A special meeting of Hamilton city council could result in good news for seven local restaurants that were turned down for temporary outdoor patio licenses.

Investigators believe the two men are connected to four incidents on the weekend.

Rockton Elementary School's Beverly campus and Spring Valley Elementary School have closed Friday after being affected by storm damage.

The roadway has been completely closed to traffic since March.

A sidewalk festival, of sorts, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m on Friday is part of its ongoing effort to make the best of things during construction.

Arrests in relation to the June 15 incident in Gage Park have fueled debate and protests around a conflict with the 2SLGBTQ community, the city, and police.

Slapping a hand that's reaching out is no way to find a solution, says Scott Thompson.

Whatever his motives were, clearly the man sentenced for his involvement in last year's Locke Street vandalism has the skills to do more than cover his face, writes Scott Thompson.

Toronto's Danforth is full of great restaurants and shops, and Scott Thompson says it is very much like some of the great downtown 'hoods in Hamilton.

Investigators are seeking the public's help in locating Andrew Cadotte, who becomes the eighth person to face charges in connection with the incident.
