Swim in Lake Ontario!

Considering how much water there is close to or in Kingston, it's amazing that there is almost no place to swim in the lake or river. One can go to Grass Creek to swim on a nice sandy beach, but people without vehicles can't get there.

We need a swimming place along the city's waterfront. The location has to be central to citizens, and served by public transit. Children and their parents need to be able to hop on a bus, and get there easily. And we need it soon.

Richardson Beach would be a great start! Yes, there are issues that would have to be addresssed. Let's ask the people! What would they like? Where? How can we overcome some issues around Richardson Beach? Is that the best place for a "swimming hole"?

Talk is easy. Act. Set a date. Go for it.
