Who Are We?
We’re a community association serving, Portsmouth, Calvin Park, Polson Park, and Fairway Hills.
We support active and involved folks who live in the Portsmouth District to be engaged and involved in the growth and success of our community.
Through our liaison with city staff, planners and officials, we hope to affect the decisions which impact our waterfront, public services such as schools, transporation, infrastructure and heritage as well as preserving our parks and gardens.
If you’d like to join the association, you’ll be supporting our PDCA community events and have the option to receive our newsletters which bring you up to date information on activities and developments that affect all of us.
Our Primary Objectives are to:
- Preserve and enhance the quality of life for residents of the entire Portsmouth District including seniors, families, students and local businesses
- Advance the interests of the entire community of the entire Portsmouth District
We aim to achieve these objectives by:
- Acting as advocates for the interests of residents of Portsmouth District with the appropriate officials, agents and groups on questions that affect our community
- Liaising and partnering with other agents and organizations about matters which impact Portsmouth District and the City of Kingston
- Preserving historic Portsmouth Village as a heritage area
- Organizing and promoting community events
- Developing the means to ensure that the lines of communication between our residents, our city staff and our district councillor remain accessible and effective, for example our Coffee with the Councillor events which provides an opportunity for informal sharing of ideas and questions with our district councillor.For more information about these events, please sign up for our free eNewsletter.
