Kitchener is a city in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The current population is approximately 200,000. The metropolitan area, which includes the neighbouring cities of Waterloo and Cambridge, has about 450,000 people. Mennonite families arrived in the early 1800s. One of the families was the Schneiders, whose restored 1816 home (the oldest building in the city) is now a museum located in the heart of Kitchener. Kitchener was name "Berlin" until 1916, when it changed its name to Kitchener; named after Boer War hero Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener. Kitchener's oldest and most important outdoor park is Victoria Park, in the heart of downtown Kitchener. Numerous events and festivities are held in this park. Kitchener has an extensive trail system. The trails are hundreds of kilometres in length. Due to Kitchener's close proximity to the Grand River, several community trails and paths border the river's shores. Transportation
