A Better Tent City is a broad cross-section of people creating a self-organized community built on respect for each other and where we live. The first location of A Better Tent City was at Lot 42 on Ardelt Avenue until it was sold and the community temporarily moved to the City of Kitchener Snow Dump on Battler Road for the summer of 2021. The community now resides at 49 Ardelt Avenue on land owned by the City of Kitchener, and the Waterloo Regional School Board.
