Hamilton is a very green city, loaded with forests, rivers, ravines and over 100 waterfalls.

One of Canada's longest hiking trails - The Bruce Trail - has it's roots in Hamilton and can be easily accessed by foot.

The stadium was originally constructed in 1928 to host the 1930 British Empire Games, though playing fields had stood on the site since the city bought the land from a local farmer in 1913. The stadium, which currently seats 29,600 for football has been the home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL since 1950.

Ivor Wynne has been home to the Grey Cup game twice, in 1972 and 1996.

It has also been home to several concerts, including the infamous Pink Floyd show in 1975 and Rush in 1979.

Over the next 3 years, Ivor Wynne will undergo a complete re-construction in time for the 2015 PanAm Games.
