[edit] History
At first, Kitchener was called Berlin, but when World War I started it didn't seem right to name the city after the German Capital. The city was renamed Kitchener, after a British general. Kitchener then slowly became a prosperous city as it is today.
[edit] Future
There might be an NHL team moved to Kitchener. Also there might be a Light Rapid Transit system in Kitchener.
