About the City of Hamilton
The City of Hamilton is a dynamic urban centre, home to approximately 560,000 residents, a diverse economy, bustling cultural scene, vibrant neighbourhoods and a unique natural environment.
Hamilton is located within close proximity of Toronto and the Niagara Peninsula in Canada’s most populous province, and has strong transportation networks, internationally renowned educational institutions and hospitals and a well-educated labour force. Home to Canada’s largest integrated steel producers, Hamilton’s economy is driven by manufacturing, health care and life sciences, goods movement and agricultural industries. A day in Hamilton can include a stroll on the waterfront, a hike on the famous Bruce Trail, a game at Tim Hortons Field, and visits to waterfalls and conservation areas as well as the famous Hess Village, beautiful Ancaster and Dundas, The Royal Botanical Gardens and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
