Waterloo and Kitchener are the twin cities of Ontario. Even though they have grown to connect into one urban agglomeration, they are still separate cities. The logo of the city is actually the tower of the old town hall that now stands in Waterloo Park. The new City Hall, like Market Square, is completely modern and clad in steel and glass.
Waterloo is part of an area founded by German Mennonites. A lot of residents dressed up for Halloween but seem to have forgotten about the Protestant Reformation on October 31, 1517, without which the Mennonites wouldn’t even exist.
Other areas of German heritage include the largest Oktoberfest festivities outside of Germany. Kitchener was so German that it was called Berlin before the start of the Great War. Other cultural locations include the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery and a local museum.
