The Kirkendall Neighbourhood Association (KNA) condemns violence, racism, hate and discrimination in all forms.
It is the understanding of the KNA that the “patriot” march this Sunday, March 25, on Locke St. will promote divisive values of hate and racism that are not welcome here.
Kirkendall is a loving, diverse and inclusive neighbourhood and we denounce this march in the strongest way possible.

If you are interested in providing feedback, please fill out the survey, which will be available until 4 p.m. on March 31, 2018. The Board of Trustees will receive a final recommendation along with a summary of all survey responses received at a Special Board meeting on Monday, April 9, 2018.
Chedoke Golf Course Community Consultation

Ryan McHugh from the City of Hamilton recently spoke to the KNA about options for Chedoke Golf Course.
The current club house is quickly reaching the end of its life and the city would like to hear from residents about what should be done with the golf course land and club house.
Important information: The area is protected by the Niagara Escarpment Commission which means that it is a required green space (no development is allowed in area except updating the existing club house and making it a 25% larger footprint)
The city’s intent is to have a private company to redevelop the space. Golf will stay in some form but they are open to ideas. Focus is on the club house at the moment.
Documents from the city: KNA – Community Consultation – Feb 6th 2018
A few ideas:
- Multi use idea for club house (catering) – it has a great view
- Develop to have people come from all over
- Look at fine dining due to location
- Soccer pitches
- Skiing (downhill)
- X country skiing
- Pond
- Must be accessible
- Splash pad
- Parks
- Bus routes to new area parking needed in area
- Dog park
- 18 holes of golf (as opposed to the current 36)
- Pop up market
- Outdoor theatre space
- Neighbourhood room
- Community kitchen
- Roof top amenity
- Space for festival
- Kinetic exercise equipment
- Allowing community groups to use area for different ideas
We would like to hear from you! Do you have other ideas? Do you have feedback on some of the ideas above?

LRT support needed!

Hello Kirkendall Neighbours!
We received the following letter from our friends at Hamilton Light Rail. We felt it was important to share as it is a time-sensitive matter and an initiative that the KNA fully supports.
Dear friends,
It all comes down to this coming Wednesday. Hamilton City Council is risking the city’s LRT plan in a high-stakes game and things are getting downright ugly.
Council needs to approve an amendment to the Environmental Project Report so that the Environment Ministry can complete its Environmental Assessment for the LRT. The project can’t move forward until this step is finished, meaning the deadline to get a contract signed to build the system before the next Provincial election will be in jeopardy.
Knowing that, a majority of councillors are stalling and filibustering instead of approving the Environmental Report.
Councillors have already hashed over the Environmental Report over two long committee meetings totaling literally 26 hours, and at the end of both meetings they voted to defer a decision. This is despite the fact that there is no good reason not to approve the report and submit it to the Province.
The vote has been pushed back to the upcoming Council meeting this coming Wednesday, April 26. If Council defers a vote again – or, worse, votes against submitting the report, the entire LRT project will be in jeopardy.
We risk losing everything: ten years of planning and development, $1 billion investment in rapid transit, hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure replacement and capacity expansion along the LRT corridor, 3,500 construction jobs, apprenticeship programs for young Hamilton, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in new transit-oriented development that we need to grow our tax base and get the city’s financial affairs in order, and Hamilton’s very reputation as a serious place to invest and do business.
Through a depressing combination of partisanship, gamesmanship, lack of vision, lack of courage and fear of change, there is a very real chance that Council will kill this once-in-a-lifetime chance to transform the future.
We can’t let that happen!
Between now and next week, it is absolutely imperative that your Councillor hear from you and everyone you can convince to do the same. This is especially vital if you live in the ward of one of the “swing” councillors who is still undecided and most likely to end up voting in favour:
- Ward 6 (East Mountain) – Tom Jackson
- Ward 8 (West Mountain) – Terry Whitehead
- Ward 9 (Stoney Creek Mountain) – Doug Conley
- Ward 10 (Stoney Creek) – Maria Pearson
- Ward 13 (Dundas) – Arlene VanderBeek
The best thing you can do to make an impact is pick up the phone and call your councillor. Here are their phone numbers and email addresses:

If there was ever a time to speak up and make your voice heard loud and clear, it is between now and this coming Wednesday.
I’ll be completely honest: if we succeed, this won’t be the last time we have to push Council to do the right thing and stay on track. They will have an opportunity to vote on the Operating and Maintenance Agreement with Metrolinx early next year. This is a long road and we’re not at the finish line yet.
But if this step fails, the whole project may well fail with it. So we have to speak up now – respectfully, optimistically, hopefully – and get through this crisis. Then we’ll start planing to be ready for the next one.
No huge, city-changing project ever came easy, and this is no different. The important thing is not to become discouraged and give up. There are people around the Council table and in the city who want this project to fail, and our cynicism would be their strongest ally.
It’s not too late to save Hamilton’s LRT plan from fear and cynicism, but we all need to push together.
Sincerely,
Ryan McGreal
Hamilton Light Rail
