteith Brown Planning Consultants Ltd. were retained to complete the study due to their history with the Township developing the first Ice Needs Analysis in 2013.

This study represents a joint analysis of a wide range of services/programs that are delivered by the four Waterloo Region Townships: North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich. 

The intent of the study was to improve the understanding of the services currently provided by the respective municipalities, and to provide information that will allow Council and staff to make informed strategic decisions regarding those services.

KPMG was engaged by the Townships to undertake a joint service delivery review in a phased approach. For Phase I of the Service Review, the Townships focused service areas – Fire, Emergency Management, Corporate Communications, Information Technology, and Library.
