Locations
Few Canadian cities have evolved as dynamically as Kitchener, transforming from an industrial centre into a thriving tech hub. This evolution has created a striking variety of filming locations, from urban streetscapes to natural and agricultural landscapes. Kitchener offers a big‑city look with a small‑town feel, just one hour from Toronto and minutes from rural Mennonite country.
