Waterloo Region: Gold Lam and Mobility Issues

waterloo region: Movies have the Oscars, television has the Emmys, and now Waterloo Region is getting its Bouquets and Boos of 2016, according to The Waterloo Record. So bring out your gold lam and enjoy the show. But that's about to change. The snow shovel of shame goes to Kitchener city council, which decided against providing sidewalk snow-clearing services.
