News release: Add your voice to the Kingston Memorial Centre multi-sport stadium conversation!

Earlier this month, Kingston’s City Council met to discuss an opportunity to establish a multi-sports stadium, through a long-term land lease in a designated area at the Kingston Memorial Centre. The project, proposed by Victory Ground Ventures, would support bringing a Canadian Premier League and two semi-professional soccer teams to Kingston. The stadium would also be available year-round for community user groups and sports organizations.

Do you have a question about the multi-sport stadium project proposed for Kingston’s Memorial Centre or want to follow allow with the conversation and public engagement progress? A new project page on Get Involved Kingston has launched, marking the beginning of the City-led public engagement.

From now until Feb. 28, 2025, community organizations, partner agencies, near neighbours, event organizers and site users which would be affected by the proposed multi-sport stadium have an opportunity to share ideas, concerns and questions with the City through a series of public engagement opportunities. Feedback collected during the consultation process will be shared on the Get Involved Kingston platform.

“Engaging with our community is essential to ensure that any development at the Kingston Memorial Centre reflects the values and needs of community members. We are committed to a transparent process where every voice is heard, considered and shared with Council,” says Jennifer Campbell, Commissioner, Community Services.

All engagement dates and opportunities will be shared on Get Involved Kingston, and everyone who signs up for project news will receive updates directly to their email inboxes.
