FARM TO TABLE , IN WATERLOO REGION, IT S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS BY SUSAN COOK-SCHEERER

In Waterloo Region, farm-to-table is more than just a fashionable trend: here, farm-to-table is about relationships. With its proximity to some of the best agricultural land in Ontario, farm-to-table Waterloo Region style means it’s possible for chefs to meet face to face with local producers, see where their products are grown or made, and savour those ingredients in dishes prepared in their restaurants all in the same day. It’s a

special type of relationship culture that’s happening here, and one that doesn’t happen in bigger centres where producers are farther removed from the restaurants they’re supplying. In Waterloo Region this close proximity between farmers and restaurants also means chefs often develop special relationships with their local food providers. It allows for a better understanding of how the food has been produced, and ultimately results in the creation of incredible food experiences for restaurant goers in the region. Here are a few examples of the unique farm-to-table relationships that are growing in Waterloo Region.

ExploreWaterlooRegion.com

The term ‘farm-to-table’ is frequently used to describe a growing movement by restaurants to use locally produced food in the dishes found on their menus.

local producers and consumers – teamed the two together at an annual Taste Local! Taste Fresh! event. Since then, the two businesses have supported each other in a number of ways, and have developed a relationship that also extends outside of business.

FAT SPARROW GROUP and MARTIN’S FAMILy FRUIT FARM

ExploreWaterlooRegion.com

“Martin’s Family Fruit Farm ticked a lot of boxes for us,” says Fat Sparrow owner and chef, Nick Benninger, about his 10-year relationship with Martin’s Family Fruit Farm. Buying local is an important part of Fat Sparrow’s food philosophy; however, quality is even more important. Martin’s provides both.

Benninger, together with his wife Natalie, own four restaurants in Waterloo, as well as five food establishments in St. Jacobs. Steve Martin is the retail manager at Martin’s Family Fruit Farm – a family run ‘labour of love’ for almost two centuries. While apples are their main product and are shipped Canada-wide, Martin’s also works with other local producers to provide additional fruits and vegetables in its retail store, and for customers like Fat Sparrow. Their relationship goes back 10 years, when Foodlink – a local organization that works to connect

“I’ve been to Martin’s with friends, I’ve been there for dinner with family: we’ve gone through the tour, so we have an understanding of how everything gets from A to B, and then I instill that information into my chefs so they know the Martin’s products better – that’s an intangible that goes all the way down the line. If I can get my chefs to know the product better, then they want our customers to know about it too, and become the ‘salesperson’ for it by being able to share the story of the product.” As for Martin, providing a top quality product is key. “We don’t have a philosophy that our neighbours have to buy from us just because we’re beside them. We still believe we have to earn the right to be that local supplier.” There are several benefits to the type of farm-to-table relationship these two have developed – flexibility being one of them. “I know that some weeks, Nick’s chefs will place an order with us, others they won’t – and that’s totally all right,” says Martin. Martin’s trucks are also out picking up product from other local producers, and at the same time will pick up items for Benninger. For example, Martin’s makes several trips a week to Floralane Produce – a Mennonite owned and

relationships like this, and you don’t get them off the back of a truck. It goes a lot deeper than just the cost and quality of goods; those are important things, but there’s a lot more to it. If you want passionate and creative people to keep doing hard things, they need to be rewarded in multiple ways, and this relationship is one of those ways that makes it worth it.” Learn more about the apple orchard and retail store – martinsapples.com Find a restaurant to savour – fatsparrowgroup.com

