Hamilton is the 3rd largest city in Ontario, situated in the Golden Horseshoe region. Known as an industrial city, nicknamed "Steel Town", it also has many treasured neighbourhoods, interesting history and natural areas. Hess Village and Locke St in the downtown core, both offer a quaint dining or shopping experience! The city is also home to over 100 natural waterfalls, most located along the world renowned Bruce Trail. The Hamilton Harbour offers a sandbar beach along the shores of the lake, as well as a long walking and biking trail. The city has a unique geographical setup, as the Niagara Escarpment runs through the middle of the city boundaries, with the 'upper' part known as "Hamilton Mountain." Hamilton offers a variety of benefits to its residents, from higher educational opportunities at McMaster University and Mohawk College, to exciting CFL games to root on the local Ti-Cats at Tim Hortons Field, to exploring the fauna and flora at Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton is a growing city, going through an exciting period of revitalization and renewed spirit!
