Motion of Recognition - Consent Week

Moved by: Councillor Stephen

Seconded by: Councillor Ridge

• That Kingston City Council recognize the third week of September as Consent Week. Recognized by many post-secondary institutions and municipalities across Ontario, the timing of Consent Week has been chosen to highlight that, during the first weeks of school, there is a significant increase in sexual violence. Consent is giving permission for something to happen, or agreement to do something, without threat or coercion. Consent is also about setting boundaries, having the freedom to express those boundaries, respecting the boundaries set by others, and being able to accept rejection and move on. The City of Kingston recognizes the efforts of Queen’s University to encourage and foster consent culture and encourages all Kingston residents to do the same.

Cricket Field - 32 Bagot Street

Moved by: Councillor Amos

Seconded by: Councillor Chaves

• Whereas the Cricket Field located at 32 Bagot Street has been utilized by the community for many years and is part of a municipally designated property under Ontario Heritage Act; and

  Whereas in 2022 following engagement with the Sydenham District Association and the Heritage Kingston, City Council approved improvements to the Cricket Field, including a temporary fence and gates around the outfield to support a national championship tournament in Kingston; and

  Whereas the temporary fence around the outfield was intended to be removed post-tournament based on direction from City Council; and

  Whereas some members of the community have shared concerns about the removal of the temporary fence as they see value in its retention for future uses, including potential future events; and

  Whereas City Council wants to ensure that it maximizes the taxpayers’ investments in community infrastructure;

  Therefore Be It Resolved That City Council direct staff to consult with the Sydenham District Association and the Kingston Heritage Properties Committee to identify options that could possibly result in an event based or permanent outfield fence at the Cricket Field, either through use of the existing temporary fence or a new fence; and

  That Council direct staff to consider options for reuse or relocation of the temporary outfield fence should it not remain at the Cricket Field to maximize taxpayers’ investment; and

  That Council direct staff to leave the temporary outfield fence at Cricket Field until staff report back with options in early 2025.
