Throw back to Friday when it was cold & windy...but at least it wasn’t snowing 🥶❄️ St. George’s Cathedral overlooking Lake Ontario. Or at least I was hoping it was at the time when I snapped this...my eyelashes were frozen together. 🥶 #SoColdISawAChickenAtKFCJumpIntoTheFryer #museum #ygk #kingstonmuseums #ygkchurches #canadianhistory #visitkingston #kingston_on #kingstoncanada #snow #cold #winter #nature #photography #love #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #like #landscape #picoftheday #travel #sky #january #kingstonmuseums #religion #church #inspiration #worship #architecture (at Kingston, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtI6lMggTWl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fabwyet6yd8c

For our French-speaking guests. Did you know the City of Kingston is an official bilingual city? Which makes sense being so close to Quebec and Ottawa, and right along the 401 corridor to Toronto. #kingstonmuseums #quebec #francophone #french #toronto #401 #ygk #kingston #visitkingston #kingstoncanada #kingstonintario #ottawa #english #sightseeing #museums #tourism #tourist #downtown #signssignseverywheretheressigns🎶 (at Kingston, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsiZDp0AUcL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vomwfv7j8ly4

Martello towers, sometimes known simply as Martellos, are small defensive forts that were built across the British Empire during the 19th century, from the time of the French Revolutionary Wars onwards. Most were coastal forts. They stand up to 40 feet (12 m) high (with two floors) and typically had a garrison of one officer and 15–25 men. Their round structure and thick walls of solid masonry made them resistant to cannon fire, while their height made them an ideal platform for a single heavy artillery piece, mounted on the flat roof and able to traverse, and hence fire over, a complete 360° circle. A few towers had moats or other batteries and works attached for extra defence. Nine of the fourteen Martello towers built in Canada still survive. A common characteristic of Canadian Martello towers was a removable cone-shaped roof to protect against snow. #ygk #kingston #kingstoncanada #kingstonmuseums #martello #towers #ygkphotography #visitkingston #kingston_on #beautifuldestinations #getaway #discoveron #discover #explore #bestofontario #military #forts #defence #thebestoffenceisagooddefence #kingstonphotography (at Royal Military College of Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BseVdvegGet/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5nqb2egnd1ev

James Thomas Sutherland (October 10, 1870 – September 16, 1955) was a Canadian ice hockey administrator, and founding father of the game in Canada. Sutherland was a pioneer of hockey’s early years, helping to developing amateur hockey, and spread the game's popularity throughout the country, and into the United States. He played in the inaugural season of the Ontario Hockey Association, and later coached and refereed the game. He founded the original Kingston Frontenacs, and later became president of the Ontario Hockey Association, and then the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. He was instrumental in founding the Memorial Cup in 1919, and was at the forefront of the discussion on the origins of hockey. Sutherland was the driving force behind the creation of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston. His many writings helped preserve the history of ice hockey in Canada, and his arguments for Kingston being the birthplace of hockey, is a major reason why the National Hockey League and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association selected Kingston as the original home of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was one of the original inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and often referred to as the "Father of Hockey. #ohhof #ygk #hockey #puck #kingstonmuseums #historic #kingston #ygkphotography #visitkingston #kingston_on #beautifuldestinations #getaway #discoveron #discover #explore #bestofontario #museum #military #Canadian #canada #memorialcup #frontenacs #greatwaterways #games https://www.instagram.com/p/Brsw_f6AMwn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ouf60sbzts6
