What's Next for Westmount

Since launching her book Westmount: The Tie that Binds the Twin Cities back in November, the Library’s Head of Special Collections, Susan Mavor, has received a flurry of invitations from community groups interested in learning more about the Westmount neighbourhood and its history. Mavor has three speaking engagements during the months of March and April.

Mavor will be on Waterloo’s main campus to present as part of Renison's Peer Learning At Renison (PEAR) program in April. PEAR is an adult learning program open to all members of the Kitchener-Waterloo community "who are looking for an active and engaging learning experience."
