Waterloo


Located in the heart of Southwest Ontario, Waterloo Region provides the perfect balance between new and old, rural and urban, nature and technology, classical and contemporary, tranquility and adventure.


Waterloo is home to two of the highest-ranked universities in the country and attracts some of the best and brightest talent from around the world. Think tanks like the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics, Centre for International Governance Innovation and the Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum Nano Centre are helping to translate great ideas into some of the most successful and innovative businesses in the country. Uptown Waterloo is a thriving urban centre with award-winning architecture, unique shops and fantastic restaurants.

With two universities and a college, Waterloo is a city for students. Between shops, restaurants, parks, and activities, there’s so much to do and see outside of your studies at the University of Waterloo.

With more than 50,000 university and college students and one of the youngest populations in Canada, Waterloo region has many restaurants, shops, and services geared to students!

The cities of Waterloo and Kitchener blend into each other and are really one big city. People distinguish between the two by calling one "uptown" (Waterloo) and the other "downtown" (Kitchener).

There are more than 400 restaurants, shops, and boutiques, and Uptown is home to several festivals and events each year. There's always something to do!

One extremely popular event that attracts people from all over is Oktoberfest, Canada's greatest Bavarian festival. This event includes a Thanksgiving Day parade and over 40 cultural events. Enjoy food and beverages, and dance the night away!
