Waterloo Region offering public tours of new shelter on Tuesday

Waterloo Region will be offering tours to the public on Tuesday of the new shelter which is slated to open for use later this month.

“We know there has been a lot of public interest in the project, so we wanted to provide people with a chance to see the site before people move in,” a spokesperson for the region told Global News in an email.

The tours of the shelter, which is located on the border of the City of Waterloo and Wilmot Towhship, will last around 30 minutes.
