Thanks to DNA Member Brad Stewart for all of his hard work in creating the PERFECT outdoor ice rink in the Durand Park. Please click on the link above to see Brad's picture in The Hamilton Spectator, Thursday, January 15, 2009, page A4, which states: "Brad Stewart adds some water to the community rink in Durand Park off Herkimer Street in downtown Hamilton yesterday afternoon. Stewart floods and grooms the ice a couple of times a day."

Roads Operations and Maintenance requests the co-operation of all occupants and owners of buildings and homes throughout the city in the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property within 24 hours after a snowfall. Failure to comply may result in a charge being laid against you under By-law No. 93-296, which provides a maximum penalty of $5,000.00. If it becomes necessary for City crews to do the work, a substantial cost will be added to the property taxes. Don't be slow...clear your snow!

 

For questions or complaints, please contact Municipal Enforcement at 905-546-CITY (2489).
