The Aud's 75th Anniversary

Over the past 75 years, it has become a cornerstone of life in Kitchener, hosting memorable moments in sport, entertainment, and community events.

Throughout the anniversary year, residents can look forward to a range of special initiatives, including themed nights and unique experiences.
