1056 Palmerston Crescent - Supportive Housing Near-Neighbour Community Meeting Update

We are reaching out today to share an update about the supportive housing meeting planned for Wednesday, Feb. 11 at Lancaster Public School to let you know we are adapting the meeting format and schedule in response to community feedback about public consultation on this project. Rather than a single large town hall meeting, Ryandale and the City will host four smaller in-person meetings at the INVISTA Centre and a webinar. We know there is a lot of interest in the project, and these changes increase capacity to meaningfully engage.

The near-neighbour meetings are reserved for residents within a 150-metre radius of 1056 Palmerston Cres. who received the information handout from Ryandale and the City in December. Up to two members from each household are invited to register. The updated form asks you to confirm your address and provides an opportunity to let us know what we can do to help you best participate during the session.

If you live outside the 150-metre radius and did not receive a near-neighbour invitation, we invite you to attend a webinar on March 4, 2026. During the webinar, operators will introduce the supportive housing program and address concerns through a moderated Q&A session. We also invite you to stay current and updated through Get Involved Kingston, where information and opportunities for input on integration of the supportive housing project will be shared.

Through the engagement process so far, we have heard that having meaningful conversations is important to people who live near to the property, and our goal is that through this adjusted engagement format we can include as many people and perspectives as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience re-registering for the meeting may cause. Please reach out to GetInvolvedKingston@cityofkingston.ca if we can assist.

Regards,
