Waterloo car insurance information

Waterloo, with the motto "Stability", has an approximate population base of 86,543 with an additional 20,000 temporary residents attending classes at the two universities in the city. The city is adjacent to the city of Kitchener and the two are sometimes referred to jointly as Kitchener-Waterloo or K-W. Several attempts to amalgamate the two have ultimately failed. Recently, the city was voted at number 7 in the Top Seven Intelligent Communities. This distinction means that Waterloo is among the leaders of the world creating vibrant local economies where the inhabitants are prospering in today's digital economy.

Native groups were among the first to hold rights to the land of the area and in the late 1700s, they began to sell of parcels of the land to Richard Beasley. Around 1800, Beasley then sold the land to Mennonites from Pennsylvania, who were among the earliest settlers to the area. By the 1840s, German immigrants outnumbered the Mennonites.

Waterloo's economy is comprised of employers in the fields of health insurance, high tech sectors and the two universities. The largest employers found in the area include: Wilfrid Laurier University, Research In Motion (notable product being the BlackBerry), Manulife Financial, the University of Waterloo and Sun Life Financial/Clerica.

Waterloo, along with Kitchener and Cambridge make up Canada's Technology Triangle (CTT) which is a joint economic development project which markets the area to the world.
