Continue reading “Join Councillor Danko to discuss the Ward 8 Complete Streets Report”This post, from April 2, has details on Council’s objection, lead by Cllr. Danko, to 7-Eleven’s application for in-store consumption of beer and wine.
In February, news broke that the 7-Eleven chain of convenience stores had applied for licences to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to allow for in-store consumption of beer and wine.
As Ward 8 is one of only two wards currently hosting a 7-Eleven franchise in the City of Hamilton, Councillor Danko and neighbouring residents have objected to the reported application of the chain to the province to allow it to serve alcohol in its stores.

The Ward 8 Office recently brought you an article about a fundraiser taking place in the Centremount Neighbourhood, where residents are holding a GoFundMe to raise funds for a community snowblower.

One of the ways residents can enjoy the outdoors during winter time is to skate outdoors on your local rink. From first memories of skating as a family to impromptu shinny, the local rink offers plenty of joy for community members of all ages.
And for residents of Centremount, that rink has been found year after year at Bruce Park.

The Trillium Awards were run a little different this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Although we cannot celebrate the award winners with a ceremony or presentation, the Ward 8 office would like to salute all those who took the time to participate in the 2020 Trillium Awards program and we’d like to salute the winners in this space.

A number of months ago, the Ward 8 office received an email from a constituent concerned about the tired state of the Skating Centre attached to Dave Andreychuk Arena.
Thanks to that email, the office engaged with facilities staff about this issue, and with a funding commitment facilitated through the Ward 8 area rating reserve, came up with a Ward 8 maintenance priority list.

This article details information about responsible pet ownership and a reminder to residents to pick up after one’s pet.
With many of us being around the house more, we know that Max, Yogi, or Molly may be getting a little more love, affection, and attention as we all deal with the new realities of being at home.
Although our dogs may love the extra time together, it’s important to remember that some neighbours don’t enjoy stepping on Max’s leftovers in the park, something we’ve been hearing about at the Ward 8 office.
