Kingston Police and Queen’s Alma Mater Society asking students to stay off the streets

September 1, 2017

KINGSTON, ON – The Alma Mater Society of Queen’s University (AMS) and Kingston Police are working collaboratively to ensure the safety of students and residents in and around the University District on Queen’s move-in day: Sunday, September 3, 2017.

In recent years, unsanctioned street parties on University Avenue in the evening following move-in day have been a cause of growing concern. In some incidents, Kingston Police have been required to close down streets for the safety of students partying on the roadway. These closures, however, create a serious health and safety concern by impeding the deliverance of Ambulance, Fire, and Police services to residents, as well as blocking or delaying hospital routes. University Avenue is a key ambulance route, as it connects major west-east roadways with Kingston General Hospital. With the ongoing construction on nearby roads in the University District, it is imperative that University Avenue is kept clear. If and when emergency situations originating in any part of the city arise on Sunday night, the elapsed time it will take for ambulances to make detours as a result of any potential street party may have serious consequences for patients being transported in critical condition.

The AMS and Kingston Police are urging students, on compassionate grounds, to keep major roads in the University District clear. Students are encouraged to enjoy the night by congregating within reason on their front lawns, backyards, or in their houses, but not to block streets and sidewalks in the process. We want the entire community to be aware of this safety concern, as we are hopeful that no student would intentionally act in a way that would potentially endanger the lives of others.

Kingston Police will be present on University Avenue and throughout the University District. Fines will be issued to anyone blocking roads and sidewalks, carrying open liquor, displaying public intoxication, underage drinking, or providing alcohol to people who are underage. Consistent with past years, police will be laying charges on individuals and groups who defy orders to shut down any parties. The AMS wishes to make students aware of this reality in order to minimize the number of fines issued.

It is important to remember that students are part of the larger Kingston community. Queen’s University must always weigh the community impact of student behaviour when planning its events. After the move-in night street party in 2015, Principal Daniel Woolf had to consider the cancellation of Homecoming in that year. It is crucial that the actions of students today do not endanger the future enjoyment of programming by students and residents alike.

Students are encouraged to enjoy their return to Queen’s and the Kingston community in a considerate and thoughtful way. Please, have a safe night, and stay off the streets.

Sincerely,

The Alma Mater Society

The Kingston Police
