Big news for commuters — and a big win for downtown. 🚆

Upgrades to West Harbour GO Station are now complete, saving Niagara commuters up to 15 minutes per round trip and unlocking 4x more train trips between Hamilton and Niagara Falls. Every train — including weekend and off-peak — will now stop at West Harbour GO.

Why this matters to The Commons:
• More trips = more access to downtown Hamilton.
• Better connection for residents, businesses, and culture.
• A vital step toward revitalizing our core and bringing people in.

💛 Hamilton Highlight: @charityofhope

For 25 years, Charity of Hope has supported youth in need — reminding them they are seen, valued, and not alone.

“The concept of this charity started amongst our friends at our local YMCA. After some of our feisty handball games, we would collect $5 dollars from everyone and donate it to a child or a family that was in need.” - Sam Mercanti, founder

Today, that spark has grown into a community movement lighting up lives across Hamilton.

Thank you to the founders and everyone involved in building hope.

Big things are happening behind the scenes at the Hamilton Arena 👀

With over 300 workers on-site daily, construction crews are hard at work transforming this space into something truly next level — and we mean transforming.

💬 “We’re calling it more of a transformation because over 80% of the building is being renovated,” says Ryan Zrenda, VP of Project Management at OVG. “In some ways, it will be unrecognizable.”

We’re racing toward a late 2025 reopening — and it’s already starting to take shape. Stay tuned as we bring this downtown icon into the future!

“Hamilton’s dynamic music scene and rich cultural heritage make it an ideal location for the JUNO Awards. We are thrilled to return to Hamilton and be one of the first events in Hamilton’s newly renovated downtown arena.” - says Allan Reid, President & CEO, of CARAS/The JUNO Awards.

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences/The JUNO Awards are coming back in 2026—and this time, they’ll take stage at the newly transformed Hamilton Arena Project!

Thank you - @thejunoawards, @oakviewgroup, @tourismhamilton, @cityofhamilton, and Province of Ontario.
