As thousands of runners neared the finish line on Sunday's Around the Bay Road Race, they were greeted with cheers, music, noisemakers and dancing — and at least one cheeky sign.
"Don't trust a fart after this point," warned Maya George's hand-drawn block letters.
She was among hundreds or more packing the sides of east-end streets in Hamilton, close to where the annual race had its new finish line location at Tim Hortons Field.
Mar 22 EWE: Canada — In #HamOnt, 98-year-old arrested for trespass in RBC Dundas bank along with three other courageous elders to stop RBC, one of the dirtiest, most crime-ridden banks in the world, from committing more environmental crimes. https://twitter.com/Mivasair/status/1771376313414341003#ClimateActivism
This is so cool. An overwhelming "yes" vote from McMaster students to add a small bike share fee to their tuition, and it becomes the largest source of funding for the system. The kids are alright!!
The city claims to have no resources to offer mobility for people with special needs, but it does have plenty of money for policing.
The distribution of tax dollars in Hamilton in 2023 assigned 25% more to policing than what it gave to roads AND HSR combined.
If you want to know what an organization really values, look at its budget. It is not the "clients" with special needs. Use of the word "clients" already speaks volumes.
Three arrests in Hamilton (#HamOnt) this weekend in relation to a Palestine solidarity action at L3 Harris, an arms manufacturer. In classic Hamilton style, the action happened back in November and the arrests just happened this weekend.
One person is out and two are being held for bail. Charges are mischief and masked with intent.
Remember, solidarity involves stepping towards those targeted and not away from criminalized acts. Let's stay solid and keep fighting.
Boost please to help the people in Canada who need to see it see it!
Lovely restoration of one of the oldest and most intact commercial buildings in Hamilton, by some estimates dating back to the 1820s. It’s now in its second century as a still-active watch-menders shop. And look at the details! Tin ceiling. Century-old storefront windows. Tiled threshold. #heritage#architecture#city#hamont
"Dylan Isaacs, 30, was from Six Nations of the Grand River near Hamilton. He was leaving the stadium with his friends late Sunday night when he reportedly encountered a person driving erratically and striking a pedestrian, Miami Gardens police said in a statement."
Today I saw someone biking down Plains Rd in Burlington on a fully lit-up bike, wearing a Santa suit, and pulling a lit Christmas tree in a trailer. So epic. Anyone know who it is? #HamOnt#BikeTooter
Was pleased to acquire these 5 items for $6.81 at a local #HamOnt Asian supermarket today. Great to avoid the ripoff grocery giants when possible. Pictured: giant carrot, broccoli, green onions, jar of chilli garlic sauce, and package of tofu. #canada
It's halfway through November and we haven't had a hard frost yet. Daytime highs are in the high teens. All my pepper plants are still alive, kale is still producing, various tender herbs are scraping by. Exceptionally mild.
Hiking is a popular fall activity in and around Hamilton and Niagara, but many hikers may be unaware of the work that goes into designing and maintaining their favourite paths.
Even the rugged Bruce, which stretches along the escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, Ont., receives regular touch ups.
