A basket of miscellaneous thoughts.....

Back froom a vacation in Western Canada. My, those mountains look great, and the prairie looks even better!
From the runour mill, it seems that the track and field fans, coaches, and movers, are finally going to get an all-weather track in Kingston. Well, THEY made it happen!!! This is great news. It will be at the corner of King Street and Portsmouth Avenue. Our young people will be able to train and compete on a *real* track, instead of the slightly-better-than-cinders track at the university.
The next thing (after the 50m pool and related community services!!) will be a field house with tennis courts/badminton courts/field hockey surface along with an indoor track, jumping pits etc. Then our citizens will really bee able to "get active," become healthier, enjoy sport more, and build a stronger community.
Amen.
Sport Kingston will be meeting in July to set a pro-active course for the next year. It's time! The city is developing a master plan for recreation and sport development, and Sport Kingston wants to be part of that.
Together, we can do more than we can separately. A lesson learned in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where so much is accomplished by combining resources. The sum is grater than the parts.
