Set just off the path in Waterloo Park, this large glacial boulder carries a bronze plaque honouring Prof. C.F. Thiele for his long-standing contribution to band music in the City of Waterloo. It’s an understated landmark—easy to walk past unless you pause—yet it reflects the park’s deeper connection to local history and community arts.
