Charles Street Transit Terminal

Victoria Park is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It is located alongside Charles Street, just west of Gaukel Street, in Kitchener. Its namesake, Victoria Park, has its eastern entrance about 100 metres (330 ft) south of the station along Gaukel. It opened in 2019. The station serves southbound trains only; the nearest northbound platform is at Kitchener City Hall station, about 250 metres (820 ft) away up Gaukel and Young streets. The station's feature wall consists of brown stone tiles with flowing, random striations. The platform is connected with Charles Street's sidewalks at either end, and pedestrians passing through walk along the platform. The station is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Charles Street West and Gaukel Street. It is immediately adjacent to 44 Gaukel Street, a modernist building constructed in 1962–64, which was formerly a Canada Post depot before it was converted to its current use as an arts centre. Across Gaukel Street is the Charles Street Transit Terminal, the former Grand River Transit hub in Kitchener until the launch of light rail service in 2019; it is now completely shuttered. Across Charles Street from the station is the 31-storey Charlie West condominium development, one of the tallest in the area. The section of Gaukel Street between Charles Street and Joseph Street was pedestrianized in the summer of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This came after a campaign by residents to pedestrianize the street, with city planners identifying it as a significant pedestrian corridor connecting the city hall and King Street with Victoria Park and its adjacent light rail station.

CJTW-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 93.7 FM in Kitchener, Ontario. The station, owned by Sound of Faith Broadcasting Inc., airs a Christian music and talk programming format branded as Faith FM 93.7. Various Christian artists are played, game shows, programs by various speakers/pastors. CJTW is "safe for the whole family" or "a safe spot on the dial". The station was granted a broadcasting license by the CRTC in 2003, and began broadcasting on February 28, 2004. On April 20, 2005, the CRTC denied Sound of Faith Broadcasting's application to change CJTW-FM's frequency from 94.3 MHz to 106.7 MHz. The licensee also proposed to change the authorized contours by increasing the effective radiated power from 50 watts to 1,585 watts, and the antenna height from 55 to 58 meters.On April 10, 2006, Sound of Faith was denied to increase CJTW's power from 50 watts to 141 watts (average) / 250 watts (maximum) and increase in antenna height (at the same location) from 54 to 58 metres.On February 27, 2015, Sound of Faith submitted an application for a new Christian music radio station in Kitchener that would replace CJTW-FM 94.3, which would operate at 93.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 420 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 58 metres). Sound of Faith expressed that a new license and frequency is necessary, as they wanted to increase its power and coverage area, but are unable to do so at 94.3, due to a similar low-powered FM station in Woodstock also broadcasting at 94.3, CJFH-FM, as well as potential first-adjacent interference issues with Toronto's CBC Radio 2 outlet, CBL-FM 94.1. In addition, the Rogers Cable system had since included CJTW-FM on its audio line-up in Kitchener, but as they have picked the station up directly from the airwaves from its master antenna between Kitchener and Woodstock, it often received interference between CJTW-FM and CJFH-FM. The CRTC approved Sound of Faith's application to operate a new FM station at 93.7 MHz, to replace CJTW-FM 94.3 MHz on September 17, 2015. In February 2016 the station moved to a new broadcast studio located at 604 Belmont Avenue West. In late 2020 they moved to new studios and offices at 24 McIntyre Place. On November 16, 2016 CJTW commenced broadcasting on the new frequency of 93.7 MHz in simulcast mode with 94.3. The 94.3 MHz transmitter was shut down on February 15, 2017.

The Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema (WFAC) was an annual international film festival for animated feature films, held in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It ran for 13 years, from 2001 to 2013. The festival was founded in 2001 (2001) to promote appreciation for animation as a narrative medium for mature cinematic storytelling, and to review and celebrate animated feature films in the venue they were meant to be seen: a theatre. The festival was unique in its focus on feature animation. Its selection of films suggested a desire to create bridges: from audience to animator, from anime to non-anime, and most obviously from mature audiences to mature films, which simply happen to be animated. The programme was also surprisingly comprehensive - in its first year the festival was dedicated mainly to anime, but it later became much more international. Perhaps reflecting its focus, WFAC has presented more animated feature films in public exhibition than any other festival in the world. One interesting development since 2003 was the festival's Tidbits programme, developed to search out and promote the creation of feature films by one single artist or very small groups, made possible by advancements in technology.