operated greenhouse growing operation just outside of Elmira, whose main commodity is tomatoes. Martin’s picks up tomatoes from Floralane several times a week, and he also picks up tomatoes for Benninger – saving him the trip and time. Knowing each other as well as they do also means they know each other’s business needs, and how they can support each other. “I know that Harmony Lunch (a Fat Sparrow restaurant in Waterloo) makes a cucumber relish once a month for the restaurant,” says Martin, “And I know that once a month they need 8 cases of cucumbers to make it, so I make sure I can get them for Nick.” Martin adds he can usually get produce to Fat Sparrow days sooner than a bigger company could, and he has more control over the quality of the products they’re receiving too. “When Nick gets our apples, he gets them handpicked, just like our staff would pick them for our retail customers in our store. We literally go through them individually, to pick out the best fruit.” Benninger appreciates the personalized service he gets from Martin’s. “The product we get is great: it’s very fresh, and I can have a menu that’s 80% produce that’s from the region and from Ontario, that I don’t have to charge extraordinary prices for. And what I am paying is going to support someone I know.” How important is this farm-to-table relationship to Benninger? “This is a tough business, so it’s nice when you can take a little bit more away from it. Being able to spend time together and know each other better – those are rewarding experiences. It’s nice to find

“It’s Quark,” says van Bergeijk. “Give it a try, and see what you think.” The two discuss the attributes of Quark, and the creative possibilities for the restaurant. It’s obvious they know each other well, and they should – their two businesses are less than 10 minutes from each other in Wilmot Township. Mountainoak Cheese is an award-winning cheese operation, owned by van Bergeijk and his wife, Hannie. They grow their own crops, raise their own herd of cows, and make their own cheese. Puddicombe House, located in New Hamburg, is owned by the Cressman family – a local family who transformed the historical home into a multifaceted business operation that includes a restaurant, accommodations, a salon and spa, and a banquet hall. “This is a farming community, and we’ve known the Cressman family for many of the 22 years we’ve been in Canada,” says van Bergeijk. “When they took on Puddicombe House, I wasn’t surprised to see them go into the restaurant business and succeed. In the meantime, we started making cheese on our farm, and worked at getting our license together so we could sell it, which took about four and a half years.” The Cressman family also has an agricultural background, and continues to operate a farm in Wilmot Township. As a matter of fact, the Cressman farm produces several items that are used on the menu at Puddicombe, including tomatoes, edible flowers, all their herbs and even hops, which has been used to create a Puddicombe craft beer. This history of being producers as well as restaurant owners gives them a firsthand understanding of how important

the farm-to-table relationship is. It’s not just about each business providing something for the other: in the case of Mountainoak and Puddicombe, this relationship has led to a special collaboration. “One day Nick (Cressman) came up with the idea of us developing a cheese for them using Puddicombe’s popular Blueberry Mustard spread,” says van Bergeijk, “And we did.” Blueberry Mustard is a creation of Edwards’, using his grandmother’s mustard recipe. Edwards added in the blueberries, creating a condiment that seemed to go well with everything at the restaurant. It was following a tour of Mountainoak that the idea of the collaboration was born.

“Nick said ‘Hey – Adam has this really great gouda, and we have this amazing mustard – what if we try to combine the two, and create a product that’s unique to us?’ ” says Edwards. A batch of blueberry mustard was sent to van Bergeijk, who worked with it to create the final product – ten wheels of Puddicombe Blueberry Mustard Gouda cheese. The two also work together in other ways. “We help each other,” says van Bergeijk. “When guests stay over at Puddicombe, and want something to do, Lance will suggest they come to Mountainoak to see our operation, and try some cheese. And, when customers are at Mountainoak and wonder about a place to grab a meal, I’ll suggest Puddicombe House.” Both Mountainoak and Puddicombe agree that quality is key to their respective successes. “We want a good product, so we can create really good meals,” says Edwards. “It’s important to know the farmer – I know what’s going on at Adam’s farm, and I know how the food is produced. I know that everything that comes from Mountainoak is going to be a top notch product. I can go and visit, and see what’s going on. And I know the person responsible for producing the food.” “I’m passionate about farming and cheesemaking, and I want to be honest about how we make our product,” says van Bergeijk. “People can come and talk to us about how our cheese it produced. We do a lot of tours, so we have to be transparent about how we’re farming, and how we’re producing our product.” There’s also a home town pride that comes into play, with both wanting to see the other succeed.

