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

Kingston’s current slogan is, “Where history and innovation thrive.” Now, the city is considering adding a new slogan: “Possible made here.”

Editor’s note: “Possible made here” was proposed as part of a new, separate  brand campaign from “Where history and innovation thrive,” and not as its replacement.

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

“I don’t really think it fits in with the city, because to be honest, getting anything done in the city is quite impossible,” said one resident, Lauren.

“I’m hoping they give it a good vetting and see if people really understand what they’re trying to get across,” added Ted, another Kingston resident.

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.
