Portsmouth, Kingston

Portsmouth Village is a formerly incorporated village in Ontario which was annexed to become a neighbourhood of Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1952. The village was founded in 1784 by United Empire Loyalists. It began to grow with the establishment of Kingston Penitentiary nearby in 1833 and was formally incorporated in 1858. A town hall was created by William Coverdale in 1865 and is used today by various special interest clubs. The shoreline was soon home to numerous tanneries; breweries, including Molson and Labatt; shipyards; sawmills; and the nearby penitentiary and asylum, Rockwood Asylum (now closed). The penitentiary, Kingston Penitentiary, and asylum are the only establishments from this era that remain today. Economic opportunities declined at the turn of the 20th century, and the village was annexed by the city of Kingston in 1952. Portsmouth Village is home to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, which held the yachting and boating events of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Today the area retains its historic village feel while being a part of the city of Kingston. The district is bounded by Johnson Street to the north, Portsmouth Avenue to the west, Lake Ontario to the south, and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard to the east. Numerous amenities are available including a school, arena, and several historic churches and parks. There are also numerous local businesses along King Street West. The north-eastern portion of Portsmouth is home to the West Campus of Queen's University as well as Richardson Memorial Stadium, home of the Queen's Golden Gaels. Portsmouth is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) west of Kingston City Hall. St. Lawrence College and Lake Ontario Park lie on the western boundary of the village at Portsmouth Avenue, along with Cataraqui Golf and Country Club, which operates a nationally renowned golf course and a curling club.

École secondaire publique Mille-Îles

École secondaire publique Mille-Îles is a high school in Kingston, Ontario. It was founded in 1994 and was initially started as a French program within Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute (KCVI) in 1977. In 1980, it became a separate module serving students in grades 9 to OAC. The establishment of a distinct francophone public high school was first suggested in 1987, and the project came to fruition in 1994, which led to the inauguration of Mille-Îles as a distinct entity in 1995, still within the KCVI building. The school moved to its present location, the former location of Calvin Park Public School, in 1999, when it also expanded to welcome students in grades 7 and 8. In April 2012, the school moved to a new building (a renovated elementary school), which combined École élémentaire publique Madeleine-de-Roybon and Mille-Îles under the same roof. The schools, although they kept their separate identities, welcomed students from kindergarten to grade 12. There was also a daycare service offered by La garderie éducative.In January 2018, it was announced that a French community hub would be built. "The two French boards in Kingston — the Conseil des Ecoles Catholiques du Centre-Est de l’Ontario (CECCE) and the Conseil des Ecole Public de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO) — will see close to $24 million to build the new combined facility for Mille-Iles Public Secondary School and Marie-Rivier Catholic Secondary School, which will also include the Centre Culturel Frontenac community hub."In September 2018, while waiting for the construction of the new building, the school moved into the old St-Patrick Catholic Elementary school, which was shut down by the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board in 2015.In March 2020, it was announced that the French community hub would not be ready until at least the 2021–2022 school year.
