I think they’re here through the weekend?

I was told by someone at Tourism Kingston that they are expecting more than 70K visitors to descend on the city for this, which is insane!

Enclosure of Culligan Water Park to provide year-round aquatic services, expanding from 3 months to 12 months per year. It is anticipated that this initiative would add 0.75 aquatic service capacity and could be implemented in the short to medium term based on cost and financing. This initiative supports additional community use...

This is not far from where it crosses Little Cataraqui Creek, so they are probably trying to dam the creek. I should probably contact someone with the city? Anyone know who to call?

If you drive west from Collins Bay Rd, you should now see a “ghost” bicycle painted white on the south side of the road marking where the fatal collision occurred. Personally, I have lived in cities in which a cyclist fatality would barely garner attention by the local media, but as tragic as this is, I am glad the community...

I’d forgotten how much I missed going to concerts during the pandemic. They put on a good show!

It’s down at the Memorial Centre. This was from yesterday, but if I’m not mistaken, it’s free admission today until it closes up at 6?

This was at Our Lady of Fatima up the hill from Division. The food was awesome!

It’s across from the library downtown. They’ve closed the whole block for it. I overheard there are dancers coming from Montreal at 7 pm!

Came across a facebook page showing the new electric ferry in service, but can’t find any other news confirming this. Is this for real?

This could be an interesting move. If you’re wondering what it might look like, this video from the City of Guelph is super helpful: Automated Waste Collection

Alright, here’s an odd question. I’m hosting family for my son’s birthday, and he’s asked for hotdogs for lunch. We’ve got some foodies in the family, so I don’t want to skimp and just go with your typical Maple Leaf dogs....

Saw this bird on the way to work today. It was perched on a log sticking out of the pond at Lions Civic Gardens. That’s that little park south of the mall where the library is. The Merlin app ID’d it as a double-breasted cormorant. Possibly a juvenile given its coloration, though it was a good size!

I believe this is the first midrise proposed under the new Central Kingston Growth Plan. The building would be located at the corner of Johnson and Aberdeen, replacing three buildings (six total units) with a six-storey, 45-unit build. No commercial space is proposed (I don’t believe the new bylaw requires it in this...

Saw this guy on my way to work this morning.

Over by the 401 John Counter exit across from the City Place Office buildings....

Is anyone else totally psyched to see two Lemmy apps finally out of TestFlight and available in the IOS app store??!! I downloaded Mlem and Memmy, and honestly feel like with these apps available there’s no reason not to switch to Lemmy. How do we spread the good word to Reddit users and bring some more folks over to the new...

It’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife in case it’s not obvious. There is supposed to be some sort of pre-show put on by the Haunted Walk people.

Anyone know where I might buy Taramosalata in the area? I tried Cooks and Quatroccis and Metro and Loblaws etc. but no joy. Krinos make one in a jar but I can’t find it anywhere. Are there any Greek delis in the area that I don’t know about? TIA

Which of these have you seen?...

We actually made that drive once and it took > 4 hrs iirc. But we did in December when every little town had its Christmas lights up and it was much more enjoyable than the 401.

Buskers’ Festival! Cirque du Soleil! And more!
