Canadian Antiques Roadshow Will Visit Kingston
It’s official. Organizers of Kingston’s First Capital Day celebrations
on June 15 confirmed today that the widely popular Canadian Antiques
Roadshow have accepted their invitation to use Kingston, the First
Capital of a United Canada from 1841-1843, as a backdrop for the
antiques appraisal show seen on CBC Television and will be in Kingston
Thursday May 26 to produce two episodes of the program.
“We had hoped the show could be produced on first capital day which is
June
15 - it would have been a ready-made event for us to plan around. That
date didn’t work for them but we are very happy to report that the show
is in town in late May and will be produced from beautiful Grant Hall on
Queen’s campus,” says Brian Judge, a Communications Officer with the
City and a member of the First Capital Day committee.
“Considering the popularity of the program - nearly 1.3 million viewers
watch the program weekly - and the competition from other communities,
we’re happy that Canada’s first capital is one of just six Canadian
cities to host the show,” added Judge.
The Canadian Antiques Roadshow will visit Victoria, May 10, Edmonton on
May 14, Winnipeg on May 18 and Montreal on May 23. The program settles
into Kingston on Thursday, May 26 and then moves to St. John’s
Newfoundland on June 1, 2005.
“For details about ticket availability or about having items appraised
we’ve been told to encourage people to visit the Canadian Antique
Roadshow website
of tickets available and they are starting to go pretty fast.”
Planning for this year’s First Capital Day celebrations on June 15 is in
the final stages and will be released soon says Judge.
After the Union of the Canada’s was officially proclaimed on February
15, 1841, Governor General Lord Sydenham officially named Kingston as
the Capital. For three years, Kingston, a small village incorporated as
a town in 1838, served as the capital of a United Canada from February,
1841 to June, 1844. Parliament met in the new General Hospital Building
and set the framework for the government of Canada.
