Welcome to Waterloo Region!
To all of the athletes competing in the 2024 Canadian Ultimate Championships Masters, we’d like to welcome you to Waterloo Region – the crossroads of innovation and tradition.
Waterloo Region is located on the Haldimand Tract, on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabe and Neutral People. This region is made up of three vibrant cities — Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo — and four scenic townships – North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich. Each city and township boasts it’s own unique attributes which are brought together and woven into the tapestry of who we are in Waterloo Region.
