  	KITCHENER \emdash Heritage advocates are trying to save a turn-of-the century cottage slated for demolition as part of a new condo project proposed in downtown Kitchener. The home, at 107 Young St. in Kitchener, is being reviewed by the city's heritage committee Tuesday afternoon as part of a planned redevelopment that would build a six-storey, 42-unit building at the corner of Weber and Young streets. That project would demolish all buildings at the site, including 50-52 Weber St. W and 56 Weber St. W. But it's the plans to knock down 107 Young St. that has some people most alarmed. "I can't stomach the idea that they'd demolish that place," said Jean Haalboom, the former regional councillor. "It's a perfect little house. It's beautiful." Mercer, G. (2018).
