Kingston Canadian Kingston Canadian Film Festival Film Festival Director Mark Garniss March 1-4 This 18th annual festival is coming to a screen near you with showings across the city in early March. The three-and- a-half days of programming will feature Canadian film screenings, educational workshops, live music and special guest appearances. Festival director Mark Garniss, now preparing for his sixth festival, says the KCFF audience has grown steadily each year, making way for more seats and bigger venues. Last year saw 8,000 attendees; he says this year organizers are planning for close to 10,000.

Why is the KCFF so popular? In March we find that we have people’s attention a little bit more.

Fort Henry was originally built during the War of 1812 to protect the Royal Navy Dockyards (where today’s Royal Military College is now situated).

The Portsmouth Olympic Harbour was built for the 1976 Olympic Games, and to this day it continues to be a popular spot for visitors and training regattas.

Margaret Atwood’s novel Alias Grace begins with its main character, Grace Marks, incarcerated in Kingston Penitentiary.

Its waterfront location makes Kingston one of Canada’s windiest cities.

A devastating fire that in 1840 obliterated parts of downtown and City Hall prompted rebuilding with local limestone – that’s how Kingston came to be known as the Limestone City.

Kingston is home to four of the nine existing Martello towers in Canada (14 were originally built).

Our country’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, grew up in Kingston after he was brought here from Scotland at the age of five.

Canadian Idol’s first winner, Ryan Malcolm, was a Kingston resident before his claim to fame.

The Kingston Whig-Standard – despite some name changes in its history – is Canada’s oldest daily newspaper.

Early experiments in the technology of X-rays were performed at the Royal Military College in the mid-1800s.

We’re So Crafty WOLFE ISLAND SPRING CRAFT BEER Kingston’s newest neighbour and the latest addition to the city’s burgeoning craft beer scene, the Wolfe Island Spring Craft Brewery serves up tasty suds of all sorts to thirsty patrons around town. With a wide selection of lagers, ales and everything in between, the Wolfe Island Spring Craft Brewery boasts a robust lineup of full-bodied brews for every palate. Try their signature brew Wolfenstein Cannonball Ale - a German Steinbier brewed with an authentic, 36lb solid iron cannonball, literally dredged from the bottom of Lake Ontario and likely leftover from one of many conflicts surrounding the Great Lakes during the War of 1812. The cannonball is heated significantly hotter than the German’s brewers. This heat caramelizes sugars from the malt to help balance bitterness from the hops, and the residual iron the cannonball leaves in the beer gives it its crisp and refreshing finish.

Sip on these this summer.

Kingston’s outdoors has much to offer, starting with Lake Ontario, which is accessible from all parts of the city. That means a beautiful waterfront view is never far away. From there, explore trails, conservation areas, skating rinks and more. You could also venture outside to one of Kingston’s premier winter festivals or events.

Skating With more than a dozen outdoor rinks across the city, there is no reason not to lace up a pair of skates this winter. The iconic rink at Springer Market Square gets top marks for being postcard-pretty, while our charming neighbourhood rinks – some of which also boast indoor heated change areas – are ideal for figure eights or pick-up shinny. On chillier days, take advantage of the public skating hours at one of the city’s arenas. cityofkingston.ca/residents/ recreation/facilities/arenas/ outdoor-rinks cityofkingston.ca/residents/ recreation/programs/skating/ public-skating Cross-Country Skiing There’s nothing like quietly cutting through the woods on a pair of cross-country skis.

Open from dawn until If it’s an adrenaline rush dusk, the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area (1641 Perth you’re after, seek out a Road, Glenburnie) is a 15- to 20-minute drive from downtown and sled and hit the slopes!

Day hill at Fort Henry (helmets passes are $5.50 for adults/$3 for children 12 and under, up to recommended), while spots at $14/vehicle. Roden Park and near Strathcona Park offer gentler rides. Snowshoeing From traipsing along trails to cutting across frozen lakes, snowshoes make it easy to navigate all kinds of snowy terrain – and it’s a great workout, too. Rent a pair at Trailhead (262 Princess St.) – $15 for 24 hours, or $30 for a weekend – then get exploring. Lemoine Point Conservation Area (1440 Cloverdale Dr., in the city’s west end) boasts more than 2,500 metres of Lake Ontario shoreline, and it’s one of many great spots in
