For those who cant get into The Tragically Hip’s last show at The Rogers K-Rock Centre on August 20, there is good news: There will be a live stream of the CBC feed on screens in Springer Market Square.

Via The Whig Standard:

“City councillors unanimously approved spending up to $150,000 on the event after discussing concerns about security and concentrating the festivities in just one area of town.

“This is an opportunity for everyone who couldn’t get a ticket to come out and show their support.”

Mayor Patterson also has plans to mark the occasion and the day…

“This band means a lot to us. Means a lot to Kingston,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson in presenting the motion to mark “The Tragically Hip Day.”
