If you missed our webinar with Phil Pothen, land-use lawyer for Environmental Defence, and Ward 12 Councillor Craig Cassar on why we should and how we can defend Hamilton's firm urban boundary against speculator expansion click the image above for the recording!
Hosted by Hamilton 350, Environment Hamilton, Stop Sprawl HamOnt, and Save Our Streams Hamilton.
