This week on Civic Briefs: Waterloo Edition, we’re covering Waterloo City Council’s April 14 meeting—where the climate file took centre stage. Host Casey Page unpacks the decisions, debates, and delegate voices that shaped your city this week—from electrifying ice rinks and retrofitting fire tools, to hugging LED-lit trees and handing out seed packets.

Plus: a demolition permit at 665 Erbsville Road, new levies for Uptown and Beechwood neighbourhoods, and a salty new motion on road safety and freshwater.
