Berry Vrbanovic’s caring and approachable style has served the people of Kitchener, since being elected to City Council, representing what is the current Chicopee-Grand River Ward in 1994. Prior to that, Berry served in a variety of staff roles at the City of Kitchener, beginning part-time in 1986 in the City Clerk’s Department and moving to full-time within the City in 1989, working in the City’s Computer Systems area until his election in 1994.
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Berry’s family immigrated here in 1969. As a result, he understands the challenges resulting from being Canada’s third largest intake centre for new Canadians and the issues faced by these thousands of new Canadians making Kitchener their new home.
Raised in Kitchener, Berry attended Smithson and St. Daniel’s elementary schools, St. Jerome’s High School and Wilfrid Laurier University where he completed a BA in Political Science and a Diploma in Business Administration.
Residing on Shuh Avenue in the Stanley Park part of the ward, Berry has owned his own promotional marketing business in the past, and presently runs a small consulting business. He is a member of the Canadian-Croatian Community and has been actively involved in the community over the years.
Berry’s team is pleased to extend an invitation to a casual drop-in event to help raise funds and increase supporters for Berry as he brings focus to Strong Neighbourhoods and a Growing Economy for a Better Kitchener.
Please join them on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 for the drop-in from 5pm-8pm.
Berry will be making brief comments at 6pm.
It will be an evening filled with mingling and entertainment, with a chance to talk to Berry about his ideas for the city.
