In 1915 Hamilton was the first city in Hamilton to install water fountains - the shorty greens. Celebrate the city's progressive thinking by ensuring that every city park and parkette within the city of Hamilton's urban boundary has a water fountain in it! And put at least one shorty green back in service - in Gore Park - along with a plaque commemorating the city's foresight in 1915, and it's pledge today, that every park and parkette have a water fountain.

.Being a center of industry means that Hamilton workers have had to struggle for a better quality of life for themselves. Episodes like the 1873 Nine Hour Movement and the 1946 Stelco Strike show us how working class Hamiltonians fought for a better life for themselves and in doing so gave us a better life today.

The Hamilton area is often used as a location for various film and television shoots. It would be interesting to have a featured tour that highlights the role Hamilton has played in entertainment over the years.
