Sir John A. 360
Consultation has concluded
The Sir John A. 360 engagement opportunity is now closed. If you would like to learn more about the actions arising from the consultation or from the Your Stories, Our Histories project please https://www.cityofkingston.ca/city-hall/projects-construction/your-stories.
The legacy of Sir John. A Macdonald is the subject of national and local debate. The City of Kingston is facilitating a public conversation on his historic connections to Kingston, which included his role and actions as a political figure, and the legacy of those actions today, when they must be viewed through the lens of reconciliation.
Through a series of public events and this Get Involved page, the City invites residents to offer their perspectives on Sir John A. Macdonald and how his history and legacy can be positioned within a broader understanding of local history.
This engagement is related to the overarching goals of the Your Stories, Our Histories project, which aims to tell more inclusive/diverse histories of Kingston.
Public feedback received through Sir John A. 360 will be combined with input received through Your Stories, Our Histories, and considered by the City as it updates its cultural heritage strategy.
