A long standing Hamilton tradition is to gather up the family and friends and head out for a Good Friday Walk.
This seems to be a Hamilton thing, people from other Cities have never heard of this before.....
If you are looking for a walk and would like to see some of our waterfalls come and join in on the fun!!
This Good Friday we will tour Albion, Buttermilk, and also see the 3 new waterfalls just discovered as well. ( though they might be dried up at that point)
We will also hike a section of the rail trail, and also the original Mountain Brow Road from 100 years ago!!

Allison Park's Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Hey folks!!
This just in, I have gotten word that the Easter Bunny and all his helpers will be coming to Hamilton's Best Neighbourhood, Allison Park, where they will be hiding just a " hare " over 20,000 chocolate eggs again this year!!!
This years event will be Saturday April 11, 2009 at 12 Noon, SHARP!!!!!
Please keep the little ones on the sidewalks and pathways, and keep them off the grass as the Easter Bunny has hidden all the chocolate eggs there.
All of the construction materials have been removed, and I will be doing a last minute cleanup at the end of the week as well.
It looks like we will finally be having some good weather this year, WOW what a difference a year can make!!
One of my waterfall cars will be there as well, so come on out bring the kids and family, and lets have some fun!
This is a free event, no cost, just bring a smile that's your admission :)

Tulips are popping up in Allison Park
While cleaning up today, I noticed that our pink tulips are starting to pop up, which is another sign of spring!!!
This year I will also add some new flowers in the park and around our trees in the park and also at the entrance way into our neighbourhood as well.
Allison Park Spring Clean Up
Today was the start of my annual clean up throughout the neighbourhood, you may have seen myself and my associate out and about cleaning, raking, and picking up garbage.
This is all to get ready for my annual Easter Egg Hunt, which will take place in a couple of weeks.
The park is going to be a challenge this year, I am going to fix the fencing the day before the hunt, but parents are going to have to keep an eye on their children this year to make sure they do not venture into the construction areas.
I will do my best to make it as safe as possible, we are going to be doing a park sweep through again the day beforehand.
There is some broken glass, and we have been cleaning that up today, but if there is anything you notice please let me know, I don't want the little ones cutting there hands.
One thing I noticed this year was small shards of sliced up pop can that the grass cutter did last year.
Everyone can help in this regard, if you see pop cans and glass bottles, please pick them up and put in your recycle bin.
There are also a few neighbours that pitch in and have helped clean the park, to them my back says THANK YOU!!!!!!
The clean up will continue over the weeks to come, whenever the weather co-operates we will be out cleaning up.
Thank you again to everyone that helps out, we can all do our own little bit, by picking up garbage around our houses, on the street in front of our house, or in the park if you are there.

The City also came by with their new truck, which is really neat, thanks guys for picking up the garbage!

Happy New Year Allison Park Residents
I just wanted to quickly wish everyone a Happy New Year, lets hope to a short winter!
Please keep the fire hydrants clear of snow, and during the melts, if you have a sewer please shovel it out so the water can run in.
We had a major delay in finishing the park before the winter hit, but look for it to be finished in the spring time.
All the best for 2009!
