Indoor climbing gym Grand River Rocks’ newest location will be somewhat short-lived, after Kitchener councillors approved the redevelopment of a Victoria Street North property.
The project will replace two existing buildings — including the former LA Fitness location where Grand River Rocks and sister business Go Bananas plan to open in June — with three towers at 236 and 264 Victoria St. N.
Says that GRR has 3,500 to 4,000 members, which seems like a lot to me, for a place the size of KW. And I do think this is important:
Quote:“I feel Grand River Rocks is one of those organizations that’s going to be bouncing around, if we can’t find a permanent home for them.
“I can’t stress the importance of that type of community and what it brings to the city. It’s something that’s very difficult to replicate.”
We need housing, but we also need community.
