Mayor Andrea Horwath will be in Washington, D.C. from tomorrow to Friday, to participate in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative’s annual Great Lakes Day. She will be joined by over a dozen Mayors and elected officials from Ontario and Quebec advocating for the economic and environmental health of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin. The event will also allow an opportunity for Mayors to engage directly with U.S. policymakers on issues impacting cross-border trade and regional prosperity. Most of the Great Lakes mayors represent cities that are heavily reliant on the Canada-US integrated manufacturing and logistics economy.

Referring to the threatened US tariffs, Mayor Horwath noted, “These tariffs would deal a billion-dollar economic blow to our city—thousands of Hamiltonians rely on manufacturing jobs to support their families. Protecting our local businesses, workers, and their families, and ensuring Hamilton remains a strong economic force is job #1 right now.”

Since the announcement of the tariff threats, Mayor Horwath has taken some initiatives including:

• Introducing a Buy Local, Buy Canadian Procurement Policy motion.
• Engaging directly with major steel and manufacturing executives to assess the impacts of tariffs on local industry.
• Convening the Mayor’s Roundtable on Trade and Tariffs, bringing together 14 of Hamilton’s largest manufacturers, the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority, the Hamilton International Airport, City leadership, local economic development officials, and all three Hamilton-area Chambers of Commerce (Hamilton, Stoney Creek, and Flamborough) to assess impacts and discuss strategies to protect local jobs and industries.
• Working with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario Big City Mayors Caucus (OBCM)’s newly struck tariff sub-committee to ensure Hamilton’s concerns are at the forefront of all organizing and advocacy efforts.

During the mayor’s visit, she will meet with members of U.S. Congress, ambassadors, and representatives from key U.S. trade organizations and government agencies.

With many Canadians re-thinking their travel and vacation plans in light of the Trump tariff and 51^st state comments, Hamilton Airport will soon be able to offer travel across Canada for the first time since Swoop stopped service in 2023. Porter Airlines will commence its daily jet service to Halifax, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver in June. WestJet will continue to connect Hamilton to Calgary as well. Additionally, Air Canada and The Landline Company will operate multiple daily departures between Hamilton International and Toronto Pearson, connecting travellers into the airline’s global network of destinations.

The Airport  has started work on its multi-million-dollar terminal enhancement project announced at the beginning of February. Construction is actively underway inside and outside of the terminal with exciting Airport enhancements to be unveiled this June including:

·    An updated exterior frontage with new and expanded canopies to improve curbside flow.

·    Refreshed interior spaces from check-in counters and passenger screening areas to departures lounge seating and baggage claim, modernizing the terminal experience.

·    Integration of new architectural elements and finishes inspired by the region’s natural geography

·    New digital signage and lighting upgrades.

Future enhancements will include passenger jet bridges to connect the terminal directly to aircraft – a first for Hamilton International – and additional terminal infrastructure upgrades.

Hamilton city staff will look into measures that could provide relief to neighbours of a smelly GFL dump in Stoney Creek, including tax breaks and a temporary closure of the landfill, after councillors discussed the actions last week. 

Somewhat lost in last week’s Hamilton General Issues Committee meeting, was the report detailing staff’s plan to handle encampments after the current protocol expires on Thursday. With the Barton-Tiffany tiny shelters site now ramping up its intake of residents, and the additional conventional shelter spaces the city opened, the expectation is that tent encampments will begin to disappear from city parks, the only issue being, how quickly that can happen.

Some of the early measures to restore parks to community use include transitioning the two all-year 24-hour access outdoor washroom facilities currently operated at the Corktown Park and JC Beemer Park to normal park operations and hours over the next three months. Security guards that were permanently stationed at those parks will now revert to car patrol  covering city-wide parks.

There was significant discussion at last week’s GIC meeting about how quickly the encampments can be removed from Bayfront and Pier 4 parks. Staff spoke about “managing expectations” on that score but several councillors made it clear that the removal of tent encampments from the two waterfront parks had better be a priority, because that was a clear expectation the public were given when the Barton-Tiffany Encampment was announced. Residents in the North End are already suspicious of anything the city says on the subject, after politicians and staff refused to attend a community meeting last fall to explain their choice of the Barton-Tiffany site for the tiny shelter installation.

Staff agreed to prioritize the two parks, which are within a one-kilometer radius of Barton Tiffany, but the reality is, residents in other parts of the city where there are encampments won’t be far behind the north end residents in demanding the removal of encampments from their neighbourhood parks as well.

Other parks that are within the one-kilometer radius of Barton-Tiffany and which will need to be cleared are:

J.C. Beemer Park/Tweedsmuir Park;   • Bishop’s Park;   • Claremont Access Parkettes;  • 298 Hunter Street East (green space west of Claremont Access);   • Carter Park;   • Myrtle Park; and,   • Rail Trail between extension of Wellington Street South and Sherman Avenue South. 

Reserves will be used to pay Hamilton Police Services to add an additional four officers to assist with the encampment transitions, bringing the total number of HPS personnel assigned to encampments to six. It is expected the extra officers will be  needed for three months at a cost of $225,000; but the need for  extra policing will be reviewed quarterly. The city is also adding four more bylaw officers to enforce encampment removal, who will be transferred from other duties. Staff warn that the transfer of bylaw officers to the encampment  duty will result in  decreased service levels in other areas of bylaw enforcement. These include:

Yard Maintenance concerns related to long grass and weeds, garbage and debris, illegal dumping, and graffiti;

 Zoning concerns regarding a potential illegal use of a property;

• Fence By-law concerns related to height allowance, material utilized for the construction of a fence, or potential damages;

 • Streets By-law concerns in relation to obstructing, encumbering, injuring or fouling the highway;

• Noise Control concerns related to noise nuisances related to active construction outside permitted times, operation of heavy machinery, and possible noise deemed unreasonable and likely to disturb residents; and,

• Property Standards concerns that are unrelated to building safety.
