Living in Kingston and Kingston Official Heritage Committee

Kingston official Heritage Committee: Now, I m a history buff. I love living in Kingston, where the past is always present. I ve done oral history here, conducted walking tours and worked to save historic buildings. I sit on Kingston official Heritage Committee. So you would think I would be excited at the 200th anniversary of the birth of Canada first prime minister, our local boy, according to Toronto Star. In Kingston, we live with Macdonald every day. There are at least 11 historical plaques, and another going up this week beside his imposing statue. The building where his son was born is labelled. So are his law offices, the house where his sister and brother-in-law lived, the house where his mother lived. We have Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard, Sir John A. Macdonald School, Sir John Public House and even a locomotive dubbed The Spirit of Sir John A and I live in Kingston, Ont. So did John Macdonald, back in the day. Little John came here from Scotland when he was 5 years old. He became a lawyer here when he was 15. Although he lived away for his many years as a politician, and died in Ottawa, he was brought back to Kingston to be buried. But I want to go on record as a party-pooper. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
