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.

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?