“It’s not just ‘keeping it local’ as in us getting things from down the highway – I’m getting that product 10 minutes away from here,” says Edwards. “I’m not going to Toronto to buy cheese. In fact, people from Toronto are coming here to buy cheese, and to stay here (at Puddicombe), and to eat at our restaurant. There’s a lot of New Hamburg pride in that. And when I go into a store, and see Adam’s cheese there, I smile and think, ‘Hey – I know Adam!’”

“We were connected by Feast On,” says John Moylan, the farmer behind 5 Chicks and a Farmer. Feast On is a certification program that recognizes businesses committed to sourcing Ontario grown and made food and drink. “We’re a Preferred Purveyor with Feast On, and Lancaster Smokehouse is a certified restaurant in the program. Feast On made the connection, and Tim was really open to talking to us.”

Van Bergeijk agrees, “When you support each other, it often comes right back to you. And for us, if we see this restaurant and these people that we know be successful, it’s fun for us as well.”

Tim Borys, co-owner of the Lancaster Smokehouse, takes pride in the fact the restaurant works with the highest-quality of producers, and that many of them are local.

LANCASTER SMOKEHOUSE and 5 CHICKS AND A FARMER At first, it appears to be a David and Goliath type relationship. Lancaster Smokehouse is a large, southern inspired restaurant that is part of the Lancaster Co. group of companies. 5 Chicks and a Farmer is a small farming operation near New Hamburg that, up until a couple of years ago, was just growing chickens and turkeys for family and friends. How is it that two such different businesses came to work together?

“We always joke that we’ve been pretty bad at promoting how much local we support!” laughs Borys, “However, on our most recent menu, we’ve listed all of our local suppliers, and it’s a pretty extensive list.” Lancaster did that because people were starting to ask more questions about where their food was coming from. “People want to be able to put faces and names to producers – especially when you’re using local suppliers – and they think it’s really cool when they see the list and can say ‘I know that guy’, or, ‘I get my meat there too.’” For Moylan, the opportunity that the local food and direct-to-customer model provided, versus starting a large, industrial type operation, led him into farming. “We really appreciate the ‘holistic’ nature of pasture-based farming. It’s holistic in that we’re helping the soil, we’re raising healthy animals, and putting out quality meat. We’re happy we can provide this to the community, and to businesses like Lancaster.”

The direct-to-customer sales model that Moylan follows allows him to get to know the chefs who are using his products, and results in a unique relationship.

“It’s cool for us to work with guys like Tim, and to be able to see the interesting dishes they’re making with our products, “says Moylan. “Farmers don’t

It’s 5 Chicks and a Farmer’s attention to producing a high-quality product that appealed to Borys. “When John and I first met about a year ago, I was more receptive to talking to him because he wasn’t coming in here saying he could give us bottom line prices. It was probably the first time I had a chicken provider come in talking about the quality of the product and the locality of it, instead of just the price. So, we’re ok paying a little bit of a premium to have a better product, support a local business, and be able to tell our customers that we’re getting our chickens direct from New Hamburg.”

usually get to see that final product – we’re just shipping our products. Here, we can come for supper and know we’re eating chicken that we personally dropped off earlier in the week. As farms have grown, farmers have become more removed from the final product. For us, delivering right to Lancaster Smokehouse reminds us that we’re producing food, not just commodities.” For Borys, he has learned that farm to table relationships like the one he has with Moylan provide other positive effects. “Quality is important, but most times, quality becomes a side effect of the relationship you have with the local farmer,” he says. “That relationship may have started because you wanted to support local. However, whenever we develop a relationship with a local supplier, we find the end result is that we end up with a product that is much better.”

