Hamilton Grand

On Saturday, April 11th, we (Harry and partners) will be making a surprise announcement regarding the Hamilton Grand hotel/condo project. We'd like to invite you. The event will be at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (lunch included).

Of course, if I say much more, it won't be a surprise; let's just say the difference is significant and very real.

Please let me know if you can make it.


I'm not sure if this is open to the Public. The invite went viral. RSVP to Harry's email.

Cyclists to City Hall

  • Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2009
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: Hamilton Convention Centre
  • Address: 1 Summers Lane (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Randy Kay
  • Email: tlchamilton@gmail.com

CYCLISTS! ACT NOW TO ENSURE HAMILTON'S CYCLING FUTURE! Contact Your City Councillor

If you cycle, or know someone who does, we need you to let your local politician know that you support an integrated cycling network of bike lanes and paths.

Council will be voting on how much they will fund the Shifting Gears Cycling Plan Wednesday, June 24, 2009!

7pm, Hamilton Convention Centre, 1 Summers Lane

If cyclists attend one city council meeting, this is the one! Come out and bring your friends!

A full list of councillors, contact info and ward boundaries can be found here:

http://www.myhamilton.ca/myhamilton/CityandGovernment/YourElectedOfficials/CityCouncillors/

The best case scenario: City councillors approve $2.5 million in funding each year , which would see the urban cycling network completed in 10 years and the rural web of bike paths completed in 20 years

AGAINST: "Councillor Tom Jackson frequently hears from residents who want more recreational trails. He's not sure if those same people want to bike to work on city streets. 'I'm not detecting a huge clamouring for commuter lanes. '"

Flamborough's Councillor "Margaret McCarthy is sceptical additional bike lanes would be well used given the escarpment, weather, transit improvements and heavy traffic. 'It seems to me an unsafe practice, ' she said. 'For my money, this wouldn't go forward. '"

Terry Whitehead: "Convince me that investing over fifty million dollars on a seasonal activity would be better than making this investment into public transit."

FOR: Councillor Bob Bratina "If you've been to Europe and seen it, you believe it," he said. "We need to evolve a little more."

HOW?: "The key to achieving high levels of cycling appears to be the provision of separate cycling facilities along heavily travelled roads and at intersections, combined with traffic calming of most residential neighbourhoods. Extensive cycling rights of way...are complemented by ample bike parking, full integration with public transport, comprehensive traffic education and training of both cyclists and motorists, and a wide range of promotional events intended to generate enthusiasm and wide public support for cycling." - from Making Cycling Irresistible: Lessons from The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany by JOHN PUCHER and RALPH BUEHLER

COMPARE: Annual Cost of Operating the Red Hill Parkway (8km total): $2.65 million Annual Cost to Implement the Cycling Plan over 20 years : $2.5 million for a total of 566km of bike lanes

Tell Me Another (at the Hamilton Fringe)

A beautiful and chilling show" -- Raise the Hammer reviewer Amanda Nesbitt

"Something here for everyone; especially aficionados of the creepy." -- Ontario Arts Review's Danny Gaisin.

A trilogy of unsettling fables. Eschewing dialogue for dance, Red sheds new light and scads of blood on a beloved girl-meets-wolf story. The Juniper Tree, a sadly-overlooked Grimm's fable of cannibalism and payback, is presented as a Depression-era ballad. In the puppet story Fox and Girl, a modern father's imagination mashes centuries of fairytale symbols.

Tell Me Another (Hamilton Fringe show)

A beautiful and chilling show" -- Raise the Hammer reviewer Amanda Nesbitt

"Something here for everyone; especially aficionados of the creepy." -- Ontario Arts Review's Danny Gaisin.

A trilogy of unsettling fables. Eschewing dialogue for dance, Red sheds new light and scads of blood on a beloved girl-meets-wolf story. The Juniper Tree, a sadly-overlooked Grimm's fable of cannibalism and payback, is presented as a Depression-era ballad. In the puppet story Fox and Girl, a modern father's imagination mashes centuries of fairytale symbols.

Sons of Sisyphus

  • Date: Friday, July 24, 2009
  • Time: 10:30
  • Location: Hamilton Theatre Inc.
  • Address: 140 MacNab St. North, Hamilton (Google Maps)

Sisyphus pushed the boulder. The sons share their father's corrupt nature, and are lifers in a maximum-security prison. Roy, or Beast, is in the jungle and in the jungle you feed on your prey and instill fear wherever you roam. Bunny's real name is Boris, but Boris doesn't really suit him given his girlish appearance and mannerisms. His parents and the Church failed him and now he has to pay for his sins. Gerald loves God so much that, like Abraham, he's taken a ride down Highway 61. "Where do you want this killin done? Down on Highway 61". Henry almost made it through life without having to live with his brothers. But then one hot summer night, his brain burning like gunpowder, he finds his hands covered with blood.

Trash On Wheels Film Party - Classroom 16mm!

Trash Palace - "Toronto's Classiest Cinema" - is proud to present THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY - a back-to-school touring show of classroom films, cartoons and more from the files of Canada's most demented film fanatics!

Hosted by Trash Palace programmer Jonathan Culp, TRASH ON WHEELS brings a full evening of lost, forgotten and undiscovered gems from the celluloid dumpsters of our nation to your town. Armed with their trusty 16mm film projector, a trunkload of film reels from the 60s and 70s, cold drinks, and a fully stocked snack bar (including handmade vegan truffles from Boardwalk Chocolates!) Trash Palace will give you a taste of the madness that we've been dishing out at our home base for over two years.

With a constantly changing lineup of titles - partially selected by the audience via the "Trash Palace Applause-O-Meter" - every screening is a whole new ballgame. Will you see angry puppets smacking around their friends? Evil dancing cigarettes? Washed up pop stars ranting about LSD? Christian college students partying with the Virgin Mary? Animated sex ed lessons? Or masked headmasters wielding lawnmowers?

This is no stinkin' film festival - it's THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY!

TRASH PALACE, named "the 11th best place to watch a film in Toronto" by BlogTO, shows shorts and features every Friday at their secret location. The Toronto Star writes, "It lives up to its seamy potential...the fun is pure, untainted by cynicism, high expectations or irony." And the National Post observes, "Trash Palace's screenings promise the best in films that somebody out there was desperate to get rid of." Check them out at http://www.trashpalace.ca.

Melrose Movie Nights: Blue Gold

Please join us for the first film of the 2009-2010 season. Our schedule for the entire 2009-2010 season is posted on our website.

********************************** Blue Gold: World Water Wars (Sam Bozzo, 2008)

Friday, October 2, 2009 at 7:00pm.

Melrose United Church Locke St. & Homewood Ave. **********************************

In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an expedential level as population and technology grows. The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, resulting in the desertification of the earth.

Corporate giants force developing countries to privatize their water supply for profit. Wall Street investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes. Corrupt governments use water for economic and political gain. Military control of water emerges and a new geo-political map and power structure forms, setting the stage for world water wars.

SuperCrawl

The arts and cultural scene has been exploding in Hamilton. Whether you love theatre or dance, music or visual art, modern or classical, the scene has come alive. One key event which has drawn great media attention and thousands of participants is the James North Art Crawl.

Art Crawl is monthly event held on the first second Friday of each month. Dozens of galleries and studios launch new exhibitions, musicians perform in the street, local artist sell their wares, the Art Bus delivers visitors from far and wide - and hundreds of people fill the sidewalks as they weave through the event.

This year, in celebration of the collective success of this bourgeoning neighbourhood James Street North is hosting SUPER CRAWL.

What is SUPER CRAWL?

Imagine Art Crawl something else on a half dozen energy drinks.

First, we've received permission to close down James Street between Cannon and Wilson - this will allow throngs of people to fill the streets and freely enjoy the area.

It also means we have the ability to bring in a flat bed truck equipped to present an incredible music show coordinated by Sonic Unyon, CFMU, C101.5, and numerous other local musicians of every variety.

Add local artists and organizations sharing info and selling work, unique food offerings from area restaurants, a food drive by Hamilton Food Share and plenty of spontaneous activity - and you've got SUPERCRAWL.

To keep up to date on the latest Supercrawl news and information, visit www.supercrawl.ca, become a fan of the Supercrawl facebook group, or follow along on Twitter.

LIVE at THE FREEWAY

  • Date: Friday, October 09, 2009
  • Time: Doors open at 8:30
  • Location: The Freeway Cafe
  • Address: 333 King Street East (Google Maps)

LIVE AT THE FREEWAY

The music of h o b s o n ' s c h o i c e falls somewhere between alt-folk and chamber-jazz. Using the idiosyncratic line-up of vibraphone, trumpet, voice and acoustic guitar, this indie-folk quartet creates songs sometimes rich in their words and melody, other times in their colour and architecture. Engaging issues as diverse as climate change, love, millenial malaise, and urban sprawl, the group extends the tradition of folk songwriting through the careful construction of intricate arrangements. The result is a sound that eschews the obvious and consistently surprises.

K O R I P O P in a nutshell - a guitar, an alluring voice and serious songwriting.

also on the bill C h a d E v e r e t t-B r o w n

COVER is $5, please come and support live music in Hamilton

Melrose Movie Night: Maxed Out

  • Date: Friday, December 04, 2009
  • Time: 7PM
  • Location: Melrose United Church
  • Address: Homewood Ave and Locke St. (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Church Office
  • Email: melrose@melroseunited.ca

Please join us for a timely showing of this interesting and acclaimed documentary (made pre-global economic crisis!), which will serve as a cautionary tale to us all as we enter the Christmas season. All are welcome and invited to participate in a post-movie discussion with Spectator columnists Meredith MacLeod and Lisa Grace Marr.

********************************** Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (James Spurlock, 2006, 90 min.)

Friday, December 4, 2009 at 7:00pm. Melrose United Church Locke St. & Homewood Ave.

Suggested Donation $5 (Includes Complementary Fair-Trade Coffee) Supervised Children’s Movie: ages 3-12, $1 per child **********************************

Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us.

We are especially proud and pleased to announce that we will be joined for a post-movie discussion by Hamilton Spectator columnists Meredith MacLeod and Lisa Grace Marr -- writers of the "The Way We Spend" 13-week multimedia series. In part, the series has followed the financial makeover of four families with the help of local financial experts. During the discussion they will share some of their experiences and personal insights made in producing the series.

Bring your friends, neighbours and family for what promises to be an interesting evening, with a thought-provoking film and insightful discussion to follow.

"No Prorogue" Rally in Hamilton

  • Date: Saturday, January 23, 2010
  • Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Location: Gore Park
  • Address: Corner of King and James, Hamilton ON (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War
  • Email: hcsw@cogeco.ca

The Harper government has tried to prorogue Parliament in an effort to stop the inquiry into the Canadian involvement in torture in Afghanistan, as well as to distract Canadians with the spectacle of an increasingly-militarized Olympics.

Harper's recent actions mirror the efforts by his ministers to suppress free speech and discussion in Canada, including the banning of U.K. M.P. George Galloway from Canada, the cutting of funding to the Canadian Arab Federation, the defunding of any organizations that are perceived to disagree with the government's extreme positions, and the attempts to introduce new laws to further define what kind of speech is "acceptable."

Canadians won't stand for this, and we aren't! It's time to stop Harper from telling us what our Canadian values are. There will be a sizable demonstration of people in Hamilton from all walks of life who are fed up with Harper turning Canada into a Bush-style, fenced-in "free speech zone," while destroying its international reputation, and you are invited to make it happen.

Workers Without Bosses - Argentinian Speaking Tour

  • Date: Monday, January 25, 2010
  • Time: 7 pm
  • Location: Skydragon Centre
  • Address: 27 King William St. (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Common Cause Anarchist Organization
  • Email: commoncause@gmail.com

The response of the popular classes to the Argentine economic crisis of December 2001 and lessons for us in Canada - a Québec and Ontario speaking tour presented by the Union Communiste Libertaire (UCL) and Common Cause.

We are going through one of the worst economic crises in the history of capitalism and the answers provided by the state and its lackeys are illusory. In addition, faced with this impasse, our leaders are trying to shift the entire burden of the crisis to workers and their communities.

How can we respond differently to this economic crisis? Can we learn from the experiences of struggles that have happened elsewhere in the world?

To consider these issues, the UCL and Common Cause are organizing a Québec and Ontario speaking tour this winter on the response of the Argentine popular classes in the face of a serious economic crisis that shook the country in the late 2001.

From 18 January to 12 February, a militant from the anarchist organization Red Libertaria (Argentina) will travel to different cities in Quebec and Ontario to talk about this subject. He will discuss different forms of resistance developed by the Argentine people to counter the effects of the crisis such as retaking factories and creating self-managed cooperatives. He will also discuss the involvement of anarchists in these different struggles.

Strategies for Action and Resistance with author and activist Aric McBay

"Industrial civilization is incompatible with life. It is systematically destroying life on this planet, undercutting its very basis. This culture is, to put it bluntly, murdering the earth. Unless it’s stopped—whether we intentionally stop it or the natural world does, through ecological collapse or other means—it will kill every living being. We need to stop it." -preface to What We Leave Behind

Aric McBay (writer, activist, and small-scale organic farmer) argues that activists need to think and organize like a resistance movement. McBay explains how greenwashing derails effective action, and why industrial civilization is doomed (and why that's not a bad thing). He shares crucial strategic lessons that today's activists can learn from resistance movements of the past.

Join us for a discussion with Aric McBay, co-author of the recent "What We Leave Behind" with Derrick Jensen. All are welcome, free event.

FREE CPR/AED training for Ward 1 Residents

What: CPR/AED Training by Hamilton Emergency Services-EMS Date: Monday, February 1, 2010 Time: 6:30 to 8:30 pm Location: Melrose United Church, 86 Homewood Ave. at Locke, Hamilton

Ward 1 residents are invited to a FREE public training clinic for Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillators (AED's), to be presented by Hamilton Emergency Services - EMS with the generous support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

CPR can be a vital link in saving the life of a loved one in cardiac arrest and anyone can learn it. The first 65 families who register will receive a free CPR AnytimeTM Family & FriendsTM kit (one kit per family, valued at $35) to take home and share with their families. These kits have been donated by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and will be limited to one per family. Participants will also receive a CPR participation card upon completing the training.

In addition to becoming familiar with CPR, participants will also learn how to use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). These defibrillators are the ones that you will have seen in many public buildings as part of the Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) program and they may also be a life-saver if used on someone in cardiac arrest.

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 40,000 people in Canada experience cardiac arrest each year, the majority of which occur either at home or in public places. For every minute that passes without help, a person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops by seven to 10%. Learning CPR is easy and inexpensive and it could mean saving the life of a friend or family member. When CPR is combined with the prompt use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), the chance for survival can go up to 50% or more.

“The Heart and Stroke Foundation urges all Canadians to learn CPR. The more people trained, the greater the chance of keeping those that have suffered cardiac arrest alive until an ambulance arrives,” says Sue Turner, Community Mission Specialist, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. “You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life.”

“We hope as many people as possible can come out for this free CPR training clinic,” says Brent Browett, Deputy Chief/Director – EMS “Statistics indicate, and I know from my own experience on the job, that CPR and AEDs can make the difference between life and death. The more people in our community who have these life-saving skills, the more lives may be saved.”

The training session is limited to 65 families. Please RSVP by JANUARY 28, 2010 to Nikola at nikola.wojewoda-patti@hamilton.ca or 905-546-4528 and please include your name, address, phone number and email address.

Melrose Movie Night -- Man on Wire

                        Man on Wire

               (James Marsh, 2008, 94 min.)

              Friday, February 5, 2010 at 7:00pm.

                    Melrose United Church

On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between New York's twin towers, then the worlds tallest buildings. After nearly an hour dancing on the wire, he was arrested, taken for psychological evaluation, and brought to jail before he was finally released. Following six and a half years of dreaming of the towers, Petit spent eight months in New York City planning the execution of the coup. Aided by a team of friends and accomplices, Petit was faced with numerous extraordinary challenges: he had to find a way to bypass the WTCs security; smuggle the heavy steel cable and rigging equipment into the towers; pass the wire between the two rooftops; anchor the wire and tension it to withstand the winds and the swaying of the buildings. The rigging was done by night in complete secrecy. At 7:15 AM, Philippe took his first step on the high wire 1,350 feet above the sidewalks of Manhattan.

James Marshs documentary brings Petits extraordinary adventure to life through the testimony of Philippe himself, and some of the co-conspirators who helped him create the unique and magnificent spectacle that became known as the artistic crime of the century.

Man on Wire won the 2009 Oscar for Best Documentary.

TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF KNITTING

  • Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010
  • Time: 2-5 p.m.
  • Location: Yoga With Ona's
  • Address: 74 Locke St. North (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Carol Duran
  • Email: cduran123456@gmail.com

TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF KNITTING

  • Do you want to knit but don't know how?
  • OK, you've knitted scarves for everyone in your family (including the dog) and want something a bit more challenging
  • Do you find pattern instructions and yarn selection daunting?
  • Do you want an excuse to sit in a comfy chair without moving for several hours at a time?

You are invited to a knitting workshop on Sunday, February 21st from 2 to 5 p.m. at Yoga With Ona's (74 Locke St N). Cost is $2.

Knitters at any level and non-knitters are all welcome. Non-knitters can learn how to cast on, the basic knit and purl stitches, and cast off. All participants can learn to:

  • read patterns (written and charts);
  • match the yarn to the pattern;
  • estimate the amount of yarn needed;
  • know the different properties of various fibres;
  • finish sweaters, assembly, etc.

More advanced knitters may wish to explore cable knitting (Aran), Fair Isle (multi-colour horizontal stripes) and intarsia (colour blocks).

I have knitted for many years. I am not an expert knitter but pretty competent. There will be lots of different yarns available for looking at, squeezing and learning about different fibres, and several examples of knitted items.

The only materials you need are a pair of straight knitting needles (I suggest between 4 mm and 5 mm) and a ball of light coloured plain smooth (untextured) knitting yarn (so that you can see the stitches clearly). The yarn can be wool or acrylic - just something that feels nice to you. Zellers carries a good range, and Harts also has a basic supply. If you have a project on the go, please feel free to bring it along.

If anyone has a particular topic they would like covered, please email me at cduran123456@gmail.com. Hope to see you on the 21st.

Screening - Geologic Journey: The Great Lakes

  • Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010
  • Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
  • Location: Sky Dragon Cooperative
  • Address: 27 King William Street (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Robert Porter
  • Email: info@peacecafe.ca

Join us for a screening of Geologic Journey: The Great Lakes!

This film tells the story of the dramatic changes in the geologic history and landscape of this region, which has only recently taken the form of the five, great, interconnected lakes. In this episode audiences are shown the roots of a long vanished mountain range that once rivalled the Himalayas, explore the remains of a tropical salt-water sea, and trace the story of a sudden massive flood that drowned vast areas of land. From moraines, to tarn lakes, to the majestic Niagara Falls, the topography and geology of the Great Lakes region is unparalleled, strikingly beautiful and a place of wild contrasts.

It is truly “a wild, rocky place whose grandeur and mystery drew men to commune with the spirit of the sea…a place where man is and forever will be only a visitor.”

Refreshments will be available for purchase at the cafe.

Hamilton's Last Call: A look at urban renewal and and its impact on the poor

City revitalization efforts can often pose challenging issues for individuals in terms of finding and maintaining adequate housing. In response to the more recent examples of renewal efforts within the city, the Roomers and Borders Committee of Hamilton is hosting a night of film and discussion to look at what can happen when rooming houses become the territory over which tenants and developers compete for use of space.

The night will feature the screening of Last Call at the Gladstone Hotel, a documentary by Derreck Roemer and Neil Graham which follows the restoration of the building from “flophouse to hotspot”, and subsequent displacement of tenants following that transition.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion of rooming house tenants, community legal clinic lawyers, researchers on housing and homelessness, and the Rooming House Co-Ordinator of Hamilton to evaluate how these trends are taking shape in Hamilton.

Free! Everyone is welcome to attend.

Hosted by the Roomers and Boarders Committee of Hamilton.

CPR/AED Training for Ward 1 Residents

What: CPR/AED Training by Hamilton Emergency Services-EMS Date: Monday, March 8, 2010 Time: 6:30 to 8:30 pm Location: Melrose United Church, 86 Homewood Ave. at Locke, Hamilton

As a result of the overwhelming demand for this CPR/AED training session in Ward 1, Hamilton Emergency Services has kindly offered to do a second training session on March 8, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.

The people on the waiting list have been contacted and there are currently an additional 20 spots available.

If you are interested in attending, RSVP by MARCH 4, 2010 to Nikola at nikola.wojewoda-patti@hamilton.ca or 905-546-4528. Please include your name, address, phone number and email address and the number of people in your family.

CPR can be a vital link in saving the life of a loved one in cardiac arrest and anyone can learn it. In addition to becoming familiar with CPR, participants will also learn how to use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). These defibrillators are the ones that you will have seen in many public buildings as part of the Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) program and they may also be a life-saver if used on someone in cardiac arrest.

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 40,000 people in Canada experience cardiac arrest each year, the majority of which occur either at home or in public places. For every minute that passes without help, a person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops by seven to 10%. Learning CPR is easy and inexpensive and it could mean saving the life of a friend or family member. When CPR is combined with the prompt use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), the chance for survival can go up to 50% or more.

“The Heart and Stroke Foundation urges all Canadians to learn CPR. The more people trained, the greater the chance of keeping those that have suffered cardiac arrest alive until an ambulance arrives,” says Sue Turner, Community Mission Specialist, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. “You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life.”

Hamilton Arts Awards Public Consultation

  • Date: Monday, March 08, 2010
  • Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
  • Location: Auditorium, YWCA Hamilton - MacNab Branch
  • Address: 75 MacNab St S, Hamilton ON (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Bridget MacIntosh
  • Email: bridget.macintosh@hamilton.ca
  • Phone: 905-564-2424x. 4514

The City of Hamilton Culture Division and the Arts Advisory Commission invite you to a public consultation session to discuss the Hamilton Arts Awards.

The City of Hamilton Arts Awards are awarded to practicing artists in the Hamilton area in recognition of their significant contributions in a chosen discipline.

The Arts Awards have been presented annually since 1976 and are organized by the Culture Division with the assistance of the Arts Advisory Commission, a City Council appointed volunteer committee, whose mandate, in part, is to select and recommend the annual winners of the Hamilton Arts Awards.

The Culture Division received Council approval in spring 2009 to suspend the 2009 City of Hamilton Arts Awards program and reallocate the funds to undertake an Arts Awards Program Review.

The arts community in the city has grown and changed significantly in the last decade and this review will ensure that the Arts Awards are effective in promoting the arts and achievements of local artists. The Culture Division is proposing to present a renewed City of Hamilton Arts Awards Program in fall 2010.

After an open call for consultants to work on this review, Jeremy Freiburger of the Imperial Cotton Centre for the Arts, will lead the evening and will provide an opportunity for all interested citizens to share their thoughts on improving the Hamilton Arts Awards.

