Welcome to the Kitchener-Waterloo Wiki!
Notice: This wiki is now known as Wiki K-W and has moved to ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
WikiKW.org.
There is only some skeletal structure here at the moment, but we hope this will become a useful source for all kinds of information regarding the K-W area. RocWiki is the inspiration, but the region is different, hence the focus will likely differ. This wiki will try to preferentially deal with uniquely local things to encourage a vibrant, diverse community.
Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, is composed of two separate municipalities in the Region of Waterloo that have grown into a combined city of approximately 300,000 residents. The city is strongly influenced by the presence of two large universities, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. Several UW spin-off tech companies have become important parts of the local economy, supplanting the waning manufacturing sector. Both Waterloo and Kitchener started off as Pennsylvania German settlements, and horse-and-buggy Mennonites are still a familiar sight in the rural regions surrounding the cities.
Please contribute to this wiki! It's very easy to add information and to create new pages.

Odds and Ends
Wiki Info | [edit] |
(This wiki needs info.)
The priority is to get the wiki up and running, which means it needs to be well-developed structurally and usable. To that end, there is a priority list of what needs to be done.
