30 years ago my husband and I imigrated to Canada-Hamilton as a student at McMaster with just enough money to survive. Today, almost retired, my husband became one of the worlds top engineer specialist in his field. My daughter became a doctor and my son also an engineer. Working a lot and with some sacrifices, today we have a high standard of living, peace, happiness and gratitude/love for Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
And that is one of many reasons I love Canada - it gives hard-working and determined people an opportunity to achieve their goals! Thank you for sharing your story, and all the best!
Hamilton Ontario is one of Canada travel .with the view awesome desain home decorations park flawer .weather sunny natury full building in half a road busy
Hamilton is type of city which one can fall in love with, or can hate it. Me, i love it with my dear heart. People don’t know what Hamilton has to offer. I stayed there for 3.5 years out of 5 years. Now I’m in Alberta. I miss Hamilton ❤️
I've lived in Hamilton my entire life. This is a well shot video, but extremely limited in presenting Hamilton. You show James St., King St, Main St. and not much else. You neglected going up the mountain to Sam Lawrence Park, where you can see the entire lower city and on a clear day, Toronto. We also have a well developed waterfront. Where is Dundurn Castle, The Royal Botanical Gardens, The Art Gallery with its outside sculptures, McMaster University, Whitehearn historical home, the Catholic and Anglican cathedrals?...I could go on. People viewing, there is so much more to see and do. Come and discover us.
I totally agree. This video does not do Hamilton justice. If you are going to film a city, then please do more than a few downtown streets showing the same places multiple times.
@@lvfreeAdventures Okay. There is a great Visitors' Centre, in the Lister Block, just across the road from the City Centre Mall, that you frequently showed. They will direct you to numerous interesting places.
@dsafire no it’s not. I am a visible minority and have been living in Hamilton for over 12 years. I love the city and prefer it any day over stuck up Oakville / Burlington . The only drawback is the drug addiction issue that is rampant downtown.
An excellent downtown video -shot nicely and true to the place. I was fascinated by some of the negative comments. As if there is any perfect city anywhere. Hamilton is a mix of eclectic architecture, working people, artists, the poor, addicts, the rich - grit, grime and sparkling places, and this is just downtown. Gore Park in the middle of the heart of the city - still the centre - older buildings being renovated ..... newer buildings, struggle, success = life. I've lived here since 1972 and have seen it through several phases - I liked them all because .....they are life. For a second video..... neighbourhoods: Locke Street, yuppie central; Ottawa Street; fabrics galore and small shops; Concession Street where small businesses begin and vanish..... and some succeed; .... Or a nature tour - the Niagara Escarpment cuts through the city and is left wild.... hiking trails ..... the Bruce Trail was conceived in Hamilton and runs through the city - and waterfalls that range from a trickle to a torrent.... anyway, Thanks!
Very well said! Every city has up and downs, and good and bad. Like you said - it's a life. It is up to person to choose what to see in it. Thanks for suggestions for next videos.
Those pylons at the beginning (James St. N.) are for a film production, don't know what it is, though. Notice how little foot traffic there is. It's said; even though things are opening up, people are still avoiding the downtown. At night it's not really safe.
@Afro D'or Depends on what part of the city. Downtown and the north and east ends are maybe not as safe at night. Public transit is pretty good in Hamilton but it's really better to have a car. Also rent is a bit high and there are not many vacancies. If you're buying a house or condo the market is "hot" and prices are high.
@Afro D'or Hamilton is more than a half million population so it has all the benefits and challenges of any larger urban centre. If you compared it to an equally populated US city it would be considered extremely safe but it’s all relevant. Hamilton has lots of beautiful and very safe neighbourhoods but also a few challenging ones that are also higher in crime. That said, being smart and taking a few personal precautions can dramatically improve someone’s safety in any city. Hamilton also has a lot of employment opportunities in a variety of skills and professions.
Most people from Hamilton are still proud of our city. It has changed drastically the past 40 years. It is no longer the steel town it was but is now the medical town. Our biggest employer now is HHS our hospital network. We have many of the top hospitals in Ontario within a 15 minutes drive in the city. We are still a friendly city were you will run into your friends,neighbour's,coworkers and family driving around the city. We are slowly losing our small town appeal that brought many people here. The downtown is no dirtier than any other big city. Housing and rent now has become expensive fom people coming from the GTA and buying up our once affordable houses. We are still luckily a big union town mostly in thanks to HHS. We are in a perfect location halfway between Toronto and Niagara Falls Can. and NY. I have lived in and visited many cities in Canada and the US. and I think Hamilton has pretty much everything.
