February 2017 – workshop presenting the emerging vision
The emerging vision for the former Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour sites was presented to the public at workshop #3. A survey was conducted to provide input on the emerging vision.
November 2016 - exploration illustrations survey
Based on your input at the October charettes, focus groups and open house session, four designs for the former Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour sites have been drafted.
October 2016
The workshop and design charrette is for the team working with the public to develop a few conceptual plans that demonstrate options for the property. The concept plans will show options for access (roads, trails, parking), options for building location, mass and height, options for green space and options for the marina. The options will enable the team and the community to understand the full range of possibilities for the site.
