What we do

We are the workers that take care of and monitor your clean drinking water, garbage collection, keep your roads safe for travel, move travellers to and from Waterloo Region Airport.  These are just a few of the many things that we strive for excellence to achieve on a daily basis.

We are proud to work for you.
We care for your children. We keep your water clean. We keep restaurants safe for you.
We help our neighbours find jobs, obtain housing and get financial support when they’re in need.
We proudly deliver the public services all of us in the Region depend on every day.
We work for you, Region of Waterloo.
