img.jpg (47903 bytes)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.
