When my family first moved to Cambridge (Hespeler) in 1988, my parents signed my brother and me up to play softball with the Hespeler Minor Softball Association. This was my first experience with team sports. While I wasn’t always the best player on the team and we didn’t win the championship every year, the experience is what got me hooked on a sport I would play well in to my […]

A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be invited for a tour of the former South Waterloo Agricultural Society building on George Street. After doing this tour I am pretty excited about the potential this project offers to Cambridge.

Nicholas Ermeta is calling for the Gaslight condo heights to be reduced to 10 storys. This isn’t even an idea, it’s basically photo op to tell developers to adhere to the status quo and to cram this project back into the existing box of restrictive local bylaws.

Yesterday the adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, premiered in Canada on Bravo. There was one scene in episode 1 that prominently featured Downtown Cambridge, Mill Race Park in Galt. I don’t want to spoil anything in the episode, but here’s a few beautiful shots of our fair City.

As Waterloo Region moves to bi-weekly garbage pickup, here’s a few tips on optimizing your waste.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a question posed to social media about what should go into empty retail space in Downtown Hespeler. There were a bunch of different answers and it got me thinking. What amenities does Cambridge need? What do you leave Cambridge to find on a regular basis? I think most people in this region feel we need an actual IKEA(and not that pickup centre they […]

Last Thursday the big accouncement was made for Cambridge’s new Gaslight District, a total remake of the City’s Southworks shopping centre. The $100m+ project will feature two 20 storey condo towers which will make up the new Southworks shopping experience. There will be a high tech incubator space in partnership with Conestoga College, which is a first for Cambridge. And there will be amenity space and artist workspace as well. […]
