National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - Orange Shirt Day
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Join us this Saturday, September 30th, as we celebrate Hamilton’s newest piece of public art entitled ‘All Our Relations’ by local Indigenous artist, Angela DeMontigny and artist team, Paull Rodrigue Glass, Cobalt Connects, Lafontaine Iron Werks Inc. and EXP.
