Enclosure of Culligan Water Park to provide year-round aquatic services, expanding from 3 months to 12 months per year.

Alright, here's an odd question. I'm hosting family for my son's birthday, and he's asked for hotdogs for lunch. We've got some foodies in the family, so I don't want to skimp and just go with your typical Maple Leaf dogs.

I believe this is the first midrise proposed under the new Central Kingston Growth Plan. The building would be located at the corner of Johnson and Aberdeen, replacing three buildings (six total units) with a six-storey, 45-unit build. No commercial space is proposed (I don't believe the new bylaw requires it in this location).

Developer is Amber Peak.