And Moylan appreciates the compromise. “That’s a benefit of the direct relationship; they were willing to make that adjustment so they could support local, and use our product.” “These relationships are of huge importance to us,” says Borys. “It’s nice to know that this restaurant helps to feed John’s family too. We’re able to draw a direct line to somebody whose life we’re helping in a symbiotic relationship – they’re helping us by providing us with a better product, and we’re helping them and their quality of life by supporting them.” Check out the southern BBQ – lancsmokehouse.com Read more about 5 Chicks and a Farmer – 5chicksandafarmer.ca

Because there’s a face to face relationship, Borys is also willing to be flexible in order to work with Moylan. “We actually changed how we receive our product and our process so we could take John on as a supplier,” says Borys. “We used to get half chickens that were ready for smoking, but that’s not a product John supplies. Because we wanted to work with him, we changed our process; so now we receive his whole birds and split them ourselves, even though it’s a little more labour intensive.”

Cycling in the City EXPLORING WATERLOO ON TWO WHEELS BY SUSAN COOK-SCHEERER

It’s a city that entices visitors to come and explore – and it’s a place that is truly appreciated on two wheels, instead of four. Waterloo is a bicycle-friendly community, and continues to develop its infrastructure to encourage people – residents and visitors alike – to cycle to their destinations. Within the city, there are over 230 km of trails, bike lanes and signed bike routes cyclists can use as they #ExploreWR. Waterloo continues to implement new infrastructure and strategies to make the city even more cyclingfriendly. In 2018, new barrier-free bike lanes opened in UpTown Waterloo. As part of the project, a bicycle counter was also erected to keep track of how many cyclists travel daily along the stretch. Waterloo is also planning a 2019 pilot project with Drop Mobility – a bike share company – where GPS and internet enabled bikes will be located throughout the city to be unlocked and accessed by riders using the Drop Mobility app.

With more than 225 bike parking spaces in UpTown Waterloo, cycling is a great way to explore this vibrant city hub! Events like the Sun Life Financial UpTown Waterloo Jazz Festival and the Sun Life Financial Waterloo Busker Carnival are encouraging participants to leave their vehicles at home and cycle to the events by providing bicycle valet parking. And, if you notice your tires are a little flat while you’re out on your ride, there are a number of public facilities in Waterloo that will provide you with a bicycle pump to get you back on the road! In 2018, Waterloo was the first mid-sized city in Ontario to be recognized as a Gold Bicycle Friendly Community by the Share the Road Cycling Coalition.

The tour begins at Evolv1 (1) at 420 Wes Graham Way in the University of Waterloo’s David Johnston Research + Technology Park. Evolv1 is home to TextNow and Borealis AI and is a Platinum LEED certified building. The structure is full of some amazing innovative and environmentally friendly features including a living wall designed and built by local greentech startup Livescape, as well as solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations. After visiting Evolv1, head north on foot to grab a coffee at Matter of Taste (2) inside Factory Square at 451 Phillip Street. This 530,000 square foot office space was previously home to BlackBerry’s manufacturing facility. Today, local tech companies including Auvik Networks, eSentire and Arctic Wolf are headquartered here. Head out of Matter of Taste back towards Evolv1 and you'll find yourself at the Research + Technology Park Station of Waterloo Region ION's Light Rail Transit system (3). ION makes its debut in the Region in 2019, and from here riders can take the southbound train towards UpTown Waterloo. Take the ION three stops to the Willis Way Station (4) and you’ll find yourself in the heart of UpTown Waterloo. Walk north on Caroline Street to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (5) located at 31 Caroline Street North. Created in 1999 by RIM co-founder Mike Laziridis, the Institute is one of the

world’s premier centres for physics research. British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, a Distinguished Visiting Research Chair at the Perimeter Institute, was known to visit the Duke of Wellington Pub in the Shops at Waterloo Town Square. Head back south on Caroline Street to Erb Street and you’ll come to the former Seagram Distillery at 57 Erb Street West, now home to Shopify Plus (6). The world’s leader in e-commerce set up shop in the renovated space in 2016 and now employs over two hundred developers, designers and salespeople. Originally opened in 1857, the distillery was active until the early 1980s. It housed a museum and then the Centre for International Governance Innovation before becoming home to the Shopify team. From here, walk east on Erb Street towards King Street and make a left for a beautiful walk through the pubs, restaurants and stores of UpTown Waterloo. Continue walking south on King Street along the ION light rail transit route and you’ll pass the Bauer Building. This former headquarters of Bauer Hockey is now home to condos, restaurants and shops. It’s also where you’ll find great sandwiches. Vincenzo’s (7) at 150 Caroline Street features daily pop-up vendors – but is best known for their sandwich counter. After you’ve enjoyed your sandwich, head out of Vincenzo’s on Caroline Street, make a right on

