Kingston is the first capital of Canada, the hometown of Sir John A. Macdonald. It is also the hometown of The Tragically Hip, actor Dan Aykroyd, hockey stars Don Cherry, Doug Gilmour and Kirk Muller, and marathon swimmer Vicki Keith.
Kingston is rich in history. The first Canadian parliament met here. The Honourable John Matheson, Father of the Canadian Flag, lives here. It has two of Canada's most historic and renowned universities: Queen's University, established by Royal Charter in 1841, and the Royal Military College of Canada, founded in the 1870s.
Here, with the artist's eye that has earned him international acclaim, Jack Chiang shows off Kingston's rich heritage, its vibrant institutions, magnificent buildings and breath-taking scenes.
Jack Chiang's Kingston is a gorgeous full-colour panorama of one of Canada's most captivating cities.
