Regional Municipality of Waterloo

Waterloo County was a county in the Canadian province of Ontario from 1853 until 1973. It was the direct predecessor of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. Situated on a subset of land within the Haldimand Tract, Waterloo County consisted of five townships: Woolwich, Wellesley, Wilmot, Waterloo, and North Dumfries. The major population centres were Waterloo, Kitchener (known as Berlin prior to 1916), Preston, Hespeler, Blair, and Doon in Waterloo township; Galt in North Dumfries; Elmira in Woolwich; and New Hamburg in Wilmot. All are now part of the Regional Municipality.

The school opened in 1972 under the direction of principal Robert Chilton, and vice-principal Charlie Wilson, initially with grades 9 through 11, adding grades 12, and then 13 in subsequent years.

Elizabeth Ziegler Public School is an elementary school located in Waterloo, Ontario, at 90 Moore Avenue South, roughly one kilometre east of Waterloo's city centre. As of 2009, the school serves junior kindergarten through grade 6. Its principal is currently Ms. Susan Marchiori, and it has a vice principal, Ms. MacNeill. The school also currently hosts one mixed grade 5&6 enrichment class for gifted students. In 2005 the school was ranked 971st out of 2,850 elementary schools in Ontario by the Fraser Institute, based on the results of grade 3 and 6 students on province-wide standardized tests. The school was named after local teacher Elizabeth Ziegler, who had taught in Waterloo for 55 years. The original building was designed by Frank W. Warren of Hamilton and construction overseen by Alex Schnarr of Waterloo. It was officially opened on September 2, 1931 by George Henry, then the Premier of Ontario. At the time, it was Waterloo's third public elementary school. The first principal was C. J. MacGregor. Between 1940 and 1950 the school also housed some grade 9 classes because of overcrowding at Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School. On December 16, 1985, the school building was designated by the City of Waterloo as a heritage landmark under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. The building was built in Gothic Revival style and cost $121,999 to build, a significant expenditure during the Great Depression. The building was three stories tall and originally had 16 rooms, including double-sized rooms for household science, kindergarten, manual training, and assembly. Included in the design of the school was a nod to Waterloo's official flower, the gladiolus, which Warren had carved above the main entrance. Two extensions were later made, one in 1955 and another, consisting mainly of a gymnasium, in 1987. The school, which as of 2016 is the oldest school in Waterloo that is still operating, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2006. Students celebrated on June 21, 2006 and an open house was held on October 14, 2006. Lennox Lewis, former heavyweight boxing champion, attended the school in the late 1970s.

Seagram Stables was a Canadian Thoroughbred horse racing operation founded in 1888 by the wealthy distiller, Joseph E. Seagram. Located in Seagram's hometown of Waterloo, Ontario, the stables and large training facilities were built along Lincoln Road. Joseph E. Seagram established his breeding operation's bloodlines by importing mares in foal from English sires. Between 1891 and 1898 his stables won eight consecutive Queen's Plates, Canada's most prestigious horse racing event. In total, during his lifetime Joseph Seagram won the race fifteen times and horses from his stables won every major race in Canada as well as races in the United States. As part of a program honoring important horse racing tracks and racing stables, the Pennsylvania Railroad named its baggage car #5860 the "Seagram Stable". Following the death of Joseph E. Seagram in 1919, his sons took over the operation and would win the Plate four more times before dismantling their racing stables in 1933. Edward F. Seagram arranged to buy out brothers Norman and Thomas and he would go on to win the family's twentieth Plate in 1935 with the filly, Sally Fuller. Edward F. Seagrams son, J. E. Frowde Seagram, would continue the family tradition and manage a successful racing operation. Of such prominence, the black and gold colours of the Seagram Stables were adopted by the City of Waterloo. Eventually, the stables were torn down and the property was sold for real estate development.

Waterloo is a city in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is one of three cities in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo (formerly Waterloo County). Waterloo is situated about 94 km (58 mi) west-southwest of Toronto. Due to the close proximity of the city of Kitchener to Waterloo, the two together are often referred to as "Kitchener–Waterloo", "K-W" or "The Twin Cities". While several unsuccessful attempts to combine the municipalities of Kitchener and Waterloo have been made, following the 1973 establishment of the Region of Waterloo, less motivation to do so existed, and as a result, Waterloo remains an independent city. At the time of the 2021 census, the population of Waterloo was 121,436.

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.
