Occupations and employment positions were much different 100 years ago. Due to advances in technology and industrialization, many of these occupations no longer exist. This webmap aims to remember the working residents of Kitchener, highlighting the more unique positions that were once held.
This webmap was used with data created and compiled by the University of Waterloo's Geospatial Centre Historical City Directory Initiative.
