Hamilton's own Quilt of Belonging - created by Seniors in our Community

In 2017 we visited the Cotton Factory to view Canada's Quilt of Belonging for the 150th Birthday celebration. It was an amazing piece of living art, crafted by people from across the country, telling their story about Canada, their roots, and belonging.

I am fortunate to teach at Ancaster Senior Achievement Centre, and they have a group of quilters who are very talented, and there are many such groups around the city, including a Quilters Guild. I think it would an amazing project to have these Seniors create Quilt Blocks illustrating their connection to Hamilton. The quilt could travel around the City to our community & senior centres, city hall & various locations around town. This project could involve older adults from all parts of our community and create a beautiful mosaic of Hamilton experiences
