Walk it - See It – Talk It: What do you want to do on your waterfront?

HAMILTON, ON – It has taken decades of planning and hard work to get here, and now the City of Hamilton’s West Harbour Waterfront Redevelopment Plan is in full action, construction is underway and new public spaces will be taking shape.

Join the City and its consultants from Project for Public Spaces, for an evening of discussions regarding innovative placemaking approaches that create public spaces; spaces that engage people and foster a strong sense of community that contributes to the growing vibrancy of a waterfront for all Hamiltonians.

Building on all of the design and consultation work to date, the City is looking for your ideas to assist in the development of a Placemaking & Activation Plan. This Plan will outline program ideas for how the current and future public spaces could be used, and look for ways to make this area a “people-place” in the immediate term, during construction, as well as the eventual long-term.

To help you imagine how these public spaces could be used, the City will temporarily open the site of the future public trail along Piers 5 to 7 at the foot of James Street North. The public will be able walk to the water’s edge like never before, follow the path of the future trail and experience a series of placemaking activations that will help inspire ideas for discussions later in the evening.

Placemaking demonstrations will take place along Piers 5 to 7. The public is invited to drop in anytime between 3 to 8 pm.  RSVP is not required.

For more information, please go to: Placing Making Demonstrations on West Harbour The website will be updated as demonstrations are confirmed.

The Placemaking Community Meeting will take place in the evening and a RSVP is requested.
