What's on Where
Hamilton, Ontario

|
|
|
 Hamilton is located at the head
of Lake Ontario, between Niagara Falls and Toronto. According to the 2001 census,
Hamilton’s population is 490,268 making it the eighth largest city in Canada.
Demonstrating the city’s diversity, nearly one-quarter of the metropolitan area
population of Hamilton is foreign-born. This makes Hamilton the Canadian city with the
third highest proportion of foreign-born citizens after Toronto (44%) and Vancouver (38%).Hamilton
is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, the Bruce
Trail, McMaster University and several colleges. The Canadian Football Hall of Fame can be
found downtown right beside Hamilton City Hall and across town in the east the Canadian
Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats play at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Partly because of its
diverse locations, numerous TV and film productions have been filmed in Hamilton regulated
by the Hamilton Film Liaison Office. A growing arts and culture sector had garnered media
attention in a 2006 Globe and Mail news article, entitled "Go West, Young
Artist," focused on the growing art scene in Hamilton. The article highlighted local
art galleries, recording studios and independent film production. |
