CNIB families in the Kingston area are invited to join us on Tuesday, August 18 for a day of exploration, connection, and community as we visit two unique Kingston landmarks.
The day begins with a guided tour of the historic Kingston Penitentiary, where participants will discover more than 180 years of Canadian history and learn about the people who lived and worked within Canada's oldest and most famous maximum-security prison.
Following the tour, families will gather for a complimentary pizza lunch at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning.
After lunch, participants will enjoy a guided tour of the Centre and learn about the many inclusive arts, cultural, and community programs and services available to residents of the Kingston area.
