Opening Kingston’s Doors Other participating sites include:
By Braden Dragomir Reporter
Gazette News - Kingston’s history is rich; the city boasts the title of Canada’s first capital, was the home of Canada’s first Prime Minister, and contains many scenic features like the locks along the Rideau Canal; the list goes on. On Saturday, June 21, you get the chance to experience all of that history and more as Doors Open Kingston happens around the city. Dozens of locations, including several that are not usually open to the public, will welcome you in for free. For this city, 2014 marks a very special year, as Doors Open centres around the 100th anniversary of the First World War. “There’s a lot of historical significance with the theme of World War I this year,� said Community Events Coordinator Sue Hitchcock. “We even have a gentleman who has put together a World War I driving tour.� With the anniversary, Fort Frontenac will be opening its doors to the public for the first time. The Fort was built in 1673. “It’s never open to the public, and they’ve decided to open this year so I’m very excited about that, and so are they.� Also part of the First World War anniversary theme are the Royal Military College of Canada; CFB Kingston’s Camp Barriefield (now McNaughton Barracks); Queen’s University — who had more than 1,500 students, faculty and staff (189 of whom gave their lives) serving on various fighting fronts; Princess of Wale’s Own Regiment — the unit earned 18 Battle Honours in three years of frontline service; many of Kingston’s museums; and the Queen’s University Archives. “The Queen’s University Archives are new this year, and they have a wealth of artifacts from World War I. They have letters from students that went to war and wrote home, and so much more,� said Hitchcock. While the theme focuses on the First World War, there are also many locations that centre around art, culture and other historical events. Murney Tower, which normally has a charge, is free for the day so people can walk through and visit the museum.

The path to vitality
I panicked...
My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.�
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
which made me realize that it was special.�
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product�, relates a happy Christie.
DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.
YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity. Available at participating pharmacies and health food stores.
