Kingston waterfront news: June 2012
REMEMBER LAST YEAR?
That was then.
The latest LAKE ONTARIO WATER LEVEL FORECAST now predicts relatively low water throughout the summer.
Which is to say, at least a foot lower than last summer through the end of July.
Overall the bad news persists: the big lakes upstream -- Lakes Huron and Superior -- are still far below long-term averages.

KINGSTON'S 2012 MAJOR REGATTA PICTURE is much heavier this year than last.
One World Championship and four North American Championships are booked.
This summer's premier event, the Shark Worlds, is hosted by KYC at the end of August.
Our last Worlds' was the Byte CII Worlds in 2009. So it's been awhile
CORK still lists the Byte CII World Championships in June but that regatta won't happen.
