Proposed Encampment Protocol Public Engagement
As a community, it is important that we have a response to encampments, as, encampments will continue to exist in Hamilton as well as other cities across Canada in the short-term until more housing is built and much needed investments in health and social services are made by the Provincial and Federal governments.
We are asking members of the public to review and comment on the proposals being considered by City Council to inform the materials that will be presented to Council in August 2023.
NEWS & NOTICES
Land Acknowledgment
The City of Hamilton is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Today, the City of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.
