Fire at 33 Hess Street South in a vacant part of the structure.
A Hamilton Police constable on scene says this is now a police "active investigation."
Eyewitnesses showed me video recorded before Fire Department arrived. It was an intense fire with flames shooting out the windows. #hamont

Now on TPR:

The Ontario Land Tribunal held the first case management hearing for the White Church Road urban boundary expansion application last week.

No surprises at the CMC. The City and developers told to organize an issues list. Hearing dates will likely be in 2027. #yhmcc

Now on TPR

Hamilton's Committee of Adjustment is holding firm against intensification in Ancaster's "stable" single-detached neighbourhoods.

This week's Hamilton Committee of Adjustment was one of the shortest in years.

The next meeting, 😬, the first agenda version is 1263 pages. It will likely surpass 1800 pages by October 30 as staff review and public comments are posted. #yhmcc

There is no mechanism for removal from elected office for these behaviours.

15 innings! Mariners win.

A great game for the Blue Jays, the Mariners exhausted their bullpen.

4 hour 58 minute long game!

That was exciting to watch.

All I'm thinking right now is keep playing boys.

I want the Tigers to win, but not yet.

The Mariners and Tigers still have pitchers they haven't completely exhausted.

Top of the 12th Inning. This is exciting to watch.

Hoping for a Detroit Tigers win tonight. A Highway 401 league championship series will be great fun to watch and experience.

I asked Hamilton Mountain MPP Monica Cirello her position on speed camera.

She stated the Premier's position is known.

Asked to clarify her position:

"The Premier's been clear about what we're going to do with speed cameras. I have no other comment."

And the final question is what changes are expected in the next six months.

Mayor Horwath says there will be much change at City Hall in how the City does things, and services. #yhmcc

Chamber CEO questions are tariffs and trade.

Yes, a weird typo for sure. Thanks

'Fireside chat' is between Greg Dunnett, Chamber President and CEO, and Mayor Andrea Horwath.

The Chamber no longer does open mic questions, due to past hijacking. #yhmcc

The speech ended a few minutes ago. The various sponsors of the breakfast are providing their remarks... 'fireside chat' will begin shortly. #yhmcc
