The Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre will be getting a new roof beginning in March. Work is expected to be completed by mid-August.

Work on the new roof is expected to begin on March 20, with construction taking place daily, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., through to the beginning of May.

Tarring of the roof will follow in mid-June and is expected to take roughly two months to complete. Nearby residents are likely to notice a tar odour at times throughout this period. It will likely persist for a few days after the work is complete.

The Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre is located at 421 Union St., in Kingston. It includes 15 conference rooms and meeting spaces, and 80 hotel rooms and professional hospitality services.