Beautiful city Excellent walking tour 👍 wonderfull City scenery and fantastic views awesome thank you for sharing the video stay connected in touch nice day 🙏💐🤗😆
Don't forget about the 156 waterfalls with in the city limits we have here in Hamilton. Hamilton has the most waterfalls in any city of the world. Great video you've made here.
this place is pit of social inequality, but hey, those waterfalls... nevermind that the infrastructure for them is so bad that most have been closed to the public...
A gentrified Hamilton is a Hamilton with no one in it. I miss this city in the 2000s, you could drink with people of all walks of life. Now the area you've highlighted is lawyer restaurants with two covers, $1400 bachelors and rich commuter students from around the world. Sucks here now, sorry not sorry. The Brooklyn vibe is gone and we're dirted up Oakville now.
If the place isn't scruffy enough for you any more, quit whining and pick any one of the many roads out of town. I'm sure a few of them lead to a dump you might like better
@@wlrp3 hateful people like you are what is wrong with the world. The person you sent your nasty reply to didn't do anything wrong and isn't harming you in any way. All you did was show what an unhappy person you are. I feel sorry for you. Instead of trolling people, try doing something more positive with your time. It will make you a lot happier than being mean to strangers online. Take care.
Awesome! I was born in Hamilton in the year May 12th 1993. In fact, I use the Buses on our bus routes visiting old Familiar places on our HSR Buses in Hamilton on visits from Edmonton Alberta.
Big and beautiful city Hamilton. I admire the modern and the old buildings like the library, bank and the city centre. Very broad and neat roads-super!👍👍
I've never been to Hamilton, only passed by only way to Niagara Falls or just along the outskirts for a catering gig. I got a couple friends that live there, I may have to pay them a visit.
@@ismetkerqeli5774 there’s crazy people everywhere dude, been living here my whole life. Definitely there’s places to avoid, but there’s neighborhoods like that everywhere... name a negative experience you’ve had within downtown Hamilton, then think about all the smiles that the artists, musicians, and people have brought you. I notice a lot more smiles then frowns in this town especially when the warm weathers around. Some of the “graffiti” you see in this video, isn’t just graffiti. A lot of folks raise money and ask people to paint murals and preform live music. Don’t say that Hamilton’s not worth you’re time when you easily can miss out on a plethora of positives within the city!
your daughters are subject to vast amounts of racism, an overpaid and brutal police force, open gay bashing and an ignorant populace who still think the steel industry is coming back for them
I was like "i wonder if they're gonna film the gold car that's always parked in the same spot" and you did 😂 I work in downtown Hamilton everyday. Good video. Captured it beautifully 🙌🏻
As someone who has lived here majority of my 45 years. This is a beautiful video. But this is only a small part of our downtown core. Hamilton has two levels. An escarpment (the Mountain) the upper Hamilton and a lower Hamilton where the video was shot. Hamilton is full of life and Art, multiculturalism is our pride. Many parks and recreational centre! 2 Colleges, a University. We are kind and educated, some rough and gruff but always friendly and helpful. We have a Castle. We have a beautiful water front and beaches. Amazing cuisines from Burgers, To Ethiopian, German, Peruvian, Mexican. Art Galleries, children’s museum. And, so, so , so much more! Come visit! You’ll be glad you did! 🙏❤️☺️
Lots more to see this is just the downtown core. Hamilton has a great Brooklyn feel to it, but so many areas have a small town vibe every neighbourhood is unique in its own right.
@@lvfreeAdventures Just a play on words, I assume. Hamilton - Ham - Hammer. We also call it Steel City, because of its former huge steel industry. We do still have a steel industry, but not as big as it used to be.
As someone who is from Hamilton, I’m on the mountain and I forget the little things of downtown. The heart of Hamilton, it has become such an unsafe place to go alone after dinner time, that I rarely go down there.
As a downtown gay man of 25 years of age, there is nothing glamorous or fabulous in the Hamilton suburbs, especially the mountain, when the suburbs are nothing but full of dull mundane old school people most especially the retirees.
@@oliviamartini9700 My point is there is nothing glamorous with the way boomers live in Hamilton. And apparently, according to many small minded Hamiltonians, being a Hamiltonian means you shouldnt strive to emulate big city glamour cuz it's not "ambitious" or "progressive"
@ontariofirs i live near downtown myself. Just take a walk on York St between James and Bay. This is full of homeless addicts with garbage strewn everywhere pushing carts. Every intersection in the lower city seems ti have someone on there asking for money even in winter. It is worse in the summer. Yet “progressive “ NDP politicians who have ruled the city for decades don’t want to deal with this drug problem but want to treat these people as victims and keep them comfortable on the streets. There are no measures being taken to help them / push them off the streets and out of their addictions. The city is falling apart man, lets not put a lipstick on a pig and call it something else.
