Join the conversation as we explore an opportunity to accommodate a multi-sport stadium at the Kingston Memorial Centre.

Important reminders for the last week of public engagement activities:

  • All feedback must be sent to us by Friday, Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. to give us time to compile our engagement report for Council
  • Wednesday's in-person session will run from 3 to 5 p.m.


The City was approached by Victory Grounds Ventures (VGV) with interest in establishing a multi-sports stadium at the Kingston Memorial Centre. The stadium would support bringing a Canadian Premier League (CPL) soccer team and one female and one male semi-professional (League1) soccer teams to Kingston. The stadium would be a modular construction that is domed in the winter and would not only be used by these professional and semi-professional soccer teams but would also be available year-round for community user groups and sports organizations. On Jan. 14, 2025, Council directed staff to move forward on exploring the feasibility of VGV’s stadium proposal. This process will include an assessment of project feasibility and associated due diligence as well as consultation and discussion with community user groups, nearest neighbours and the broader community.
