Google moves offices from Waterloo to Kitchener’s Tannery
Big news for downtown Kitchener: Google is moving it’s offices from Waterloo’s Tech Town (in the U of Waterloo research and technology park) to the Tannery District in downtown Kitchener.

Ontario Rent Increase Guideline for 2011 is pretty low
0.7% to be exact, the lowest it’s been since the government of Canada implemented guidelines around the amount that real estate investors could increase the rents in their investment property each year.
From The Record:
The guideline is the maximum amount a landlord can increase the rent of most sitting tenants without seeking approval of the Landlord and Tenant Board.
The 2011 guideline applies to rent increases that occur between January 1 and December 31, 2011.
The calculation is based on the Ontario Consumer Price Index.
