The story of a Kingston man learning the truth about his ancestors will be the subject of a U.S.-based reality television show episode tonight.

David Dossett will appear in the show “The Generations Project”, after discovering in 2009, that his family were originally from Jamaica, not Scotland and were of Hebrew faith, not Protestant.

Dossett says the producers from “The Generations Project” came to Kingston last September to film the story and it was in Toronto that more facts about his family were revealed. Dossett then went to Kingston, Jamaica where he learned even more truths about his ancestors.

The episode will air at 10:30 tonight on BYUTV, but can also be seen for free online at byutv.org/generationsprojects.

Police are reminding people to check the ice before traveling onto it and to wear a floatation suit.

The company revealed the news to its workers on Wednesday, which would allow U.S. retailer Target to begin renovations at the site this fall.

Target meantime, plans to have its new store open at Cataraqui Centre in the summer of 2013.

The Kingston store is expected to employ between 150 to 200 people.

Members of Occupy Kingston will have a few options when it comes to using a public space for meetings in the near future.

A staff information report going to the Arts, Recreation and Community Policies Committee tonight, says there are rooms currently available at the Invista Centre, Artillery Park and the Memorial Centre.

Staff reveal that the York Street site may not be a good option as it isn’t “move-in ready”–the space needs to be renovated, and that could cost the city about $5,000. Proposed improvements include painting, carpeting and phone lines.

Neither of the available spaces have been secured for Occupy Kingston, nor are they being exclusively held for the non-for-profit group.

No decision will be made tonight on the issue, as city staff plan to wait for councillors to make a recommendation.

The ARC committee will also discuss therevitalization of Doug Fluhrer Park tonight.

A motion on the agenda recommends staff gauge residents on the issue, asking the public to share their vision on what improvements should be made to the waterfront park.

Staff are also being advised to consult with local businesses and organizations, such as Cycle Kingston, the Downtown BIA and Friends of Kingston Inner Harbour, on the proposed plan.
