Kingston council's moving ahead with a public visioning exercise to redevelop Centre 70, the Kingston Memorial Centre, and the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour.

Centre 70 will also be decommissioned, which Councillor Wendy Stephens says is the right move, but still bittersweet.

Community Services Commissioner Jennifer Campbell outlined what these visioning exercises do.

Staff will also explore installing a second ice pad at the Memorial Centre as well as expanding the harbour into year-round usage.
