Frontenac Heritage Foundation's new website
In 2022, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation was successful in obtaining a grant from the City of Kingston Heritage Fund to assist Dr. Robert Banks in publishing his book 'Warriors and Warships: Conflict on the Great Lakes and the Legacy of Point Frederick'. That fall, with the permission of the Royal Military College, Bob conducted a well-attended walking tour of the Point. Then in the fall of 2023, Sue Bazely and Bob Banks were granted permission by the College to be interviewed by David McCallum of Lightstruck Film and Media to film a walking tour of the Point. This short film combines those interviews with historical images, along with drone imagery by Darren Keuhl of Razor Aerial Productions to give you a look back in time to life on Point Frederick before the RMC was established.

Spend time with an experienced stonemason who has worked on the West Block, the construction of the new Visitor's Welcome Centre, and the Centre Block; he has been close up and personal with these buildings in a way that is afforded to few!

The term ‘NIMBY’ or ‘Not in My Backyard’ is often used to discredit local activists who seek to ward off unfavourable development in their neighbourhoods. In this talk, Christine Sypnowich suggests that, far from being purely selfish, those who take up such causes can be valuable custodians of the common good. Christine Sypnowich is a professor, Queen’s National Scholar and head of the Department of Philosophy at Queen's University. She is also chairperson of the Coalition of Kingston Communities and the president of the Barriefield Village Association.