@@slimshady2100 Im not going to disagree with your points here BUT downtown Hamilton is the part of the city that has seen the MOST economic changes in the last 5 years. The suburbs of Hamilton cant even compare to that level of progress.
This video should be called downtown Hamilton in 10 mins, man you didn't even come close to showing Hamilton, I am guessing you had no car. You do show the beautiful old buildings downtown though. Nice work.
I like how the video walked south on James st and didn’t take a left in York st toward the First Ontario centre. That is full of homeless addicts, with garbage strewn everywhere. The city has tent cities aka slums everywhere.Seriously years of NDP rule has resulted in this in my opinion. Now that we have Andrea Horwath as mayor it is going to get much worse.
I've lived here for a long time and on the outside this video seems to represent Hamilton as some oasis which I find amusing however this city is a hole. Yes, it's a hole.. the downtown core is sketchy, the people look run down and miserable, the tent encampments all in the parks and every nook and cranny, the junkies which literally litter the downtown core, the shootings and stabbings on the rise, the panhandling and beggars at almost every intersection and not too far down is glorious Barton street where you may find crackheads and prostitutes. Weed shops on literally every single corner and don't even think to live near downtown because you will always worry about your car getting broken into or worse. For women, the downtown core isn't as safe, my wife rarely feels safe walking around, just too many sketchy people walking around. There is garbage all over the streets, a ton of one ways, the roads are horrible. However, once you have gotten out from downtown (which you will rarely visit) Hamilton isn't too bad. The mountain living is better and cleaner but this city has been labeled "the armpit of Ontario" for a reason. But for me, this miserable place is home. 🙂
@@lvfreeAdventures Hamiltion is known for waterfalls, perhaps visiting the trails and waterfalls if you wanted some suggestions.. Albion Falls, Tews falls etc. The Bruce trail is also a good place for scenic viewing. Cheers.
If the God in 2022 year sipring I will go to live with my family and my parets to the Humilton. the first to the Saskatchewan than Humilton than Ontario.
Hamilton needs an overhaul in its population hence the need to gentrify. This city needs more people who will economically contribute to the city and retired factory worker pensioners with no post secondary education are a burden to the city.
How is ghe child care here for Autistic kids. I'm thinking about moving to Canada And to also work a Nurse Assistant till i can further my studies i'm a single mom Any tips ?
I personally work with children on the spectrum. There things here however applying for funding can take awhile but there are outlets. I provide respite care currently for a few families.
It is too bad you were filming on such a miserable day weather wise. I see you didn't go very far from King and James. That is a shame because our urban planners ruined that area years ago. Try going farther afield next time.

The mountain living is better and cleaner but this city has been labeled "the armpit of Ontario" for a reason.
But for me, this miserable place is home. 🙂
Any suggestions for what to film next time I am in town?
@@lvfreeAdventures Hamiltion is known for waterfalls, perhaps visiting the trails and waterfalls if you wanted some suggestions.. Albion Falls, Tews falls etc. The Bruce trail is also a good place for scenic viewing.
Cheers.
@@shahid8545 Thanks!
Is Hamilton a good option for new immigrants as their first home in Canada?
If the God in 2022 year sipring I will go to live with my family and my parets to the Humilton. the first to the Saskatchewan than Humilton than Ontario.
Good luck in your journey!
Loved that you captured the beauty in this wonderful city
Hamilton needs an overhaul in its population hence the need to gentrify. This city needs more people who will economically contribute to the city and retired factory worker pensioners with no post secondary education are a burden to the city.
Those retired workers paid taxes and contributed to the city... not sure what you are trying to say there

Hi
How is ghe child care here for Autistic kids.
I'm thinking about moving to Canada
And to also work a Nurse Assistant till i can further my studies i'm a single mom
Any tips ?
I personally work with children on the spectrum. There things here however applying for funding can take awhile but there are outlets. I provide respite care currently for a few families.
It is too bad you were filming on such a miserable day weather wise. I see you didn't go very far from King and James. That is a shame because our urban planners ruined that area years ago. Try going farther afield next time.
Beautiful.
But don't forget.,
Hamilton Ontario is not just the center of the city,
Gotta show everything else too ,not just the beauty ❤👍
