We met up with Mary Reid yesterday. She is a City Councilor on the Kingston City Council. Officially, they are called the Royal Borough of Kingston, or RBK for short. I did a quick presentation for their Chief Executive, Director of Human Services and Councilor Reid.
Kingston has been been a Royal Borough since 1280. That’s when the King granted them their first charter to become a “city”. One of the reasons that they are a Royal Borough is that they served as the royal coronation location for kings of yesteryear. In fact, this is a photo of the coronation stone that was used to coronate the Saxon kings of England in the 900’s.
Another city, another presentation of the Key to the City of Eden Prairie to the local authority. This is presentation is to the leader of the Liberal-Democratic Party at the Kingston City Council meeting last night. The Lib-Dem’s, as they are called here, are in control of the Council in Kingston.
We’ll be meeting up with Councilor Reid and Roy Taylor later at Parliament this week.
For now, got to catch a train.
Ta.
