The city dazzles with soaring 19th century limestone architecture and the amenities of a major centre, but retains the fascinating allure of a small town. Kingston is home to Queen’s, one of Canada’s finest universities, the Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College, as well as a thriving business community. The city hosted the sailing event for the 1976 Olympics and the Championships will be hosted out of the same venue as was used in 1976, offering a unique opportunity to experience the magic of the Olympic Games.
