๐Ÿšจ KINGSTON, ITโ€™S GO TIME ๐Ÿšจ

The Spire is competing in the Next Great Save โ€” and voting starts TODAY (April 7).

If we win, we take a massive step forward:
โœ… Modern, energy-efficient heating + cooling
โœ… A sustainable future for this 174-year-old landmark
โœ… Keeping our doors open for everyone who relies on this space

But hereโ€™s the realityโ€ฆ
Our current system is failing. This winter was a warning โ€” not a one-off.
And if it fails again, it puts everything at risk.

๐Ÿ’› The programs
๐ŸŽถ The concerts
๐Ÿซถ The community groups
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ The food programs
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ The families, youth, seniors, and support networks

This isnโ€™t just about a building.
This is about protecting a space thousands of people depend on every year.

๐Ÿ”ฅ HEREโ€™S HOW YOU CAN HELP (itโ€™s easy):
๐Ÿ‘‰ Vote once per day (yes โ€” every day!)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Takes less than 10 seconds
๐Ÿ‘‰ Share it with everyone you know

๐Ÿ”— VOTE HERE:
https://nextgreatsave.us.launchpad6.com/NextGreatSave2026/the-spire

Letโ€™s be honest โ€” Kingston shows up.
Weโ€™ve done it before, and we can do it again.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Letโ€™s rally.
๐Ÿ’ฅ Letโ€™s outvote the rest of Canada.
๐Ÿ’ฅ Letโ€™s save The Spire.

Because at the end of the dayโ€ฆ
this isnโ€™t just about The Spire โ€” itโ€™s about OUR city. Heat the Heart of Kingston. โค๏ธ
