Region of Waterloo Headquarters – Kitchener, ON

Region of Waterloo Headquarters Overview

The administrative headquarters for the Regional Municipality of Waterloo is located at 150 Frederick Street in downtown Kitchener. 🏢 This building serves as the central command for regional services that extend across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and the surrounding townships. Unlike city halls which handle local municipal matters, this facility manages broader regional responsibilities such as public health, social services, and major infrastructure. 🌍 The ‘Service First’ call centre and public counters located here provide residents with a single point of access for essential government programs. The building is distinctively designed and sits adjacent to the Kitchener Public Library.
