| The Auditorium Neighbourhood Association began in
2001 the process to find a permanent location in the community that would
act as a visible presence for the Association within the
neighbourhood and a central location for organizing and running ANA
initiatives.
A site, the decommissioned Hydro Substation at the corner of East
Avenue and Stirling Avenue was considered for this purpose.
In cooperation, the City of Kitchener Community Services Department, the management of the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium,
and the ANA Board
drafted a proposal that was taken to City Council and accepted unanimously
by the Community Services Committee of City Council in the spring of 2002.
June 9th, as part of the Waddlefest, acting Mayor of Kitchener,
councilor John Smola, signed the license to use, as the final step in the
process to give the ANA use of 311 East Avenue, Substation 7.
Now that the official use of the building and property has been given
to the ANA we can
begin to make it an important and functional part of our Neighbourhood.
Linked to this page is the original document outlining the intent
and process that the ANA proposed for use and upgrading of the site.
The council resolution
allowing for that use, and the draft
License to use, signed with the city. The actual signed document
is kept with the ANA Secretary.
