The Kingston Ice Yacht Club was established in November 1895 and located at the foot of Simcoe Street, where space was rented from a local boat builder for anchorage and a clubhouse. The club started with thirty members and a fleet of twenty-three sloops and lateens. A series of club regattas were held during the first season, and in March an international ice regatta. By the end of the first season, the club had over one hundred members.

Many of the ice yachtsmen also participated in summer yachting. In April 1896, sixty-one of the one hundred and eight men met at the Hotel Frontenac to organize “a club devoted to the encouragement of aquatic sports.” James Wilson was Chair and Frank Strange was elected Commodore of the new Kingston Yacht Club. The Club Executive leased part of Anne Cameron’s property, at the foot of Maitland Street. Ann Cameron was the widow of Angus Cameron, who had been actively associated with yachting in Kingston since the 1840s. Joseph Power submitted plans for the clubhouse.

When the club was established, the Kingston Yacht Club Association was also formed. The Yacht Club met in its new clubhouse for the first time in August 1896. The clubhouse was remodelled in 1906 by H.P. Smith, and new club house was completed in 1936 by Colin Drever of Power Son & Drever.

Many social and recreational events have been hosted by the Kingston Yacht Club, including dances, picnics and local, national and international regattas.

Gary Wilson (born 1946 in Timmins, Ontario) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a New Democratic Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1990 to 1995.

Wilson received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Laurentian University in 1969. Prior to entering politics, he worked as a library technician at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, was an executive member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 1302, and served as leader of the Kingston and District Labour Council. He also hosted a local television program, "Labour's Voice in the Community". Wilson first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, but finished about 6,500 votes behind Liberal incumbent Ken Keyes in the constituency of Kingston and the Islands.

The NDP won an unexpected majority government in the 1990 provincial election, and Wilson defeated Keyes by 2,092 votes in a rematch from 1987. He did not serve in the cabinet of Bob Rae, but was a parliamentary assistant to several ministers during his time in office.

The NDP were defeated in the 1995 provincial election, and Wilson finished third in a close three-way race against Progressive Conservative Sally Barnes and the winner, Liberal John Gerretsen. He later ran for the Canadian House of Commons as a candidate of the federal New Democratic Party in the elections of 1997 and 2000, but finished fourth on both occasions.

Wilson returned to his position as library technician following his defeat. He currently works at the Lederman Law Library at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and has served as chair of the CUPE Local 1302.
