On Tuesday night, Kingston city council will discuss the possibility of adopting a new slogan.

Global News asked Kingstonians what they think of the brand campaign slogan.

The Workforce Brand Development Working Group is set to advise the city in nine months on whether adopting the “Possible made here” campaign is a good choice for Kingston.
