E-Post Tax Billing Process

The City of Hamilton is pleased to offer residents an easy and convenient option to receive your tax bills.  The City and Canada Post have partnered to provide citizens with the option of receiving their tax bills electronically through Canada Post's e-post process.  Citizens can sign up now to receive their June 2009 tax bill electronically by visiting the e-post website at www.epost.ca. For taxpayers currently paying their tax bills online through their financial institution, most of those institutions have a direct link to the e-post website.  There are several benefits to receiving your tax bill electronically, it's fast and convenient, environmentally friendly, secure and private.  Bills can be stored and retrieved for up to seven years.  Please note, residents who do not have access to the internet or prefer the regular mail delivery process will still continue to receive their tax bills via regular mail.

 

Hiking Hamilton Waterfalls & Map

The Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) has produced a new brochure and map highlighting 10 waterfall walks within the City's boundaries.  The creation of the map is part of the Hamilton Waterfalls project.  The project was developed by HCA and its numerous partners to inform residents, educate children and draw visitors, not only to waterfalls found within Hamilton, but to our Niagara Escarpment parks, the Ontario Greenbelt, the Bruce Trail, the Dundas and Red Hill valleys and Hamilton's extensive regional trails network.  For a copy of the new hiking map and brochure, contact my office and I will have one mailed to your home.

 

Multi-use Pathway essential as part of lift bridge upgrades

For Immediate Release - (March 17th, 2009)

Collins:  Multi-use pathway essential as part of lift bridge upgrades

Hamilton, ON -- March 17th, 2009 - Today, the Government of Canada announced a multi million dollar infrastructure project for the cities of Burlington and Hamilton as part of the governments 'Economic Action Plan'.  Councillor Chad Collins is calling on the Ministry of Public Works and Government Services to include the construction of a functional and safe multi-use pathway on the lake side of Burlington Lift Bridge. 

In 2005, Councillor Collins presented a motion to Hamilton City Council urging the Federal Government to construct a pathway that would link the communities of Hamilton and Burlington.  The motion requested Public Works Canada to co-operate with the two municipalities with the design and construction of a lake side multi-use pathway to assist the tens of thousands of trail users who frequent the newly constructed waterfront trails. 

"It's time for the Federal Government to recognize the importance of the trail link.  A new lake side pathway on the lift bridge will greatly improve the safe crossing of the canal for pedestrians and cyclists, and eliminate the need to cross one of the areas busiest roads, Eastport Drive."
