Sunday
Apparently there is something going on called SQUARE TO SQUARE on Sunday where King St will be blocked off from Waterloo Square to Kitchener City Hall, I think anyways, I can't find any info on either of the City sites about it, so if you know then please add a comment.
Now this part I do know about http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=215593141807185  (which makes it extra weird because a Flash Mob is supposed to be planned in private & come out of nowhere) & there is costs so check the link. Again if anyone has any info please add it to the comments.
