A municipal holiday that encourages employers to give a day off to the community.
Maybe a summer Friday. It could be a wellness day for the city. You could also organize promenade-like events around it to support local businesses that chose to remain open. Like a family day. Perhaps get a buy in from major employers in the city and others would follow

Support a High Volume Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic
The only solution to Kingston's pet over breeding crisis is a HVLC spay neuter clinic accessible to anyone who understands intact animals need human intervention. The rescues are burnt out and kittens are being born all over this city. It is out of control. Controversy and blaming cats (and dog's) for existing will not solve anything. They will hunt to survive, some will starve, freeze, become sick and subsequently die suffering. It's time to allocate tax dollars to fix the problem at it's source rather than creating bylaws that are useless and not sustainable. Doing so will exacerbate this crisis. You build it, they will come. We have 1000's of stray and feral cats breeding right now right under our noses. Some people care, some don't. Please be a humane community. This endeavour WILL NOT have any impact on the current veterinary businesses.

Please enforce speed limits and other traffic laws before more people are killed. Smoke and mirror traffic calming doesn't work.
