the corner of Charles and Bagot Street.

[email protected] 613 549 4419 FRILL (Friends Revitalizing Industrial Land Lovingly) is a community garden that aims to bring people together in the spirit of community and good will. The garden was started in May 2004 by the Grade 2 class at Mulberry School and Carone Beaucage as a cleanup project. The original area was a vacant lot that had been “sprinkled with broken glass and trash. Graffiti covered the nearby warehouse…” Carone had moved into a house across the street and had said that she did not want her children to have to view such an unsightly “mess”. The community (teachers, students and parents) was invited to help out – creating ornamental, fruit and vegetable garden plots with trucked in soil. Kingston businesses also donated soil, lumber and plants during this early period. Ultimately, the group “FRILL” (Friends Revitalizing Industrial Land Lovingly) was born of this cohesive project and included families of the students at the school, people in the neighbourhood and Kingston citizens.

In April, 1954, Joe Melo, a 29-year old Portuguese farmer borrowed enough money to pay his passage to Canada, arriving with only $225 with which to build a new life. While he first settled in Halifax, his move to Kingston launched him on a journey that would take him from the world of construction to his own restaurant and eventually to the development of what is now the largest hotel in southeastern Ontario.

[email protected] 613 548-9400, 613 548-8460 (fax)

Centrally located in the heart of Eastern Ontario, Frontenac is steeped in history. Originally proclaimed on July 16, 1792 as part of the newly-created Midland District, Frontenac was joined by neighbouring Lennox and Addington counties, as one of the original nineteen counties in Upper Canada. The union was formally dissolved on January 1, 1865. The evolution of its municipal history continues. On January 1, 1998, the eighteen former townships were restructured to form four – the Townships of North, Central and South Frontenac and the Frontenac Islands, represented by their respective mayors on a four-member council.

Loyalist Township is located in the southern most part of Lennox and Addington County, on the shores of Lake Ontario, midway between Toronto and Ottawa. Straddling the 401 corridor and encompassing an area of 342.27 square kilometers (132.16 square miles) the Township consists of a variety of living environments including the fully serviced areas of Amherstview, Odessa, and Bath. Farms, countryside residences, recreational areas and a short ferry ride to Amherst Island separate these areas from each other. Other built-up residential areas include Wilton, Millhaven, Stella, Violet, and Switzerville.

613 476-2148 (office), 613 962-9108, 613 476-8356 (fax)

Prince Edward County is located on a large irregular headland or littoral at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, just west of the head of the St. Lawrence River. This headland (officially named Prince Edward County in 1792[1]) is surrounded on the north and east by the Bay of Quinte; as the Murray Canal now connects the bay to Lake Ontario across the only land connection, the county could technically be considered an island.According to the 2006 Census, Prince Edward has a population of 25,496 over an area of 1050.14 square kilometers. The county's relatively mild climate has led to the establishment of about 50 vineyards and close to a dozen wineries.

[email protected] 613-546-3333 St. Vincent de Paul Society was incorporated in 1874. It is was originally operated by a lone priest at St. Mary's Cathedral. By 1982, the Society was able to offer hot meals through the Loretta Hospitality Centre. By 1999, the Society was able to offer a safe welcoming space in addition to hot meals. The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides services to anyone in need in the Kingston area. They have created a wonderful community down on Stephen Street where respect and caring for each other and the space are clearly evident. There is an Advisory Committee made up of interested participants allowing them a voice in the running of our organization. They celebrate occasions and have theme days.

In the early 1990s the Sisters of Providence congregation officially established a Justice and Peace office to identify and take nonviolent action on issues that affect the poor. That action includes being a voice that challenges all -- from members of the congregation, to elected officials, to the general public -- to become more aware of the impact our decisions have on all members of society.
