Quinte Fishing

Last summer, I had a meeting with the Deputy Mayor, the head of Parks and Recreation and 2 city councilors to discuss how woefully inadequate parking and launching facilities are around Kingston. I pointed out that the city is losing out on huge sport tourism dollars by not promoting access to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence for smaller boats and fishing tournaments.
As a result of that meeting, I was asked to sit on the City of Kingston Waterfront Master Plan Committee tasked with formulating a long term vision for all waterfront property within Municipal boundaries. This includes Lake Ontario from Collins Bay in the west to east of Grass Creek Park, the Inner Harbour, Cataraqui River, Colonel By and the River Styx.
I’ve spent the last 6 months trying to push for better facilities and now I need your help. The Waterfront committee is hosting an open house public meeting next Wednesday June 25th starting at 7:00 in the Press Lounge at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, 53 Yonge St.
I need as many anglers as possible to show up and voice their concerns over the lack of existing facilities for boaters and shoreline fisherman. The more people that show up and complain, the more likely the city is to take our complaints seriously and do something about it.

Hope to see you there

We need to do this. If we don't, we will lose all access and we know there isn't enough parking. Look what happened up at the "Old Woolen Mill".