John Street across Park Street and you’ll come upon the Iron Horse Trail (8). The trail is a 5½ kilometres (3.4 miles) section of the Trans Canada Trail connecting Waterloo Park in UpTown Waterloo to Victoria Park in Downtown Kitchener. The trail is a much frequented walking and cycling artery in Waterloo Region. Continue south on the trail towards Kitchener through Belmont Village and you’ll arrive at Glasgow Street and Kitchener’s newest reinvention – Catalyst137 (9). Catalyst137 is a 475,000 square foot campus and home to smart city tech leader Miovision and internet of things hardware developer Swift Labs. If the walk has you thirsty or hungry, you’re in luck as Catalyst137 is where you’ll find inspired food from Graffiti Market, locally made ice cream from Four All Ice Cream, freshly brewed java from Red Circle Coffee Co., and craft beers from one of our region’s newest brewers, Red Circle Brewing.

Vincenzo's is located in the Bauer Building

Head back out to Iron Horse Trail and continue on towards Kitchener. Make a left on Victoria Street and head east back to King Street where you’ll pass the Tannery building at 151 Charles Street. The building was the site of the Lang Tanning Company, founded in the mid-1880’s, and once the largest tannery in the British Empire. Over the years, the building housed everything from an indoor paintball course to performance rehearsal space. It’s now home to education tech leader D2L (10), the University of Waterloo’s Velocity startup space and Communitech. Communitech offers public tours on Thursday and they are a great way to see what attracts companies to the area. You can book tours at communitech.ca. Continue on Victoria Street past the Tannery building to the intersection of King and Victoria. Here you’ll see some of Waterloo Region’s most recognized landmarks. To the west is the beautiful glass facade and renovated brick and beam factory building that’s home to Google Waterloo (11), and the colourful illustrations of medicinal plants that adorn the University of Waterloo’s School of Pharmacy. To the east, you’ll see the Kaufman Lofts – former home to the Kaufman Rubber Company. It was a shoe manufacturing company built in stages between 1908 and 1925, then was renovated into the Kaufman Lofts in 2006. The Kaufman Lofts are the epicentre of the revitalization of the downtown Kitchener core – and now share the skyline with office buildings and condo towers. From here, your next stop is up to you. The ION Light Rail Transit’s Central Station lets you take a train north back to Waterloo or take a south-bound train to explore more of Kitchener. You’ll find our growing community to be an amazingly welcoming group of people who love to share what they make!

KultrÚn World Music Festival Each summer, Waterloo Region welcomes visitors from around the globe, as the Kultrún World Music Festival takes place in Kitchener’s Victoria Park.

Visitors can participate in various artist workshops, try the various culinary offerings, visit the craft and art markets, and enjoy storytelling, drum circles, and performance art like mural painting. The festival is a feast for the senses, as visitors have the opportunity to hear, see, and experience the culture and music that makes up Kultrún World Music Festival.

Kultrún is dubbed the Region’s largest annual outdoor dance party and features top talent from around the world, while celebrating cultural diversity. Local, national and international acts perform throughout the weekend, and with two stages set up in Victoria Park, the music is non-stop! Kultrún is a festival that is intended to entertain, but also inspire and create community. The name Kultrún comes from the Mapuche people of Chile, and is a type of ceremonial drum. And while the musical symbolism of a drum ties into the festival, the name Kultrún was chosen because of a deeper symbolic meaning, as it also represents the spirit of a heartbeat. It’s that spirit that Kultrún World Music Festival aspires to capture each year as the community comes together to celebrate.

