Committee votes to move forward with development of Kitchener renoviction bylaw

After a long night of discussions, a Kitchener committee voted to move forward with plans to create a bylaw targeting renovictions.

Protestors gathered outside Kitchener City Hall for the Planning and Strategic Initiative Committee meeting on Monday night. The group called on the committee to commit to developing a renovictions bylaw, despite a recommendation from staff not to do so. They held signs with slogans such as ‘Bylaw or Bye-Bye!’ and ‘We aren’t moving. No renoviction.’
