Just before I climbed into bed last night, I marvelled at the flurries that were sticking to almost everything outside. It made for a majestic scene in our backyard, as the tree branches and shrubbery looked as though someone had painted them with fluffy flakes of snow. This morning I woke up to [...]

TGIF! It gives me absolutely no pleasure to remind you that this is the last weekend of August, which marks not only the return of students to classrooms, but also falling leaves and cooler temperatures. Last week, we endured consecutive days of stifling heat, while this week we had to reach for our [...]

Inside: A Swamp Ward Window Project

When non-Kingstonians are asked to describe our city, nine times out of ten, they’ll probably throw in words such as prison, inmate, or shiv.  With eight federal correctional facilities located in and around Kingston, our city is home to the largest concentration of prisons in all of Canada.  The long storied past of these big [...]
