KITCHENER Kitchener residents are raising concerns about crowds at local parks despite an ongoing stay-at-home order. Hundreds of people were out at Kitchener s Victoria Park on Thursday evening as the weather warms. With the weather improving everyone wants to get outside, and getting outside is encouraged, but when you congregate without masks and not follow the measures that the problems occur, Waterloo Region s Chief Administrative Officer Bruce Lauckner said. Kitchener bylaw officials said they ve heard multiple complaints about park gatherings, especially in larger outdoor spaces. Generally our focus has been education over enforcement, said Gloria MacNeil, director of bylaw enforcement in Kitchener.
