Built in Kitchener for people who need local context they can trace.

01 / The need

Public information should not require a scavenger hunt.

Important local information is distributed across many official websites, feeds, notices and public records. Each source matters, but the overall picture can be difficult to assemble quickly.

KW Live organizes relevant signals by location and time, making it easier to understand what is connected, what needs attention and where to continue at the official source.

02 / Platform

Context for the decisions in front of you.

A focused operating picture for professionals working across fast-moving local information.

01

Live regional picture

Bring current public-safety, road, transit and community signals into a geographic view without losing the distinction between sources or cadences.

02

Municipal and civic intelligence

Connect permits, planning activity, civic meetings, infrastructure and community information to the places they affect.

03

Source-aware professional workflows

Keep attribution, source state and official links close to the work so users can validate information and follow the record.

03 / How it works

From distributed signals to useful local context.

KW Live is designed to make public information easier to navigate while preserving where it came from.

Private beta

Building with the people who work closest to local information.

KW Live is being tested and refined with professional users. We are validating where a shared geographic picture can support newsroom, civic, operational and community-information workflows.

We welcome appropriate inquiries from potential users, advisors, partners and technical collaborators.

Trust by design

The map is a guide—not the source of record.

KW Live is not an emergency service and does not replace official information. Official publishers remain the sources of record. In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service.
