ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Not sure if the glockenspiel and bells were linked or independent (some clock towers play a melody before chiming the time or vice versa), but there was both.

I'm just impressed that it was quiet enough for me to _hear_ the bells!  The 507 Saturday Testing video I got on this corner back in May was much louder, I had actually turned the audio from my phone down in that video to make it less annoying, whereas this time I used the audio as-is.

Off topic, but Kitchener was once known for its church bells, many, many years ago.  I think only one or two of the Downtown churches still ring them regularly (St Peters and St Marys, I think).
