Wellington X

A group opposed to the Wellington Street extension in Kingston is urging people to attend public meetings this week on a proposed development on the former Davis Tannery site.

WellingtonX says the plans for 1,500 housing units on the inner harbour would require the Wellington Street extension to be built.

A public open house about the proposal by developer Jay Patry is being held on Wednesday from 2:30-5 and 6-8:30, at the Legion on Montreal Street.

Protest – Braebury

A protest over fees charged by a property management company will take place today in Kingston today.  The Limestone Solidarity Network has planned a rally outside Braebury’s office at King and Princess Streets. The group says the company is charging tenants illegal and unethical move out fees for things like carpet cleaning.

Beyond Classrooms

Students in Andrea Fraser’s Grade 3-4 class at Mother Teresa Catholic School will be spending this week at the Kingston School of Art.

They’ll be rolling up their sleeves and picking up their paintbrushes for the week with Beyond Classrooms Kingston.

The week’s learning will culminate in a student-organized art show on Friday.

Grade 12 – SparQ Studio

A group of Grade 12 students from Gananoque Secondary School are attending a workshop at Queen’s University to explore their creative side.

They’re spending time at the SparQ Studios…a place where students can design and create things.

The students will work in teams to design and print a useable 3D stand for a cell phone and showing off the projects this morning in Carruthers Hall.

Ice Conditions

You wouldn’t think you’d need a warning – but the Loyalist Township Fire Department is asking people to stay off the ice because conditions are extremely dangerous.  Warm weather has also made ice unstable.

The fire department posted a message on Twitter on the weekend saying weak ice and high winds are causing a lot of shifting ice.

A man went through the ice on an ATV south of Napanee on Saturday.
