Tri-cities are well known for their high concentration of information technology companies, including Google, BlackBerry and OpenText, and is frequently characterised as “Canada’s Silicone Valley”. The population here is younger than in most other Canadian provinces due to a large number of students and young families attracted by good employment opportunities and affordable cost of living. Each of the cities is famous in its own way. Kitchener has the oldest Farmer’s selling fresh local food like maple syrup, oils, meats and more since 1830. Cambridge hosts more than thousands of butterflies in Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. Waterloo has its famous university named after the city. In 2007 The Intelligent Communities Forum (ICF) has recognized Waterloo as being the world’s Top Intelligent Community.