If you are unable to attend the consultation, a downloadable short questionnaire is available on our website (click "City of Hamilton Arts Awards Review") so you can still provide us with your thoughts on this important event.

  • Does AEGD/Aerotropolis conform to established development strategies and principles?

Community meeting on Dofasco pollution emission levels

MINISTRY MEETING

THURSDAY, MAY 20TH, 2010 (this thursday)

6pm-9pm

ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION - EAST BRANCH 58

(1180 Barton Street East - Across from Center Mall)

This Communtiy meeting is where the Ministry of the Environment is set to unveil their plans to allow Dofasco to continue to emit cancer causing pollution into our air at levels higher that is permitted by law.

Our goals for the Meeting:

  • Ask the ministry direct questions as to why they will be granting this new standard to Dofasco given that the company failed to meet the standards within the current air quality reguation.

  • Show community support by presenting the postcards, letters, and drawings.

  • Show community concern by having residents share their stories and ask questions (Please note: everyone is welcome and encouraged to ask questions. That's one of the reasons that the Ministry is holding this meeting in the first place. If you have questions/concerns, we highly encourage you to speak up!)

  • Request to the Ministry in person that they take stronger measures to ensure that we have the cleanest and safest air possible. (The opportunity to make online comments to the Ministry will be explained at the meeting as well, and we will be sure to update everyone next week as to how this process works.)

Postcards Against the Excess of Cancer-Causing Emissions Deadline & Community meeting

Postcards Against the Excess of Cancer-Causing Emissions

ArcelorMittal-Dofasco, has recently acknowledged that they are unable to meet current standards set out in Regulation 419/05 (an air quality standard made by the Ministry of Environment to protect our community's health and environment) and proposed standards currently being considered for inclusion in the regulation. As such, they are currently applying for an "alternative standard", which will allow them to continue to emit certain pollutants at higher levels than the regulation permits. The alternative standard comes with a requirement for the company to implement an action plan to reduce their emissions. The action plan would see reductions in two key pollutants that we feel are not good enough. Cancer-causing benzo(a)pyrene, emitted from the company’s coke ovens, will only be reduced by 27% over five years and total suspended particulate matter will only be reduced by 4% under the action plan.

As a community, we feel we deserve the best air possible! Thus, the Hamilton Good Neighbour Campaign, which is an initiative of Environment Hamilton, has been asking individuals to sign postcards. These postcards provide a way for individuals, groups, and organizations across the city to send a strong message to Mr. Juergen Schachler, CEO of ArcelorMittal-Dofasco – the message that, when it comes to cancer-causing pollutants, a 27% reduction is not good enough!

To sign an online postcard, please visit: http://www.goodneighbourcampaign.ca/petition_hamilton The intent of these postcards is to present them to the company at a community meeting which is to be set-up by the Ministry of the Environment. Here, the Ministry will announce their decision as to whether or not to grant the alternative standard, and what it will entail if granted. The Ministry has given us word that the meeting will take place on Thursday, May 20th, 2010 (time and place TBD). Thus, save the date! We welcome and ask that everyone and anyone come to this meeting to show community support for stronger reductions!

To help relieve any intimidation or apprehension that may be had when attending a ministry meeting, the Good Neighbour Campaign will be holding 3 optional pre-meeting sessions. These sessions will provide a simplified and detailed explanation of the issue and answer any questions that may be had. They will aim to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that everyone feels ready and confident when attending the meeting. It will also be a time to work on any materials that are to be brought to the meeting.

Pre-Meeting Option 1: Thursday May 13th @ Labour Council (1130 Barton Street East, Second Floor) – 7:00pm

Pre-Meeting Option 2: Sunday May 16th @ Environment Hamilton Office (22 Wilson Street, Third Floor) – 2:00pm

Pre-Meeting Option 3: Monday May 17th @ Beach Rescue Unit (316 Beach Boulevard) – 7:30pm

MINISTRY’S COMMUNITY MEETING: THURSDAY MAY 20TH, 2010 (TIME/PLACE TBD) For more information concerning the meetings or the postcard campaign, please don’t hesitate to contact Katie Stiel at kstiel@environmenthamilton.org or 905-549-0900. Information can also be found at www.environmenthamilton.org

Andrea Horwath Dinner

  • Date: Saturday, June 05, 2010
  • Time: 6pm
  • Location: Steelworkers' Hall
  • Address: 1031 Barton Street East, Hamilton, Ontario (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Herb Shields
  • Email: herb.shields@gmail.com

(Hamilton-ON) – Ontario’s NDP leader, Andrea Horwath, will be one of many current and former NDP MPs and MPPs attending a dinner at the Steelworker’s Hall on June 5th. Several riding executives from the Hamilton-Niagara region are working together to host the event.

Doors open at 5pm and a buffet dinner is being served at 6. Guests will be treated to door prizes, silent auction, live auction and opportunities to have photos with Ms. Horwath. Tickets are 30 dollars and can be bought through local NDP riding associations (Hamilton Mountain; Hamilton Centre; Hamilton East-Stoney Creek; Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale; St. Catharines; Niagara Falls; Welland and; Niagara West-Glanbrook)

“This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow NDP supporters from right across this great region,” said Herb Shields, President of the ADFW provincial NDP riding association. “It has been heart-warming to see so many activists coming together from Niagara Falls to Flamborough to host this event.”

The Leader’s Dinner comes on the heels of some key regional economic and political changes the NDP are capitalizing on. The NDP have made significant gains by having six current MPs and MPPs coming from the Hamilton-Niagara region. The NDP have caught people’s attention in the region with their ideas on sustainable manufacturing and their opposition to the very unpopular HST tax grab. The NDP, by showing a united front across the region, are laying the groundwork to expand their seat count in upcoming provincial and federal elections.

For more information, please contact Herb Shields, President of the Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale Provincial NDP or e-mail herb.shields@gmail.com or visit http://www.ndpadfw.ca

HAMILTON RALLY AGAINST CUTS TO SOCIAL ASSISTANCE

STOP THE SPECIAL DIET CUT!

RAISE WELFARE / DISABILITY RATES NOW!

HAMILTON RALLY AGAINST CUTS TO SOCIAL ASSISTANCE

Thursday, June 17th

1pm Gore Park, Hamilton

On June 17th, we will rally in Hamilton against the Liberal Government's decision as part of their 2010 budget to CUT the Special Diet Allowance. The Special Diet Allowance is money that people on Welfare (OW) and Disability (ODSP) rely on in order to access healthy food and pay the rent. For hundreds of thousands in Ontario, the Special Diet is the only means left to try to survive on shamefully inadequate OW and ODSP rates.

In March, the Ontario Liberal Government, including local Hamilton-Mountain Liberal MPP Sophia Aggelonitis, put forth the most anti-poor budget since Harris in 1995. In cutting the Special Diet Allowance, the Liberals are only the third Government in Ontario's history to cut Social Assistance. It is a 200 million dollar cut to Social Assistance! This is a brutal move that will make hundreds of thousands of people hungry, sick, at risk of being evicted, or homeless.

In Hamilton this cut to Social Assistance will be devastating. Hamilton is a community that has faced huge job losses in this economic crisis and attacks on the Public Sector. Statistics estimate that 22% of Hamilton residents live below the Poverty Line, with official unemployment being well over 8%.

We are demanding that the Ontario Government reinstate the Special Diet immediately, and that they finally reverse the 1995 Harris cut by raising OW and ODSP rates at which people can live with health and dignity.

t'WestofTO Presents the First Annual Proud Hamilton Hunt Fundraiser

  • Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010
  • Time: Noon to 4 p.m. (Registration starts at 11a.m.)
  • Location: TBA
  • Contact: Janine
  • Email: proudhamilton@gmail.com

t’WestofTO is happy to announce the First Annual Proud Hamilton Hunt fundraiser! The fundraiser is in the form of an urban adventure that challenges the knowledge Hamiltonians have for their city. It consists of teams of two who solve clues about Hamilton, photograph themselves at the clue locations, and reach the finish line for a chance to win prizes provided by Hamilton businesses. It’s similar to the Amazing Race but without the challenges at each location. The first place team will receive two iPads that were generously donated by members of the Hamilton business community. Event details:

* Saturday, July 24, 2010
* Registration starts at 11:00am, the Hunt starts at noon, and prizes will be presented at 4 p.m.
* Start location TBA
* Tickets available at http://bit.ly/1stPHH

All proceeds will be donated to the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s Art Without Barriers Summer Camp. The camp program invites principals and/or teachers from high-needs neighbourhood schools to identify children who would most benefit from attending this special camp; the camp includes breakfast, lunch and snacks, a week of art-making with artist-educators, and a kit of art-making supplies to use at home. What can you do?

* Register for the event
* Tell your friends, family, neighbours, and coworkers, perhaps also make a blog post or tweet
* Donate to the AGH (on the registration page)
* Donate prizes or giveaways for the event (contact us)

Hope to see you at the Hunt!

WEST HARBOUR GARBAGE CRAWL

  • Date: Saturday, August 07, 2010
  • Time: 10 AM
  • Location: Former Rheem Factory at Caroline and Stuart
  • Contact: Matt Jelly
  • Email: info@mattjelly.com

We're caught up in quite a furious civic debate right now over the location of a Stadium. Regardless of what decision is made, we have a duty to start the long process of cleaning up the West Harbour. The Ministry of The Environment and the City can focus on the toxic sites- but as citizens, we can do our part to get rid of some of the litter and illegal dumping in the neighbourhood.

Please be safe- bring gloves, bags and a pair of durable shoes. Any children that come along should be under supervision by an adult.

The trash we collect will be deposited in a location close by for pickup by the City.

We'll also be making a collection of non-perishable food items for the Food Bank.

This Saturday, let's show the Ti-Cats what Hamiltonians are all about.

Rally for the West Harbour Stadium

  • Date: Saturday, August 07, 2010
  • Time: 3:30 pm
  • Location: Hess Village

Join us as we fight to bring the proposed Pan-Am Stadium to the West Harbour of DOWNTOWN Hamilton.

Rally begins at 3:30 on Tiger Cats Gameday, Saturday August 7th.

Special Guest Speakers including:

  • Mayor Fred Eisenberger

  • Councillor Bob Bratina

This is the best chance our generation is going to have to see the long neglected Waterfront, a hidden jewel of our city, finally be developed, and turned into a beautiful destination we can ALL enjoy !

The impact on the Waterfront, and the downtown, will be positive from both and economic, and quality of life perspective. The Waterfront site has the chance to be turned into one of the nicest civic waterfronts in North America, but it needs a Massive development plan, spurned on by a catalyst like the stadium project.

Currently a toxic mess left over from delapitated former industry has the waterfont area in a sad, even dangerous state. The waterfront will sit in this state for at least another generation without the MILLIONS of dollars needed to clean it up. Those millions should come from a PUBLICLY funded project like this.

Picture going to a Cats game, or perhaps an MLS game or even a festival at a stadium where you can enjoy the waterfront atmosphere before during and after the event! Let's draw people down to our waterfront, and our downtown.

If we drop the ball here, and don't seize this great opportunity, generations of Hamiltonians will lose out. A healthy downtown, with an exciting waterfront accessible for everyone, is a recipe for Civic prosperity. Ask the people of Pittsburgh (a former steeltown like Hamilton) how proud they are of their waterfront (and waterfront Stadium).

STAND UP HAMILTON... FIGHT FOR THE WEST HARBOUR LOCATION!!

SEE YOU AUGUST 7th in HESS VILLAGE!!!!!

Come out and join us in a show of support for a sustainable and economically viable stadium that will allow the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to stay in Hamilton.

This event will send a message to Cit...y Council that the citizens of Hamilton are displeased with the lack of transparency and vision that council has shown over the past year with regards to the Pan AM stadium issue and that we need a better vision now!

Crystal Palace 150th Anniversary Celebration

Happy 150th Birthday Crystal Palace!

Calling all Hamilton history buffs...and anyone who likes a good party!

Sunday September 19, 2010 2 to 5 p.m. Victoria Park (at King St. W. and Locke St. N., west of downtown).

On September 20, 1860, Hamilton's very own Crystal Palace was opened by Queen Victoria's son Edward. The palace was a beautiful but fragile structure of wood and glass, modelled after London, England's 1851 building of the same name. Hamilton's palace stood for a scant 30 years--but during its day it played host to tens of thousands of area residents. Now it is simply a memory, kept alive through photographs and storytelling...and a big 150th birthday party this September 19.

Join us for music, dancing, games and reminiscences of Victoria Park's beginnings. The event will be emceed by Hamilton historian Bill Manson with readings by Hamilton authors Murray Aikman and John Terpstra. Hear stories about the grand opening of the Provincial Agricultural Fair, an event that attracted not only Prince Edward, but approximately 50,000 others to the park that fall day 150 years ago. Learn about the annual Great Central Fairs, the cannons and army barracks that set up shop on the grounds, the elaborate Confederation Day and Queen's Jubilee celebrations...and find out what the heck a mangel wurtzel is.

Free lemonade, birthday cake and sweet potato fries (the latter courtesy of Rolly Rocket's, currently operating out of the original tavern from the days of the Crystal Palace)!

Come early to browse the vendors and displays and enjoy a picnic on the grass. Bring a blanket or lawn chair. Victorian costumes encouraged, but not required.

Take transit (HSR stop on King at Strathcona), walk or ride your bike (racks available near the Vic Park community garden). Limited parking is available near the baseball diamond and the municipal lot on King Street, east of Locke.

Event proudly hosted by the Strathcona Community Council and City of Hamilton.

Come one...come all!

Rally for Friends of Leash Free Warren Park

FRIENDS OF A LEASH – FREE WARREN PARK RALLY

Immediate Release

October 14, 2010- Dundas

Dundas is fast becoming known, for having the largest number of dogs per capita in Ontario.

Then why and how is a very few area residents causing this needed leash free park to close?

A rally to raise awareness and support against this unnecessary change to “what has been available to pet owners in our community for years,” will be held today at 4 p.m. in front of the Town Hall and again Saturday, October 16th @ 10 a.m.

Candidate Danya Scime says, "after 23 years of being a leash free park without documented incident, I find it appalling that in the instant of a motion so many people have been ignored.”

“My heart goes out to all of the dog lovers who did not even have the chance to voice their opinions nor come together and discuss a compromise."

Protest Rally #1 (Thursday, October 14th at 4:00 o'clock)

Some pet owners are disappointed others are angry at the way Russ Powers has handled the closing of Warren Park. This rally is too raise awareness of this issue.

My Priorities.

Pathways to a renewed and vibrant Hamilton:

Specific initiatives designed around these priorities will build up the economic vitality of all our community business districts, and provide new directions for relevant growth around the airport and on urban brownfields, including the waterfront.

To enable the transition of Hamilton into a sustainable eco-city, one of the key first-principles is: to eliminate all stress causing events among our residents that arise from direct or indirect interactions with city policies and processes; and remove all obstacles to economic prosperity, healthy living and the peaceful enjoyment of the city by its residents, visitors and guests.

InnoHa! is about initiating desired changes that we all seek in our city by bringing all our diverse communities together in trust — to implement sustainable ways of living, working and producing locally

A Hands-On Workshop on the Empowering, Transformative Power of Nonviolent Direct Action Positive changes in the world have often relied on nonviolent civil disobedience to achieve their goals, yet very few people have a practical understanding of the tactics and methods of this dynamic and powerful approach to social change. This day-long workshop will be a hands-on learning experience that participants will value as they think about ways to carry out their work in social and environmental issues - from workers' rights and global solidarity movements for justice, to climate change and a host of local issues, nonviolent civil disobedience broadens the scope of possibilities. Learn about your rights, how to deal with opponents, how to protect one another, examples of creative protests using nonviolence, the arrest experience, and the courts, where many nonviolent practitioners have found success in winning case law to broaden the scope of nonviolent resistance in Canada and beyond. This workshop is facilitated by Matthew Behrens of Homes Not Bombs, and the Campaign to Stop Secret Trials in Canada. Behrens has been described as "an inspiration" by legendary civil rights activist David Dellinger. Behrens has been arrested numerous times for bold and creative acts of nonviolent civil disobedience on issues of peace, social justice and the environment.

Hamilton Farmers' Market Genesis - Andrew Miller Land Deed History 1837-1856

  • Date: Wednesday, December 15, 2010
  • Time: 2:32
  • Location: Hamilton

Hamilton Farmers’Market Genesis - Andrew Miller Land Deed History 1837-1856

Who was Andrew Miller?

Andrew Miller was born in Rochester. Like many early settlers at the Head of the Lake, they came from the United States. They were United Empire Loyalists, proud of their British heritage and determined to retain it. He held strong Reform views and was arrested for involvement in the 1837 Rebellion - it is said he stored guns for the rebels in his tavern basement – and his eventual return to native Rochester, suggests that he never abandoned the republican politics of his birthplace. His nickname “Yankee” Miller was no accident. A tavern keeper, land speculator, presented himself as a land surveyor. He was a typical frontier businessman like others; he put his talents and energies to work in more than one field. Politics and business were a natural combination.

About the land;

The first mention of the market site occurs in the Crown land grants of 1801, when Farm Lot 15 in the Second Concession of Barton Township was deeded to a John Haskins or Askin. This large piece of land changed hands a few times until 1823 when Andrew Miller purchased a little over seven acres of it. This piece of land was a grove of apple trees. Triangular in shape and ran North on the west side of James Street. It was an addition to Miller’s already thriving business the Steamboat Hotel located next door. The Steamboat Hotel opened for business in 1819 on the northwest corner of King and James Streets. A prime strategic spot, the site of today’s main entrance to Lloyd D. Jackson Square.

The seven acres of land was only one of a number of town lots that passed through Andrew Miller’s hands in the1820s and 1830s. Located right at the centre of town, and with the town already developing north-ward from Main Street to Burlington Bay buying the orchard made excellent business sense.

In 1832 the local economy was booming. Immigration quickly increased the town’s population from 200 to more than 2,000 residents. Andrew Miller was elected to the Board of Police, the town’s first local government. The town became an Emporium of Trade. A market was needed.

One of the first actions taken by the Board of Police after incorporation in 1833 was to conduct a poll of the town’s taxpayers to canvas the opinion on the best site for a market. The majority of the electors preferred Gore Park; others opted for a location further north on James Street, especially those farmers coming into town along York Street from the west. The preferences of the farmers and electors were only part of the equation. Taking into account the commercial and political rivalries among the town’s leading citizens the result was several months of haggling among the town’s main landowners, but in 1837 the town finally acquired the land needed. Other offers had been considered, but were rejected. The terms of the agreement with Miller and his wife were negotiated several times before the Board agreed to pay each 5 shillings in consideration of their rights to the property. The Millers ceded only a fraction of the lot they had acquired in 1823, a little over half an acre.

The foundation for the market therefore was laid through the generosity and fore though of one of the town’s citizens, who was able to realize the advantages to the municipality of a central buying place where producers and consumers could meet for their mutual benefit. Thus on April 14, 1837, Andrew Miller deeded to the town a small triangular piece of property at York and James Streets. It was a small piece of land, but ample for its purpose in those days.

Miller’s indenture assigning the land to the town was accepted by the President of Police of the town of Hamilton a few days later, but it was registered almost a year later on the 16th.day of February , 1838, as transaction No. 643. The parcel of land had a frontage of about 150 feet on James Street and extended westward towards Mac Nab Street.

The reservations, limitations and conditions set forth in this memorial of bargain and sale were: “That the said party do adopt and use the said parcel of land as a public market ground, and as soon as an Act of the Provincial Parliament has been obtained for the erection of the market on the said ground, proceed to build and finish on this ground a market house of stone or brick, measuring not less than 40 by 60 feet on the ground floor and not less than two storey’s.”

According to the deed the land contained two rods, ten perches, and its boundaries were described as being; from a post situated at James Street, West side, and York Street, North Side, North 18 degrees, 30 minutes to a length of two chains and 25 links, thence 71 degrees 30 minutes westerly to a length of five chains to the North side of York Street, and East on the North side of York Street to the starting point, the property being part of lot 15, concession 2, in the township of Barton.

Without any obstacle to the town’s plans to develop a new market council went ahead and arranged a loan from a George Harvey within two months of Miller’s deed and a Market House was built. Hamilton’s first major building contractor, William Hardy, won the prize of 7.10 pounds for the design of the new Market House. A new wooden structure not of stone or brick, contrary to Miller’s whishes, but quite pretentious for those days, was built. It was completed in 1839 and in June the council adopted a set of regulations governing market commerce, effective July 1, 1839. The rules were amended and published by the town clerk the following September. The Market House for 19 years sufficed the Hamilton public for market purposes.

The transaction was in fact was a great deal more complicated. It suggests a strong element of political intrigue behind the apparently simple facts.

When Miller signed the indenture deeding the land to the town there was an outstanding writ against his property, which was “placed in the hands of a William Munson Jarvis Esq., then Sheriff of the District of Gore (area were most people wanted the market to be built), to be executed in due form of law” on February 9, 1837. No mention of this writ arose during Miller’s negotiations with the town, nor did it arise during the Board’s deliberations. Why not? In fact, the writ was allowed to lie dormant for more than two years, even though the “due form of law” called for its execution within weeks. On March 2, 1839, Sheriff Jarvis finally after having duly advertised said lands according to law did expose and offer said lands and tenements for sale at public auction at the Court House of the Town of Hamilton to the highest bidder.

The “lands and tenements” were sold for the paltry sum of three (3) pounds. The winning bid was entered by Judge Miles O’Reilly, chief justice of the Gore District Court and President of the Board of Police. Does that seem to you has total transparence and above board?

Ten years later (1849), Miles and Jane O’Reilly signed a new indenture transferring the land bought at that auction to the town. Both the Sheriff’s sale and the indenture involved the same triangular piece of ground from Andrew Miller’s apple orchard.

In the deposition of facts in O’Reilly’s deed of 1849, he explained that Miller’s original transfer of the land was “inoperative and void” because the town lacked the “power and authority in the law in the said Corporation to purchase, take or hold lands for a second market in the said Town of Hamilton.” Moreover, argued O’Reilly, Miller’s lands had already been seized by the Sheriff and were no longer in his possession to transfer. Moving then to the heart of the matter, O’Reilly declared:

Before the passing of the statute, among other things, and to enable the said Corporation to take and old lands for a second market in the said Town of Hamilton…the said Miles O’Reilly by the advice and at the request of the members of the said Corporation, and in order to secure to the said Corporation the use and benefit of said lands, and as soon as might be the title to the same, bought said lands at Sheriff’s sale, and the Corporation now styled the City of Hamilton are desirous that said lands should be conveyed to them in due form.

In short, O’Reilly simply acted for the good of the town by circumventing Miller’s Legal problems and the further legal difficulty caused by the lack of enabling legislation.

The evidence suggests that Miller was victimized for his politics and his nationality. It seems that O’Reilly’s played both sides against the middle. On one hand, as chief justice of the district court and President of the Board of Police, he was a pillar of the local establishment. But he also dabbled in Reform politics to the extent of defending a dozen accused rebels at the treason trial in Hamilton in 1838.

