Civic Hub Waterloo Region

The Civic Hub remains your civic hug downtown Kitchener at the core of the community. We have been active virtually too during the pandemic (see the Hub On Line page), and we continue to share the good work of grassroots organizations and mutual aid groups through podcasts which are 40 and counting!

We are inviting new partners to our shared space every month and taking bookings almost daily. Leave us a message at +1‑519‑579‑3800 ext. 3 or send an e-mail to info@civichubwr.org if you wish to join the Civic Hub community or use one of the spaces at the Hub. 

Rooms can be booked on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays!
The Calendar displays dates and times when rooms are available for you to book meetings, workshops, networking or events.  Grassroots, non-profits, non-partisan and inclusive groups can book a classroom, a meeting space, and a hall for their events and activities.

Please note that we require at least one week’s notice for any bookings. Unfortunately, last-minute bookings cannot be accommodated. Submitting the booking form does not guarantee a reservation — please wait for a confirmation (or follow-up) from the Civic Hub team before making any plans.

Civic Hub is bringing together grassroots groups and small nonprofits active in a range of fields: social and environmental justice, democratic reform, arts and culture, anti-poverty, anti-racism, human rights, ethnocultural and newcomer support, food security, peace and nonviolence, spirituality and wellbeing. Become a Civic Hub Partner by filling in the form online to join the 50 groups already collaborating in this common space.

Shared Platform is another unique offer to the Civic Hub partner groups. It includes donation management, budgeting support in grant writing, fiscal sponsorships and financial reporting for grants we collaborate on!

Please know, Civic Hub space is free. It is also scent free (except for smudging and incense burning rituals) and a vegetarian environment when we all meet together. We do not require you to serve vegetarian or vegan food for your own group’s activities and events.

We adhere to anti-oppression, anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, and non-violence principles. The space is wheelchair accessible, and we are committed to making it more accessible for visible and invisible disabilities while adhering to disability justice principles. Also, we actively discourage homophobia, transphobia, misogyny and gender rigidity, and we have a gender neutral washroom on site. All forms of hatred and ham towards diverse groups of people are contrary to our values.
