Kingston Community Profile. The Social Planning Council of Kingston and Area is working with the Queen’s School of Urban and Regional Planning as well as Queen’s GIS lab to produce a community profile of Kingston. The Kingston Community Profile will provide a baseline measurement of Kingston’s quality of life - illustrating the health and well being of our community. The profile will aid in the planning and development of all sectors by providing a source for reliable, detailed, understandable and useful community data. The 2009 report will be the first in a series of reports, published every two to five years.
