A Place Like No Other: Sir John's Public House

 

Once a trained curator and historian for the federal government, now entrepreneur and restaurateur, Paul Fortier has had quite the journey in Kingston with his company, Jessup Food and Heritage. With locations that include Renaissance Event Venue, Fort Henry Restaurants and his recent establishment of Sir John's Public House, Jessup Food and Heritage is taking Kingston by storm. Envisioned to be a traditional and casual Scottish Pub on King Street, the hallmark of what would become Sir John's Public House is the special and charming location: it was once the law office of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. To read the full story click here.

Gordon Lightfoot

May 6

Rogers K-Rock Centre

1 The Tragically Hip Way

In the music world, Gordon Lightfoot may very well be the idol of icons. When listening to a Lightfoot recording, Bob Dylan "doesn't want the song to end", and can't think of any of his songs he doesn't like. Daniel Lanois loves everything about him. Jimmy Buffet admits he always tries to write songs like him. But rather than bask in the adulation he so clearly inspires, the musical legend continues to work harder than ever.