It is clear that the lack of enabling legislation presented no serious obstacle to the town’s plans to develop a new market due to the fact that council went ahead with the construction of the Market House immediately after Miller deed the land.

In 1839 to appease Tory anger and anti-American sentiment in the wake of the Rebellion Andrew Miller was offered up as a sacrificial goat. He didn’t suffer irreparable harm. He did endure considerable economic losses in 1839-40, but his business was sufficiently resilient to allow him to move the Steamboat Hotel to a more prosperous location at the corner of MacNab and York Streets. Miller evidently did not lack nerve. The new tavern was called the “American Hotel”. He was reelected to council in 1847 and in 1853 he cast the deciding vote which gave the mayoralty to William Kerr. For reasons unknown by 1856 Miller had returned to Rochester but he continued to own substantial blocks of property in Hamilton.

In 1856 business in Hamilton had outgrown the original Market space, city council was determined to expand the market grounds. The natural direction for growth was north and west, towards MacNab and Merrick. Seven individuals owned this land and one of them was Andrew Miller so the city council sent a delegation to Rochester to arrange to acquire his Merrick Street property. Miller demanded and obtained the highest price, 125 pounds a foot, more than three times as much as Thomas Morton asked for an adjoining property.

This transaction produced another lengthy legal document. Once again, Miller stipulated conditions. The most interesting clause in this deed has caused considerable debate down the years. Miller reiterated that the land in his original deed, the apple orchard, “shall remain an open square and forever remain such for the public benefit, to be used as an appurtenance to the said new Market and for Market purposes forever according to the purport and intent of the original grant.”

The Market Committee reported to council that “Miller’s offer is advantageous to the City as it leaves space for an open Gore and the City can proudly boast of having two open Gores which are not to be found in any other City in the Upper or Lower Province.” The deal was completed a year later. The City bought six (6) parcels of land for 19,915 pounds, British currency was used in those days, or $100,000.00 – of which Miller received about a quarter. The market ground was increased to 25 times its original size.

The properties were secured as follows; From James G. Davis and Jonathan Davis, on October 6; for 3,250 pounds; from David Dewy, for 3,650 pounds; from Thomas Morton, for 1,600 pounds, from John Bradley, for 1,250 pounds; from Jasper T. Gilkson, for 3,915 pounds; from Andrew Miller another piece of land, for 5,000 pounds; and from Allanson Blackmer, for 1,250 pounds.

In view of the necessity for increased Market accommodations caused by the rapid growth in population and wealth prior to the crash of 1857 a new Market building was proposed and finally erected in the early 1860’s. This Victorian urban complex would last as the heart of the City for almost a century.

The Market was vital to the City’s life.

In a deed dated July 31, 1874 and registered on August 1, 1874, George W. Miller, surviving executor under the will of the late Andrew Miller, for valuable consideration, released the City from all the claims under the limitations and reservations as set forth in the memorial of bargain and sale. This is 18 years after the sale. Who did this action benefited? Certainly not the interests of the Market! Was it legal? Did George have the legal ability as an executor to do that. Considering all that has been talked about in the past apparently not. It’s time to find out!

March 27, 1969 – The way was cleared for Hamilton to pluck its 132-year-old downtown market out of the path of progress. The private bills committee at Queen’s Park gave Hamilton council the right to shift the market to make way for civic square development.

Historical reflection: The Patriots was the name given after 1826 to the PARTI CANADIEN and to the popular movement that contributed to the REBELLIONS OF 1837-38 in Lower Canada. The primarily francophone party, led mainly by members of the liberal professions and small-scale merchants, was widely supported by farmers, day-laborers and craftsmen.

The Rebellions of 1837 took place in both Upper and Lower Canada. In LOWER CANADA the rebellion was in large part an expression of a resurgent FRENCH CANADIAN NATIONALISM. The French Canadian majority constituted the overwhelming majority in the locally elected Assembly established by the Canada or CONSTITUTIONAL ACT, 1791. By comparison the UPPER CANADA (Southern Ontario) rebellion was a more limited affair. There was growing discontent with the network of officials, erroneously described as the FAMILY COMPACT, who dominated the administration of the government and controlled the distribution of patronage throughout the province. Popular opposition developed over land-granting policies, particularly the setting aside of large blocks of land as CLERGY RESERVES, the education policies of the government and its economic priorities, and the general favoritism shown to the Church of England and its supporters and to recent emigrants from Britain. This discontent was strongest among the American-born settlers who had migrated prior to the War of 1812 - the so-called late loyalists - and their descendants, nonconformist in their religious views and somewhat republican in their political sympathies, who were denied political rights during the struggle over the ALIEN QUESTION in the 1820s. Although the settlers of American origin constituted a declining proportion of the population as British immigrants flooded into Upper Canada in the early 1830s, the oligarchic form of government which had been established by the CONSTITUTIONAL ACT of 1791 came increasingly under attack, and the nascent Reform Party won control of the Assembly in 1828 and again in 1834

Upper Canada officially existed from 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 and generally comprised present-day Southern Ontario. The geopolitical prefix “upper” in its name reflected its geographic position higher up the river basin or closer to the headwaters of the St. Lawrence River than that of Lower Canada or present day Quebec to the northeast. Upper Canada included all of modern-day southern Ontario and all those areas of northern Ontario in the pays d’en haul haut which had formed part of New France, essentially the watersheds of the Ottawa River, Lake Huron, and Lake Superior. It did not include any lands within the watershed of Hudson Bay.

This is not an extensive study on the land deals of Andrew Miller, but it will help many to better understand what took place and possibly inspire some to search further and help the Market to receive the consideration it deserves.

Rally to Support a Community Stadium & Velodrome on Hamilton's West Harbour

  • Date: Wednesday, January 12, 2011
  • Time: 6.30pm
  • Location: Hamilton City Hall
  • Address: 71 Main St. W. (Google Maps)

As recently clarified by Ian Troop, CEO of Toronto 2015, the City of Hamilton does not need the Ti-Cats as a legacy tenant to secure funding for a stadium. We can build a 5,000-6,500 community stadium (expandable to 15,000 temporary seats for the PanAm Games)with a legacy use for amateur community sport events and possibly a minor league soccer franchise.

We already have the land assembled in the West Harbour, the studies are complete, and the site has been confirmed by council 7 times.

The stadium can be scaleable to support a possible later decision by the Ti-Cats to play there.

Even better is that the savings of constructing a smaller stadium can be put towards building a permanent Velodrome/community athletics centre that will attract elite cycling athletes and elite cycling events to our city.

All we need to make this happen is for a councillor to put forward a motion in the next council meeting on Wednesday, January 12th (7pm start) that Hamilton submit a bid for a community stadium, and for council to pass this motion.

Let's rally at City Hall ahead of the Council Meeting at 6.30pm and make our wishes known to council, and then attend the meeting at 7pm!

Music, Friends, and Football

Hosted by Save Ivor Wynne Stadium dot com

It has been a long 8 months, but after studying such sites as the West Harbor, East Mountain, the CP Railyard on Aberdeen, and even Aldershot outside of our city limits, we find ourselves back to where football has lived in Hamilton for 60 years; Ivor Wynne Stadium.

On Monday, our council will be presented with and discuss, the plan to rebuild and upgrade Ivor Wynne. The deadline to submit Hamilton’s stadium proposal for the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games is February 1st, with 75 Balsam Avenue North as the focus of our primary site for the long term home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and one of the host venues for the 2015 games.

Monday night is a celebration, hosted by friends and family of the Save Ivor Wynne Stadium project. Not a celebration of victory, but a celebration of what this process has taught us, the friendships that have been made, and how our city came together as a whole, to fight for something they believed (and didn’t believe), in.

Ivor Wynne, as re-iterated after one of my past delegations, has become the fallback site. Not preferred by anyone, not the Tiger-Cats, not city council, probably not even HostCo, but for many fans and residents who hold a special place in their hearts for Ivor Wynne Stadium, this is what they had hoped for all along.

It’s time to celebrate never giving up. After eight months of research and desperate pleas, trying to encourage the powers that be to talk about the possibilities that exist amongst the grounds that line Balsam Avenue North, it’s time celebrate that council and the Tiger-Cats are now talking about Ivor Wynne.

That’s all we were really looking for from day one and next week, we may perhaps be given a gift that we never dreamed possible. For the placement of that infinity symbol after 1930 to. For many more volumes to come, in the Ivor Wynne Stadium scrapbook.


DETAILS:

Special GIC Meeting: 1pm in council chambers

Dinner: Shortly after the council meeting concludes, we are going to head over to the Honest Lawyer for some eats. Please do join us.

Music and Drinks: Our band, The Workshop, will be jammin’ at the Skydragon from approximately 7pm on. We will have some spare instruments, or bring your own, as you are more than welcome to join us on stage throughout the night.

All times are approximate and are subject to change depending on when council adjourns for the evening. Check my Twitter Account for updates the day of the GIC.


We hope to see you there. All are welcome.

Hamilton Day of Action

  • Date: Saturday, January 29, 2011
  • Time: 1:00 pm
  • Location: Hamilton City Hall
  • Address: 71 Main Street West (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Laurie Hardwick
  • Phone: 1-800-668-9138

USW Local 1005 and its 900 members and 9000 pensioners are waging a battle on behalf of ALL of us. Foreign-owned companies think we’re just body parts to be thrown away at the end of our work lives. U.S. Steel locked out it workers Nov. 7. It is trying to drive pensioners into the dirt by deindexing their pensions! AND they want defined benefit plans closed to new hires and replaced with defined contribution plans that are nothing more than glorified savings accounts. The OFL, CLC, USW Local 1005 and Hamilton and District Labour Council are calling for a massive province-wide mobilization to stop U.S. Steel and other foreign-owned companies from wrecking our communities and stealing our futures. Let’s get going!

HAMILTON DAY OF ACTION AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

TO ENDORSE THIS DEMONSTRATION PLEASE CONTACT: 905againstpolicebrutality@gmail.com

DAY OF ACTION AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY APRIL 30TH 2011! ...JUSTICE 4 ANDREAS! 1PM @ CITY HALL

Within the last year there has been 3 shootings resulting in 2 deaths at the hands of police officers in the Hamilton/Halton region. There have been numerous instances of police abuse reported in headline news. It is likely that many more accounts of brutality at the hands of Hamilton police have never been heard. We all know someone who has been targeted or affected by the harassment, intimidation and violence that have become the common practice of an unaccountable police force. These cops enjoy impunity while the complaints and allegations against them are met with outright hostility or pushed through a bureaucratic process of little consequence to law enforcement. The steadily growing list of high profile disgraces of our own police department illustrates this.

Sergeant Kevin Dhinsa is accused of sexual and personal harassment by 12 female co?workers , only to return to policing in 2008. All charges were dropped after the chief of police dragged his feet through the courts which resulted in the case being thrown out due to a technicality.

Since its inception in May 2010 the Hamilton Police ACTION Team routinely intimidates and harasses people living, working and hanging out downtown. Their mandate of criminalizing the young, the poor, and the homeless is made clear in last year’s report which revealed that the vast majority of their work consisted of “street checks”, id checks and ticketing for minor offences.

The July 2010 G20 summit held in Toronto saw thousands of police assembled from across the country to execute the largest mass arrest in Canadian history. Nearly 100 Hamilton police officers were involved in the strategic crackdown on the right to political dissent and protest.

On May 4th 2010, 58 year old Myanmar refugee Po La Hay was severely beaten in his own home after police raided mistaken address. Hay, who speaks very little English, was punched and kicked after collapsing to the ground. Hamilton police did not call SIU following the incident. Following the investigation only one cop, Ryan Tocher, was charged. Tocher was also under investigation for “discreditable conduct and unlawful or unnecessary exercise of authority” at the time of the incident. He is still working for Hamilton Police Services.

On February 2nd, 2011, 19 year old Andreas Chinnery was shot and killed inside his apartment by 3 police responding to a noise complaint. Andreas was not armed and the officers were let into the apartment. To date the Hamilton Police have refused to release virtually any information regarding the shooting.

We as a community cannot let this behaviour continue unopposed in our city! The SIU has time and time again proven itself to be an impotent organization, incapable of keeping police brutality, assault, harassment and murder in check. The vast majority of cops investigated by the SIU (police investigating police) are cleared of all charges. The time has come for us as victims of the police to begin providing our own solutions. This is why we are calling for a rally and demonstration on Saturday April 30th in Hamilton.

We demand an open investigation into the murder of Andreas Chinnery! We will no longer accept police brutality in our city! We will stand together across our communities in defence of those targeted by the police!

"Protest Barrick" Speaking Tour in Hamilton

"There is a global resistance to Canadian mining."

Barrick Gold is the world's largest gold mining company, founded and chaired by Peter Munk. With a former prime minister on their board and former executive sitting on the board of the Canadian Pension Plan, Barrick enjoys government funding and diplomatic support.

Barrick Gold takes advantage of inadequate and poorly enforced regulatory controls to rob Indigenous Peoples and communities of their land and livelihoods, destroying sensitive ecosystems, supporting brutal military and security operations, and suing those who dare to report on it. Impacted communities are coming to Canada to confront Barrick, sharing their own undeniable perspectives and shedding light on corporate impunity.

Come out to support them!

On Monday May 9th, come out to the Skydragon Centre to hear from front-line activists from Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Tanzania, as well as solidarity activists from Canada, about Barrick Golds impact on communities around the world and what this global resistance looks like.

END:CIV Hamilton Premiere with director Franklin Lopéz

If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests and contaminated the food supply, would you resist? If creatures from outer space made the water so poisonous you wouldn't dream of drinking it, would you try to stop them? If monsters released toxic chemicals that caused cancer in the people you love, would you fight back?

These aren't idle questions. It's happening now – except there are no aliens. The culture that's cradled us since birth is a killer.

Join director Franklin Lopez on the Hamilton stop of his North American tour. A critical documentary inspired by the work of Derrick Jensen. $5-15 admission, no one turned away for lack of funds.

Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair 2011

We are pleased to announce the 4th annual Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair. Please spread the word! The bookfair will be a one day event with anti-capitalist, anarchist and social justice oriented publishers, vendors and organizations from across the region gathering to share literature and ideas. A series of workshops through ...out the day are also planned, details will be available shortly.

#

We need to talk. We need to talk about our past: the HSR strike of 1906, the steelworkers’ strike of ’46, the fight for the Red Hill Valley, the fact that this city is on stolen Native land. We need to talk about what we are facing today: attacks on workers and the poor, gentrification, the total destruction of our landbase, and the same deception and oppression from those in power we’ve always seen. Finally, let’s talk about our future. Let’s talk about a world without classes, bosses, borders or boredom. Let’s talk about freedom, and how we’re gonna get there.

On June 4th, join us in the historic Worker’s Arts and Heritage Centre for the 4th annual Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair. There will be books and literature, workshops and discussions, free food and childcare. This venue is wheelchair accessible, please feel free to contact us about accessibility concerns: hamiltonbookfair@gmail.com We’ll see you there! Love,

The Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair Crew

Free Tire Pressure Clinic

On Saturdays beginning August 6, 2011 Green Venture will hold a series of free Tire Pressure Clinics at selected Canadian Tire store parking lots in Hamilton. Drivers will learn how to properly check their vehicle’s tire pressure, and receive a free Green Venture EcoDriver kit which includes: Tire Pressure Gauge, Fuel Consumption Calculator, EcoDriver Tips and Brochure, Tire Tread Indicator.

“A vehicle with just one tire under-inflated by 8 psi uses 4% more fuel, and the life expectancy of the tire decreases by 15,000km,” says Paul Barrett from Green Venture, which delivers the EcoDriver program in Hamilton. “While about half of drivers know they should check tire pressures, most don’t know how to do it properly. By investing 5 minutes at a Tire Pressure Clinic, drivers learn how easy it is to check and maintain their vehicle’s tire pressures.”

The Rubber Association of Canada states that “tire under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and can lead to accidents” and that “under-inflated tires cause Canadians to waste an estimated 643 million litres of fuel each year”.

Seminar ‘Is there a willingness to pay for island sustainability’

  • Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2011
  • Time: 11.00 am - 12.00 pm
  • Location: McMaster Innovation Park
  • Address: 175 Longwood Road South (Google Maps)
  • Contact: L. Benedetti
  • Email: contact@inweh.unu.edu
  • Phone: +1 (905) 667-5511

This seminar is part of the seminar series ' Managing Coasts in a Changing World' organized by the Coastal Ecosystems programme of UNU-INWEH.

Speaker: Dr. Rachel Dodds, a dynamic, self starter with over 20 years international experience across a wide spectrum of the tourism industry. Rachel has worked with hotels, large and small tour operators, ecotourism planners, sustainable tourism management and marketing projects, international development banks, landscape and park planning firms, governments, NGO's, marketing organizations and hospitality and tourism attractions.

Rachel is currently the Director of Sustaining Tourism - a boutique consulting firm. She is also an Associate Professor at Ryerson University in Canada where she joined the Ted Rogers School of Tourism & Hospitality Management in 2006.

Introduction: A significant number of island destinations are dependent on tourism for their livelihood. Of the 31 countries in the world with more than 20% of their GDP generated by tourism, 27 are islands states, therefore it is imperative to manage these destinations for long-term viability and sustainability. This type of tourism is predominantly nature based, yet the impacts of such tourism on the natural environment and resources are intensive and often result in a significant environmental footprint. Numerous studies have found the need for more sustainable forms of tourism. This talk reviews the concept of sustainable coastal tourism and discusses issues on the island of Koh Phi Phi, Thailand after the Tsunami of 2004, and examines whether there is a willingness to pay or a more sustainable tourism destination.

PILGRIMAGE TO FREEDOM CARAVAN

  • Date: Sunday, October 02, 2011
  • Time: 12:30 to 5pm
  • Location: Simcoe - Brantford - Hamilton - Toronto
  • Contact: Justicia for Migrant Workers
  • Email: pilgrimage2freedom@gmail.com

Join the caravan!

Hamilton meeting spot: 12:30pm, Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, 51 Stuart Street, Hamilton

Welcome the Pilgrimage to Freedom caravan as migrant workers and allies arrive in Toronto.

Meet at 3:00pm Ontario Ministry of Labour 400 University Ave., Toronto (just south of Dundas St. W and St. Patrick subway station)

March to the Simcoe Park Workers' Monument (Front St. and Simcoe St., beside the CBC building) for closing celebration featuring Rosina Kazi from LAL, Amai Kuda and other performers from 3:30 - 5pm

** If you cannot join the march from the Ministry of Labour, consider waiting at the park and be part of the reception for the caravan!

Last year, over 150 migrant workers and their allies made history by marching over 50 Km, an equivalent of 12 hours, from Leamington to Windsor, Ontario demanding justice, respect and dignity for the hundreds of thousands employed under the auspices of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Programs. Over the last year, thousands of people have heard the testimonies and the stories that led to organizing the march. Demands for permanent residency and citizenship status, an end to repatriations and deportations, labour law reform, equal access to social entitlements and an end to the coercive role of recruiters and contractors has inspired many others about the realities faced by migrant workers in Canada.

Migrant workers and members of Justicia for Migrant Workers (J4MW) have continued to organize in rural Ontario and are once again demanding that the chains of indentureship in Canada be broken! This year the pilgrimage continues as a form of a caravan across rural Ontario. Migrant workers and their allies will be recreating the stops of the underground railroad to pay tribute to the important struggles of resistance that we base our struggle upon. On September 4th, 2011 we visited St. Catharines, Virgil, NOTL, and Niagara Falls during the first stage of the Pilgrimage to Freedom and on September 25, 2011, workers and allies traveled from Windsor to Dresden, Chatham and Leamington.

J4MW is requesting the support of community, religious, labour and allied organizations to join us for the last action.

*RIDES: Being a grassroots organization, we have very limited funding and it will go to paying for the buses of the tour and transporting farmworkers, so we cannot offer a bus leaving Toronto. We will do our best to coordinate rides so people can attend from out of town. Please let us know if you can offer a ride to someone from Toronto to Simcoe, Brantford or Hamilton.

Background Information

More than 20, 000 migrant farm workers from Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala, the Philippines, and the Caribbean arrive in Canada to work in our fields, orchards and greenhouses every year. Many workers pay thousands of dollars in fees to recruiters to be able to work in Canada, sometimes for jobs that do not even exist. Once they arrive, many workers face dangerous working conditions, sub-standard housing and employment standards and human rights violations. As farm workers and migrants, they have little recourse to assert their human and labour rights and are constantly faced with the threat of deportation if they voice their concerns.

Justicia for Migrant Workers is an award winning volunteer-run collective that strives to promote the rights of migrant farm workers by creating spaces for workers to lead their own movement and articulate their own voices in a country that makes renders them invisible.

  • Address: French's farm just west of Highway 124 at Conover, Ontario,north of the 20th Sideroad. (Google Maps)
  • Phone: 416 537 9977

80 of Canada's best chefs cook up a storm to help Stop The MegaQuarry.

On Sunday, October 16th 80 chefs from Nunavut to Saskatchewan to Nova Scotia will descend on a small Ontario farming community south of Collingwood, ON to help put a stop to a proposed mega quarry project that would obliterate thousands of acres of high yield,Class 1 farmland.

The prospect of turning so much prime cropland close tothe GTA into stone has got food safety, sustainability and sovereigntyadvocates on the rocks.

The event, known as FOODSTOCK, promises to live up to its '60s era inspiration, with an anticipated crowd of 20,000 people in attendance. Celebrated chef Michael Stadtländer-whose nearby Eigensinn Farm andHaisai Restaurant have become internationally celebrated gourmet destinations-is heading up the event together with the Canadian Chef'sCongress.

FOODSTOCK is a pay-what-you-can event featuring gourmet dishes dprepared by 80 of Canada's top chefs, including Jamie Kennedy and Canoe Restaurant's Andrew Walsh. There will also be music by the likes of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy, Sarah Harmer and a host of others, as well as scientist headliners speaking in opposition to the proposed mega quarry.

The mega quarry proposal in question was put forward this spring by TheHighland Companies, a Canadian corporation created by Boston-basedhedge fund the Baupost Group.

The proposed quarry would: · Be Canada's largest open pit quarry at 2,316 acres · Require extraction of 600 million litres of water per day FOREVER,affecting the watersheds of southern Ontario rivers
· Obliterate thousands of acres of high yield, Class 1 farmland madeup of Honeywood Silt Loam-a specialty soil now producing many kinds of vegetables in addition to approximately 50% of the GTA market for potatoes.

See nomegaquarry.ca or NDACT.com for more details.

For complete details or to learn more about Michael Stadtländer, please visit canadianchefscongress.com.

Admission: Pay what you can to support the cost of fighting the Quarry! PLEASE PURCHASE ONE TICKET PER PERSON, THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. TICKETS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE AT THE EVENT, THE DAY OF THE EVENT.

If the weather is nice, we'll be doing some exterior painting and prep work and reclaiming the flower beds. If it's not so nice, there's interior painting, cleaning, and we could use some handy people with step ladders and cordless drills to help us take down some of the old blinds.

