Remembering Bill Filer

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bill Filer, past President of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce (1992). Our condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.
 
"I would like to extend my condolences to Bill Filer's family.  I had the pleasure
of working with Bill numerous times on a variety of committees and in associations such as the Business Executives Organizations for years but the most memorable time was when he helped us out with our office building in Westdale.  His knowledge, experience, and friendship provided me with invaluable support in our decisions.  He was always very direct, but always so professional.  Bill represented integrity in all that he touched and his legacy of work in the City with be a kind reflection of his good work in the future."

- Judy Marsales
Urban Design Studies Go To Council


Three study reports detailing proposed design improvements to major areas of downtown Hamilton head to City Council in September. The reports cover the areas of Barton-Tiffany (pictured above), the James Street North mobility hub anchored by the GO train station now under construction, and the Barton Street and Kenilworth Avenue commercial corridors. Featured recommendations - which range from complete streets and green pathways to heritage conservation and higher densities - set out a vision and guidelines for inspired urban environments needed to attract people and investment. If approved by Council, the reports will trigger an exciting period of managed growth in the heart of our city. According to the Chamber's Renew Hamilton Project, there's "plenty to cheer about" for businesses keen to participate in Hamilton's renewal economy.
