KITCHENER The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, more commonly known as The Aud, has stood the test of time for 70 years, and now the city wants to hear what the iconic building means to residents. The year 2021 marks the seven decades for the community staple and historic location of Waterloo Region. “It connects you to your past and your family,” said Ward 2 Coun. Dave Schnider. “Going to hockey games with my Dad was a great memory.” Schnider say the early memories of watching the Kitchener Rangers, to becoming their PA announcer, have all left a lasting impression. “I look up to where we used to sit and tap my heard and point and wink,” he said. “It’s a building that I think really enhances whatever is going on in it.”