The city is providing the paint and some equipment, but if you have gloves, scrapers, brushes, rollers, roller pans, and garden tools you could bring, that would be great.

Come after hockey! We'll be there.

In the wake of Argentina’s dramatic collapse in 2001, Latin America’s most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment.In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines.

But this simple act-the take-has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

Director/producer Avi Lewis (CBC’s counterSpin) and writer/producer and renowned author Naomi Klein ( No Logo) take viewers inside the lives of ordinary visionaries, as they reclaim their work, their dignity and their democracy.

Monday, Nov 21st – 6pm Followed by a casual discussion.

The Politics of Policymaking - Another Drop Panel Event

  • Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2011

  • Phone: 9056675775

Effective policy development is a complex process. This is particularly true in the case of water in which multiple water uses compete for priority. Within this context, evidence-based decision-making is essential to informed and appropriate water-related policy development. Incorporation of the most current research is an integral part of this process. However, researchers often struggle to have their findings considered in policy development. With various actors often involved in the process, who decides what factors should be considered? Furthermore, with political considerations often guiding policy, how can researchers translate their findings into policy? Bridging the gap between science and policy is essential in effective formulation.

The event is free and refreshments will be served. All are welcome. Please RSVP to contact@inweh.unu.edu

Persistent contaminants in marine mammals: trends and patterns in a changing world

  • Date: Thursday, November 24, 2011
  • Time: 4 pm - 5 pm
  • Location: McMaster Innovation Park
  • Address: 175 Longwood Road South, Hamilton, ON (Google Maps)

Title: Persistent contaminants in marine mammals: trends and patterns in a changing world

Series: Managing Coasts in a Changing World seminar series

Speaker: Dr. Chris Metcalfe

Free public lecture, all welcome!

Marine mammals accumulate high concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) because of their high fat content and because many species of cetaceans and pinnipeds occupy the very top of the marine food chain. In some areas of the world, such as in northern Canada, POPs that accumulate in marine mammals can impact human health as a result of the consumption of “country foods” by Indigenous peoples. Monitoring of marine mammals provides a window into global trends in POPs concentrations that are occurring as a result of changes in climate, the use patterns of industrial and agri-chemicals, and reduced biodiversity in the oceans. In this presentation, Dr. Metcalfe will review his research experience with contaminants in marine mammals from various locations around the world, as well as data that have been generated by other researchers working in this field. This presentation will be of interest to those who want to know more about toxic chemicals in the environment, as well as contaminant trends and the potential impacts of POPs in marine mammals.

Collier's Popular Press book launch

  • Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2011
  • Time: 6:30pm
  • Location: Bryan Prince Bookseller
  • Address: 1060 King Street West, Hamilton (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Kerry Cranston
  • Email: staff@princebooks.net
  • Phone: (905) 528-4508

Please join us for the launch of "Collier's Popular Press" by Hamilton cartoonist, David Collier.

David Collier is perhaps the premier living embodiment of this tradition of observational cartooning. He’s very conscious of this older tradition and has in particular been shaped by the work of J.R. Williams. Like Williams, Collier draws a roughhewn, gnarly line that wins us with its homespun honesty. Some of the drawings in this book, particular the landscape illustrations Collier did for the Globe and Mail, are simply marvelous as stand-alone works of art. What distinguishes these drawings is the quality of Collier’s eye, his ability to notice details which are expertly recreated by his textured cross-hatching.

This book collects Canadian cartoonist David Collier’s work published over the last 30 years in various publications such as: The National Post, The Nerve, The Globe and Mail, The Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Geist magazine, The Comics Journal, and many more. With new introductions by the artist himself and plenty of added ephemera, this is the volume that Collier fans have been waiting for.

Free Admission. Everyone Welcome.

Screening of: Capitalism is the Crisis

  • Date: Monday, December 05, 2011
  • Time: 6:30pm
  • Location: Sky Dragon
  • Address: 27 King William St - 2nd floor (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Sunil
  • Email: sunil@peacecafe.ca

All are welcome to a free screening of “Capitalism is he Crisis”, a new Canadian documentary that is especially relevant considering the rise of the Occupy movement globally.

The 2008 “financial crisis” in the United States was a systemic fraud in which the wealthy finance capitalists stole trillions of public dollars. No one was jailed for this crime, the largest theft of public money in history. Instead, the rich forced working people across the globe to pay for their “crisis” through punitive “austerity” programs that gutted public services and repealed workers’ rights.

This documentary explains the nature of capitalist crisis, visits the protests against austerity measures, and recommends revolutionary paths for the future.

Special attention is devoted to the crisis in Greece, the 2010 G20 Summit protest in Toronto, Canada, and the remarkable surge of solidarity in Madison, Wisconsin.

A discussion follows the film

Screening of: Life and Debt

  • Date: Monday, December 19, 2011
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: Sky Dragon
  • Address: 27 King William St - 2nd floor (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Sunil
  • Email: sunil@peacecafe.ca

Life and Debt is a 2001 American documentary film directed by Stephanie Black. It examines the economic and social situation in Jamaica, and specifically the impact thereon of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank's globalization policies. Its starting point is the award-winning non-fiction essay A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid.

These loans were conditional on structural adjustment policies, which required Jamaica to enact harsh economic reforms, including trade liberalization, privatization, and deregulation. However, the reforms were unsuccessful and left the country with $4.6 billion dollars in debt. The film blames the World Bank and the IMF for causing this situation.

The film features a number of interviews with former Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley in which he critiques the system of International Financial Institution loans.

He is particularly critical of required structural adjustments as an attack on the sovereignty of many former colonial nations and suggests the system is akin to imperialism or neocolonialism.

Similar claims have been made popular by former Chief Economist of the World Bank (and Nobel Prize in Economics winner) Joseph Stiglitz. (source: wikipedia)

Followed by a casual discussion.

Topic: PKD - Genetics and Family Planning Options

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder that can be passed from generation to generation through either a dominant, or a recessive gene. What does this mean? What is the difference? How does each of these impact our children? What choices do we have in building our families? Who can help us better understand these choices, and act on the ones that we feel are best for us?

Get a better understanding of the genetics of PKD; learn about the new options that are available to families, such as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD); and hear the personal story of one family that has been through it. Decisions on family planning are highly personal. All options will be discussed in a supportive and non-judgmental way. Ethical considerations will be discussed as well.

Screening of: No Logo

  • Date: Monday, January 23, 2012
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: Sky Dragon Centre/Homegrown Hamilton
  • Address: 27 King WIlliam Street - Second floor (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Sunil
  • Email: sunil@peacecafe.ca
  • Phone: 905-481-0809

In the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. But why do some of the world’s best-known brands find themselves on the wrong end of the spray paint can — the targets of anti-corporate campaigns by activists and protesters?

No Logo, based on the best-selling book by Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic and cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike,The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.

Using hundreds of media examples, No Logo shows how the commercial takeover of public space, destruction of consumer choice, and replacement of real jobs with temporary work – the dynamics of corporate globalization – impact everyone, everywhere. It also draws attention to the democratic resistance arising globally to challenge the hegemony of brands.

Familys and Friends Against Police Terror!

FAMILIES AND FRIENDS AGAINST POLICE TERROR! STOP POLICE BRUTALITY!

On February 4th, Hamilton Copwatch and the families and friends of those healing from the trauma of police terror and brutality are calling on you to take to the streets in solidarity with the message ...that THIS ENDS NOW! In response to the events of December 13th, wherein which Pamela Markland and her six kids (8 to 21) were terrorised by a paramilitary-style police invasion of their home as part of the Toronto Police-led ‘Project Marvel’ raids in our city, we say NO MORE!

The Toronto Police who entered our city streets and broke down the doors of Hamilton residents at the crack of dawn in December were acting within the jurisdiction of the Hamilton Police Services. In the case of Pamela’s family, heavily armed police forcefully poured into their home and handcuffed Pamela and her children at gun point. Police tossed a stun grenade at Pamela and her 9 year old autistic son Isaiah, leaving burns on the mother’s foot. Officers produced a search warrant but we say their violent actions were completely unwarranted!

While Toronto and Hamilton Police allege that there was sufficient evidence to connect Pamela and her kids to the activities of a youth gang in Toronto, no charges or arrests were made following the raid. The family has been uprooted from their home and forced to seek refuge in shelters as a result of the terror inflicted upon them by so-called “public servants.” We say that the police are the ones guilty of violence!

Join Pamela and her kids as they lead us into the streets to send a clear and direct message to the Hamilton Police that we will not tolerate police abuse. Pamela’s family and supporters are demanding an apology, an explanation, and an end to police abuse across this city now.

Come out to support this message and help deliver a signed list of demands to Hamilton Police Services on February 4th 12:30pm. Rally at City Hall (71 Main St. W.).

OUR UNITY IS OUR STRENGTH IN THE STRUGGLE TO END POLICE ABUSE!

Leap into Startup Weekend

  • Date: Wednesday, February 29, 2012
  • Time: 7:00pm
  • Location: The Baltimore House
  • Address: 43 King William Street (Google Maps)

Do you have a creative passion such as software development, music, fashion, film, art, or design? Or do you enjoy talking to customers, marketing, and developing monetization strategies? Maybe you should be part of a startup...

Leap into Startup Weekend is the ticket sale launch party for those interested in attending the next Startup Weekend Hamilton event!!

Startup Weekend Hamilton is a new event where startups happen in a single weekend. Ideas for startups are pitched on Friday night, teams form to work on the business model and build prototypes, and by Sunday night the teams are presenting their new startup in front of a panel of expert judges to select a winner.

If you're not sure how it all works that weekend you're not alone, organizers and veterans of last October's Startup Weekend event will be at Leap into Startup Weekend to explain what it's all about, how it works and what it's like to be a part of one.

Leap into Startup Weekend will kick off with a keynote by Yuriy Blokhin of Kik Messenger, followed by networking with snacks and coffees, and some special discount priced Startup Weekend tickets! For those who stick around long enough there will be a DJ and some dancing at The Baltimore House later that night!

School Board staff have proposed closing Prince Philip School and busing all its students to George R. Allan School. The volunteer ARC committee has proposed keeping Prince Philip, George R. Allan, and Dalewood intact. On April 16 the Board of Trustees will vote on their preferred proposal.

We have 3 healthy, vibrant schools - George R. Allan, Prince Philip, and Dalewood. Enrollment is steady and our utilization rates are high. Initial planning of these three schools was based on walkability and community need - which still exists!

New community media website launched

  • Date: Friday, March 30, 2012
  • Time: 12pm
  • Location: Hamilton

Media Release March 29, 2012

A new community media website is launched today:

] Hamilton Reporter [ http://www.hamiltonreporter.com/

Click on the >>> Launch Hamilton Reporter link at the above web site, and it will bring you to: https://hamiltonreporter.crowdmap.com

Here you will see a lot of local Reports already filed by many Hamilton's Reporters.

Click on the 'Reports' to view the posts, or go to different Reports by zooming/panning/clicking the coloured dots on the map at the ward/neighbourhood/street level.

The Reports can be sorted out by the 'category' they are filed under. The 'Categories' and 'Layers' drop down buttons on the map can be switched on/off by clicking an item to quickly sort reports by category, and/or in conjunction with relevant overlay maps. (many more innovative city/ward/neighbourhood layers will be added in the coming days).

Read the "About" Hamilton Reporter on the home page and please share the above link with everyone in your network, including your local community groups & organizations and leaders of various initiatives. And encourage them to 'Report' on all that is relevant and important to our community on the Hamilton Reporter.

This is where we can get all our stories told. Authentic stories that need to be heard. Our stories that will shape and define our city.

As this new community-driven media project evolves, you will begin to clearly see many unfiltered snapshots of our diverse community emerging on the map from the live patterns created the on-going filing of reports.

The immense benefits of Hamilton Reporter's community-driven, GIS based, reporting service for news, views, events and incidents across our diverse city, will get apparent as users begin to submit their stories and these stories begin to grow in numbers and aggregate into patterns - driving attention to topics, highlighting achievements or problems and driving solutions.

As you begin to explore and get familiar with the immense power of your reports to directly communicate your events, views, opinions, comments, incidents and stories in your community, you will realize that you are the creator and editor of real news in our city.

You are the Hamilton Reporter!!

Cheers!

Stadium Precinct Planning Sub Committee Meeting

  • Date: Thursday, April 26, 2012
  • Time: 7-9pm
  • Location: Prince of Whales Jr Elementary School
  • Address: 77 Melrose Ave N (Google Maps)

This week, the Stadium Precinct Planning Committee will be hosting a public meeting at Prince of Wales School.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this important development in our neighbourhood and to be part of the process at an early stage. All are welcome. You must register for this event. For more details including contact information to register your spot, visit the South Sherman Hub page.

As well, see this article by David Premi and Paul Shaker, principals with RethinkRenewal in TheSpec asking what we are getting for our $60M investment in the stadium, discussing how we can better engage citizens and some ideas regarding major developments the authors would like to see ready in time for 2015.

For me personally, with all the negativity surrounding the games, its encouraging to see that some people still believe we can turn this around and create something special for our community. We still have an opportunity to make a lasting and valuable legacy for our city.

Hamilton May Day Parade & Block Party 2012

Join us on May 1st @ 2pm in Beasley Park to celebrate May Day in Hamilton. We’re going to kick off the afternoon with a roaming dance party through the downtown core in order to reclaim the streets from the monotonous, capitalist grind. Led by the sweet sounds of the... Hammersauce Noise Brigade, we will dance our way through the streets of Hamilton to remind this city that a system based on money and land-deeds isn’t nearly as funky as the world we envision.

After busting our moves in the streets, we will bring the Parade back to Beasley Park where a Block Party will be in full swing, complete with a free barbeque, musical performances, circus activities and games. This is going to be a fun, family-friendly afternoon in the sun, so bring your appetite and leave your wallet at home!

In solidarity, -M1 Hamilton, Occupied Turtle Island

Come and enjoy the whimsy and charm of a traditional children's celebration! Music, games, crafts, food and more....

The Westdale Children's School (WCS) is a caring, safe and inspiring environment for learning, socializing and playing.

Our pressure-free gentle approach is inspired by Waldorf Early Childhood Education and is noticeably different than that of other preschool programs. We focus on imaginative free play, healthy snacks and plenty of time outdoors, including weekly nature hikes. These activities support children's natural development and help prepare them for academics.

WCS offers a morning and afternoon Kindergarten curriculum for children 3 to 6 years. We also offer two Parent and Child programs: "Babes in Arms" for infants up to 12 months of age, and a second program for children between 12 months and 4 years. WCS offers one-week Summer Camp programs for 3 to 6 year olds and 7 to 10 year olds. More information and registration details are available on the website.

Founded in 1996, the Westdale Children's School is licensed under the Day Nurseries Act and is a non-profit, registered charitable organization as well as a developing member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America. The school gratefully acknowledges a grant received from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2007.

On s'en Calisse!: a discussion on the quebec (student) strike

  • Date: Thursday, June 14, 2012
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: Room 311/313, McMaster University Student Centre
  • Address: 1280 Main St W (Google Maps)

As the historic mobilization in Quebec continues to expand, many of us in Ontario are struggling to find accurate and interesting information about the movement there, so that we can effectively provide solidarity and also advise our own struggles. On Thursday June 14, at 7pm, in room 311/313 of the McMaster Student Centre, we will be joined by an ally from Montreal to discuss the history of student strikes in Quebec over the last thirty years and to reflect on the context and developments within the current strike. Our guest has been deeply involved in the growing revolt in Quebec and can offer us a very "on the ground" perspective to cut through the spin being generated by mainstream media.

This is a free event, but we are requesting that anyone who can makes a $10 donation to support the legal fees of radicals in Quebec facing charges from the mobilizations. Please forward and Facebook this widely.

This venue is wheelchair accessible.

Stop the Flows - No Line 9 Reversal

  • Date: Thursday, September 27, 2012
  • Time: 6:30 pm
  • Location: First Unitarian Church
  • Address: 170 Dundurn St. S. (Google Maps)

Across the continent, communities are struggling to stop the flow of Tar Sands oil through their lands. Opposition to the Keystone XL and Northern Gateway pipelines is denying the Tar Sands a route to the south or west, keeping the oil landlocked in Alberta. Now, Enbridge is seeking to reverse their Line 9 pipeline through Southern Ontario to create an eastern path for it.

Tar Sands oil is the dirtiest oil in the world, and the extraction of it is fuelling catastrophic climate change while poisoning the communities around it. We all have an interest in keeping this oil in the ground and away from our homes.

Join us for a forum and discussion about Enbridge's reversal of the Line 9 oil pipeline. Speakers will describe: - The growing continental movement to stop the flow of Tar Sands oil - Enbridge's refusal to consult with the Haudenosaunee and other First Nations as treaty law requires - The threat to our local watershed, especially the Beverly Swamp, a provincially-significant wetland at the headwaters of the Spencer Creek.

This is a free event, though donations to cover costs will be accepted. The First Unitarian Church is accessible for mobility devices. This is a kid friendly event, and childcare will be available. Light food and drink provided.

Planning Kirkendall - first meeting

Planning Kirkendall: First in a series of potlucks and community conversations that will help us make key decisions about what we want for our neighbourhood.

Kirkendall is beginning to face a number of key development/redevelopment decisions, including a proposed seven-story development on Locke Street. It has been difficult to address these kinds of land use questions without an overarching, broadly supported plan that lists our main priorities for the neighbourhood. (The current Kirkendall Secondary Plan was developed in 1982.)

Planning Kirkendall is part of “Know Your Neighbourhood, Grow Your Neighbourhood,” a project that will help Kirkendall residents connect, take stock, and plan for the future. The project has been led by volunteers, including Kirkendall residents Pamela Hubbard, Chandra Rice, Marion Emo, Matt Leighninger, Jennifer Anne Barrett, and Cathy Pead. The first event of this project was a successful “Sowing the Seeds” gathering held last June to see if there is interest in moving forward. Everyone at the session expressed that it’s a good idea.

What will this process produce? In 3-4 meetings, over the next several months, Know and Grow Your Neighbourhood - Planning Kirkendall will help us assess information about the neighbourhood, move further on the themes that emerged at the “Sowing the Seeds” gathering, surface other priorities and concerns, and produce a plan that can help guide decision-making by neighbourhood residents, local officials, city planners, and developers. Councillor Brian McHattie and other local stakeholders will be attending the meeting next week.

If you’re interested in attending and want to help us pull it together, please contact Matt Leighninger at mattleighninger@earthlink.net.

Thomas King on "The Inconvenient Indian"

  • Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2012
  • Time: 7:00pm
  • Location: McMaster Medical Centre, Ewart Angus Centre, Room 1A1
  • Address: 1280 Main Street West (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Kerry
  • Email: events@princebooks.net
  • Phone: 905-528-4508

Novelist, broadcaster and First Nations activist, Thomas King will be in Hamilton to discuss his latest book "The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America".

"The Inconvenient Indian" is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history—in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America.

Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands.

Please join us for this free, public lecture.

Presented by Bryan Prince Bookseller, OPIRG McMaster, McMaster First Nations Student Association and Random House of Canada.

Nicole Foss lives on a farm near Ottawa, is trained as a biologist and in environmental law, She consults on energy and financial issues, blogging at www.theautomaticearth.org. She has a great interest in health and nutrition.

Her talk will address food production in the future and the health timebomb we've created in the era of industrial foodstuffs. We've built a farming system with critical dependencies on fossil fuels, large scale mono-cropping and genetically engineered seed. She will focus on the impacts of energy climate and money. Her down-to-earth talk will help you grasp what limits to growth really means. Almost no one talks about the bigger picture, so people struggle to understand. She helps you identify your options to prepare for challenging times

Nicole Foss, BSc, LLM, has lectured in 15 countries and given hundreds of speeches and workshops over the past three years. Come to Copetown to learn what you can about your food, your farm and your family.

  • Date: Tuesday, January 08, 2013
  • Time: 7:00 PM

  • Address: 175 Longwood Road South, Hamilton, Ontario (Google Maps)

Speaker: Dr. Brent Wolfe, Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University

Please RSVP to contact.inweh@unu.edu

Effective stewardship of floodplain landscapes requires knowledge of the relative roles of natural processes and upstream human activities on environmental flows. In floodplain landscapes, hydroecological conditions that develop from potentially competing drivers tend to be expressed at spatial and temporal scales that are often inadequately captured by existing monitoring datasets. Consequently, perceived cause – effect relations may be misunderstood, conflict can escalate among stakeholders, and effectiveness of surveillance systems, policies and governance may be impaired. This is the context for the Peace-Athabasca Delta, an internationally-recognized water-rich floodplain landscape located in northern Alberta that has been subject to multiple stressors. Based on over a decade of research, this seminar will relay key findings from lake sediment records that have fostered an unparalleled window into the past to address water quantity and quality concerns of today.

Aerotropolis Community Update Meeting

  • Date: Wednesday, January 09, 2013
  • Time: 6:00 PM
  • Location: City Hall
  • Address: 71 Main Street West, Hamilton ON (Google Maps)

This meeting, organized by the Hamilton Civic League, Environment Hamilton, Hamiltonians for Progressive Development and the Hamilton chapter of the Council of Canadians, will provide an update on the Airport Employment Growth District (AEGD) plan that is going to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for a three-week hearing starting January 14, 2013.

Hamiltonians for Progressive Development appealed the City's plan to rezone and service thousands of acres of farmland around Hamilton International Airport to attract new industrial development, arguing that the plan goes against the Province's intensification mandate, will contribute to suburban sprawl and is unnecessary with all of the unused and under-used industrial land already inside the urban boundary.

Kitestring creative branding studio, Innovation Factory, Fullerton Media, and Mohawk College have teamed up to host a screening of The Startup Kids.

After watching the trailer for this film, we knew it had to be shown here in Hamilton and saw the opportunity to bring together the best and brightest of Hamilton's entrepreneur and startup community.

The Startup Kids is a documentary about young web entrepreneurs in the U.S. and Europe. It contains interviews with the founders of Vimeo, SoundCloud, Kiip, InDinero, Dropbox, Foodspotting and many others who talk about how they started their company and their lives as an entrepreneur.

The movie is made by two Icelandic entrepreneurs, Vala Halldorsdottir and Sesselja Vilhjalmsdottir, who founded their first company shortly after the economic collapse of Iceland and wanted to motivate other young people to become entrepreneurs.

The film will be screened at the beautiful McIntyre Performing Arts Centre at Mohawk College.

Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Personal Journey (Free Talk)

  • Date: Sunday, January 20, 2013
  • Time: From 2pm to 4pm

  • Address: 50 Charlton Avenue East (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Hamilton Chapter Coordinator
  • Email: hamiltonchapter@endpkd.ca
  • Phone: 1-877-410-1741

Polycystic Kidney Disease patient, Lori, believes living a healthy life is important and by telling her personal story she hopes other chronic kidney disease patients will learn some helpful hints for living well.

