Queen Mary Road: A New Chapter in Integrated Health and Housing

Thu Sep 12 2024
The City of Kingston is making waves with its latest project, a housing and health-care facility at 309 Queen Mary Road. The City's vision is to create a unique model of primary health care, transitional housing, and community-based programming. The facility will include a transitional housing program for 35+ individuals, a primary health-care clinic, and community-use space. But what's the plan for ensuring these services are accessible to all? City staff will be sharing a 15-minute presentation to review the operational plan, but what about the bigger picture? The information session is an opportunity for community members to learn more about the project, but what about the opportunity for community members to share their thoughts and concerns? This is a chance to shape the future of Queen Mary Road, but what if the City's plan isn't good enough? What if there's a better way to achieve the desired outcomes? The future of Queen Mary Road is up for grabs. Let's make sure to ask the right questions and demand answers.
