Kiely,

You better do a little research about philanthropy in this city. Over the last ten years hundreds of millions of dollars have been given to different projects in this city by a number of people who have made their fortunes here. Names like Juravinski, Braley, DeGroote, Joyce and the late Morgan Firestone have made huge contributions.

Those donations have turned Hamilton into an important medical and medical research hub. If not for their contributions we would be in even worse shape than we are in now.

We have never had a problem raising money for public projects in this city. Many of our public parks are on lands donated by individuals. Hamilton Place was built with money raised through public telethons and other community fund raising.