Lori is one of the estimated 66,000 Canadians affected by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a hereditary disorder characterized by fluid-filled cysts on the kidneys, and she is sharing her personal journey on January 20 to encourage others living with chronic kidney disease to live the best life they can.

"At the age of 19, I was shocked to be diagnosed with an inherited kidney disease," said Lori, a PKD Foundation of Canada member. "Because I was adopted, I'd been unaware of my genetic medical history."

In 2010, Lori came close to dying from end-stage renal failure. Today, Lori undergoes regular dialysis treatments and is on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.

Free informational support meetings for PKD patients, their families and friends, are hosted by the Hamilton Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada six times a year. Free street parking and paid on-site parking is available.

More information is available on the PKD Foundation of Canada website.

IT'S A GIRL documentary on Gendercide screening

‘Take a breath, and you sample the world.’ So reads a National Geographic Jan 2013 article on microbes. Many airborne microbes travel enormous distances, eventually circling the globe. Similarly human activity, in any part of the globe affects us all. ‘It’s A Girl,’ the documentary film, is about the estimated 200 million girls who are missing in the world due to gendercide. Shot on location in India and China, It’s a Girl exposes the truth about this war against girls and laments the lack of any effective measure against this injustice. The Divine Light Awakening Society understands there is truly an answer to restoring balance.

If you stand for Gender Equality, Human Rights, Non-Violence, and are against Gendercide, join us on Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 1441 Barton St E, Hamilton from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. for a viewing of this documentary. There will also be a presentation on Santulan – our Gender Equality Program. Lunch will be served. For more information call 905-545-9178 or email divinelightawakeningsociety@gmail.com.

Speaker: Jeff Robertson, Executive Director of the PKD Foundation of Canada

We hope you can join us as Jeff Robertson explains what living donation is, along with how to have conversations with people about the process. You will also learn how to help raise overall awareness of the need for living kidney donation; including tips on how to share your personal story with friends, family and the media.

Before taking on the role of Executive Director in 2008, Jeff was actively involved with the PKD Foundation of Canada as both Chapter and Walk Coordinator for Toronto. He continues to be the volunteer Toronto Walk Coordinator and remains actively involved in the Toronto Chapter on a daily basis.

Having been raised in a family afflicted with PKD (both his mother and grandmother have this disease), he learned at a very young age, the importance of self-advocacy and sharing one's PKD journey with friends, family and the media in order to generate as much attention as possible for PKD and organ donation awareness.

This presentation is part of an ongoing series of two-hour informational support meetings hosted by the Hamilton Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada. They are open to the public, free of charge and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Local street parking (free) and hospital parking (payment required) is available.

The international day was proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1966 when the Assembly called upon the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. Canada was one of the first countries to support the March 21 initiative, launching its first annual campaign against racial discrimination in 1989. HCCI is committed to working with our community partners to eradicate racism and create a welcoming and inclusive community.

The McMaster Public Intellectuals Project is proud to present a very special evening with Angela Y. Davis.

Through activism and scholarship over many decades, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice.

Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

This free public lecture will be followed by a book signing by Angela Davis.

Tactical Urbanism Design Charerette - presentations

HBSA presents Mike Lydon from The Street Plans Collaborative in New York City (http://streetplans.org) in a design workshop for Hamilton about TACTICAL URBANISM. Tactical Urbanism projects are typically small scale or short term, strategic projects designed to test or temporarily deploy urban design strategies and ideas.

Increasingly, innovative cities and citizens are turning to temporary or short term interventions that test bigger ideas about urban life, street life and how we build Cities.

Tactical Urbanism takes a deliberate activist approach to instigate change. The projects are typically short term projects offering local solutions to local challenges. Tactical Urbanism proposes low-risk interventions with the potential for a high reward, that builds “social capital” between neighbours, communities, businesses and with the City.

The Hamilton Burlington Society of Architects is organizing a Design Charrette to explore the possibilities of Tactical Urbanism in Hamilton. Earlier in the day, Mike Lydon will provide an introduction and guidance to a group of design professionals, business leaders, politicians, community leaders, activists, and interested citizens. Several locations in Hamilton will be selected and teams will be provided with an afternoon to imagine what is possible on that site. At 4pm we will be presenting the results of the charrette. All are welcome!

The Polycystic Liver: Webinar & Talk

  • Date: Sunday, May 26, 2013
  • Time: 2pm-4pm
  • Location: St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Juravinski Tower, Classroom B
  • Address: 50 Charlton Avenue East (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Hamilton Chapter Coordinator
  • Email: hamiltonchapter@endpkd.ca
  • Phone: 1-877-410-1741

A polycystic liver can be a part of a Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) diagnosis. This free webinar and talk will help you understand what causes the polycystic liver, its effects, and how to manage the disease.

The Hamilton Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada is pleased to present a webinar by Dr. Marie Hogan of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, followed by a talk by two-time liver transplant recipient Jan Robertson, Co-Founder of The PKD Foundation of Canada.

“Polycystic Kidney Disease can affect multiple organs in a PKD patient and many individuals in the PKD Community suffer from liver involvement specifically,” Jeff Robertson, Executive Director of The PKD Foundation of Canada, said.

The two-hour informational meeting on May 26, to be held in Classroom B in the Juravinski Tower at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, will also feature PKD patient Jan Robertson, who will share her personal experience of living with a polycystic liver and the processes involved in her two life-saving liver transplants.

“Mrs. Robertson has been a leading voice in the fight against Polycystic Kidney Disease for well over 30 years and it is our pleasure to welcome her as a guest speaker at this Hamilton Chapter meeting,” Jeff Robertson added.

Jan was diagnosed with PKD in 1980, when little was known about this disease and she has been a leading advocate for the PKD community ever since.

This presentation is part of an ongoing series of two-hour informational support meetings presented by the Hamilton Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada. They are open to the public, free of charge and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Local street parking (free) and hospital parking (payment required) is available.

The Hamilton Chapter of The PKD Foundation of Canada launched in July 2011. More information is available on the website.

Green Venture Meet and Greet Community BBQ

  • Location: Green Venture EcoHouse
  • Address: 22 Veevers Drive (Google Maps)

  • Email: gvcoop@gmail.com
  • Phone: 9055408787

Green Venture is hosting a community BBQ at our EcoHouse to unveil its revamped Community Garden and east Hamilton’s first public electric charging vehicle station. This free event will take place on Saturday, July 27, 2013 from 11am – 2pm and all are welcome. The Community Garden has moved to a plot system in which members of the community may buy their own plot for the summer for a nominal fee and harvest their own crop. New, informative signage has been added to the garden to foster a learning experience for plot holders, volunteers, and anyone who tours the garden. The new electric vehicle charging station is unique to this area of Hamilton and is available for the public to use. The average electric vehicle can drive 160-320 kilometres with one 4-8 hour charge at this station. Electric vehicles reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions entering our air through gas-powered vehicles and therefore play a part in reducing the impacts of climate change. Green Venture is a non-profit, community-based organization which strives to assist people in living more sustainably every day. Many outreach programs are offered across the spectrum of environmental issues, from green gardening tips to educational programming to sustainable water and energy usage. Staff members will be on hand at the community BBQ for anyone who has questions about our programs, products, upcoming events, and volunteer opportunities. BBQ options for vegetarians and vegans will be available and there will be a kid’s craft table.

Ralph Nader in Hamilton

  • Date: Wednesday, July 31, 2013
  • Time: 7:00pm to 8:00pm
  • Location: Sold out
  • Contact: Kerry
  • Email: events@princebooks.net
  • Phone: (905) 528-4508

For the past forty-five years RALPH NADER has challenged corporations, government agencies, and institutions to be more accountable to the public. In 1965, Unsafe at Any Speed changed the face of the automobile industry and made Ralph Nader a household name. As a result of his efforts, cars have more safety features. His lobbying and writing on the food industry insured that the food we buy is required to pass strict guidelines before reaching the consumer. One of his greatest achievements was the 1974 amendment to the American Freedom of Information Act that gave increased public access to government documents. This brought freedom of press to a new level, resulting in increased access for journalists. Ralph Nader has co-founded numerous public interest groups including Public Citizen, Critical Mass, Commercial Alert, and the Center for Study of Responsive Law. Nader today continues to be a relentless force for grassroots activism and democratic change in the United States.

The column is the most natural literary form for a citizen’s advocate, and Ralph Nader may be its most robust and forceful practitioner. Told You So: The Big Book of Weekly Columns presents a panoramic portrait of the problems confronting our society and provides examples of the many actions an organized citizenry could and should take to create a more just and environmentally sustainable world. Drawing on decades of experience, Nader's columns document the consequences of concentrated corporate power; threats to our food, water and air; the corrosive effect of commercialism on our children; the dismantling of worker rights; and the attacks on our civil rights and civil liberties. Nader also offers concrete suggestions to spark citizen action and achieve social change.

RSVP REQUIRED as space is limited.

Prisoner Justice Day Demonstration

  • Date: Saturday, August 10, 2013
  • Time: 7:30pm
  • Location: Beasley Park

The 10th is Prisoner Justice Day , a day where imprisoned people across Canada unite every year for a hunger strike and a refusal to work. This is done in remembrance of those who had fought and died for the most basic rights imaginable. Gains that had been won in the past but are now all but lost.

So join us this prisoner justice day as we march on the Barton Jail in support of family, friends and those stolen from our community. This is a family friendly event. Meet @ the Beasley Park fountain, bring signs, banners and noise makers!

Free Talk on Aneurysms and Polycstic Kidney Disease

  • Date: Sunday, September 22, 2013
  • Time: 2pm-4pm
  • Location: St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Juravinski Tower, Campbell Auditorium
  • Address: 50 Charlton Avenue East (Google Maps)
  • Contact: S. Mackenzie-Morrison, Hamilton Chapter Coordinator
  • Email: hamiltonchapter@endpkd.ca
  • Phone: 1-877-410-1741

Topic: Brain Aneurysms and Polycystic Kidney Disease

When: September 22nd

Where: St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Campbell Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Juravinski Innovation Tower, 50 Charlton Avenue East

Speaker: Dr. Ivan Radovanovic

The incidence of aneurysms among Polycystic Kidney Disease patients is higher than in the general population. According to Dr. Radovanovic, understanding the genetics may improve stroke prevention for all.

"ADPKD patients need to be aware of their increased possibility of suffering a stroke due to a brain aneurysm and discuss screening for aneurysms with their doctor," said Shiona Mackenzie-Morrison, Hamilton Chapter Coordinator for The PKD Foundation of Canada. "We are extremely fortunate to have a renowned medical expert join us to share his knowledge about aneurysms at our September 22 meeting in St. Joseph's."

Dr. Radovanovic’s presentation will begin at 2pm.

According to Dr. Radovanovic, who joined the faculty of the Division of Neurosurgery at Toronto Western Hospital in January this year: “Understanding the natural history and the biology of aneurysms in Polycystic Kidney Disease is important not only for this specific group of patients but also for the understanding of cerebral aneurysms in general. Mutations involved in PKD are one of the very few hints we have to start addressing the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the vessel wall pathology leading to aneurysm formation.”

His presentation is part of an ongoing series of two-hour informational support meetings hosted by the Hamilton Chapter of The PKD Foundation of Canada. They are open to the public, free of charge and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Local street parking (free) and hospital parking (payment required) is available. Registration is not required. Please see The PKD Foundation of Canada website for more information.

Master Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, RED is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting. It is a fascinating exploration into the life of an angry and brilliant mind.

Nortesur is an emerging theatre and film production company founded with the intent to create great stories that speak to our times. Led by acclaimed Director Mel Aravena (2012 Hamilton Fringe Festival- BETRAYAL, 2013 Hamilton Fringe Festival- DEATH AND THE MAIDEN) and a skilled cast and crew, our team is passionate about this show and how it speaks about the role of art, and the artist as visionary and worker in our culture and society.

FAUXtography: An Exhibition

  • Date: Friday, November 08, 2013
  • Time: 7-10pm
  • Location: Centre 3 for Print and Media Arts
  • Address: 173 James St. N. (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Dave Heidebrecht
  • Email: dwheidebrecht@gmail.com
  • Phone: 905 741 4083

This is the opening night of FAUXtography, an exhibition by Dave Heidebrecht.

The first photograph was taken in 1825. By the end of 2013 there will be over 1.4 billion smartphones in use worldwide. The smartphone-based photo-sharing app Instagram, launched in October 2010 already boasts over 16 billion photos posted by some 150 million users. From artform to the mundane, from scandals to selfies, the digital revolution has put a camera in the palm of one in five people on earth. Photography has never been as accessible as it is now.

What happens when we are all photographers? How do 1.4 billion tiny screens in the palms of 1.4 billion hands redefine our relationships with ourselves, our friends and family, and the world around us? Do we value images more now than ever before, or has our value for the photograph disappeared completely? What have we lost? What have we gained? What happens when our digital history is laid out before us? Unable to click, like, tap, or tweet, how does it feel to once again hold a photograph between our fingertips?

Framed within the ever-changing landscape that is the human condition, FAUXtography challenges us to step back, look up from our smartphones, and re-engage. With ourselves. With each other. With the world around us.

ACTiON: : Accelerating the Commercialization of Technology and Ideas in ONtario

  • Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013

  • Contact: Nik Jewel, Conference Chair
  • Email: actionconferenceontario@gmail.com

Our Mission

The ACTION Conference wants to inspire Canadians to take ACTION with their ideas and be disruptive! We want to develop their awareness of the entrepreneurial process and provide them the requisite skills to genuinely innovate. Lastly, we want to connect like-minded individuals so that their ideas can cross-pollinate and grow.

Description of Conference

ACTION is an initiative spearheaded by students to develop entrepreneurial capabilities and attitudes within a diverse audience. We will provide a framework to venture creation that will allow individuals, regardless of their discipline, to leverage what they have learned through work and education, generate ideas, and scale their solutions. While ACTION is focused on technology commercialization, it is by no means limited to it. True innovation is not sequestered, and often the ideas with the greatest impact are cross-disciplinary in nature. It is our hope to bring a wide variety of people together, have them make connections, and inspire them to go out and disrupt the status quo.

Virtual Keynote Address: Catarina de Albuquerque, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation

Panelists: Dr. Nancy Doubleday; Dr. Ross Pink; Mr. Paul General

In 2010, the United Nations declared access to water and sanitation a human right. Despite this declaration and the efforts of many NGOs and governments around the world 780 million people remain without access to improved sources of drinking water, with 653 million of them living in rural areas. Water and sanitation are strongly linked to hygiene and together they comprise WaSH (water supply, sanitation and hygiene). There is a critical need, both in Canada and globally, to address WaSH problems in rural, remote communities in order to improve health and wellbeing

In 2015, the Millennium Development Goals – a set of global targets ushered in with the new millennium designed to eradicate poverty around the world – will end. What will the global leaders choose as the next set of targets post-2015? With climate change, continued inequity in access to established human rights, global economic issues and widespread conflict in parts of the world, these goals will be important for steering a future where change is the only certainty. This presentation will focus on the post-2015 agenda intergovernmental processes while reflecting on the lessons learned from the Millennium Development Goals and the broader role of water, especially with regard to agricultural management.

PLAY SYNOPSIS:

The plot centres around Steve, the videogame-obsessed manager of the fast food restaurant, Chicken’s Hit Wings. Upon receiving news that his star employee has decided to quit without notice, Steve is forced to hire Candice, an attractive combo-savvy customer, on the spot to fill his place. When Steve finally thinks he has everything under control, he learns that head office will be shutting down his restaurant location in order to build a more profitable fast food chicken establishment (JFC) down the road. Throughout the summer, Steve tries to keep the restaurant afloat, but will Chicken’s Hit Wings survive the wrath of corporate greed and domination?


CHARACTERS TO BE CAST:

STEVE (MALE, EARLY TO MID TWENTIES) - The manager at Chicken’s Hit Wings. Eccentric and nerdy. Believes in love, honesty, and restaurant sanitation. Has never had much of a social life due to his passion for videogame development. He often will spend his Saturday evenings playing World of Warcraft until 2am or building a new character costume for the next Comicon convention. Has has never had a real girlfriend (but has made many attractive female avatars online!).

CANDICE (FEMALE, EIGHTEEN TO MID TWENTIES) - The new girl at Chicken's Hit Wings who possesses a Girl-Next-Door appeal. Is a vegan with an Art degree. She believes that learning to live sustainably is one of the most important lessons of our time. Is passionate about education, living a healthy lifestyle, and being kind to her fellow neighbour. Took the job at Chicken’s Hit Wings because she was broke and couldn’t find a job anywhere else.

PHIL (MALE, EARLY TO MID TWENTIES) - The stoner employee at Chicken's Hit Wings who is Steve's best friend in the restaurant. Is a big fan of getting high and watching Lord of the Rings, the Walking Dead, or Beetlejuice. Works at Chicken’s Hit Wings because 1) Steve asked him to and 2) He gets free food when he has the munchies. Is often told that he is reminiscent of Keanu Reeves as Ted in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”.

RANDY (MALE, EARLY TWENTIES TO LATE THIRTIES) The perverted employee at Chicken's Hit Wings who loves anything and everyone with breasts (Chicken included). Has been working at Chicken’s Hit Wings since he was 17 years old and has no plans to move forward. He also still lives with his mother. Randy takes pride in his ability to turn any situation into a sexual innuendo, no matter how offensive.

KATIE (FEMALE, EARLY TO MID TWENTIES) - The "I hate life and am only working in here so I can get out of this town" employee at Chicken's Hit Wings. A radical feminist that is very sensitive to sexist comments and anything that may remotely disrespect the female gender. Often described as the "bitch" of the group, and as such, does not have that many friends. Loves early Alanis Morissette and Tori Amos. She has a love-hate relationship with the TV show “Girls”.

FIONA (FEMALE, EIGHTEEN TO MID TWENTIES) - The daddy's little rich girl employee at Chicken's Hit Wings who was forced to get a job after she crashed her father's convertible into the pool. Is the ultimate "airhead" stereotype who loves her cell phone, diamonds, pink, and all things sparkly. What she loves most of all, however, is My Little Pony. Fiona is a die-hard My Little Pony fan who has a popular Tumblr account based on “Brony” culture. She knows all of the My Little Pony inside-jokes, and has created several popular My Little Pony Memes that have gone viral on the internet.

BOB RATTINSON (MALE, EARLY TO MID TWENTIES) - British movie star of the famous Highlight vampire teen film series. Very much into his image, spirituality, and helping the less fortunate as a means to benefit his image. Recently completed his first round of rehab. His party-hard superstar girlfriend, however, was not very supportive of his recovery and chose to publicly cheat on him in front of the paparazzi. This, in turn, led to a nasty breakup fight both in-person and in the tabloids. Rob remains broken-hearted.

CHICKITA THE DANCING CHICKEN/DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER/SCREAMING TEENAGE FAN (FEMALE EIGHTEEN TO MID TWENTIES) - CHICKITA: A parody hen that provides hilarious dancing and singing support during all musical numbers. Adores fast food, a good-value combo, and song. DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER: A hungry customer who is treated poorly by Chicken’s Hit Wings Staff and retaliates by leaving the restaurant and flipping off the staff. SCREAMING FAN: Wishes she was Bella in the Highlight vampire teen series just so she could feel what it would be like to be abstinent with the super-hot Rob Rattinson (aka Edlord Cullen).

Top 4 reasons to attend:

You care · You are passionate about riding your bike and even more passionate about the idea of attracting more people to ride. You know the need and the benefits and you’re concerned about the future. You belong in a room with bike-minded folks.

  You represent people who care (and people who don’t care).

· You are in a position where you can make decisions or influence decisions when it comes to policies that move people. You want to act on the best knowledge we have available today.

You’re curious. · Time to test your knowledge in a safe place. You have formed your own ideas, and now you want to see how that aligns with peers, the Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18, and studies that, for example compare what people prefer to ride on and what is actually safer to ride on. You’re an expert. · You know cycling is a simple solution to some of the world’s most complex problems… and you also know that selecting a cycling facility is not as simple as it seems. Be part of the conversation and share your wisdom and experience.

Please contact Denis Farr if you have any questions relating to the event:

  • Location: McMaster University - TwelvEighty pub
  • Address: 1280 Main Street West Hamilton, Ontario (Google Maps)

DemoCamp is an event format that involves a keynote speaker, about 5 software demos which each consist of 5 minutes of actually demoing the software and 5 minutes of Q&A, followed by general socializing with the good company in attendance.

Keynote

Karl Wiklund - R&D Manager at VitaSound

Karl Wiklund received his B.Eng.Scty, M.A.Sc, and Ph.D. degrees from McMaster University. His research work has focused on signal processing and machine learning, specifically with respect to the auditory system. Currently, he is R&D Manager for VitaSound Audio, a Hamilton-based hearing devices company. Prior to joining VitaSound, he worked as a research contractor for Defence Research and Development Canada in addition to other organizations. He has also worked with the Sonar Signal Processing group at Defence Research Establishment Atlantic in Dartmouth, NS.

Demos

Demo 1 Remote printer for e-commerce by Reed Zao. Reed's previous project required a cheap & reliable printer to send order notification to restaurants. After exhausted all avenues, he couldn't find a provider of such a printer. Therefore Reed decided to make his own hardware. Now a remote printer with developer-friendly API and simple usage is ready for anyone who has novel ideas.

Demo 2 With over 45,000 users and 740 sites, Global 1000 companies have adopted VIZIYA's WorkAlign® products for their world-class maintenance organizations. VIZIYA's newest product is a mobile application and, unlike most mobile solutions in this market which are custom development projects with high costs and long implementations, the VIZIYA WorkAlign® Mobile product is "out of the box and ready to go."

Demo 3 Dan Zen will demonstrate his latest mobile mediated experience - a multiuser application called Droner! Droner lets you control your friends (or be controlled) and is available for free on the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores. The app makes use of in-app purchases and features the Robin Multiuser Server initially built by Zen and reprogrammed in NodeJS by Andrew Blackbourn. NodeJS is up and running on Amazon EC2. The interface is in Flash AIR - marketing site here: http://droner.mobi Grab the app before the demo and control Dan Zen on stage!

Demo 4 MacSMS provides instant access to information such as weather conditions and alerts, bus timings and more. It's a free service that works without wifi or data.

Demo 5 "We’re up….we’re live…and yes, we’re looking for #HamOnt businesses who need some seed money. FundHamOnt is a crowdfunding platform or portal where people who want to raise money for their #HamOnt centred startup can create fundraising Campaigns to tell their story and get the word out. Got a new cupcake bakery opening up on James St North and need funds? Pick us! Got a software app for the iStore and need some capital to add an Android version too? Pick us! Need a new kiln for your pottery business or want to finance a trip to Montreal for an art conference? We can help…no matter what the need, if you’re a Hamilton based business or citizen looking for crowdfunding….we’d love to help!"

Demo 6 McMaster Game Development Association (MacGDA) will demo an early build of a video game the group has been creating together.

