The City of Hamilton owns several facilities where external user groups typically operate and offer various types of programming...
...The City is working closely with these groups to ensure reopenings in these facilities are safe and meet all of the health and safety requirements before programming may resume. As we continue our efforts to safely reopen facilities, the Emergency Operations Centre will...
...continue to review and approve individual requests for reopening, and once the user groups return to in-person operations, the City will monitor to ensure compliance with the health & safety requirements.
The City has been working closely with the boards for various seniors centres and clubs in Hamilton to determine reopening plans and gauge interest in resuming programming. In collaboration with the City, the boards have voted on the capacity, ability and interest to...
...return fall programming. The following boards have chosen to resume limited programming:

Dundas Senior Club (Sept 15)
Sackville Senior Centre (Oct 5)

Winona Senior’s Club (Oct 5)

All other boards have chosen to remain closed for the fall season.
Beginning September 30, the City will reopen three additional museums. This includes Battlefield House Museum & Park National Historic Site, Fieldcote Memorial Park & Museum and Ancaster Old Town Hall.
In mid-July, the City reopened the first and second floors City Hall and began offering limited planning and building services on the first floor. Beginning Sept 16, in-person business licensing services will be available at City Hall between 8:30am-4:30pm on Wednesdays only.
Hamilton Animal Services has continued to operate through the pandemic, though the public counter at 247 Dartnall Road has been closed since early March. The public counter and lobby area of Animal Services will reopen to allow for public access...

For an appointment at FirstOntario Centre, or another clinic location depending on availability of vaccine, please call the Public Health Services COVID-19 Hotline at 905-974-9848, option 7. This is a by-appointment-only clinic, walk-ins are not permitted.
Proof of address must be shown when arriving for an appointment if eligibility is due to a hot spot address. Due to potential call volumes expected at the call centre, we ask that those who are calling for an appointment are patient and call back if the lines are busy.

With cases of COVID-19 on the rise in #HamOnt and across Ontario, Hamilton’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, is echoing the announcement made by Premier Doug Ford earlier today and recommending that residents move away from the concept of the “social circle”
and limit close interactions to those within their households.

Trends in COVID-19 cases in Hamilton are showing that the virus is most commonly being transmitted at private social gatherings, in situations where people are not practicing appropriate physical distancing,
and when people are not wearing masks indoors or in other settings where physical distancing is a challenge.

With businesses and schools reopening, and many residents returning to work, the concept of a social circle no longer reflects the reality of our daily lives,

A COVID-19 and #HamiltonReopens Update from the City of Hamilton.

Release>>hamilton.ca/government-inf… #HamOnt
Today, the City of Hamilton is entering Phase Three of the Hamilton Reopens COVID-19 recovery plan. Hamilton will be in Phase Three for a while – it is our “new reality” – and we will be here until a COVID-19 vaccine or other treatments are available and are in widespread use.
We'll reopen more municipal spaces & continue implementing measures to enable physical distancing & health screening of those visiting our spaces. As well, we’ll focus on bringing more municipal services, recreation programming & events back online with a safe & phased approach.
