HELLO, NEIGHBOUR!
The Strathcona Community Council is the citizen voice for the Strathcona neighbourhood of Hamilton, Ontario. This area is bounded by Queen Street to the east, Main Street to the south, the harbour to the north and Highway 403 to the west. If you live within these boundaries, you are already a member. Welcome to one of the best places to live in Hamilton!
Code of Conduct
SCC is a community group of volunteers with a commitment to foster and maintain a culture where:
Everyone is treated with dignity and respect
Everyone is supported and accepted
Everyone is free from discrimination and harassment
SCC Executive meetings are welcoming, respectful and open to all in the Strathcona neighbourhood.
Events and Issues
The Strathcona Community Council is engaged with the neighbourhood and wants to encourage involvement from as many community members as possible. This is where we live! Our meetings are open to the public and often we seek volunteers and/or local businesses to support our efforts.
Meeting Agendas and Minutes
The Strathcona Community Council meets once a month and has an Annual General Meeting. Meeting agendas are normally posted five days prior to the meeting and minutes are posted as they are available, but prior to the next meeting.
Cool Things We’ve Done
Due to the longstanding commitment of many volunteers, the Strathcona Community Council has been offering community events for a number of years. Take a look at some of our past activities and consider getting involved!
Land Acknowledgement
We take this time to recognize that Strathcona is situated on the traditional territory of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Mississauga and Haudenosaunee. This land is shared between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Anishinaabe nations as acknowledged in the Dish With One Spoon Wampum belt. That wampum uses the symbolism of a dish to represent the territory, and the one spoon to represent that the people are to share the resources of the land and take only what they need.
