Kingston City Council to vote on enclosing Memorial Centre Aqua Park
Enclosure of Culligan Water Park to provide year-round aquatic services, expanding from 3 months to 12 months per year. It is anticipated that this initiative would add 0.75 aquatic service capacity and could be implemented in the short to medium term based on cost and financing. This initiative supports additional community use but will not be able to accommodate any competitive use.
...
Recommendation:
That Council endorse the enclosure of the Culligan Water Park to make it a year-round facility based on the concepts with open space and glazing attached as Exhibit A to Report Number 24- 002; and
That Council approve a budget of $25.1M for the Culligan Water Park enclosure to be funded by $5.0M in development charges, $5.1M in Municipal Capital Reserve Fund and $15.0M in debt issuance;

The first half was great. Unique, funny, and great production design. Then they went back to Barbie Land and the plot got super muddy.
I'm pretty hazy on what Ken might have learned over the course of the film or what Ruth Handler was trying to convey in the end.
We went with a selection of all-beef hotdogs, Italian sausages, and honey-garlic sausages, along with sauerkraut, fancy mustard, and other standard toppings, plus a variety of bun options (including a baguette, which was a surprising hit).
Thanks again for the advice! Everyone left with happy bellies.
Wake up!
From Dusk Til Dawn. I actually quite enjoyed the unexpected about-face in genre midway through the film, however.
It's refreshing to read about a celebrity feud and then have an improved opinion of everyone involved.
What are you, blind?! It's a cock!

Take your time, RCMP. We don't have another election until 2026, and there are too many forgetful voters who will gloss over this event if it ends now with Amato's resignation.

Housing Minister Sean Fraser says the federal government should have never got out of the housing business even as high-income professionals are struggling to find affordable housing.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser says the federal government should have never got out of the housing business even as high-income professionals are struggling to find affordable housing.
"For the better part of the last half century, federal governments of different partisan stripes, by the way, liberal and conservatives, have stepped away from forwarding affordable housing in this country," he said. "That should never have happened, but it did."
Talk is cheap, but it's refreshing to see the new Housing Minister broach the issue of the feds building housing. AFAIK, landlord Ahmed Hussen never discussed this in his tenure as Housing Minister.
I guess we'll see if there's any meaningful action from him before the next person takes his seat.
Thanks for the recommendations, folks! We're gonna combine a few of these ideas and offer some options. Appreciate everyone's insights!
City of Kingston looks to automate curbside garbage collection with standard carts
The City of Kingston is looking to automate the collection of curbside trash and green bins within the next few years, but says the switch will not result in layoffs.
This could be an interesting move. If you're wondering what it might look like, this video from the City of Guelph is super helpful: Automated Waste Collection
Odd question: premium hotdogs?
Alright, here's an odd question. I'm hosting family for my son's birthday, and he's asked for hotdogs for lunch. We've got some foodies in the family, so I don't want to skimp and just go with your typical Maple Leaf dogs.
Does anyone know where I could get some premium, potentially locally-made hotdogs? Does such a thing exist?

I agree 100%. We need more midrise buildings outside of student neighbourhoods. I'm hoping this new council will take this more seriously when they develop the next official plan.
And here I was thinking the Xbox was the Microsoft of consoles. 😅
Jokes aside, you make a good point.
New six-storey build proposed at 390 Johnson
I believe this is the first midrise proposed under the new Central Kingston Growth Plan. The building would be located at the corner of Johnson and Aberdeen, replacing three buildings (six total units) with a six-storey, 45-unit build. No commercial space is proposed (I don't believe the new bylaw requires it in this location).

Solid tip! Always open to new sandwich shops, and I would never have expected one among all the specialty hardware stores in that plaza.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
I will be pleasantly surprised if this is finished in my lifetime. How long have past governments discussed this topic? Is this the farthest we've gone in getting it built so far?
It plans to begin the "new era" with a refreshed homepage, on Thursday, 20 July.
Five days later, it will bring back 50 of the website's classic games amid plans to fix "many of the most beloved games" in the future.
I'm surprised they aren't spending the money on rebooting with an app. Is the target age demographic likely to play games in a web browser in 2023?
You are a mighty patient person to take that route! Smart to go in winter, when there are a few less tractors to pass.
If you're feeling extra patient and want to go the other direction, apparently it stretches all the way through Quebec and New Brunswick to Nova Scotia.
