WatIF Field Trip
Thanks to the kind support of Kingston Utilities, on July 26th WatIF will be hosting an exciting, full day field trip (FREE) for WatIF delegates!

This world-class facility is one of North America’s most environmentally progressive and responsible wastewater treatment plants, and the largest of its kind in Canada. After this, delegates will tour Fort Henry - one of Kingston's most popular tourist destinations. Fort Henry transports visitors to the realm of 19th century military life, and features guided tours, scenic views of Lake Ontario and musical performances. We will then take a quick detour to Bergeron Estate Winery for a late lunch and some local wine. To cap off this exciting day, delegates will enjoy a brewery tour at MacKinnon Brothers Brewing!

Tour of Fort HenryFort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to replace an existing fortification from the War of 1812 era. Situated atop Point Henry, the Fort protected the naval dockyard at Point Frederick, the entrance of the Rideau Canal and the town of Kingston, which was the major transshipment point along the supply route between Montreal or Ottawa and all points west.
Today, Fort Henry serves as a museum and historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from around the world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life and experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard.
