Kingscourt Library Sale

Kingston City Council is set to make a decision that will seal the fate of the location for Kingston’s new high school.

City council is being asked to approve the sale of the Kingscourt Branch of the library to the Limestone District School Board.

The school board says the property will allow it to design space for a new elementary school and a new high school on the land that now holds QECVI.

City Council will also be asked to approve construction of a new 3.3 million dollar library at the community centre that will be built in Rideau Heights.

Online Shopping

Online grocery shopping becomes a reality today in Kingston.

Loblaws has introduced the service at its Midland Avenue Store.

People will be able to shop online and pick up their groceries at the store.

The fee is $3 to $5 – depending on the time of day.

Personal shoppers fill your order and you get to pick it up at a drive through window area.

Loblaws says it plans to expand the “Click and Collect” service to its Kingston Centre store next month.

Sailing Championship

Kingston continues to live up to its reputation of being the freshwater sailing capital of the world.

260 sailors from 26 countries are in Kingston for the 2015 Laser Masters’ World Championships. The last time it was held in Kingston was 35 years ago.

Sailors were welcomed to Kingston during a Saturday night ceremony at the Kingston Yacht Club.

Racing is headquartered at the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and continues today.

Buskers Rendezvous

Rain didn’t interrupt the street performers once during the four day Kingston Buskers Rendezvous and organizers say that helped make it an overwhelming success.

Six big circle acts performed during the Grand Finale in Confederation Park last night.

It came complete with some new tricks the performers didn’t use during their shows in Kingston and a $2,000 drone that Whacky Chad was using to video tape the performances was accidentally shot down by Maya – playing agent butterfly in the Secret Circus Show.

The drone wasn’t damaged and the Secret Circus Show came out on top as the winner of the People’s Choice Award.
