The Aud
The home of the Kitchener Rangers, an OHL (major junior hockey) team, "The Aud" often hosts other special events.
This is the venue where the K-W Symphony performs, and is also where Broadway touring companies perform. Located in the Civic Centre neighbourhood of downtown, beside the Kitchener Library. The hall was built to be large enough to perform Wagnerian opera, and seats approximately 2000 in a lovely setting with a very nice acoustic.
The gallery premiers and exhibits contemporary art of Canadian and international artists.
A small theatre providing inexpensive performances by small theatre groups. Located in the Civic Centre next to the police station and behind the library.
Waterloo County Gaol
The Waterloo County Gaol was built in 1852, and the Governor's House was added in 1878, the latter being built in a rather cute mid-Victorian Italian Villa style. The jail is literally in the backyard of the governor's residence. Today the house contains Waterloo Region Crime Prevention office and the old prison houses the Provincial Offences Offices. There is a small courtyard on the west side of the prison building that contains a small garden that the public can see by looking through a wrought-iron gate. A larger courtyard today contains a parking lot. The building interiors are probably not open to the public.
