Municipal Election

24 October 2022

With the provincial election having come and gone, we’re mobilizing for October’s municipal election. We have the opportunity to elect a number of progressive, environmentally friendly councillors in an attempt to stem at a local level some of the damage that will be inflicted on the environment by the Ford government.

76 days to go!

Visit the City of Hamilton website for a list of nominated candidates.

Visit ielect Hamilton for candidate profiles.

26 Jul 2022: Andrea Horwath has announced that she will be running for Mayor of Hamilton in October.

Sarah Jama has announced that she is seeking the NDP nomination to replace her as MPP for Hamilton Centre.

18 Jul 2022: In a chilling article (pun not intended) in The Guardian, George Monbiot makes the case that incrementalism is no longer enough. We need wholesale system change. Join us in attempting to change the system in Hamilton!

15 Jun: Local activist Craig Cassar has announced that he will be running in Ward 12 (Ancaster). Watch Craig’s interview with Laura Babcock on The OShow.

New & Noteworthy

26 Jul 2022: A major new initiative has been announced by an international youth coalition to “revive the youth movement, create new alliances, radicalize, engage the whole of society to support and occupy, and envision the world we want – where life and not profit is at the center….” Events are planned between September and December 2022.

24 Jul 2022: John Harris cites Canadian band Weather Station in an opinion piece calling for more disruptive action on the environment.

Hamilton 350 depends on the efforts of volunteers

We urgently need systemic change to address and minimize the effects of the climate crisis being felt all over the world. While we can’t solve the world’s problems, we can do what we can to address the situation in our own backyard.

To do that, we need you and your energy, whether it’s for ongoing work in our sub-groups (see below) or for one-off actions and events.

I'd like more information about Hamilton 350

If you don’t have spare time on your hands but can afford to make a GoFundMe donation to help further our work:

There are costs associated with organizing and holding events, getting the word out, providing honoraria for speakers and performers, hosting this website, and much more.

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississauga peoples, which are governed by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Agreement and are covered by the Great Lakes Purchase of 1792.

@ProfitGreenly @NatBullard @JesseJenkins US has more than 40% of its power now from zero carbon sources. USA deploying 100GWs of RE per year would generate enough additional zero carbon to cover remaining 60% in less than 20 years. Extraordinary what IRA means. I’m 65 but may live long to see 100% zero carbon US grid.

IRA will skyrocket annual new wind capacity to 39GWs and new solar capacity to 49GWs by 2025-2026, with much bigger increases to annual solar and wind deployment by 2029-2030. It means solar and wind will soon deploy more than 100GWs every year. Wow!! Data from @jessejenkins.

This webinar explored the connections between struggles to protect water and land on different sides of the country. The Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) is financing the construction of warehouses on top of the 140 Garner Road Marsh, and at the same time supporting the construction of the Coastal GasLink (CGL) fracked gas pipeline through unceded Wet’suwet’en territory without consent of the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs. If successful, AIMCo will pave over the headwaters of Ancaster Creek and damage the forest and watershed in Wet’suwet’en territory in Northern British Columbia. Additionally, their appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal, to pave over the Garner Road Marsh following our successful campaign to protect it and the Hamilton Conservation Authority’s denial of a permit for the warehouse project, may result in the weakening of Conservation Authorities across Ontario. This company is the poster child for destructive capitalism that sacrifices nature to make money. We will explore aspects of AIMCo’s destructive efforts to pave over the Ancaster Wetland and drive the CGL pipeline through traditional territory of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, risking the pristine Wedzin Kwa river. The Wedzin Kwa is the Wet’suwet’en people’s source of clean drinking water and home to rich communities of fish and wildlife. We shared concrete actions that you, our audience, can help with to protect the headwaters of Ancaster Creek from this Alberta company. GUEST SPEAKERS: - Carrie Hewitson: Ancaster farmer and neighbour to the threatened wetland - Danielle Boissoneau, Anishnaabe kwe, writer, public speaker, and organizer working towards food sovereignty and liberation for Indigenous peoples.

Last month we broke down the provincial changes being made to conservation authorities and our concerns with the direction they take us. One such change is the removal of many citizen conservation authority board members and an increased number of seats for local municipal councillors on these boards. At this month's webinar, we explored the impact of this change and looked at recent citizen wins with respect to natural feature offsetting and the campaign to stop sprawl. We examined what role engaged citizens, developers, and Hamilton City Councillors have played in these discussions and questioned the process by which the board members are selected. Watch this recording to learn about these monumental wins and what challenges remain ahead of us including the ongoing attempts to develop the wetland located at 140 Garner Rd and the need for real action on the climate emergency.

Nearly a year ago the Ford government passed legislation stripping some powers of conservation authorities, sparking mass resignations. Hamilton 350 responded with two initiatives to follow these changes: Conservation Matters and Conservation Watch. Conservation Matters, a monthly webinar series, seeks to connect and inform those pushing back against this government attack on our environment. Our group has hosted webinars to connect with and learn from those successfully organizing across the province. Conservation Watch is a volunteer watchdog initiative where residents watch and report on conservation authority meetings. We have been learning about the important roles conservation authorities play in flood prevention and watershed management as well as successfully intervening in development proposals to protect local wetlands from development. There are 36 conservation authorities across Ontario that are organized on the level of the watershed. In 2019, the province told CAs to get out of non-mandatory programs. Then, in December 2020, despite widespread opposition, they passed legislation imposing significant changes on CAs. Some changes went into effect immediately: Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO) rules required CAs to grant permits and eliminated most citizen members of CA boards. Now a year after they were first announced the province has finalized the regulations that define the core mandate of CAs. The Core mandate is now limited to flooding, erosion, and managing existing lands. That only includes a small part of what CAs do, putting everything else in financial jeopardy. Programs are now dependent on municipal council decisions and special agreements for each. On Wednesday, we heard from 350 Hamilton’s Conservation Authority Watchers, saw content from the Grand River Conservation Authority meeting where board members discussed the impact of these changes, and heard from Hassaan Basit the chair of Halton Conservation Authority. Hassaan sat on the provincial working group that advised on these regulations and gave us some great perspective. We also heard from Environmental Lawyer Phil Pothen from Environmental Defence, who shared how these changes to “kneecap conservation authorities” are part of a broader, developer-driven provincial agenda, along with forced sprawl and mega-highways. Then we heard from you, we asked our audience how we go from where we are to where we need to be. Stay tuned for an update about our next webinar soon.

On June 30 we were privileged to be joined by Skyler Williams, Danielle Boissoneau, and Makaśa Looking Horse. They shared invaluable information about the importance of developing relationships with water and land, and of supporting Indigenous land titles, safe living spaces, and access to clean drinking water in the face of unnecessary $prawl in Hamilton, Caledonia, etc. As Skyler put it, "[t]his is our land. We have the right to say no. We should not be criminalized for refusing to consent when developers want to pave over our lands." CONSULTATION ≠ CONSENT Take action to #StopSprawl in Hamilton now.
