The Region of Waterloo has been acquiring properties to turn into a shovel-ready site, working with the provincial government on the plan. “I had to give my speech twice because we had to go outside the community centre and have a separate meeting outside,” Stiles said on Thursday, making reference to the April visit.“It means it means the world actually,” said Eva Wagler, a local farmer who Stiles also visited in 2024.