Our first relationship in life is with our mother. She is our foundation and the relationship to her is the most important one for all children. We learn about relating from the intimate interaction and bond that we have with our mother. Mothers are everything for us when we are small...our lives revolve around her. For everything that we need we call mother. To protect us from all perceivable dangers we want her around us. To take us out we hold her arms. She is the focal point of our lives, the greatest human being in the world or should we say divinity on earth. On the special occasion pay tribute to your mother - the greatest blessing of God on you. There is simply no way we can ever really thank mother for all she has done for us. She is the one who will be awake all night when we are sick. Praying to God to make us well and be ever ready to bear the pain that we may be experiencing. She is the one to wake up early in the morning to make the nicest Tiffin. They would cook all sorts of things so that we be strong and healthy. Mothers infect, worry more for our examinations than we must. They would take pains to complete our school projects leaving all other works behind while we play around with friends or just while away time watching movies. Mothers are the superheroes, the hospitals, the finest five star restaurants, the nurturer, and the one that children can turn to at any given time. Mothers have the most challenging and the most rewarding job in the world. To be a mother means commitment and sacrifice, the greatest of commitment and sacrifice. Mother’s day is a momentous occasion that celebrates motherhood. So, it is fitting that one holds a special day party to celebrate in most fitting way possible. Mothers toil day and night and sacrifice much of their lives for their young ones. It is therefore a great thing to celebrate this special day in the company of your mother and other family members. It is all for a worthy and memorable occasion. Make your mother feel special on this day every year. Gifting each other on festivals is another way of showing importance for each other. Different online site provides a lot of different gifts for every different occasion like Marriage, Birthday, Anniversary, and Father’s day, Mother’s Day, Valentines Day.

Tragedy in the Commons: Former Members of Parliment Speak Out About Canada's Failing Democracy

  • Date: Tuesday, May 06, 2014
  • Time: 6:30pm
  • Location: McMaster University Medical Centre, Room 1A4
  • Address: 1200 Main Street West, Hamilton (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Kerry
  • Email: events@princebooks.net
  • Phone: (905) 528-4508

In "Tragedy in the Commons", Alison Loat and Michael MacMillan, founders of the non-partisan think tank Samara, draw on an astonishing eighty exit interviews with former MPs from across the political spectrum to unearth surprising observations about the practice of politics in Canada.

Though Canada is at the top of international rankings of democracies, Canadians themselves increasingly don’t see politics as a way to solve society’s problems. Small wonder. In the news, they see grandstanding in the House of Commons and MPs pursuing agendas that don’t always make sense to the people who elected them.

But elected officials make critical choices about how this wildly diverse country functions today and how it will thrive in the future. They direct billions of dollars in public funding and craft the laws that have allowed Canada to lead the way internationally. Even with so much at stake, citizens—voters—are turning away. How did one of the world’s most functional democracies go so very wrong?

Join us for an engaging discussion and book signing with authors, Alison Loat and Michael MacMillan.

Sponsored by: Bryan Prince Bookseller and OPIRG McMaster. Free, everyone welcome.

Garden Farming for Post-carbon living

  • Date: Saturday, July 05, 2014
  • Time: 10am to 2pm
  • Location: Old 99 Farm
  • Address: 1580 Old Hwy 99 (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Rebecca Hodges
  • Email: rebecca@efao.ca
  • Phone: 519.836.7046 ext 105

On his 20 acre "Old 99 Farm " near Dundas Ontario, Ian Graham, 60, started in 2007 to create an intensive, livestock based garden farm, applying permaculture practices that respond to the perfect storm he believes is already here; the end of the ‘oil age’, climate upset, peak phosphorous, ecocidal industrial farming and species extinction. He started in 2007 integrating livestock (cattle, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pigs), extended season vegetable production, orchards and perennial food crops. You can see a case study of Old 99 Farm in Bane's The Permaculture Handbook, Garden Farming for Town and Country. Acutely aware of the challenges the current generation of farmers will face, Ian is eager to share his thoughts on how we must farm and live differently, while learning to live within the earth’s limits.

This field day will be a great chance to discussion about the challenges and opportunities of small scale and urban farming in the Age of Limits and to see how one adult onset beginning farmer is doing it!

  • Date: Sunday, July 13, 2014
  • Time: 2:00pm
  • Location: Corktown Park
  • Contact: Reuben Vanderkwaak
  • Email: reuben@pedalpoweredfamily.com
  • Phone: 905-818-1883

On July 13th Kidical Mass lands on the same day as Open Streets Hamilton! We'll aim to head down James Street this month as it will be closed to vehicular traffic. The highlight will be stopping off at a bike-decorating station before parading through Open Streets as a group in style!

Kidical Mass is a safe, law-abiding, informal and fun family-oriented group bicycle ride. We usually ride a 5-8km loop on quiet city streets with a break in the middle for a snack or ice cream. All family members are welcome - bring your bike seats, trailers, tag-alongs and cargo bikes (and your friends)!

Meet at Corktown park - ride leaves at 2pm.

The original Kidical Mass website from the ride that started it all in Eugene, Oregon: www.kidicalmass.org

Note: All parents or guardians are responsible for the safety and supervision of their own child during the ride. Helmets required.

Vampires! Pirates! Chicken? Fast Food Love: The Musical! is a musical for people who… well, don’t like musicals!

Come on out for a greasy good time and celebrate this non-traditional show. Cluck the System.

SYNOPSIS:

The plot centres around Steve, the videogame-obsessed manager of the fast food restaurant, Chicken’s Hit Wings. Upon receiving news that his star employee has decided to quit without notice, Steve is forced to hire Candice, an attractive combo-savvy customer, on the spot to fill his place. When Steve finally thinks he has everything under control, he learns that head office will be shutting down his restaurant location in order to build a more profitable fast food chicken establishment (JFC) down the road. Throughout the summer, Steve tries to keep the restaurant afloat, but will Chicken’s Hit Wings survive the wrath of corporate greed and domination?

Storm and Silence at the Hamilton Fringe Festival

  • Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2014
  • Time: 7:30pm
  • Location: Citadel Theatre
  • Address: 28 Rebecca Street, Hamilton, ON (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Lisa Emmons
  • Email: info@leform.ca
  • Phone: 416-432-8816

Storm and Silence plays at the Citadel Theatre in Hamilton from July 17th-27th.

Two work evening of dance, movement, theatre and potent imagery.

I:SOLO (10 min): Utilizing contemporary movements and dance I:Solo explores our insatiable need for expression within the confines of our humanity.

STORM and SILENCE (40 min): A mosaic of spoken word, live music, movement and contemporary dance. The work is inspired by the life of Lorelei, a professional dancer living in Germany during WWII and the GDR era. Forced to abandon her profession, Lorelei escapes into the Elbe River and enters a mythological world of loss and death that invites spectators to consider that we have no better task than to take pleasure in our lives and pursue our passions.

Storm and Silence invites its audiences to question definitions of power, control, longing, pleasure, freedom and escape. How do we find pleasure? Who are our oppressors? Where do we escape? At what cost? ? Choreography by Lisa Emmons and Mateo Galindo Torres

Text and Dramaturgy by James Farrington

Storm and Silence plays at the Citadel Theatre in Hamilton from July 17th-27th.

Two work evening of dance, movement, theatre and potent imagery.

I:SOLO (10 min): Utilizing contemporary movements and dance I:Solo explores our insatiable need for expression within the confines of our humanity.

STORM and SILENCE (40 min): A mosaic of spoken word, live music, movement and contemporary dance. The work is inspired by the life of Lorelei, a professional dancer living in Germany during WWII and the GDR era. Forced to abandon her profession, Lorelei escapes into the Elbe River and enters a mythological world of loss and death that invites spectators to consider that we have no better task than to take pleasure in our lives and pursue our passions.

Storm and Silence invites its audiences to question definitions of power, control, longing, pleasure, freedom and escape. How do we find pleasure? Who are our oppressors? Where do we escape? At what cost? ? Choreography by Lisa Emmons and Mateo Galindo Torres

Text and Dramaturgy by James Farrington

Vampires! Pirates! Chicken? Fast Food Love: The Musical! is a musical for people who… well, don’t like musicals! We cover the three big Ls: Love, Loss, and Laughs (layered with plenty of sci-fi, pop-culture, and geek satire). Did we mention there was a talking chicken? Come on out for a greasy good time and celebrate this non-traditional show. Cluck the System.

SYNOPSIS:

The plot centres around Steve, the videogame-obsessed manager of the fast food restaurant, Chicken’s Hit Wings. Upon receiving news that his star employee has decided to quit without notice, Steve is forced to hire Candice, an attractive combo-savvy customer, on the spot to fill his place. When Steve finally thinks he has everything under control, he learns that head office will be shutting down his restaurant location in order to build a more profitable fast food chicken establishment (JFC) down the road. Throughout the summer, Steve tries to keep the restaurant afloat, but will Chicken’s Hit Wings survive the wrath of corporate greed and domination?

John is the manager of outreach for Samara and is focused on developing partnerships and programs that reach and engage Canadians. Previously John worked for Pathways to Education developing and leading academic support programs for students who faced academic challenges.

Louder Than A Bomb Canada was officially launched on May 2nd 2014, engaging over 600 young adults who attended, performed, volunteered and supported the event at an event that created a safe space for community building, education, and youth empowerment. We are proud that we were able to keep the event free and accessible for our first year and look forward to another awe-inspiring celebration of youth voices. Our aim this year is to engage students year-round by providing schools and community groups with teaching artists and mentors needed to form poetry clubs where students get together to write and practice their poetry pieces and prepare for Louder Than A Bomb Canada 2015.

Student tickets: $20 include an afternoon workshop/taxes fees. Available at Bryan Prince Bookseller (905) 528-4508 Adult Tickets: $20 plus tax/fees available from Ticketmaster

Celebrate National Co-op Week at The Mustard Seed

  • Date: Friday, October 17, 2014
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: The Mustard Seed (outdoors!)
  • Address: 460 York Blvd., near Locke (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Emma Cubitt
  • Email: emma@mustardseed.coop

Come learn about the co-operative movement at this special National Co-op Week event, sponsored by The Mustard Seed! The first hour will include presentations from Kerr Smith of On-Coop (entitled “From Beards to Eternity: Our Co-operative History”) and Mustard Seed member Daniel Haartman on the history and importance of the co-operative movement. Other new & emerging co-ops in Hamilton will also have a chance to share their stories.

Following that, we will have a screening of the 2012 film "The Rochdale Pioneers" (60 mins), from the Cooperative British Youth Film Academy. The tale is particularly powerful as from these somewhat humble and unassuming beginnings it is estimated that there are now 1.4 million individual co-operative enterprises globally securing the livelihoods of over three billion people!

Food and drinks will be available (for a small cost) at The Mustard Seed. The event will be held rain or shine, and is intended to take place at an outdoor screening at The Mustard Seed – so please dress accordingly and bring a chair and a blanket!

Note: this is a free event!

About our speakers: Kerr Smith joined On Co-op in 2010, and in his role as Education Manager has created, written and illustrated the “All 4 Each” Co-operative Education unit which has been distributed across North America. Kerr won the 2012 ACE William Hlushko Award for Young Co-operative Educators, and in 2013 his workshop entitled “From Beards to Eternity: Our Co-operative History” was awarded “Best Presentation” by the Co-operative Communicator’s Association.

Daniel Haartman is a graduate of the Co-operative Management Certificate program at the Schulich School of Business at York University. Dan is especially passionate about the cultural mentoring aspects that worker co-ops use to regenerate. He is in the process of co-creating a machine shop, which in addition to developing machinery for a better world, will make the intangible aspects of positive psychology become tangible through sharing hands on skills; daniel.haartman@culturalmentoring.ca.

Startup Weekend Maker's Edition

  • Date: Friday, November 21, 2014
  • Time: 6:30pm
  • Location: Mohawk College
  • Address: 135 Fennel Avenue West (Google Maps)

The first ever Maker Edition of Startup Weekend Hamilton is happening on November 21st-23rd at Mohawk College. Startup Weekend events are 54-hour weekend long events during which groups of makers, hackers, students, developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more pitch ideas for new startup companies, form teams around those ideas, and work to develop a working prototype, demo, or presentation by Sunday evening where a panel of judges will select a wining team.

While Hamilton has hosted four previous Startup Weekend events since 2011, this will be our first ever Maker’s Edition that is focused on creating physical products. Imagine designing and creating 3D printed products, Arduino based micro-controllers, wearables, robots and the endless hardware startup possibilities. Hamilton is a city with a legacy in manufacturing great physical products – it’s time to bring the ambition back with a 21st century spin!

The winners of the event will receive a prize package courtesy of Mohawk College, the details of which will be announced soon. Those who place first will also have the opportunity to compete in the Global Startup Battle for up to $500,000 in prizes, gain international exposure, and showcase the best of the Hamilton startup scene. The Global Startup Battle was previously won by McMaster students Matt Gardner and Jason Moore as part of Groupnotes (now co-founders of Videostream which has 575k users). We want to see another Hamilton team take home the top prize!

Join us on November 21st – 23rd for the first ever Startup Weekend Hamilton Maker’s Edition!

As a responsible consumer or concerned citizen, you’re doing your best to lighten your ecological footprint and live a sustainable life. As a business purchaser or marketer, you understand how important Corporate Social Responsibility is to your brand image, to your employees and your customers. You’re doing your best to ensure your products or services are offering credible, sustainable benefits.

But there’s a catch: how do you know if that "green" product is really as sustainable as the advertising or packaging claims? How do you tell genuine “green” marketing claims apart from false or misleading “greenwashing?” As a business, how do you avoid the sin of greenwashing?

Join Sustainable Hamilton and our panel of sustainability marketing experts to find out how, as they offer a guide to navigating the murky world of green marketing claims. Learn how to make more informed, sustainable purchasing choices. As a business, learn how your marketing claims can help drive sustainable behaviour and a stronger brand.

Second, the group will car pool down to Desjardins Canal for a look at winter waterfowl species present there. Thirdly, the group will car pool up to Fallsview Road at Dyment's Farm for a look at winter field species such as the Snow Bunting, Horned Lark, and hopefully a Lapland Longspur or two if they decide to migrate here this year. (Additional hotspots may be added or substituted for the outing depending on how the 2015 winter birding season pans out.)

Meet at: parking lot of Olympic Park Ice Surface Area, 70 Olympic Drive, Dundas.

For those wishing to arrive by transit, the nearest stops do not have busses operating on Saturday. The nearest operating stop is at Cootes Drive and East Street, via the "52 Delaware/Dundas" bus. You will then need to walk east on Cootes Drive, to the Olympic Drive intersection, then head north up Olympic Drive until you reach the Ice Surface. Alternatively, you could also walk from McMaster University down Cootes Drive to Olympic Drive.

As independent sectors and through their inextricable linkages, water and energy are key drivers of economic growth and social development. Together, water and energy can promote stable societies and human dignity as well as realize basic human rights. However, significant advances are required in policy, research, and practice to realize the benefits of this nexus. Specifically, there needs to be policy prioritization, technology mobilization, and investment shifts within and between both sectors. Ultimately, a dedicated water goal in the post-2015 development agenda, with key interlinked targets in the energy goal, is essential to achieving a sustainable future.

When? Tuesday March 10, 2015

Time? 6:00pm (Reception) 7:00pm (Lecture)

Where? McMaster Innovation Park 175 Longwood Road South Hamilton, ON. L8P 0A1

Admission Cost? Absolutely free!

CBC Radio's Nora Young

  • Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2015
  • Time: 7:00 PM
  • Location: Burlington Public Library Central Branch
  • Address: 2331 New Street (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Craig
  • Email: loguec@bpl.on.ca
  • Phone: 905-639-3611x. 1321

The host of CBC Radio's "Spark" explores the very real impact of the virtual information we generate about ourselves--on our own lives, our communities, and our government. We generate enormous amounts of online data about our habits: where we go, what we do, and how we feel. Some of that is stuff we choose to report; some of it is the offhand data trails we leave behind.

Nora Young's "The Virtual Self" looks at the debates and challenges around virtual data-sharing--from Facebook status updates to Google Navigator--and its potential for building more responsive communities and governments.

The Escarpment Project Annual Clean-up for 2015 takes place on Sunday April 26 at 11 AM.

The Escarpment Project Annual Clean-up was started on Sept 14 2011 and quickly erupted to become the largest volunteer environmental clean up in Hamilton and one of the largest of its kind in Canada. People of all ages gather at various locations along the escarpment in Hamilton to revitalize the forest and help return it to its natural splendour by removing litter & debris that has been dumped and left there, in some cases for years and even decades.

Students are able to get community service hours for helping. Click for more info.

People can do many things including: Clean up litter, help hand out supplies, hike and video tape the clean up. You can stay and help for as long or short of a time as you like. All help is appreciated. Even if you just come for moral support. If you will be video taping please just email us the footage you would like us to use in the clean up documentary or put it on a USB stick and allow us to copy it. We will return the USB stick.

  • Time: 7:00pm
  • Location: Bryan Prince Bookseller
  • Address: 1060 King Street West, Hamilton (Google Maps)

  • Phone: (905) 528-4508

When acclaimed Montreal author Deni Béchard learned of the last living bonobos — matriarchal great apes which are, alongside chimpanzees, our closest relatives — he was astonished. How could we accept the disappearance of this majestic species, along with the rainforest it calls home?

Determined not to sit by and do nothing, Béchard began investigating the problems facing the bonobos — industrial and urban encroachment, aggressive resource extraction by foreign companies, the civil war and genocide which had wreaked havoc on the Congo intermittently for more than a century, the trade in bush-meat — and in the process discovered one small organization, the Bonobo Conservation Institute, which had done more to save the bonobos than many much larger organizations.

In BCI Béchard recognized a unique post-colonial model for conservation initiatives which, if replicated, might provide one of the only hopes for making the world a far better and more equitable place.

Part polemic, part travelogue, part natural history, "The Last Bonobo: A Journey Into the Congo" offers a moving story of how a few committed people can affect great and lasting change.

Deni Béchard is the author of Vandal Love, which won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and Cures for Hunger, an IndieNext pick for best memoir/biography in 2012. He has written for the LA Times, Outside, Foreign Policy, Salon.com, Maisonneuve, and The Harvard Review and has travelled to more than 60 countries.

This is a free event, everyone welcome.

In, "Letters To My Grandchildren", his most important book since "The Sacred Balance" and his most personal ever, revered environmentalist David Suzuki draws on his experiences and wisdom gained over his life to pass on to future generations. Now an elder, this series of letters offers grandfatherly advice mixed with reflections from his and Canada’s past, and speaks personally and honestly about the future.

"Letters to My Grandchildren" provides us an intimate look at Suzuki’s life as a father and grandfather, and is full of stories about his own childhood. He challenges his grandchildren— and us—to do everything at full tilt and most of all, to live with courage and conviction.

DAVID SUZUKI is an internationally renowned geneticist, environmentalist, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation. He’s hosted the award-winning CBC program, The Nature of Things, for over thirty years and written more than 40 books, including those for children. He is the recipient of the Right Livelihood Award and has been named a Companion to the Order of Canada. He’s the proud grandfather of six grandchildren.

A New Urban Agenda

"The New Urban Agenda" with author, Bill Freeman

Politics in the Greater Toronto, Hamilton Area (GTHA) have become increasingly divisive over the past decade, and solutions to the city’s problems have become hot-topic issues debated in council and the press, but never finding resolution. The New Urban Agenda is equal parts history, social science, and call to action to solve the major problems facing the GTHA. Issues such as urban and suburban development, transit, the region’s environmental impact, affordable housing, and the seemingly inherent gridlock of municipal politics are all discussed. Award-winning author Bill Freeman offers a level-headed approach to the problems and lays out an agenda that will lead to an improvement in the quality of life in our neighbourhoods and downtowns and make our cities more economically viable. He encourages individuals and communities to speak up for themselves and get involved in politics at a grassroots level. With no shortage of examples, he shows how this strategy can create the change that is needed to move cities forward in a way that benefits everyone, not just the business and political elite.

Bill Freeman is a writer of eighteen books on Canadian life and urban issues. He was the script-writer for the popular Mighty Machines; television series for children. Two of his recent books won awards from Heritage Toronto. Bill holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from McMaster University, and is a past chair of the Writers' Union of Canada.

Free, everyone welcome. This event is part of WESTFEST 2015.

The Hamilton/Burlington Society of Architects will be holding in PARK(ing) Day Party – a form of Tactical Urbanism on September 18, 2015.

Recognizing that a metered parking spot is an inexpensive short-term lease for a plot of precious urban real estate, a Park(ing) Day Party highlights issues around public space, quality of public space and the amount of public space that is dedicated to cars. A parking space occupied by a car is not animated and contributes little to the street life of a city.

Park(ing) Day challenges inhabitants worldwide recognize the need for new approaches to making the urban landscape, and realize that converting small segments of the automobile infrastructure-even temporarily-can alter the character of the city. From public parks to free health clinics, from art galleries to demonstration gardens, Park(ing) Day participants have claimed the metered parking space as a rich new territory for creative experimentation and activism. For more information on PARK(ing) Day see the website - http://parkingday.org/

Under Kirk’s leadership, Wave has reached more than 1.3 million registered users, raised over $35 million in venture funding from top VCs in Silicon Valley, Boston and Toronto, and grown to a company of 70 team members.

Canstruction Hamilton

Canstruction Hamilton's inaugural event will be held on October 9, 2015 along James Street North.

Hamilton's canstruction will be a one-day collaborative and interactive event where individuals gather together to design and build can structures over the course of one day. Individuals will be sorted into teams on the morning of the event. Teams each receive the same "kit of parts" - a pallet of identical canned goods - and will work together to come up with a design for their structure. They will then have the rest of the day to build their can structure.

Once the can structures have been completed, we will tour all the structures along James North during October's Art Crawl, followed by a celebration of our efforts at the Spice Factory.

Structures will be left up for viewing by the community during Art Crawl and for the entire weekend. After this time, structures will be de-canstructed and food will be donated to Hamilton Food Share.

Lunch included!

Pumpkin Prowl Logo

It’s almost time for the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Prowl!

The 2nd Annual Pumpkin Prowl is being held on Saturday October 24th from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm.

Pumpkin Prowl is a Halloween event for families who, for various reasons (separation, divorce, work schedules, etc.), do not get to have Halloween together.

Watching your kids trick or treat is a memory that all parents cherish. Many parents and kids miss out on this special time together because of the way their family schedule happens to fall.

Pumpkin Prowl is an event that enables families to still have this time together by way of an "early Halloween".

Last year was the first time this event was held and it was quite a success. We had numerous houses participate and distribute candy to kids a week before Halloween.

Before the trick or treating starts, we have all the kids and their families meet at Belview Park where we play various games and activities. This year we have special guests in attendance to surprise and delight the kids as well as local business sponsorship's to cover the cost of candy for participating homes.

