Renew Hamilton in the Community 
The Renew Hamilton Project - an initiative of the Hamilton Chamber - continues to document the story of regeneration occurring in downtown Hamilton and adjacent neighbourhoods. The goal is to promote the vision of a revitalized urban centre that contributes to making Hamilton one of Canada's top midsize cities. Last week we interviewed Julian Smith (pictured above), executive director of Willowbank, an independent educational institution located in Queenston, Ontario that offers a seamless integration of academic and hands-on training in the heritage conservation field. Smith was in town to present a lecture at The Pearl Company. He talked about the importance of preserving our "shared cultural landscapes" - the tangible and intangible assets that define Hamilton as a unique and special place - and the need for resident-led community planning. These are among the actions that help attract people and investment in the modern economy. CLICK HERE to listen to the full lecture
