Kent Austin Announced as Guest Speaker for Hamilton Community Awards

 

The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce has announced that the nomination period is now open for the Hamilton Community Awards, comprising the 76th annual Royal Bank Distinguished Citizen of the Year and the 16th annual Hamilton Spectator Youth Volunteer of the Year. Nominations will be accepted until December 31, 2013, with winners being announced at the Hamilton Community Awards dinner on January 21, 2014 at Liuna Station. 

 

The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Kent Austin, Ti-Cat Head Coach and General Manager, as our guest speaker for the evening. 

 

Nominations for the RBC Distinguished Citizen of the Year are open to those who have had a great impact on Hamilton. Nominations for The Hamilton Spectator Youth Volunteer of the Year are open to individuals ages 19 and under (as of December 31, 2013) and who have taken on volunteer leadership roles. 

 

The nomination form, available at hamiltonchamber.ca, is asking potential nominators: 

1) Do you know someone who is the ultimate Hamiltonian? 

2) Do you know someone who works tirelessly for their community? 

3) What Hamiltonian, in your estimation, made the most impact on this community in 2013? 

 

A panel of distinguished citizens will use independent research, along with the support letters provided by the nominators, to reach its decision. 

 

The Hamilton Chamber would like to thank event sponsors Royal Bank of Canada, The Hamilton Spectator and the Hamilton Community Foundation for their continued generous support. 

 

Detailed information about the nomination process is available on the Hamilton Chamber website at hamiltonchamber.ca or by contacting Marie Nash at m.nash@hamiltonchamber.ca or 905-522-1151 ext. 227.

Renewal in the News

 

The conversion of the heritage property at 95 

King Street East in downtown Hamilton to a combination cultural centre and artist live-work space is capturing media attention locally and beyond. This distinctive adaptive reuse project - a partnership between CityHousing Hamilton Corporation and the City of Hamilton's Urban Renewal unit headed by Glen Norton - is intended to help spark additional commercial and residential development activity in an area of downtown adjacent to Gore Park. The 95 King development is featured in a Renew Hamilton video case study released earlier this year.   CLICK HERE to explore more.  Accompanying image of upper floor loft apartment by Doublespace Photography courtesy of Thier + Curran Architects.
