Petition to Conserve the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (POH) Greenspace and Character
WE DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THIS GREAT WATERFRONT PARK TO DEVELOPMENT

Comments
1.) This is our park, it should not be for sale, as well as the Kingston Pen. They olympic harbour is already there for use by the sailboaters. AS well...the City urgently needs stable revenue...use the Kingston Pen as a tourist attraction! don't tear down the walls!

2.) Developing this beautiful space would be an absolute travesty.

3.) Kingston needs to hold on to its green spaces.

4.) Taking beautiful space from the people of the community is just another example of the greed of people and politicians. It's a great shame.

5.) I believe in preserving our green space and park lands - they are irreplaceable. You can build anywhere...else.

Petition Don't Erase History - Protect the Penitentiary
Help preserve the National Historic Site of Kingston Penitentiary

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, (wo)men 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!