The festival is produced by Neruda Arts – a local nonprofit organization that is dedicated to building bridges in communities through literary and visual arts, performance, dance, drama, and music.

Along with the music, there are plenty of interactive activities for people of all ages to take part in at Kultrún.

Kultrún World Music Festival is a family-friendly event, and is free to attend. A complete list of performers and information on the 2019 festival can be found on its website: www.kultrunwmf.com

Old Post Off ice

WHERE HISTORY MEETS THE FUTURE Old Post Off ice, 12 Water St. S., Cambridge, ON

A National Historic Site, the Old Post Office was constructed in 1885 and designed by Thomas Fuller – the architect who also designed the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. However by 2012, this once iconic two-and-a-half storey building had fallen into disrepair. It was then that the City of Cambridge and Idea Exchange came together to repurpose the building and bring it into the 21st century. “When the Old Post Office was in the drawing stages, many people were unaware as to what a digital library could be, or how it would apply to them,” says Cathy Kiedrowski, Director of Public Services and Manager at the Old Post Office. “Now that we are operational and the programming and equipment are in place, it’s much easier for people to see how we are promoting digital literacy and maker culture, and why that is so important.” The Old Post Office is now divided into 4 floors, each with its own unique focus. With a creative space, discovery centre, makerspace, as well as a reading space and café, the building offers access to tools and services such as 3D printing, laser-cutting, audio recording, and more. It’s also a meeting place – a community gathering space where all ages can discover and learn. “It has been exciting to see the space come to life,” says Kiedrowski. “Visitors are amazed at the spaces, and being able to share in their enjoyment is truly rewarding. And of course, the exterior views are breathtaking and continually changing with the seasons.” Adding to the beauty of the building’s historic façade are the hi-tech light shows that happen most Thursday to Saturday nights at the Old Post Office. Visitors can watch as visual effects transform the building’s exterior during a spectacular light show that is projected on the Water Street side of the digital library. All shows include audio and run every 30 minutes between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

From the outside, visitors will be awed by the beauty of this iconic 19th century building, with its majestic clock tower, textures, and beautiful stonework that harken back to a bygone era. Once inside this historic building, however, visitors will discover a space that is looking to the future. Inside, the Old Post Office has been completely transformed into the newest location of Idea Exchange (formerly Cambridge Library), and is Canada's first all-digital library, designed for all ages.

But while history and futuristic programming are drawing visitors to the Old Post Office, according to Cathy Kiedrowski there’s one more reason to discover this space in downtown Cambridge. “Our members of all ages have found that it's just plain fun," she says.

The saying goes you can’t always tell a book by its cover. That’s exactly the case at the Old Post Office, located along the banks of the Grand River in downtown Cambridge.

Waterloo Region is home to three diverse, growing cities that, despite close geographic proximity, have their own unique identities and histories. The original towns and villages that would become Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge began to sprout up in the early 1800’s. Over time, these 3 cities have transitioned from industrial centres to a collectively recognized global technology cluster, thanks to thousands of technology companies and startups that call these cities home.

KITCHENER The most populous city in Waterloo Region, Kitchener is a vibrant community that packs a punch when it comes to the number of things to see and do. Once an industrial centre, the city is now widely recognized as a technology hub as it's become home to globally-recognized innovation incubators and hundreds of start-ups.

Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest

A long history of German heritage endures in the city, stemming back to the 1800s when high levels of German speaking immigrants settled in the area. At one time, German was the dominant language spoken in town and, for a brief period, Kitchener was once named Berlin. Kitchener continues to celebrate its German heritage during the annual Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, and the Christkindl Market, a festival reminiscent of traditional German Christmas markets. Trendy restaurants and a burgeoning youthful population are making their mark in Downtown Kitchener (or "DTK" as the locals call it), which is experiencing an exciting rejuvenation as a walkable community with an unmistakably creative-urban vibe. Visitors can enjoy a growing variety of international restaurants and shops in the eclectic King East neighbourhood. Downtown Kitchener is also a go-to destination for visitors and locals alike throughout the summer months when King Street comes alive with festivals and events.

