Everything’s Going Swimmingly

Last Fall, I wrote about the City’s plans to completely overhaul the ageing aquatic facility that’s located beside the Memorial Centre.  Presently, the entire grounds around the M-Centre are getting a much needed face lift, while the work will eventually focus on breathing new life into the Leo Lafleur Waterpark.  While we were given a [...]

In my humble opinion, it’s never to late for New Year’s resolutions.  Besides, I’ve always thought spring feels like more of a rebirth than any other time of year. And what better way to revive your body and mind after a long cold winter than with a refreshing and invigorating yoga practice at one of [...]

Front’s Grin and Bear it

December is all about giving, and there’s certainly is no shortage of ways to help ensure that those less fortunate have the basic essentials, and a little something special this holiday season. Kingstonians can show their generosity by donating non-perishables to the local food bank, buy a snowsuit for a child in need, throw [...]

Gaels Victorious!

Last Saturday, I tuned in to watch the Vanier Cup match between Queen’s and the Calgary Dinos.  Speaking as a member of the television audience, I had a hard time settling into the game thanks to embarrassing technical problems on the part of TSN.  On three separate occasions the live broadcast from Quebec City was [...]

Sorry for the slow news week, but I’ve been somewhat incapacitated and locked in quarantine under suspicion of the dreaded H1.  Rest assured I am quickly on the mend, and chomping at the bit to get back on the saddle.  This weekend is as busy as any other in the Limestone City, with a full [...]

I think that my body is still out of whack from having Monday off  for Thanksgiving last week.  The fact that it is dark when I get up, and even more ominous when I return home may also be impacting my energy levels.  In that regard, don’t forget to mark your calendars for November 1st, [...]

Leo Lafleur Waterpark Plan

Not that I’m complaining, but there were very few days where we were forced to endure sweltering conditions, and poor air quality this past summer.  As someone who stubbornly refuses to buy an air conditioner, I’m constantly gambling my comfort in the name of energy and financial savings.  For the most part, I’m able to [...]
