Caring For The Kids Of Jamaica

January 20, 2010 · Comments Are Closed

For years, Dave Sly has been doing what he can to help the people of Jamaica. Rather than wait for giant disasters like the earthquake in Haiti, he focuses on the every day problems that Jamaicans face and tries to help solve them. His most recent project is trying to raise $13,000 to buy a new vehicle for the Jacob’s Well Basic School.

2010 Ontario Men’s Curling Championship

January 20, 2010 · Comments Are Closed

Although the Curling Championship actually takes place in Napanee Ontario, I felt that it would be a good idea to let the people of Kingston know about it. It is a pretty big event and I am sure that a lot of people would be willing to make the short drive to see some top notch curling! The Championship takes place between February 1 – 7, 2010 and will be held at the Strathacona Paper Centre in Napanee. If you are interested in buying tickets for the event, you can call: 613-354-4423 or visit their website: 2010Tankard.com for more details. Read More →

City Council Back Bid For Memorial Cup

January 19, 2010 · Comments Are Closed

The city council has decided to step up and back the Kingston Frontenacs in their bid to host the 2011 Memorial Cup. The city is being asked to waive $20,000 in fees related to the event if the bid is successful. Aside from the obvious economic benefit, Ktown will also receive national attention which will help promote our city as a great tourist destination. A shortlist of cities that are in the running for winning the Cup will be announced in March and the winner will be announced at this year’s Memorial Cup in May in Brandon, Manitoba. Good luck!

Rotarians Raise Money For Haiti Earthquake Victims

January 19, 2010 · Comments Are Closed

Canadians have really stepped up in the past week and have donated a lot of money to the Red Cross to help the people of Haiti through this tragedy. The Canadian Government said they would match donations up to $50 million and we are half way to that goal in a week’s time. Way to go Canada! As expected, Kingstonians are doing their part also.