TOWNSHIPS

The four scenic townships of Waterloo Region – which are only a short drive from the urban centres of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo – are steeped in tradition, history and a true sense of rural charm. Home to the largest Old Order Mennonite population in Canada, these peaceful rural landscapes, dotted with distinctly Ontario towns and working farms, are a pastoral antidote for urbanites who need an escape from the daily grind.

Wellesley

Woolwich

North Dumfries

It’s easy to spend a leisurely day driving from township to township, wandering off the beaten path, stopping along the way at farm gate stands, quaint shops, and inviting local restaurants. Fresh seasonal produce is abundant in the townships, along with homemade sausage, apple butter (a local favourite), local cheeses, and humble baked goods that are reminiscent of the traditions of German and Scottish settlers from centuries ago. The townships are also a treasure trove of Mennonite furniture and quilts, as well as antiques, and other one-of-a-kind handcrafted goods. The gracious locals who call North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot, and Woolwich home greet visitors with a neighbourly warmth that makes them want to never leave, or, at the very least, come back again very soon.

TOWNSHIP OF NORTH DUMFRIES

EXPLORE

Located in the heart of southwestern Ontario, the township wraps around the City of Cambridge and has easy access to Highway 401. The Township of North Dumfries was settled in the late 18th century. William Dickson of Dumfries, Scotland, enlisted the help of Absalom Shade to find land where they could develop a new town. They chose an area at the junction of the Grand River and Mill Creek, and called it Dumfries after Dickson’s home town. In 1820, John Telfer was sent to Scotland by Dickson to enlist people to buy land and to come live in Canada, which resulted in a large Scottish population settling into the township. To learn more about the history of North Dumfries, take one of the heritage walking tours which include many of the township’s 20 designated historical landmarks.

Oakridge Acres

With the rolling hills of the countryside and its scenic waterways, North Dumfries is a go-to destination for recreation and relaxation. Whether cycling, walking, paddling or driving, enjoy the township’s beautiful natural landscapes. North Dumfries is home to rare Charitable Research Reserve – a 900-acre nature reserve that is home to an incredible array of flora and fauna, some of which have regional, Region of Waterloo provincial, national, and International Airport even global significance. The trail systems at GRT Sportsworld 8 rare can be accessed Transit Hub for free, and are open to the public much of the year. 401

The Township of Wellesley is a rural escape located within a 20-minute drive of the cities of Kitchener and Waterloo. Made up of the communities of Bamberg, Crosshill, Hawkesville, Heidelberg, Kingwood, Linwood, St. Clements, Wallenstein, and Wellesley, the township features many small businesses mixed together within a thriving farming community. Settled in the early 1800’s, Wellesley Township was once part of a large Clergy Reserve known as “The Queen’s Bush.” Mennonite descendants of families originally from Pennsylvania began arriving in the township around 1850, after being displaced by development in Kitchener, Waterloo, and the surrounding townships. Today, horse and buggies can still be seen travelling along back roads and highways throughout the township, as Wellesley remains home to a large Mennonite population.

Wellesley waterpark

A major annual event in the township is the Wellesley Apple Butter and Cheese Festival, which draws thousands of attendees on the last Saturday in September each year. A highlight of the event is the opportunity to sample a wide variety of delicious local foods, including the famous Wellesley brand apple butter. The township is also host to the Wellesley Fall Fair held in September, the annual Wellesley Home and Garden Show, and Linwood’s Snofest.

Visitors will also enjoy the unique businesses that can be found while driving along the scenic rural roads throughout the township, including roadside produce and floral stands, and farm gate businesses featuring homemade summer sausage, maple syrup, shoo-fly pies, quilts and Linwood handcrafted furniture.
