I’ll continue to work with downtown Councillors from across the Province, as I’ve been doing in this term, to bring the best ideas and knowledge to Hamilton as part of the strategy’s roll out. We can learn a lot from the successes others have had to position Hamilton as a leader in downtown renewal.

The strategy contains a detailed 10 year plan outlining the initiatives, programs, and steps necessary to make our downtown vibrant and welcoming for all. As the Councillor who has tabled the most budget motions in this term of Council, I’m in the best position to see this work through.

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

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

In many ways, but mostly by ensuring those responsible for the cost overruns are no longer in the position to make decisions like that again. As those decisions were made in private, for legal reasons, I can’t say more than that.

Those who are suffering most in our community depend on us to get things right and everyone counts on the City to use its resources wisely. When we know better, we must do better. I’ve always been committed to continuous improvement and that won’t change in the coming term of Council.

My vote in favour was cast to keep my neighbours from freezing to death over the winter. As soon as we learned the project would run over time, not helping people during the coldest months, and over budget, I spoke out, expressed concern, and joined Council in holding those responsible to account.

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. It was energizing to discuss the issues important to residents and I’m confident I demonstrated that I’m the best candidate to represent the heart of our city. #HamOnt

All Our Relations, at the foot of James Street North, is a beautiful space to reflect, share, and think through our obligations to treaty rights, reconciliation, and our urban Indigenous neighbours.

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

That’s not the subject of this post, but if you want to engage with me about that - email Cameron@CameronForWard2.ca. I’m trying to limit off topic conversations as much as possible. You can also just write another post and tag me and I’ll reply there. This is about arts and culture.

Next term will be an important time to see this work through and I look forward to continuing to strengthen my relationships with local businesses to help them succeed in the core. We have challenges, but I’m here to do what I can so we can face them together.

In this term I’ve tabled motions to reduce fees to install patios and made sure the City continues to carry the costs for business recycling. I’ve also worked with BIAs and residents to have their concerns addressed through the new Downtown Revitalization Strategy and Downtown Subcommittee.

We’re getting a new City Manager - that will be up to the next Mayor and I’m hopeful there will be a robust and transparent process for choosing that person.

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

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

Great BBQ in Beasley Park today! My dad and Sabreina’s dad were running the grill and we heard from many residents about the things they want to see in their neighbourhood. And we got to spend time with sweet doggo Bart and his family. #HamOnt #DogsForCameron

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

Thanks, very much, to organizer Margaret Qin for making this space a welcome one for young people to bring their art and music to the community. It’s important that students feel downtown is a space for them, and everyone in our city.

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
