The fact that a building is not monumental, unusually old, or "beautiful" is not especially relevant to the question of whether it has heritage value in the context of Kitchener's urban core. We've lost a lot more than we've saved, so I hardly think the City is over-doing things on the heritage front.
By the way, this building, the Bullas Glass building and the old Rockway Restaurant (now AM Africa?) are the only three places in town with old Vitrolite cladding still in town. Are there others? Maybe these three are just more noticeable because of the yellow and/or green colourway.
any idea where one might source out manufacturers/installer of replacement "Vitrolite" cladding?
