Say hello!
Downtown Kingston is beautifully situated at the confluence of the majestic St. Lawrence River, Cataraqui River, and Lake Ontario, a stone's throw away from the US border. With three distinguished academic institutions and a proud connection to the Canadian Military, Kingston is a city that thrives on diversity and fosters a sense of possibility and opportunity.
