Kingston is a major arts and cultural centre. Leisure activities are many and diverse, benefiting from the natural and man-made assets of the community. Arts,
culture and leisure are recognized for their value to the well-being of residents as well as their economic value. However, the community believes that arts,
culture and leisure are threatened by diminishing resources and that planning for the future of these assets is needed. The first step is the development of a
strategy including:
-
Assessment of economic benefits and development of a marketing plan directed at tourists; and
-
Review of facilities and programs in light of current and projected community needs.
