Williamsville is a neighbourhood located in downtown Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The neighbourhood is bounded by Concession Road to the north, Princess Street to the south and west, and Division Street to the east.[1] Williamsville is represented on the City Council by counsellor Jim Neill [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 #REDIRECT [[1]] and declining usage of Ontario Highway 2 #REDIRECT [[2]], the main thoroughfare through Kingston, economic prosperity declined in Williamsville beginning in the 1960's. [6] As a result, Williamsville has been the subject of several revitalisation efforts based on the Williamsville Main Street Study. [7] These efforts have led to extensive renovations to the Kingston Memorial Centre #REDIRECT [[3]], significant investment in infrastructure along Princess Street along the Williamsville corridor [8], new residential development projects [9], and the addition of Kingston's second Farmer's Market. [10].
Each year, Williamsville hosts several of Kingston's festivals, including the Kingston Fall Fair [11], the Kingston Ribfest & Craft Beer Show [12], and the Kingston Health & Fitness Expo. [13]