Local businesses that have sponsored the event thus far this year include: Penny Pincher Costumes Inc., Tattered and Torn Good Junque, Wick'd Wax Creations, Once Again Antiques and Curiosities, Out of the Basement Antiques and Collectibles, Kerry's Party for Less, St. Jacques Photography, Way Back When Historical Bridal Fashions, Prouse Pottery & Soap Co., Granny's Attic Treasures, Stardust Records, Fabricland, Oxford Mills, Bounty Hunter Toys, CD Auto, Revolution Records, and Revolving Closet.

**Walk-ins are welcome, but booking an audition appointment is advised.

For more information about Big Bang & Company, visit: http://bigbangcompany.wordpress.com/


PLAY SYNOPSIS:

No one gets between a man and his sandwich. For Herb, it’s a matter of hunger or death.

"I, Sandwich" explores the hilarious lengths a man will go in order to recover his missing lunchbox.


ROLES TO BE CAST:

HERB (MALE, 20s to 40s) - Herb is a quiet, awkward fellow that likes to keep to himself. While he works as a database administrator in a large office building, very few people seem to know he exists. Herb is a self-proclaimed foodie with a passion for the culinary arts. He spends most of his free time writing overly-detailed Yelp reviews.

DAN (MALE, 20s to 40s) – Dan is Herb’s boss at the office. Brash, arrogant, and invasive, Dan is a bully that uses intimidation to get what he wants. Most people in the office are either afraid of Dan, or think that he’s a jerk. Dan loves to pick on Herb, because seriously, who names their kid Herb?

On February 28th, 2006, in response to continuing encroachment of land, and after beginning with an informational campaign, a group of people from Six Nations blocked the development of the Douglas Creek Estates subdivision and reclaimed Kanonhstaton (loosely translated as “the protected place”). The reclamation was followed by racist backlash, often rooted in a refusal to acknowledge Six Nations rights to the land, and the history of land claims on the Haldimand tract. This documentary explores the history, events of the reclamation, the OPP raid, as well as backlash and racism.

The documentary will be followed by a debrief discussion facilitated by Dr. Rick Monture. All are welcome and admission is free. A light lunch will be provided.

This event is offered as part of the Perspectives on Peace campaign.

Sustainable Hamilton Burlington: Inspiring Organizational Change for Sustainability

The world’s most sustainable companies are transforming their own operations and inspiring others. They’ve created a culture where sustainability is simply “the way things are done here,” with employees who are engaged, productive and helping to drive positive change.

But how have they overcome the common barriers to change? What are the keys to successful employee engagement and organizational transformation?

Sustainable Hamilton Burlington has assembled a team of national and local sustainability leaders to answer these questions: to share best practices and their own company stories, and engage you in exercises to help with your own company's transformational journey.

Panel Discussion on Peace & Health

  • Date: Thursday, January 28, 2016
  • Time: 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
  • Location: McMaster University, Health Sciences Centre Room 4E20
  • Address: 1280 Main St West (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Teddy Saull
  • Email: saulles@mcmaster.ca
  • Phone: 905-525-9140x. 21556

What is the role of health care and health care practitioners in questions of peace and conflict? Public health is the first to suffer in war and civil conflict--the destruction of water and sewer systems, loss of electricity, wounding and suffering of civilians, disease and food shortages. Health care practitioners like Medecins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) have literally transcended conflicts and politics to care of populations most in need. Doctors, nurses, and other practitioners have created networks for cooperation, even between countries at war. In this panel, we consider how health and health care have been and can be a powerful force for peace and social justice. What is the role of health in solving global problems and issues? What is the effect of conflict on health and health systems? How can health care practitioners negotiate conflict, create peace? What are innovative strategies and histories of health care practitioners to promote and create peace? Peace is close to home as well as between nations--how can medicine promote peace in the family, the community, and in the individual as well?

Anne Niec: Violence too Close to Home. I will discuss conflict through the lens of family violence, recognizing that most violence occurs at home – what do we mean by this; what is its impact; what as health care providers can we do – recognition and action; and above all the role of compassion within ourselves and each other.

Harry Shannon: Reframing Health? The impact of political violence on Palestinians. I will summarize the results of several studies of Palestinians that I have worked on, looking at health effects of conflict. One particular question arises: should psychological responses to conflict be seen as ‘abnormal’ or are they normal responses to abnormal situations?

Mark Loeb: Conflict and Infectious Diseases. In order to fully appreciate how healthcare can serve as a powerful force for peace, it is important to understand what the health implications are in conflict situations. This presentation will describe the key enablers of the spread of potentially lethal infectious diseases in conflict situations and will describe what is required to mitigate the spread of outbreaks and treat affected persons. Such a broader understanding might help reduce the threat of conflict when the impact to the populations involved are fully understood.

Lisa Schwartz: Intervals of Peace during Conflict. How can patients and healthcare providers be protected in conflict zones? Just war theory has radicalized care, politicization of public health interventions has endangered the protections of the Geneva Convention, and Humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality have been misinterpreted in some contexts. Recent guidance proposes strategies which can enable aid access when peace is scarce.

Ellen Amster: Global Health vs. Inter-National Health as a Basis for Peace. Public health arose originally at the level of individual states, as a relationship between the citizen and the body politic. International health arose from WWI and WWII, but the WHO suffers from the same limitations as its birthplace, the UN. What are the limitations of international health and the promise of global health?

Where is HSC 4E20? Take Red elevators to the Fourth floor. After exiting elevator, go straight down the main corridor towards the Yellow section. The room is on the right hand side, between the red and yellow elevators.

For undergraduates interested in a peace and health field experience, McMaster is launching a new Interdisciplinary Global Health Field Course, "Maternal and Infant Health in Morocco", applications are open now! http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/morocco-maternal-health/index.html#

This event is offered as part of the Perspectives on Peace campaign.

Laureates of Peace Lecture: Protecting Human Rights in Conflict-Challenges

  • Date: Monday, February 29, 2016
  • Time: 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
  • Location: McMaster University, Great Hall, University Club
  • Address: 1280 Main St West (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Teddy Saull
  • Email: saulles@mcmaster.ca
  • Phone: 905-525-9140x. 21556

Presented by Alfred Orono Orono, United Nations

The protection of fundamental freedoms and human rights has been a concern of the United Nations since its inception. That concern has increasingly been heightened over the past decades with several conflicts raging in various parts of the world resulting in mass displacement and unseen before exodus of populations under desperate conditions in search of better lives. Women and children have borne the brunt of these conflicts and the need to protect them from the destructive impacts of conflict has never before been more germane. The challenges are enormous. Issues of prevention, monitoring and reporting of abuses and violations, and addressing impunity are measures that are readily deployable but nevertheless are challenges in their own right. The United Nations has responded in various ways and made its intentions clear through numerous Security Council Resolutions and Presidential statements. It has also established peacekeeping operations mandated to monitor and report on violations of human rights, and has established international criminal tribunals to bring to account perpetrators of gross violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. This lectures seeks to engage the public on the discussion as to whether or not the efforts so far exerted by the international community in addressing these global problems is sufficient and if not what provide an opportunity for the public to explore more methods of addressing these issues.

This public lecture is offered as part of the Perspectives on Peace campaign.

The public is cordially invited to attend. There is no admission fee, but a free-will offering will be appreciated to cover expenses. A reception will follow.

Hope is the fundamental belief that we cling to in times of trauma and despair. In her book, Rev. Dr. McCarroll takes us on an engaging and optimistic exploration of hope in difficult times. Through detailed and poignant case studies, she introduces five facets of hope, followed by a discourse of the possibilities and limitations of each approach.

Rev. Dr. McCarroll is a certified teaching supervisor in clinical pastoral education, Canadian Association of Spiritual Care (CASC), and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. She earned her PhD in theology through Toronto School of Theology, the University of St. Michael’s College and is currently an associate professor of pastoral theology, Knox College, Toronto. Born in Prince Rupert, B.C., she grew up in Hamilton before moving to Toronto where she currently resides.

Proverbs 24:34...”Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: if you find it there is a future for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”

DO THE MATH SCREENING AND PRESENTATION

The Do The Math movie is a 42-minute documentary film about the rising movement to change the terrifying math of the climate crisis and challenge the fossil fuel industry. The film looks at our carbon budget and the implications for our pensions and savings.

Our remaining global carbon budget is estimated to be 500 billion tons. As the major oil, coal and gas producers have over five times that amount in their reserves, what does it mean for the true value of these companies' shares? Some financial institutions are beginning to do the math.

A presentation with Environment Hamilton board member, Founder, CATCH writer and member of Hamilton350, Don Mclean will follow.

Jane’s Walk honours the legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs by inviting people to explore their neighbourhoods and meet their neighbours through free, guided walking tours. Jane’s Walks are held on the first weekend of May each year. Since its inception in 2006, Jane’s Walk has grown from one city to 75 cities in 15 countries worldwide.

Hamilton has been celebrating the Jane's Walk festival since 2013. Walk Leaders have taken us all over the city and beyond exploring our beauty, our challenges, and imagining our future. We have had thousands of Jane's Walkers in Hamilton over the years that have walked (and pedalled!) all over Hamilton.

Jane's Walk is called a "walking conversation" where we walk and talk about the neighbourhood. All Walkers are encouraged to join the conversation and voice their ideas and questions. This engagement is an important aspect of the event and the legacy of Jane Jacobs as it brings neighbours together through shared experiences and new knowledge. It is a celebration of our common space.

Jane's Walk Hamilton is looking for great Walk Leaders and Walk Assistants who can provide interesting facts and knowledge about a neighbourhood, street, or area in Hamilton as well as keep the "walking conversation" alive. We are looking for creative and diverse walks. Please join us!

Improving Health by Design in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA)

  • Contact: Ann Lamanes – Communications Officer, City of Hamilton
  • Email: ann.lamanes@hamilton.ca
  • Phone: 905-379-0756

We have a big problem. We have engineered physical activity out of peoples’ lives by building communities that require the use of cars. This physical inactivity costs $1.4 billion dollars in healthcare expenses each year in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). What's worse, over the next 17 years these costs and congestion will increase as we add 2.2 million people and their cars to the GTHA. Join us for a timely presentation by Gayle Bursey to hear how the design of communities can significantly impact your health.

There is no single solution to this challenge; however, Gayle will describe how city planners, engineers and health professionals are working together in New York City and in the GTHA to create communities that are well-designed, transit friendly and socially connected.

Joining Gayle will be representatives from the City of Hamilton and McMaster University to share made-in-Hamilton strategies to improve resident health through the built environment.

Please register in advance for this free event at the eventbrite link above.

People's Climate Plan - First Hamilton Meeting

The Trudeau government plans to put forward a new national climate strategy before the end of 2016. We know oil lobbyists are gearing up to weaken any attempts to take bold action, and it's up to us to make sure voices of the people are heard first.

That's why as our Members of Parliament hold nation-wide public consultations on a national strategy this spring, Hamiltonians need to be there every step of the way speaking up for a way forward that works for our communities and the planet.

If we stand together, we can push towards a bold strategy that is justice-based, respects the UN Declaration of Indigenous peoples, aligns with climate science, and commits Canada to a 100% renewable energy economy.

This is a meeting open to all interested individuals and organizations. This meeting is being organized by Environment Hamilton as part of a larger national movement. Come share your thoughts and help plan how Hamilton will be part of this larger national cause!

If you are a representative of an organization please email: iborsuk@environmenthamilton.org

As Co-founder and formerly CEO and Chairman of Red Hat from 1993-2000, Young was responsible for the early success of the business. Red Hat is credited with driving the global, industry-wide adoption of open source development practices.

UNU-INWEH is pleased to announce its next free public lecture: Another Drop...From Your Tap!

Water has a multitude of uses and touches on almost every aspect of our lives. Yet, almost 663 million people in the world lack access to safe water. Clean drinking water is a human right taken for granted in Canada. However, with climate change, increasing populations and worsening pollution, water may become a much-sought after commodity here too.

The water crisis in Flint, Michigan - Hamilton’s sister city - highlights the potential for water insecurity anywhere. UNU-INWEH presents a panel of experts to explore the topics related to water security by answering three questions: • Why did Flint happen; can it happen here? • Why do people around the world lack access to clean water; can it happen here? and • Do we need to rethink water management?

Speakers include McMaster University's Dr. Sarah Dickson as well as UNU-INWEH's Dr. Lisa Guppy and Dr. Nidhi Nagabhatla.

Hope to see you there!

Starting at 10 a.m. at the A.M. Cunningham Parkette (between Wexford & Huxley) the parade follows the trail east to the Barons Avenue entrance to Andrew Warburton Park. There paraders will enjoy a free pizza party, kite making, paper crafts, and the float/costume contest awards.

Enjoy your trail, have fun and celebrate the community asset that links several neighbourhoods, commercial corridors, and park spaces. The trail is both a reminder of our city's ambitious past and potential as a place where active transportation, neighbourhoods and biodiversity can thrive.

Talk: Cooper's Hawk & Blanding's Turtle

  • Date: Monday, October 17, 2016
  • Time: 7:00pm
  • Location: Royal Botanical Gardens
  • Address: 680 Plains Rd West, Burlington (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Rob Porter
  • Email: rob@inpictures.ca

This is one of the monthly meetings of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. All are welcomed to come. October's speaker is Chris Motherwell.

--

Who were Cooper and Blanding? Who named them? Why were their names given to these species? Do they have other species named for them? The answers can be enlightening and amusing. After a quick overview of the binomial naming system, we will spotlight the people behind the names, other species named for them and any connection between these people.

Chris Motherwell is a teacher, naturalist and photographer. Studying nature has been his passion since early days in suburban Montréal, patrolling local woods in search of blue-spotted salamanders and milk snakes, or finding mudpuppies and crayfish in the back river. After learning backyard birds in his teens, he has participated in Christmas Bird counts since 1988 in Algonquin and Rondeau Parks, Toronto, Brantford, Hamilton and Victoria, Saanich, Sooke and Duncan, BC. He was an avid contributor to the former Ontario Herpetofaunal Summary, the Ontario Mammal Atlas, and the Canadian Ladybeetle survey. His formal studies have included courses in the Restoration of Natural Systems program at University of Victoria, BC and he has taught a number of bird watching courses and conducted many nature walks. An award winning nature photographer, his work is published in Islands of Hope: Ontario’s Parks and Wilderness. He has been collecting named species for his database for over 10 years.

As Canada's 150th Anniversary is fast approaching, Canada's history is on everyone's minds. Though most will take the time commemorate and remember our past, the Wilson Institute invites all to discover how our history is preserved and created within the walls of Canadian universities. Each panelist, a specialist on Canadian history, will offer insight on the many ways universities ensure the preservation of our past, our memories, and our most important material artifacts. Following this event, we invite you to remain and attend a book launch featuring two Wilson fellows: current fellow Asa McKercher and past fellow Colin McCullough.

Like you, anthropologist and children’s book author, Jackie Prime is ready to implement change to make our world a more compassionate place. Feeling the impacts and experiencing the dramatic social change driven by globalization, environmental change, economic crises, and growing inequalities in basic human rights, we all see that people, animals, and the planet are suffering, but how can we implement lasting change? Is there a way to regain balance and reconnect? Are humans really separate from each other and from nature? Or is there a different story waiting to be told?

With over a decade of teaching and research experience studying the behaviours and cognitive abilities of primates, Jackie’s view on humanity’s connection with nature is radically different from most. Recognizing that humans are not superior to the rest of life on earth, Jackie shares with us in “Always Looking Up” that the foundation for compassionate living exists in humanity’s deep connection with nature.

50 Guinea Pigs, 13 Rabbits, 20,000 Miners: The McIntyre Powder Experiment

  • Date: Thursday, March 23, 2017

  • Phone: 905-525-7140x. 24164

Between 1943 and 1980, at least 20,000 miners were dosed by their employers with McIntyre Powder – respirable aluminum/aluminum oxide dust – on the unproven theory that it would prevent silicosis. Under threat of job loss and in the absence of informed consent, these miners became unwilling lab rats in a government-sanctioned industrial disease experiment. No other humans have been exposed to aluminum in this form, intensity, duration, or by similar route of administration (an inhalable, airborne suspension). The impacts on their health remain unknown. The daughter of one of the miners in the McIntyre Powder Experiment, Janice Martell established the McIntyre Powder Project to seek answers about the aluminum dust program and its long-term health impacts. Janice will share her research discoveries about the history of the McIntyre Powder experiment, her experiences in challenging the workplace compensation system, and the stories of mining families that were left in the dust.

Free and open at all. Part of the School of Labour Studies' annual speaker series.

  • Time: 5pm - 6pm
  • Location: Auditorium, Dave Braley Health Sciences Centre
  • Address: 100 Main St W (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Lindsay
  • Email: godardlj@mcmaster.ca

On March 23, McMaster welcomes Dr. Gary Evans of Cornell University as a distinguished Hooker visiting professor. Dr. Evans will give a free public talk - all are welcome.

An informal reception with light refreshments will take place before the talk from 4:30pm-5pm.

Poverty is bad for children, but why? In this talk, Dr. Evans suggests that one of the main reasons for the harmful impacts of poverty on children is because of cumulative risk exposure.

Professor Evans is an environmental and developmental psychologist interested in how the physical environment affects human health and well-being among children. His specific areas of expertise include the environment of childhood poverty, children's environments, cumulative risk and child development, environmental stressors, and the development of children's environmental attitudes and behaviors.

Always Looking Up: HNC Free Talk Jackie Prime

  • Date: Monday, April 10, 2017
  • Time: 7:30 Pm
  • Location: Royal Botanical Gardens Headquarters
  • Address: 680 Plains Road W, Burlington ON (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Bron
  • Email: brontreg@cogeco.ca
  • Phone: 905-637-7136

Like you, anthropologist and children’s book author, Jackie Prime is ready to implement change to make our world a more compassionate place. Feeling the impacts and experiencing the dramatic social change driven by globalization, environmental change, economic crises, and growinginequalities in basic human rights, we all see that people, animals, and the planet are suffering, but how can we implement lasting change? Is there a way to regain balance and reconnect? Are humans really separate from each other and from nature? Or is there a different story waiting to be told?

With over a decade of teaching and research experience studying the behaviours and cognitive abilities of primates, Jackie’s view on humanity’s connection with nature is radically different from most. Recognizing that humans are not superior to the rest of life on earth, Jackie shares with us in “Always Looking Up” that the foundation for compassionate living exists in humanity’s deep connection with nature.

An engaging speaker, educator, and storyteller, Jackie’s conversational techniques connect with her audiences of all ages at an intimate and individual level, as she fuses her experiences growing up in Burlington with her real life adventures trekking through the rainforests of Thailand studying gibbons and macaques. She leads audiences to feel empowered to become active participants in a global society that respects and reveres nature, human diversity, and our planet, by understanding where we fit within a global system, even on a local level.

One of the few dedicated gibbon specialists in the world, Jackie is the Founder and ExecutiveDirector of Prime Earth Education, a nonprofit organization that combines natural wildlife research, experiential education opportunities, and compassion-in-action projects to educate and empower people to become environmental stewards and humanitarians who understand that we are all connected. She is also the author of the Gibby’s Great Adventure children’s book series that introduces young readers to the world of gibbons and establishes a connection for children with real animals and nature, through storytelling. Postponed from March 13 due to snow storm that day...

Not your average birding destination; but the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia act to concentrate the spring and fall migrations along a fairly narrow pathway; it’s some of the world’s best birding. Our travelers: David Brewer, Rick Ludkin and Peter Thoem, were part of a small team of Canadians who spent two weeks last September at a bird observatory in Kazakhstan. This is their story complete with insights into the interesting and delicious food, vodka as a staple diet item, language challenges and the sometimes rudimentary living conditions at the field station.

Join EMpower Strategy Group at the next “Women in the Lead” Speaker Series on June 19th, noon until 2pm at the Pavilion Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Women make up half the population yet they are noticeably absent from leadership positions in many sectors. Documented evidence points to gender diversity as a significant factor in the economic, social and creative vibrancy of cities, yet barriers to women’s entry into positions of decision-making remain a challenge.

We've assembled a panel of five (5) inspiring women to share their personal experiences on their leadership journey with the hope that their stories will enable us to identify ways and means by which we can tackle gender imbalance in leadership.

Presentations will be made by: Paulette Senior, CEO, Canadian Women’s Foundation Colina Maxwell, Executive Director, Centre3 Sandy Shaw, Corporate Director, Hamilton Port Authority Patricia Bebia Mawa, CEO, Afro Global TV Zahra Karamy, Entrepreneur and Realtor

Join us for an interactive discussion with these leading women: Fee: $45.00 by May 31st. (lunch included) and $55.00 after

Top Tips To Impress Home Buyers For Faster Sale

  • Date: Friday, July 28, 2017
  • Time: 1:50 AM
  • Location: Canada
  • Address: 265 Hood Rd, Markham (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Stagers
  • Email: INFO@STAGERSCHOICE.CA
  • Phone: (905)4703100

One of the best ways to sell your home faster and at a great price today is by staging it. Home staging is quickly gaining popularity for the past many years as this process has certainly proven useful for most of the home owners and real estate agents, willing to sell their place. Getting your place staged helps it to look its best and impresses the buyers in a better way. So if you plan on selling your place faster, then here are few tips to make the home buyers curious to get their hands on the place.

       1. Incomplete Stuff

Most of the home buyers buying an old home from someone expect the home to look the way they always desired their place to be. But many of these buyers don’t have the money to renovate & redesign the whole place. So if you have some incomplete things such as the garage shelve you bought but never installed, the window treatments you started and never finished, the closets you've been meaning to organize and clean etc, the buyers will be more interested in your home as they can just build the stuff as the way they want then.

   2. Make It Look Large

Everyone wants to have a place that is spacious as they want their furniture & other accessories to fit well while allowing everyone to move freely within the space. So make sure to stage your rooms in such a way that they look extremely spacious and perfectly maintained. This will surely make the buyers go 'wow' about your home and buy it immediately.

    3. Cleanliness

Another thing that puts up a positive impression on the buyers is the cleanliness of your place. It means that everything at your place including furniture, electronics, walls and accessories should be completely clean and well maintained. So you may clean the home yourself, hire a professional cleaner or get it staged from a reputed firm etc, in order to make your home buyers fall in love with the place.

    4. Maintenance

Maintenance is one factor that can either leave a poor impression or just win anyone's heart over. A well maintained place not only looks good to the eyes but it also makes the place seem worth living in. So you have to take care of everything from leakages to rust and from dirty backyard to clean floors etc, so that your home buyers must feel like home rather than a house of brick & mortar.

     5. Low Maintenance

Everyone wishes to have a place which requires minimal maintenance. The reason behind this is that no one likes to keep working on cleaning and managing a big place every day. So make sure that you make the place look flawless and low maintenance one, by managing all the stuff in the finest possible way. Low maintenance homes sell even faster.

So, these were the top home staging rental furniture tips that can help you sell your home sooner than you ever thought of.

Pumpkin Prowl

  • Address: 181 Belmont Ave (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Tara Aronson

The 4th Annual Pumpkin Prowl is being held on Saturday October 21st from 4:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Belview Park - 181 Belmont Avenue, Hamilton, ON L8L 7M5 in Crown Point West.

