What’s On

Downtown incentivesAvital, dynamic downtown is essential to a healthy community. Historically,

it was the hub of a community, the heart of commerce and where peopleneeded to be.

Enter the 1950s and the arrival of suburbia. Downtowns everywhere suffered from theexodus of businesses and residents choosing the suburbs for work and home.By the 1990s, Kitchener’s downtown was in a desperate state. The city knewit needed to do something substantial to bring life back to the heart of the city.

In 1995, a plan was in place to make downtown Kitchener “open for business” and anumber of incentive programs were developed. Financial incentives are tools Ontariomunicipalities commonly use to encourage redevelopment of their downtowns.Because it is typically more expensive to redevelop downtown properties than buildsuburban developments, incentives programs, like Kitchener’s, can include waivingdevelopment fees, building permits fees, parkland fees and development charges,to reduce the construction costs associated with redevelopment projects.

Nearly 20 years later, with excitement and energy building in the downtown, thedevelopment charges by-law expiring and the city’s façade improvement grantprogram ending, it is time to review the incentives program.

“Incentives are essential to community building,” said Rod Regier, the city’sexecutive director of economic development. “Without these incentives, theredevelopment of Kaufman Lofts, Arrow Lofts and the Tannery would not havehappened. These former factories would still be sitting derelict today.”

Changes are being recommended to ensure these incentives are relevant tothe business community, reflect the city’s policy objectives and help to implementthe Downtown Kitchener Action Plan. These changes include extending thedevelopment charge exemption and the façade grant program and adding a newprogram that would rehab derelict upper storey space into new office space fortech startups. Staff is also proposing to discontinue tax exemptions and majorbuilding permit rebates.

“If we were to discontinue these incentives now, we believe that the consequenceswould be significant,” Regier added. “In fact, we estimate that intensification ofthe core would likely not happen over the next five years. Based on our analysis,we’re not yet in a position to discontinue the downtown financial incentives.”

Incentives do come at a cost to the tax base however, either in the form of foregonerevenue, grants or fees that the city has to pay on behalf of the developer. Staffis proposing changes that will reduce the risk to the city, the burden to the taxpaying public and still stimulate growth while other projects, like the LRT are stillbeing developed.

Staff also hope many of these incentives can be phased out over the next five yearsas we see continued improvements in the downtown.

To see exactly what changes are being proposed, and learn more about currentincentive programs visit www.kitchener.ca/downtownincentives. Your commentsare welcome and encouraged. �

The folklore ofKitchener UtilitiesKitchener Utilities has a proud

history as a community-ownednatural gas supplier for more

than 100 years.

When gas power came to the area in1879, it caught on like wildfire. DominionButton, located at King and Collegestreets, installed the first gas-lightingsystem in Kitchener, then known asBerlin. Three years later, the Berlin GasCompany built a coal-burning plant onGaukel Street to produce flammable gas.Town council installed 25 streetlights,several progressive factories convertedto gas, and a number of "well-to-do"householders signed up.

By the beginning of the 20th century,the Town of Berlin had purchasedthe company from the Breithaupts, aprominent family who also owned theelectric utility and transit company.

In 1903, the Town of Berlin took overthe Berlin Gas Company. Its customers –440 gas, 79 electricity, and 26 industrial– were now served by the BerlinLight Commission and its appointedcommissioners: Mayor J.R. Eden,H.J. Bowman, C.K. Hagedorn, C.K.Mills, S.J. Williams, and H.J. Bowman.

Within 10 years, gas customers had

increased to 2,000, electric consumersto 1,078, and power users to 102.

When a regional government wasformed in 1973, gas distribution wasno longer under the public utilitiescommission, but instead became adivision of the Corporation of the Cityof Kitchener – or Kitchener Utilities.

In the years prior to the Town of Berlinpurchasing the private Berlin GasCompany, it is notable how the ratescompare: at takeover, the old firm wascharging $1.50 net for lighting gas,$1.25 for fuel gas, and 15 cents perkilowatt for electricity. In 1912, underthe commission, the equivalent rateshad shrunk: $1 for any gas and sevencents for electricity (now hydro-electricpower from Niagara Falls).

With that kind of history behind theutility, would it still be around if it hadn’tbeen also been built on integrity,fairness and customer service?

Today, as one of only two municipallyowned and operated natural gasdistributors in Ontario, Kitchenertaxpayers are the owners of the utility.And, just like in 1903, when citycommissioners managed the company,Kitchener City Council regulates Kitchener

Utilities, unlike private companies, whomust have the Ontario Energy Boardendorse their utility rates.

“Our customers benefit from stablerates because of the way KitchenerUtilities is set up and managed,” saidWally Malcolm, director of utilities forthe City of Kitchener. “Our customersappreciate that stability when it comes tomanaging their household budgets.” �

What’s On

You’ve gota friendthe importance of supportduring bereavement

Dianne Bauer is no stranger to grief.She’s also no stranger to theimportance of compassion and

support as part of the grieving process.

As a funeral director and celebrant, Bauerencounters grief almost every day. And,once a month, she brings her experience,knowledge and empathy to WilliamsburgCemetery. Through a new communityoutreach program of Kitchener Cemeteries,Bauer facilitates a group of bereavementcompanions who meet from 1–3 p.m. on thefirst Sunday of the month in the DedicationCentre at Williamsburg Cemetery.

Each afternoon begins with a warmwelcome, followed by a short presentationon a topic of common interest. After thepresentation, the group takes a leisurelywalk along the serene paths in park-likeWilliamsburg, concluding the sessionwith coffee and time to connect withothers in the group.

“They share their experiences withcompassionate companions who are alsoworking to recreate themselves, cope withtheir new day-to-day reality, and find their‘new normal,’” said Bauer. “Participantshave shared that bereavement can be alonely and overwhelming journey. At first,family, friends and neighbours gatheraround to comfort and console. Everyoneis kind, but soon they return to living theirday-to-day lives.” She said everyone wantsto “fix” the person who is mourning.

“Participants tell me: I know that theymean well when they try to cheer meupand distract me from my grief, butthe loss of a special loved-one is life-changing and I can’t just ‘get over it,’and it is not possible for life to ‘getback to normal’,” Bauer explained.

Upcoming sessions: Oct. 6, Nov. 3, 2013.

Listen localWhat the Kitchener Blues

Festival is to blues music, theKitchener Ontario Independent

“The region has a deep pool of talentthat needs to be exposed to themasses,” said Cory Crossman, whostarted the festival in 2010 with hisbrother, Curt. “Our job with KOI is tocontinue to make Kitchener a musicdestination.”

And, the KOI music festival putsKitchener on the national music map.

“KOI is regarded as one of the premierindependent music festivals in theprovince,” said Jeff Young, manager ofspecial events for the city. “It showcasesthe city and offers exposure for localbands that have contributed to thisvibrant music scene.”

Young added that the festival generatesover half a million dollars in the localeconomy and is one of the early anchorsof Music Works, a City of Kitchenerinitiative to support, facilitate andaccelerate the local music businesscluster. It is now contributing to spin-offevents that also foster the local musicindustry, such as KOICon (conference).This event, which was held for the firsttime earlier this year, brought togethermusicians and those involved in theindustry. It also aims to integrate thetech and music communities throughjoint projects or shows.

The two-day event features more than150 bands performing live in a varietyof locations throughout the downtown.This year’s headliners include Classified,Treble Charger, Bayside and Cute IsWhat We Aim For.

“We’ve promoted shows as more thanjust a business; they’re an opportunityto engage a community and form ascene of artists and musicians,” saidCrossman. “KOI was the logical nextstep in both community building andpromoting music.” �
