Bio / Organization Description
The City of Kingston: where history and innovation thrive. Equi-distant from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Syracuse, where the St. Lawrence River meets Lake Ontario and the Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage site) – our stunning, historic city is primed to be taken in innovative directions.
Kingston is thriving. We have three new City facilities built to meet LEED standards, a burgeoning alternative energy sector and a post-secondary community spawning cutting-edge hometown businesses. Our more than 117,000 community-minded citizens enjoy an outstanding quality of life enhanced by superb intellectual, recreational and creative opportunities and supported by excellent health care facilities and an improving civic infrastructure. A partner to the Sustainable Kingston Plan, the City also boasts a committed staff engaged in embracing sustainable practices and encouraging their adoption by the entire community.
