> Enclosure of Culligan Water Park to provide year-round aquatic services, expanding from 3 months to 12 months per year. It is anticipated that this initiative would add 0.75 aquatic service capacity and could be implemented in the short to medium term based on cost and financing. This initiative supports additional community use but will not be able to accommodate any competitive use. ... > **Recommendation:** > That Council endorse the enclosure of the Culligan Water Park to make it a year-round facility based on the concepts with open space and glazing attached as Exhibit A to Report Number 24- 002; and > That Council approve a budget of $25.1M for the Culligan Water Park enclosure to be funded by $5.0M in development charges, $5.1M in Municipal Capital Reserve Fund and $15.0M in debt issuance; See [Report 24-002 Aquatic Facilities Options](https://www.cityofkingston.ca/documents/10180/40092225/City-Council_Meeting-09-2024_Report-24-002_Aquatic-Facilities-Options.pdf/c1352402-2a23-5b4c-e444-31d9d3191070?t=1709218720451)--

The first half was great. Unique, funny, and great production design. Then they went back to Barbie Land and the plot got super muddy.
I'm pretty hazy on what Ken might have learned over the course of the film or what Ruth Handler was trying to convey in the end.

We went with a selection of all-beef hotdogs, Italian sausages, and honey-garlic sausages, along with sauerkraut, fancy mustard, and other standard toppings, plus a variety of bun options (including a baguette, which was a surprising hit).
Thanks again for the advice! Everyone left with happy bellies.

AppLovin? What kind of a stupid name is that? What, are they trying to be an Irish R&B singer?

Take your time, RCMP. We don't have another election until 2026, and there are too many forgetful voters who will gloss over this event if it ends now with Amato's resignation.

> Housing Minister Sean Fraser says the federal government should have never got out of the housing business even as high-income professionals are struggling to find affordable housing. > "For the better part of the last half century, federal governments of different partisan stripes, by the way, liberal and conservatives, have stepped away from forwarding affordable housing in this country," he said. "That should never have happened, but it did." Talk is cheap, but it's refreshing to see the new Housing Minister broach the issue of the feds building housing. AFAIK, landlord Ahmed Hussen never discussed this in his tenure as Housing Minister. I guess we'll see if there's any meaningful action from him before the next person takes his seat.

This could be an interesting move. If you're wondering what it might look like, this video from the City of Guelph is super helpful: [Automated Waste Collection](https://youtu.be/NCdZl4SUC6Y)
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. Does anyone know where I could get some premium, potentially locally-made hotdogs? Does such a thing exist?

I agree 100%. We need more midrise buildings outside of student neighbourhoods. I'm hoping this new council will take this more seriously when they develop the next official plan.

And here I was thinking the Xbox was the Microsoft of consoles. 😅
Jokes aside, you make a good point.
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](https://www.amberpeak.ca/). Architecture by [RAW Design](https://rawdesign.ca/), who did the Broom Factory renewal.

It plans to begin the "new era" with a refreshed homepage, on Thursday, 20 July.
Five days later, it will bring back 50 of the website's classic games amid plans to fix "many of the most beloved games" in the future.
I'm surprised they aren't spending the money on rebooting with an app. Is the target age demographic likely to play games in a web browser in 2023?
My partner and I took a day trip to Lugano from Como last fall. While the price of Swiss food was a bit steep compared to Italy, and the fog spoiled our photos from atop the Alps, there were so many incredible, photo-worthy sites on the ground. Not pictured: the smell. What I would have done to bottle and bring home the fantastic aroma of this city.
