I knew the Perimeter Institute was big, but enough to bump Kitchener to the second highest concentration of scientists in municipalities of its size in Canada?

(And yes I'm kidding that the PI is all that there is in Waterloo :) )

Perhaps it should be noted that "of its size" is significant. Kitchener-Waterloo has a scientist/engineer ratio of 4.9%, which is substantially above the national average of 4.6% -- but all the major cities are higher, like Toronto at 6.2%.

None of this changes the fact that PI is teh roxxor.
