Neighbourhood Initiatives Annual Report August29.Indd “Hamilton is unique among Canadian ci es because our Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy engages residents beyond just cas ng a ballot on elec on day. I’m very proud as Mayor to see the residents provide sensible sustainable ideas within their neighbourhood context that staff can actually implement within a reasonable meline. The key word is ‘Ac on’ which makes us diff erent from other engagement strategies.” - Mayor Bob Bra na, City of Hamilton Right: Community Development Workers and Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy Offi ce staff with McQuesten resident Pat Reid and Jim Diers, Tamarack Conference, June 2013 i Message from the City Manager, City of Hamilton Over the last three years, the City of Hamilton has spent considerable me and energy crea ng a Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy. This program or be er put, this new way of thinking and ac ng has been transforma onal for us as an organiza on, but also for the community and our ins tu onal partners. Since its ini a on in 2010, in partnership with the Hamilton Community Founda on, we have engaged residents within 11 City neighbourhoods. The Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy has provided the frame work for the “horizontal integra on” of neighbourhood work that not only ensures the eff ec ve and effi cient delivery of service at a neighbourhood level, but assists us, the City, in crea ng a stronger working rela onship with residents and key stakeholders within those neighbourhoods. In September 2012, our fi rst four Neighbourhood Ac on Plans completed by the residents of the Keith, S nson, McQuesten and Beasley Neighbourhoods were presented and endorsed by Hamilton City Council. At that mee ng I can truly say that I was overwhelmed with what I saw. The energy in the room was inspira onal. Residents presented their plans, spoke passionately about their hopes and wishes for their community and their neighbourhoods, and in the end there was unanimous support and a strong desire to keep moving forward by all. Four addi onal plans for the Riverdale, Davis Creek (formerly Quigley Road) South Sherman and Jamesville Neighbourhoods have also been completed and presented to City Council for endorsement in 2013, shi ing the primary focus from the planning phase into implementa on across eight of the 11 priority neighbourhoods. It is an cipated that the remaining three plans will be completed by the end of 2014. These Neighbourhood Ac on Plans are truly community plans, refl ec ng the issues that are most relevant and pressing to the residents that live in each neighbourhood, highligh ng what the residents themselves hope can be achieved. The Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy has played a large role in helping to strengthen rela onships with key ins tu ons and encourage new community involvement and investments from both the private and public sectors, as evident in the pages of this fi rst Annual Report. As I look forward to the con nued work between residents, community partners and the City of Hamilton, it is important to take stock of the great work and signifi cant results that have already been achieved. Thank-you to all par cipants in this very important ini a ve and I look forward to our con nued progress together. Chris Murray, City Manager ii Message from Hamilton Community Foundation When Hamilton Community Founda on launched its neighbourhood focus back in 2002, our goal was to have a signifi cant impact on quality of life for residents. Li le did we imagine that eight years later the City of Hamilton would adopt that focus and expand its scope into the strategy that exists today. Over the last decade, the Founda on has invested close to $10 million into the communi es showcased in this report. Beginning with our “Growing Roots… Strengthening Neighbourhoods” ini a ve where we piloted the neighbourhood community development worker approach, leading to our mul -year poverty grantmaking focus, through to the new Neighbourhood Leadership Ins tute, Hamilton Community Founda on has held fast to two principles: • We believe that every neighbourhood has assets: people with ideas and strengths and “These are truly skills to off er. Our job is to help them build on those assets. remarkable people who exemplify the • We believe that residents know best what their neighbourhoods need. Our job is to listen, to be responsive, and to help their voices be heard. no on of smart and caring communi es… One of our proudest yet most humbling moments took place last year when we watched their collabora on ci zens present their neighbourhood ac on plans to City Council. It felt like a culmina on with residents and of our approach and a celebra on of Hamilton’s vibrancy. These great teams, backed by other community hundreds of their neighbours and energized with vision, courage and hope, are the ul mate organiza ons is inspiring” return on our investment. Their dedica on is transforming their communi es block by block with great resident leadership, be er safety, more ci zens engaged, blossoming Governor General David local pride, and many visible improvements to services, facili es and streetscapes. Johnston, commen ng on mee ng the McQuesten Of course there is more to be done and more to learn about how best to do it – building Planning Team, April 2012 communi es is ongong, never sta c – but our neighbourhoods have shown that, with commi ed support from responsive partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors, they are more than up to the challenge.

New 28 | South Sherman Neighbourhood (Ward 3) partnerships are being formed with businesses, organiza ons and key ins tu ons to access the resources necessary to move the Ac on Plans forward. This is the fi rst annual report and highlights some of the accomplishments to date. It is impressive to see what has been achieved but we all know there is s ll much more work to be done. With our community development approach and the shared commitment to ACTION I know we will con nue to make our neighbourhoods healthier places to live, work, play and learn. Enjoy this year’s annual report and please keep up to date on our work by going to our website at: www.hamilton.ca/neighbourhoods Paul Johnson, Director, Neighbourhood Action Strategies iv v Hamilton’s NEIGHBOURHOOD ACTION STRATEGY Suzanne Brown, Manager, Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy Hamilton has a long history of people and organiza ons working together to make posi ve changes in our community. The City’s Neighbourhood Ac on Strategies Offi ce was established to work with residents and local leaders to make neighbourhoods be er and healthier places for all residents to live, work, learn, and play. Through funding from the Hamilton Community Founda on, Best Start Network, and with the help of many partners, the Neighbourhood Ac on Strategy engages residents to improve condi ons for everyone in the neighbourhoods through an asset based, community development supported neighbourhood planning process. People in all neighbourhoods deserve to be as healthy as they can be and deserve to live in vibrant places.

We sought to examine the effect of integrated palliative and oncology care on QOL, mood, post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms, and EOL outcomes in patients with AML. Methods: We conducted a multi-site randomized trial of integrated palliative and oncology care (n = 86) versus usual oncology care (n = 74) for patients with AML undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Patients assigned to the intervention were seen by palliative care clinicians at least twice per week during their hospitalization for induction chemotherapy and all subsequent hospital- izations.

  • THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation
    THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation Results The following are a list of the comments provided by members of the public during consultation at the Tourism Information Centre and online at the City of Hamilton website from March 7 to March 20 2017. Thank you to the 220 people who have provided their comments to date. Dave Kuruc • Dave Kuruc is my first choice. Music brings people of all ages and backgrounds together. This would be a beautiful tribute to our city. • I love Dave Kuruc's proposal (truly, all three are lovely, but Dave gets my vote): Hamilton is a diverse city in so many ways, and Dave's proposal speaks to the artistic diversity of the city; and the celebration of Hamilton-born music is such an accessible and universally appealing point of entry and the submission can be appreciated on so many levels. • I like Dave Kuruc the best. It's very urban • I think Dave Kuruc's vision pieces together both visual artists and the art of musicians. In this way it showcases a part of Hamilton's downtown in a creative collaborative way. It includes more than just one artist's work and even more than just one type of art. The snippets of lyrics will invite people to guess the artist and the particular song. Knowing our local musicians and their work is a point of pride for Hamiltonians. I can imagine people gathering with competing guesses about the lyrics. How fitting people could read such markers at Supercrawl and perhaps hear the songs from the park.
