But that's not likely with the current regime. If we get a new provincial government one day who is keen on "eliminating duplication of services" by merging municipalities, maybe it would happen. Otherwise, it will be up to Waterloo to come to it, and it will be a long wait.
Many of the very expensive services are already provided at the Regional level. More can be added and in time Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge will be like Bridgeport, Centreville and Doon. A name that placates the parochially minded.
