Cricket was once the
most popular sport in Canada until the early 20th Century before it was
overtaken by hockey. Cricket was so popular it was declared the national sport
by Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada, as we can witness
the Cricket field in Kingston, Ontario, Canada since that time.

I was just looking at the screen and realized how much steam this is picking up which honestly feels a bit surreal because a few weeks ago it was just me thinking about Sir John A. Macdonald and cold morning cricket matches. It is wild seeing so many people actually wanting to bring this back to Kingston because I honestly thought I was the only one still thinking about those old pitches. I am still processing the momentum but just know that this is starting to feel very real now.

As president of the Pakistan Canada Association of Kingston, I would strongly reccommend adding a proper cricket facility in our Kingston community. Cricket is a big part of the suncontinent games as hockey is for Canada. This will help promote physical activities for our diversified youth which is a hallmark of Canadian society as well.
If there are fields for other community sports, there should be one for Cricket too.
Increasing the participation of various physical activities such as Cricket helps promote healthy living
We need to bring Cricket back to Kingston for all current and future residents!
we need cricket ground in kingston.
This facility will keep youth away from drugs and crimes.
We need a cricket ground in Kingston.
