We usually celebrate birthdays. It's what we do.
In several weeks, on March 6, Toronto will celebrate it's 182nd birthday. Some citizens have plans to celebrate -- even a day early.
Two years ago, when Toronto turned 180, there were lots of celebrations.
Birthdays are a big deal.
On September 1, 2016, Kitchener becomes 100 years old.
I've done a search online and, unless I missed something, I couldn't find any plans by the City to celebrate its 100 birthday. Perhaps the City will eventually come up with something to celebrate its centennial.
But until that happens -- or in nothing happens -- I will have to assume there is some (collective?) guilt over the name change in 1916.
