It’s awesome. Beautiful, historical and full of spirit. And you folks did an amazing job designing the amenities with the visitors and residents in mind. 👍 settings
Respectfully acknowledging that downtown Kingston resides on land which is the traditional territory of the Huron Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, we work towards deeper understanding by engaging in relationship and teaching.
