The City of Kingston is launching a new project that will shut down Ontario Street in front of city hall for two weekends this summer.
The initiative is called “Ontario Street: A vibrant spaces project” and is meant to transform the portion of Ontario Street in front of city hall into a pedestrian-friendly public space.
The idea is to promote the city’s waterfront and Confederation Park and to provide a space for community engagement for two weekends in the summer.
