Hamilton is the third largest city in the Golden Horseshoe that houses a total of 8.1 million people –it’s the blue collar centre. As a matter of fact, it’s Canada’s largest manufacturing centre. Hamilton shows off its history as a port city early in the industrialized era. Its best architecture is influenced by the styles of that era – Art Deco, Victorian, Gothic Revival and more. On the coast of Lake Ontario, surrounded by the hills of the Niagara escarpment, the city is nicely situated too. Hamilton is the Hammer. Steeltown. It’s the satisfying grit underneath your fingernails after a long days work.
