Waterloo Pioneer Memorial Tower, Kitchener

Facts and practical information

The Waterloo Pioneer Memorial Tower was built in 1926 in Kitchener to commemorate the arrival of the Pennsylvania Dutch to Southwestern Ontario. It was conceived by William Henry Breithaupt, who wanted to heal wounds of nationalism fomented in the city during World War I which led to increasing anti-German sentiment and an eventual change in the name of the city from Berlin to Kitchener.
