TOUR DE LOO IS TONIGHT!
Grab your tickets and be part of the excitement!
Step inside Downtown Waterloo like never before! Tour De Loo is a ticketed fundraiser that celebrates the rich history and ongoing revitalization of our city's heart. In collaboration with the City of Waterloo's Historic Preservation Commission, this one-of-a-kind event invites you to explore properties that are undergoing historic renovations, just about to start, or have recently been beautifully restored.
​Uncover fascinating stories from the past, see the craftsmanship of historic architecture up close, and get a sneak peek at the exciting transformations shaping our downtown. It's an unforgettable blend of history, education, and fun. Perfect for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone who loves a great adventure in their own backyard.
Don't miss this chance to celebrate historic preservation, experience Downtown Waterloo in a whole new way, and support a meaningful cause. Grab your tickets and be part of the excitement!
Main Street Waterloo is a non-profit, volunteer driven organization who works to maintain and enhance our downtown city center through historic renovations, economic development, and community engagement. We are not able to host events and do many of our projects without amazing volunteers. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization and we are forever grateful for the time and effort you commit to making the events happen and our downtown even better!

At first it just seemed like a bad flu.
The illness struck Danielle Stanisic while she was in New York for a research gig, her first time living away from home in Australia. It was her lab mates, though, who grew alarmed and insisted she get tested. It turned out Stanisic, who had traveled to Papua New Guinea six months earlier, had malaria.
