The City of Kingston, Ontario, is asking residents for their feedback during March 2026 to help plan the future of three major community spaces. This project will look at how the Memorial Centre, Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, and Centre 70 can be updated to serve the city for the next 20 years.
The city is holding four public meetings this month to gather ideas from people who use these buildings for sports and community programs. There will be one meeting for each specific location, plus a fourth session where all three sites will be discussed at once.
This planning process follows a vote by city council in September 2025 to approve the design criteria for how the buildings should be improved. To help with the work, the city has hired Sierra Planning and Management as the lead experts to guide the project.
Other partners helping with the designs include MJMA Architecture & Design and Ingersoll & Associates Inc. These groups are looking for ways to keep the buildings useful while making sure any future construction is affordable and meets local needs.
According to the city, these sites are vital recreational facilities used by residents for sports and community activities. By sharing their views now, residents can help decide how these public spaces will change as the city continues to grow.
