Sustainable Hamilton – enabling sustainability in business

The City of Hamilton, Ontario is a city on the cusp of change. Although most Canadians think of Hamilton as “steel town,” the people who live and work here know this is only part of the story. The Niagara Escarpment, running right through Hamilton provides over 100 waterfalls and is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. We have world-class academic and healthcare institutions, an educated workforce and we are developing many exciting new technologies.

Sustainable Hamilton is a new non-profit corporation with a powerful vision for Hamilton as the city with the greatest commitment to sustainable development in North America. We envision a world-class city with a vibrant, resilient economy, exceptional quality of life and healthy natural environment.

This vision is shared by sustainability experts and local business and community leaders in Hamilton who are supporting and guiding Sustainable Hamilton to make it a reality.
