People who are trying to save Kingston Penitentiary.

The Honourable Mark Gerretsen, Federal Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands:
   "At the municipal level, Kingston Mayor Mark Gerretsen said he wants the site to be preserved, but he's more focused on what the closing means for prison workers". (From: "Ottawa puts $17.6 million dollar price tag on Kingston Penitentiary" by Carys Mills, Globe and Mail, May 20 2012.)

Floyd Patterson, Frontenac Heritage Foundation:
"The federal government has the power to demolish them...However, we concluded that would be absolutely atrocious, grievous, scandalous...for the federal government to ever attempt to do that." (From: Group tries to get Kingston Penitentiary heritage status" by Peter Hendra, Sun Media.)

Comments
1.)It's so important to keep Canada's history alive. Nothing compares to seeing and touching our past first hand. Kingston Penitentiary is not a glamorous historical landmark but it is a place where men, women and for a time children , served their time.

2.) Being such  a huge part of our Nation's history we should preserve it. Let's look at the possibilities for the city of Kingston making a profit by leaving our history intact.

3.) This prison deserves to be preserved as one of Canada's historical sites!
