UNITED IS THE WAY
Waterloo Region is a thriving tech hub, a place where innovation meets community, and where families choose to build their futures. As of July 1, 2024, the regions’ estimated population was 706,875. This growth reflects the region’s status as one of Canada’s fastest-growing communities, with a 6.15% growth rate, more than double the national average. Projections indicate that the population may approach one million by 2050.
With a growing population and strong industries, our region is full of opportunity. As many of us thrive, others struggle. This is where collective giving comes in; a little bit from a lot of people could make a huge impact.
If every resident gave a $5 gift to help fill the cracks in our social system, we could raise:
$3,500,000
