Had some great conversations door knocking in the Central neighbourhood today. Folks care deeply about their communities and it was really encouraging to hear that from so many of the people I spoke with. I remain incredibly proud to represent this community. And those fall colours! #HamOnt

In my closing remarks at the debate, I outlined the challenges ahead. Over the next four years, Hamilton will need a strong voice at the table willing to speak up, hold people accountable, and do the job with compassion, care, and dedication. #HamOnt

The City needs to better coordinate to support those forced to live on our streets. When homelessness reached an all time high during the pandemic, the Province stepped up to provide funding to everyone who needed it. As soon as it was over, they walked away. They need to get back to work. #HamOnt

Pier 8 is prime waterfront land and we own it. Letting it sit unused while our development partner waits for better market conditions isn’t the right thing to do. Building is happening downtown. This project needs to move forward. It’s why I tabled a motion to explore other options.

Another great evening knocking on doors in Durand. Sabreina and I also checked out the last Art Crawl of the season picked up some handmade local treasures. We’ll be out and about all weekend so please say hi if you see us! #HamOnt #CatsForCameron

During this past term on Hamilton’s police board I pushed for accountability and transparency. As a result, there’s now a fairer budget process including open line by line documents and public meetings. For the first time, we were able to have informed conversations about the police budget. #HamOnt

We’re now the first city in Canada to take this important step. A Ward 2 pilot will start next summer to protect up to 15,000 tenants from the impacts of extreme heat. I understand the concerns fellow tenants have raised about this pilot and I’ll work, next term, to improve and expand it. #HamOnt

When local businesses have asked for help with rising costs, due to tariffs, inflation, or other pressures, I’ve stepped up and put motions on the table. I’ve reduced fees for temporary patios and ensured the City continued to pay for recycling when the Province changed the rules. #HamOnt

Honoured to be endorsed by the Hamilton and District Labour Council. As a former union President, I take this endorsement seriously. If I'm reelected, I'll keep showing up for workers across our city, on the picket lines, and at the Council table. #HamOnt

Keeping housing affordable has has been a major priority for me during this term of Council. Repairing nearly 600 units of housing at CityHousing Hamilton, at an average cost of $12k a unit, brought our vacancy rate from 10% to the industry standard nearly 2%. Results matter. #HamOnt

Cameron Kroetsch @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’ve worked closely with BIAs and businesses across our downtown to champion a new Downtown Revitalization Strategy. Our downtown has so much potential, but we needed a plan to set things in motion and a strategy to ensure everyone follows through. I’m committed to making it a reality. #HamOnt

Cameron Kroetsch @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Making our streets more accessible for everyone who needs to use them, especially around places like our hospitals, schools, and parks is important. There’s a lot more to do and I’ll keep doing it if I’m reelected. #HamOnt

Cameron Kroetsch @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

As I said during the Cable 14 debate, we had mixed results with the Barton-Tiffany temporary outdoor shelter - cost and time overruns, and, at the same time, the highest percentage of people being permanently housed. Now the focus must be on taking what we’ve learned and doing better. #HamOnt

Lovely time knocking on doors in the North End today with these wonderful humans. Residents had questions about the new renovations to the Bennetto Auditorium and were excited about the coming dog park as part of the new Strachan Linear Park. #HamOnt

Thanks to everyone who attended tonight’s Ward 2 debate at Magnolia Hall and to the Durand Neighbourhood Association for hosting it.

Tomorrow, September 30, is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. I'll be at the waterfront, from sunrise to midday. If you can make it, it would be great to share some time together. #HamOnt

I’m running for reelection as Ward 2 Councillor, for the heart of our city. I’ve demonstrated a deep commitment to my community and I’m dedicated to finishing what I started in my first term. I’m ready for the hard work ahead and I know we can make Hamilton better, together. #HamOnt

Conversations at the doors today in Durand were focused on housing, affordability, and how the city can keep pushing back against the Province. I was glad to be able to talk about my experience and connect voters with the facts. There’s a lot of misinformation out there. #HamOnt

Cameron Kroetsch @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Thanks to everyone we talked to at the doors today in the Central neighbourhood. We had great conversations about supporting educators in local schools and better street safety. We stopped by the Fratellanza Racalmutese’s open house while we were out - great live music, on until 11pm. #HamOnt

It’s been a long 6 weeks for striking USW 7135 workers. Glad I could join them again on the picket line, this time along with the Hamilton and District Labour Council, to show my support. If you can make it out, they’d appreciate seeing you! #HamOnt

While you’re out at Supercrawl, stop by the Hamilton Farmers’ Market to check out the Harvest Festival on York Boulevard. During this past term, it was a priority to find new ways to bring people into the market - this is a part of making that happen and it’s wonderful to see. #HamOnt

Enjoying this Saturday out downtown at King William Comes Alive. We chatted with local businesses about the impact and the vast majority love it and want it to continue. Pedestrianization matters and I’m proud to have helped make this happen in this term of Council. It’s on until 7pm! #HamOnt
