Suddaby Public School
Suddaby Public School

Suddaby Public School, originally known as Central School, is a public elementary school in Kitchener, Ontario (formerly known as Berlin). It is located at 171 Frederick Street, in the city's downtown. It serves grades Junior Kindergarten (JK) through grade 6. The school building opened in January 1857, and its first principal was Alex Young. Initially, the school building also accommodated the Berlin Grammar School (later the Berlin High School, now Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School) in the second-floor room in the northeast corner of the building. In 1871, due to the growth in population of Berlin and due to school attendance having been made mandatory in Ontario, the school became quite crowded and the high school relocated elsewhere. Attendance continued to increase, and classes had to be held in Berlin's fire hall in 1874. In 1876, a four-room addition was built at the back of the school. In 1877, Ontario's Minister of Education chose the school as a model school for the training of third class teachers. At that time Alex Young stepped down as principal and was replaced by Jeremiah Suddaby. In 1882, the first kindergarten in Ontario, taught by Miss Janet Metcalfe, was opened at the school. In 1886, accommodations again became inadequate. The Berlin Public School Board decided to resolve this problem by opening new schools—Agnes Street School (now King Edward Public School) in 1886, Courtland Avenue Public School in 1890, and Margaret Avenue Public School in 1894. The concept of model schools came to an end in 1908. Suddaby remained principal until his death in 1910, at which point the school was renamed in his honour. In 1921 plans were made for a large addition to the school. The cornerstone of the new building was laid on June 10, 1922, and the addition was formally opened on September 24, 1923. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1957. At that time, the school's original bell was donated to Doon Heritage Crossroads. On November 17, 1980, the school building was designated as a heritage property by Kitchener's city council under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation noted the facade, the archway between the main foyer, the archway between the main foyer and the original kindergarten, and the oil painting of Jeremiah Suddaby that was painted in 1912 by A. Y. Jackson, one of the original members of the Group of Seven. The basement was home to a special-ed program called McQuarrie Enrichment Program. Unfortunately, the McQuarrie Enrichment Program was transferred to Cederbrae Public School and A.R. Kaufman Public School in 2011. The school's most famous alumnus is William Lyon Mackenzie King, former Prime Minister of Canada.

Mill station
Mill station

Mill is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It is located southeast of the intersection of Ottawa and Mill Streets in Kitchener, alongside the CN Huron Subdivision. It opened on June 21, 2019. Access to the platform is from the west, directly from the Ottawa Street sidewalk; to the east, there is only an emergency egress on the northern side. The station's feature wall consists of ceramic tiles in a pattern of white, brown, and gray. The station also features the artwork Tall Tales of Mill Street by Terry O’Neill and Tara Cooper, with totems displaying elements about local legends. The station is primarily surrounded by residential and light industrial areas; the closest major landmark is the Concordia Club, a major venue for Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, located 300 metres (980 ft) to the south. South of the station, the LRT tracks share a corridor with the freight tracks but are physically separated from them. Each rail service has its own underpass of the Conestoga Parkway and bridge over Schneider Creek, before the LRT tracks divert at Hayward Avenue. Rail tracks have bisected the Mill–Ottawa intersection for decades, but the addition of LRT tracks necessitated that it be rebuilt in a way that Mill Street would no longer be directly connected. Traffic along Mill coming eastward from the direction of downtown is now directed southeast along the tracks to a T-intersection with Ottawa, south of the former four-way intersection; that intersection is similarly now only a T, with Mill continuing east but westward traffic having to redirect along Ottawa.
