City of Hamilton

Hamilton is a medium-sized city in southwest Ontario that features a rich cultural heritage and vibrant, welcoming neighbourhoods. Located only about 75 kilometres southwest of Toronto, it is the third-largest city in Ontario and the ninth-largest city in Canada. Almost 25% of Hamilton’s 500,000 residents were born outside of Canada.

Hamilton is well-known for producing steel, but the industry and job market are changing. Today, major industries in Hamilton include manufacturing, bioscience and medical and agriculture.
