Williamsville is a neighbourhood located in downtown Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The neighbourhood is bounded by Concession Street to the north, Johnson Street to the south and Sir John A Macdonald Blvd to the west, and Division Street to the east. [1] Williamsville is represented on the City Council by counsellor Vincent Cinanni [2] and is also home to the Williamsville Community Association, a local advocacy group committed to the interests of Williamsville's residents, businesses, and agencies. [3]
As one of the original neighbourhoods of the City of Kingston, Williamsville is home to several good examples of local Limestone, Victorian, and Craftsman-Style architecture. [4] The neighbourhood is also known for being the childhood home of Don Cherry. [5] Following the completion of Ontario Highway 401 and declining usage of Ontario Highway 2, the main thoroughfare through Kingston, economic prosperity declined in Williamsville beginning in the 1960s. [4] As a result, Williamsville has been the subject of several revitalisation efforts based on the Williamsville Main Street Study. [6] These efforts have led to extensive renovations to the Kingston Memorial Centre, significant investment in infrastructure along Princess Street along the Williamsville corridor, [7] new residential development projects, [8] and the addition of Kingston's second Farmers' Market. [9]
Each year, Williamsville hosts several of Kingston's festivals, including the Kingston Fall Fair, [10] the Kingston Ribfest & Craft Beer Show, [11] and the Kingston Health & Fitness Expo. [12]
