A leisurely walk of 3-4 km through one of Ancaster’s older neighbourhoods. We will be walking on sidewalks & side streets that are bounded on three sides by the Hamilton Golf and Country Club, Wilson Street and Fiddler’s Green Road. We’ll look at a neighbourhood in transition with a focus on architecture and older trees, and talk about Hamilton’s new Urban Forest Strategy.
Before the walk, join us for a tour of the museum which includes the “Wish You Were Here” display. This will be followed by a gentle walk of 2-3 km, with stops to learn about some buildings in this historic town that was once the industrial centre of Lower Canada and is beautifully decorated for Christmas.