Pumpkin Prowl is a Halloween event for families who, for various reasons (separation, divorce, work schedules, etc.), do not get to have Halloween together. Created by Ward 3 HWDSB Trustee Larry Pattison and the dynamic late Kate Andrus, Pumpkin Prowl was developed as the answer for those parents, grandparents, and guardians who do not want to miss seeing their little ones dress up as their favourite hero, ghoulish character, princess, or superstar and ring doorbells giddy with anticipation. It also gives kids and their families an opportunity to have an extra Halloween as all are welcome to join in on the fun!

This year’s event starts at Belview Park and sees kids and parents play games like “body part” hockey with the “Ghoul ol’ Hockey Game” and “Glow-in-the-Dark Skull” ring toss as they sip hot chocolate and coffee courtesy of Gage Park Diner.

This year’s event will also include craft and activity stations by Hamilton Tool Library, My Free Hamilton, Messy Play Studio, Determination Martial Arts, Erich’s Cupboard, and The Urban Zoo will be bringing their Travelling Zoo! After the games and activities, the Pumpkin Prowl gang will prowl the neighbourhood in costume in search of participating trick-or-treat homes indicated by a Pumpkin Prowl window sign.

"In the middle of a big city, it felt like we were in our own little community tonight. Thank you to the organizers for all the work in making the Pumpkin Prowl available to us. The kids loved it!!! Lovin' the sense of community." Shelley (previous Pumpkin Prowl event attendee)

This year’s Title sponsor is Jet Propelled and we’ve received overwhelming community support from local Hamilton businesses. In addition to sponsorships, we also have a special super hero surprise for the kids courtesy of Penny Pincher Costumes Inc.

At the event, the Pumpkin Prowl team will be collecting non-perishable food donations for Mountain Kidz Club and Erich’s Cupboard.

All kids and their families are welcome to join in on the fun!

homeowner Fall Cankerworm and Gypsy moth control workshop

Come and learn how to band your trees to help control Fall Cankerworm. Banding captures the flightless females preventing them from laying eggs. By preventing egg laying this stops the development of caterpillars and subsequent loss of leaves. We will also describe other methods for the control of gypsy moths, review the basic biology of both moths and findings from 2017 tree surveys completed by the City of Hamilton and Hamilton Conservation Authority.

Hamilton Theatre Inc. Presents CRY-BABY

  • Date: Friday, November 10, 2017
  • Time: 8:00pm
  • Location: HTI Studio Theatre
  • Address: 140 MacNab Street North (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Lucia Crespo
  • Email: pr@hamiltontheatre.com
  • Phone: 905-522-3032

This jumping, jiving Tony nominee is a rebellious teen comedy event! Based on the cult classic, 1990 John Waters film, CRY-BABY features a delightfully demented book from the writers of Hairspray and a rockabilly score from the co-founder of Fountains of Wayne and the executive producer of "The Daily Show".

It's 1954. Everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism, and Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the coolest boy in Baltimore. He's a bad boy with a good cause – truth, justice, and the pursuit of rock and roll. Cry-Baby and the square rich girl, Allison, are star-crossed lovers at the center of this world. Fueled by hormones and the new rhythms of rock and roll, she turns her back on her squeaky clean boyfriend, Baldwin, to become a "drape" (a Baltimore juvenile delinquent) and Cry-Baby's moll. At the other end of the topsy-turvy moral meritocracy of 1954 America, Baldwin is the king of the squares and leads his close-harmony pals against the juvenile delinquents, who are ultimately arrested for arson, sending the drapes all off to prison. It's Romeo and Juliet meets High School Hellcats.

Filled with unforgettable songs and a truly unique and fresh story, CRY-BABY is a perfect choice for anybody looking to have a rockin' good time at the theatre. Cry-Baby, Allison and Baltimore's energetic juvenile delinquents will dance their way right into your heart!

Pressing On - The Letterpress Film

  • Date: Friday, November 24, 2017
  • Time: 7pm
  • Location: Workers Arts & Heritage Centre
  • Address: 51 Stuart St. (Google Maps)

The modern world was born on a printing press. Once essential to communication, the 500-year-old process is now in danger of being lost as its caretakers age. From self-proclaimed basement hoarders to the famed Hatch Show Print, Pressing On: The Letterpress Film explores the question: why has letterpress survived in a digital age?

Worlds of each character emerge as unusual narratives—joyful, mournful, reflective and visionary—are punctuated with on-screen visual poetry, every shot meticulously composed. Captivating personalities blend with wood, metal and type as young printers strive to save this historic process in a film created for the designer, type nerd, historian and collector in us all.

http://letterpressfilm.com/

Tickets available in advance online or at Mixed Media, 154 James St. North.

Tomorrow’s Headliners gives an opportunity for top students of the Greater Hamilton Area to perform live in a professional setting, allowing them to showcase their talent, giving them experience on stage and introducing the public to the headliners of tomorrow so they know who to watch for in future years.

This year the ages range from 11 – 16. We have singers and some with original compositions. No Open Mic for this show. Come out and support Tomorrow’s Headliners, you’ll be glad you did!

As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

Burning Man Festival

  • Date: Monday, June 11, 2018
  • Time: 05 pm

Hello,

Every year, thousands of people come to Nevada to create a city dedicated to art and self-expression. By the time Burning Man is over, there’s no trace of it left. The festival started in 1986 when two friends burned an improvised wooden ‘man’ on the Summer Solstice while a curious crowd watched. In the following years, more people came out to watch the two men burn bigger and bigger wooden effigies. Eventually, the festival evolved into a music and arts community.Each year, there is a theme. Some are common themes, such as Good and Evil, but others are more bizarre, like ‘The Body’ and ‘Rites of Passage.

Paintings from Thailand - Sandee Ewasiuk

  • Date: Saturday, June 16, 2018
  • Time: 1 pm - 5 pm

  • Contact: Siobhan Lynch
  • Email: info@sio2creations.com
  • Phone: 289-260-8246

In the month of October 2017, Sandee spent a month in Thailand at the artist’s residency, Com Peung, located just outside the city of Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. Her idea was to work mixed media using materials from Thailand. The only materials she brought from home were a handful of brushes and some embroidery thread. She decided to work on patterned fabric which she purchased from the wonderful fabric market in Chiang Mai. She wanted to work on fabric for the ease of transportation and with patterned fabric for interesting backgrounds from Thailand. She used photo reference from pictures she was taking during her travels. To begin she stretched the fabric on a temporary stretcher made from bamboo, and painted with layers of acrylic paint. She finished each piece with a little bit of embroidery for detail.

We are so excited to be showing this series of Sandee’s starting June 2 for Hamilton Arts Week!

The show runs from June 2nd to June 30th. Meet Sandee June 16th – 1 pm to 5 pm

NFB/imagineNATIVE Seek Innovative Indigenous works

The National Film Board (NFB) and imagineNative are looking for daring, innovative proposals from Indigenous creators. On July 19th these collaborators will be hosting a Facebook Live panel and information session for all NFB/imagineNATIVE Digital Project Prize applicants. This is short notice but will be time well spent for those interested in making submissions before the August 30, 2018 deadline. Applicants can use this new resource to help them put together the best possible pitch. The Facebook Live discussion on July 19th will offer valuable insights and tips on how to apply for the sixth edition of this exceptional program for Indigenous creators. The NFB/imagineNative partnership has resulted in works that have been programmed nationally and internationally, including at the Venice Biennale in Italy and Berlinale Forum in Berlin. Taking place on Facebook (hashtag #iN19) from 4 to 5 p.m., EDT, the conversation will feature past winners of the Digital Project Prize including Ahnahktsipiitaa (untitled), Cara Mumford (Red Card), Tyler Hagan (Similkameen Crossroads) and Jordan Bennett (Ice Fishing). The panel will be moderated by Dana Dansereau (NFB Producer, Digital Studio) and Meagan Byrne (Digital + Interactive Coordinator, imagineNATIVE), who will also provide an overview of the Interactive Partnership and the submissions process. Viewers are invited to ask questions.

Another Drop Lecture- Water and Canada’s Extractive Industries: Challenges and Opportunities

  • Date: Tuesday, October 16, 2018
  • Time: 7:00 PM
  • Location: McMaster Innovation Park
  • Address: McMaster Innovation Park- 175 Longwood Road South (Google Maps)
  • Contact: UNU-INWEH
  • Email: contact.inweh@unu.edu
  • Phone: 9056675510x. 9056675510

The extractive industries (mining, oil and gas) are large drivers of the Canadian economy, and many provinces generate a considerable portion of their revenue from these operations. However, extractive industries are not environmentally benign, altering surface and subsurface water quantity and quality. In this talk, Dr. Sean Carey will use examples from his experience working with resource industries to highlight the challenges and opportunities in mitigating and restoring disturbed landscapes. Examples from Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories will highlight the water challenges associated with existing mines and resource extraction, and the increasingly serious issue related to the stewardship of hundreds of abandoned mines that exist throughout Canada.

Growth in property markets and impact of undersupply on rents

  • Date: Tuesday, November 20, 2018
  • Time: 1 hours
  • Location: England,UK
  • Address: Chiltern House Business Center 64 High Street Burnham Bucks - SL1 7JT United Kingdom (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Jacob Clark
  • Email: satyam@montdigital.com
  • Phone: +44-7769182299

Latest figures find the properties in the north Lancaster, Blackpool, and Durham are fastest growing where the number of homes sold in the year increased 17 percent as per Land Registry data released by Housesimple. The study covers more than 60 cities in the UK where at least seven regions showed the biggest growth out of 10 in the second quarter. The rise in the sale of properties in Lancaster was 16.6 percent and Durham sale increased 15.4 percent.

It is a trend that the property price drops in November each year but this year the drop was fueled by uncertainty in political-economic situations that led to a reduction in the asking price, although, there exists a big difference in prices in different regions. Swindon was one of the regions from South which was in the top ten growing cities with a growth rate of 11.8 percent. Northern towns continue to grow and official figures claim the properties in the North East are yet to get back to pre-economic downturn rates.

Undersupply and rents

Brexit uncertainty is hurting real estate markets on the whole, where the buyers are worried over never-ending negotiations and uncertainty in the economic outlook. Although the Irish border remained firm during the Brexit negotiation phase, the property markets are growing in the North where the strongest growth was seen in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The sales markets are, especially, strong in these regions where a strong appetite for investment can be seen.

Sales were stable in October but rents increased despite a slowdown in properties, while, the tenant demand continues to grow. Demand has outgrown supply as many landlords are selling to avoid buy to let taxes. Researches by Reapit states, one in ten landlords are actively seeking options to sell properties. In the last year, rental demand grew 13.3 percent and the rental stock was low by 6.9 percent.

Although the rents are escalating at a slow pace, there exists a supply side pressure that can lead to the rise in rents. The properties in Scottish cities Glasgow and Edinburg are the fastest selling where it takes 40 to 50 days to get a deal. Glasgow continues to remain one of the fastest and competitive, in terms of, growth rate. The properties in these markets are considered highly affordable, in comparison to, rest of the UK, which led to strong growth in population that further, increased the demand of homes leading to undersupply of homes.

Foreign investment

Some overseas investors are seeking opportunities in the current market where investors from Dubai find UK property weakness and sterling decline as an opportunity, especially, when their own properties are undergoing a slowdown. Many Dubai-based clients are interested in buying at desirable destinations in London, and this has been a good time to get the best rates for these properties. A recent research by Jones Lang LaSalle found at least 50 percent of the UK residential property investment is coming through overseas, and in other global regions, property investment continues to grow in Hong Kong and China.

Franz Joseph Haydn "THE CREATION"

  • Date: Sunday, February 24, 2019
  • Time: 3:00 p.m.
  • Location: Central Presbyterian Church
  • Address: 165 Charlton Avenue West, Hamilton (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Joan
  • Email: chorushamilton@yahoo.ca
  • Phone: 905-318-9381

Join CHORUS HAMILTON for an enchanting performance of Franz Joseph Hayden’s THE CREATION on Sunday, February 24, 2019, at 3:00 p.m. in Central Presbyterian Church, 165 Charlton Avenue West, Hamilton. Soloists will be Vania Chan, soprano, Anthony Varahidis, tenor, Kyle Guglielmo, baritone, accompanied by the Concert Sinfonia, with Erika Reiman at the piano, all under the baton of David Holler.

After a performance in 1799, a Viennese journalist, Joseph Richter, wrote: “I would not have believed that mere human lungs and sheep gut and calf’s skin could create such miracles...I never left a theater more contented, and all night I dreamed of the Creation of the World.” This most benevolent and life-affirming music is a fitting performance as Chorus Hamilton celebrates 50 years of choral music-making in the City of Hamilton. “Sing the Lord, ye voices all....through all creation....”

Tickets are $30.00 and can be purchased through the website at www.chorushamilton.ca, by e-mail at chorushamilton@yahoo.ca, or by contacting Joan at 905-318-9381.

GROUP A STREP ALERT

  • Time: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
  • Location: Hamilton Public Health locations
  • Address: Aids Network and other locations across the city (Google Maps)
  • Phone: 905-546-4276, text/call 905 317-9966

In Hamilton more people who inject drugs are getting sick with bacteria called Group A Strep - or GAS as it is called.

GAS causes mild infections such as a sore throat and skin infections, but it also kills.

In the muscles it may cause flesh-eating disease and in the brain and joints it may cause meningitis.

Folks who inject drugs and who use alcohol and who are living with HIV, diabetes or cancer have a higher chance of getting sick with GAS.

You can get GAS by contact with the nose, throat or sores of an infected person with whom you are using.

Don't share items that touch your mouth like cigarettes, pipes, joints, filters, spacers water bottles, cups or utensils.

Do seek medical care when a sore is not healing or seems to be getting worse.

With courage, Hamilton Public Health is an Ontario leader in helping people who inject. Call or text to get in touch.

All services are confidential. (Tous les services sont disponible en francais.)

Singerella, a Musical Fairy Tale to Support McMaster Children's Hospital

  • Date: Sunday, June 23, 2019
  • Time: 4:00 PM
  • Location: Westdale United Church
  • Address: 99 North Oval, Hamilton, ON (Google Maps)

Singerella is our modern take on the classic fairytale. However, rather than pursue a handsome prince, Singerella longs to audition for Singsation, a national singing competition, and create her own breaks. Fairy Life Coach and Fairy Pianist pitch in to help Singerella live her dreams.

Singerella is free, but we're passing the hat to support McMaster Children's Hospital, where sometimes miracles happen and fairy tales come true.

Rally to Save Wesley Day Centre

  • Date: Tuesday, June 25, 2019
  • Time: 12:00 PM (Noon)
  • Location: Hamilton City Hall
  • Address: 71 Main St W, Hamilton, ON (Google Maps)

The announced closure of the Wesley Day Centre has left many people using the vital services being offered there wondering where they are going to go after the summer. The Shelter Health Network has provided health services at 195 Ferguson Ave N since 2005. We feel that it is the responsibility of the City of Hamilton to step up and find a solution so that the Wesley Day Centre can continue providing these essential services in the same holistic way that it does today.

The current opioid crisis is affecting many of these same folks at an unprecedented rate. The City of Hamilton has recognized the gravity of the situation but has not yet found a location for a full service supervised injection site (Consumption and Treatment Services facility, or CTS, in government language). We are asking that they truly make this the priority they claim it to be and get the job done.

The Battle of the Sexes.

What do you do when your partner doesn't want to use a condom?

If he says it doesn't feel good, to restore pleasure, you can put a drop of lube inside the condom tip.

But what if he still says `No' to using a condom?

Which is more important?

His pleasure, or knowing you're fully protected from HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or an unplanned pregnancy?

You've got the right to tell him to: "Choose sex with a condom, or no sex at all."

The mobile VAN offers HIV and HEPC testing Tuesdays.

The VAN offers no-name testing with no OHIP card required.

The HIV tests takes 5 minutes for results. The HEPC test takes 20 minutes.

Your nurse will prick your finger.

If you have trouble calling or texting the VAN, think of your health and that of your future babies.

Information for this posting is drawn from VAN information and from a flyer by CAP, a taxpayer-funded organization, which seeks to warn Canada's black community about HIV/AIDS.

This includes peoples from Africa and the Caribbean.

NOT YOUR PANTIES?

  • Date: Tuesday, December 03, 2019
  • Time: 2:30 TO 6 PM
  • Location: THE VAN
  • Address: THE VAN is mobile across the city of Hamilton (Google Maps)
  • Phone: 905 317-9966, call or text

You've found something in the wash that is not yours and you may be left dumbfounded and hurt.

Cheating is more than just about breaking trust.

It may break your heart and your health.

You may not have been using condoms with your man, maybe just the pill. And that may create a lot of confusion and anger when you decide that it is over.

Here's the deal.

The pill doesn't protect you from sexually transmitted blood-borne infections (STBBIs) such as HIV and HEPC. And don't forget chlamydia, syphilis and genital herpes.

Whether you stay or go, both of you need to GET TESTED for HIV/AIDS and other infections.

The mobile VAN offers no-name HIV and HEPC testing Tuesdays. There is no need to bring an OHIP card.

You do not have to come to the VAN; the VAN will come to you.

HIV test results in 5 minutes. The HEPC test takes around 20 minutes.

Instead of drawing blood, your nurse will prick your finger.

Shari Vandermolen at Acoustic Blend Cafe

  • Date: Saturday, February 15, 2020
  • Time: 8:00 PM
  • Location: Melrose United Church
  • Address: 86 Homewood Ave. (Google Maps)
  • Contact: Jason Hales
  • Email: acousticblendcafe@gmail.com
  • Phone: 416-565-9490

Shari Vandermolen is an award-winning performer and vocalist living in Niagara who has been entertaining audiences in the GTA and southwestern Ontario for the last 15 years. She imbues the best of contemporary influence into classic songs while paying homage to such legendary vocalists as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Nina Simone and Sara Vaughan in order to make a song her own.

Prominent in the Hamilton arts community for the last 10 years, Shari Vandermolen has also performed in numerous musical theatre productions – a passion only equal to her love of jazz and the blues. Shari won critical acclaim for her portrayal of “Mama Rose” in the musical Gypsy and was subsequently invited by director Tim Koetting to star as the iconic character of “Norma Desmond” in the production of Sunset Boulevard.

“She takes a song and gives it emotional depth and edge. She not only sings it magnificently she acts the heart and soul out of it… When she tackles such hurting songs and raw pain surges from her throat, that pain finds you in the dark and makes you shiver with pleasure.” – The Hamilton Spectator

“…hear Vandermolen make jelly of your emotions with her voice and her art… one example is Stormy Weather… I barely weathered that storm intact.” – View Magazine

“Shari’s training as an actor imbues her music with an emotional edge that takes us places we have never been with these songs. Quarter to Nine is an experience as much as a concert” – Barbara Milne, The Pearl Company

In celebration honouring Ludwig Van Beethoven’s 250th birth, CHORUS HAMILTON, one of Hamilton’s finest choral ensembles, is delighted to present Beethoven’s Mass in C Major and his Piano Concerto #4, both with chamber orchestra, on Sunday, March 8, 3:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church, 29 Park Street West, Dundas, Ontario.

The first of Beethoven’s two masses opens up new worlds of expression for the liturgical texts of the Mass which are expressly modern and point towards the future. It paves a way to an hitherto unknown, contemporary avenue to faith which today is still current.

In this most gently spoken and poetic of all his concertos, featuring Hamilton’s own Erika Reiman, Beethoven offers his most profound expression in his Piano Concerto #4.

Tickets for this concert are $30.00 general admission, those under 18 free, and can be purchased through the website at www.chorushamilton.ca, by e-mail at chorushamilton@yahoo.ca, or by contacting Joan at 905-318-9381.

Lorraine will focus on the many ways that our gardens can be places of ecological health and positive action.

Daniel Coleman

Award-winning author and McMaster professor Daniel Coleman brings together views about our role as urban humans in what we could call land justice, both in environmental terms and in relation to Indigenous people. What would it mean to think of plants and animals–and people different from us–as parts of our families?

Ginger St. James at Acoustic Blend Cafe

  • Date: Saturday, May 02, 2020
  • Time: 8:00 PM
  • Location: Melrose United Church
  • Address: 86 Homewood Ave. (Google Maps)

  • Email: acousticblendcafe@gmail.com
  • Phone: 416-565-9490

With her sultry and powerful voice, her sassy and commanding stage presence, and a repertoire that blends country, rock n’ roll and blues. Ginger St. James stands out as one of Canada’s most exciting performers.

Following the tradition of country songbirds like Loretta Lynn, Ginger writes and sings music from real experience; growing up on the family farm, being broke, having fun, and love gone wrong. Her early life in Binbrook, Ontario was heavily influenced by American southern culture, listening to country radio in the barn. Although trips with Dad to the vintage car and rockabilly shows had their impact, her signature song ‘Country Bumpkin’, proves that this gal is more HEE HAW than Happy Days.

Click Speed Test Challenge

  • Date: Saturday, July 31, 2021
  • Time: 10:00
  • Location: Singapore
  • Contact: Matt Nicholas

What's up, Minecraft fans? Getting bored with all the building and breaking? Let me introduce you to a cool challenge for fun!

No one can deny how important it is to have the ability to click faster in Minecraft PvP if you want to win the battles. In fact, people use different clicking techniques to beat the opponents. Given the importance of fast clicking, we realised why not compete on that skill itself. That's what made us start the 'Click Speed Test' challenge.

Sounds amazing, right?

Let me explain what all this is about.

What is the Click Speed test Challenge?

It is a standalone online test that calculates your clicking speed and gives you a score. You can practice more and more until your clicks per second are increased and you have the highest score.

Then, you can challenge your gamer friends to beat your score and see how they perform on the challenge.

If your challenger beats your score, you lose. If they couldn't you win! The top 5 scorers of every week will be declared the winners.

How to participate? 1. Firstly, open the Click Speed Test in your web browser. 2. On the test, click the blue button to start the challenge. 3. Continue clicking as fast as you can until the timer is over. 4. Your score will be shown on the screen in the end. 5. Now, take a snapshot of the score and challenge your friends to beat you!

That’s it!

Rules for the Challenge

In order to participate in this challenge, you must adhere to the following rules.

  1. No cheating is allowed. If any of the players are found guilty of using photoshop or other tricks to increase their score in screenshots, they will be banned immediately.
  2. Score can be submitted only once. You can practice as many times as you can but you must submit the score only once. Generally, your highest score out of all attempts should be submitted.
  3. You must click the mouse manually. No autoclickers or macro scripts are allowed in this challenge. You will be automatically disqualified for this.
  4. Challenge is open for all people and countries. You can invite any friend, colleague, relative or anyone you like.

Winning Prize

If you manage to become one of the top 5 scorers of the week, your name will be displayed on the website’s leaderboard.

Winners will next get a chance to attempt for the world record of fast clicking. The World Record for Most Clicks in 10 seconds is 121.

If you practice enough to beat that, your name will go under the Fast clicker on Earth as the World Record until someone else beats your score.
