Hamilton, Ontario is known for many things. Thoughts of the city may remind us of Steel Town and Hamilton’s industrial (& industrious) past. The Niagara Escarpment that divides the city into north and south also brings forth over 100 waterfalls in the city, many of which are open to the public to visit and to admire. A thriving, eclectic neighbourhood that’s great for a stroll is Locke Street. Walk along Locke to discover a delightful selection of stores from antique shops, vintage clothing, children’s toys and delectable eateries like the Sweetness Bakery.

One of Hamilton’s unique and glorious treasures though is the Art Gallery. Founded in 1914, the AGH is the third largest public art gallery in Canada. Located downtown at 123 King Street West, the AGH is home to many exhibits and currently is showing Nature and Spirit: Emily Carr’s Coastal Landscapes.
