Staff will be at the door to give you directions. Park in any unmarked parking space; there is also parking around Shoppers Drug Mart. Express buses #501 and 502 serve Upper Princess Street with a stop very near Kingsbridge. Bus #4 offers slower service along Princess Street from downtown. Use the Centennial Drive bus stop.
Upcoming Meetings

You have access to a video of the late George Muirhead reminiscing about his time in Kingston. View it here He talks about his life and career as Kingston’s first City Planner. I believe this one-hour overview presented by the individual at the centre of the post-war Kingston historic building restoration movement, the Rideau Heights slum clean-up, the founding of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation, plus much more, is an important document of recent Kingston history.
Wed, Oct 8 at 7 p.m. seminar on Bedford Mills, hosted by the South Frontenac Community Centre (Sydenham)
