Councillor Cameron Kroetsch
Happy New Year North Enders! I hope you were able to take some time to relax and unwind at the end of 2022 – it was a long and difficult year for many in our community.
For the Ward 2 Team, December was a whirlwind of new routines and connections but we took some time off to rest and rejuvenate and we’re ready to hit the ground running in 2023. If you haven’t heard, we increased our office hours to better serve residents. We’re now open until 8:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
In December, I had the privilege to speak at the Stop Sprawl HamOnt rally held in the forecourt at City Hall and a response to grave injustices in our city. I was proud to represent Ward 2 and grateful for the opportunity to offer solidarity and support.
We’re kicking off 2023 by rolling out our Ward 2 communication tools including a public calendar, newsletter, and website. Our website will include notices, maintenance and road repair information, and it’s where the Ward 2 Team will keep track of the motions I bring forward at Council meetings. The new website – www.ward2hamilton.ca <http://www.ward2hamilton.ca/> – will launch later this month.
This January will also see the relaunch of the Ward 2 Community Council, with an amended terms of reference and a renewed focus that will include tenants, tenant organizations, and other community groups.
As always, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to the Ward 2 Team directly at Ward2@hamilton.ca or through our new office phone number at (905) 546-2197. See you out there!
