Growing up in Hamilton and talking to people who weren’t from Hamilton went something like this:

“You’re from Hamilton? Steel town eh, isn’t the pollution really bad there?”

Even if you lived in Hamilton, the downtown and especially the east side were places that you didn’t want to find yourself alone at the wrong time of day. While I am not encouraging you to go downtown flashing your cell phone around on King street at 1 am , I AM saying that times have changed.

Hamilton is no longer just “Steel Town”. It is home to writers, artists, musicians,  a growing medical community , scientists, and small business owners all of which have changed Hamilton’s identity.

The Royal Botanical Garden Ontario in Hamilton is the largest botanical garden in CANADA

Hamilton is the waterfall capital of the WORLD

Art Crawl is “cultural revitalization” for the Hamilton core. What started out as a few local artist wanting to stay open later every second Friday of the month has turned into a 10 year social movement that has reshaped the image of Hamilton

Hamilton is a health conscious, artistic paradise full of opportunity for small business owners. The Float Lodge is Hamilton’s first and only float centre. It will allow Hamiltonian’s and its surrounding area to experience sensory deprivation through 2 float tanks and 2 float cabins. I want floating to become as common as going to the gym and the Float Lodge to become as iconic as the Bean Bar. The Float Lodge is part of the Hamilton Ambitious City
