Kingston Police say Queen’s University students have shown a trend in “reckless behaviour” as the university year gets underway.
Acting Chief of Kingston Police Scott Fraser says they also showed a “lack of respect” toward the community during the past weekend.
Police say parties held during that time created a “hostile environment for by-law enforcement and other community partners.”
They issued a number of fines involving underage drinking and nuisance parties.

- Friday Sept. 1 – one Nuisance Party Declaration, 20 x $200 Amplified Sound Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs)
