Mauro Brunetti, Chairman of the Steering Committee for
the King William Art Walk is pleased announced the
successful artists in the King William Art Walk Bench
Design competition. The three local artists selected are
Joan Sturch from Stoney Creek, Steven Twigg from
Hamilton and John Carter from Smithville. Their design
proposals will be used to create benches to be placed
on King William as part of the King William Art Walk.
These designs can be viewed online at the City’s Art in
Public Places website, www.hamilton.ca/publicart. Each
artist will receive $1500 for their designs. Installation of
the benches is planned for summer 2012.
The King William Art Walk is a joint
project of the Hamilton Arts
Council, the Downtown Hamilton
Business Improvement Area
(BIA), the International Village
Business Improvement Area
(BIA) and the City of Hamilton.
Art Walk began as a vision by
the organizations involved
more than four years ago and
is inspired by the Art Walk in
Rochester, New York.
The mission of King William Art Walk is to foster, create
and maintain through partnerships a designated urban
art trail by connecting arts and cultural activity centres in
the downtown core. The trail will create an animated
environment which will encourage increased exposure to
a variety of artistic and cultural experiences. In addition,
it will contribute to economic renewal through increased
tourism and investment. The vision is to transform the
street to prove that art can be anywhere in urban
environments, not just in concert halls, theatre’s, galleries
and museums, but literally right on the street. Its first
phase extends from Ferguson Avenue through to James
Street North on King William.
The King William Art Walk Steering Committee will be
considering other art projects for the area. As well,
business and property owners along the street are
eligible for grants from the City of Hamilton if they
incorporate art into the façades of their buildings.

Temporary Occupancy Policy
Approved As Part Of Open For
Business Review
The City’s new Open For Business Sub-committee kick
started the review process in November 2011 by
approving a staff recommendation to assist businesses
in interim periods where final approval of the City’s
comprehensive Zoning By-Law or a submitted Zone
Change Application is expected to permit the business
use. Staff would be authorized to approve all
applications for temporary occupancy for a business
use not currently but expected to be in full compliance
with the Zoning bylaw. Staff will also be able to proceed
with issuing a business license and sign permits as well
which will open the flood gates for dozens of
businesses whose applications have been sitting for
months waiting for the Province to approve the City’s
application for a new Zoning Bylaw.
The Business Facilitation department housed on the
first floor of City Hall provides a location where
entrepreneurs can go to begin the process of opening
a business in Hamilton. Since staff have moved back
into City Hall there has been a significant increase in the
amount of traffic and enquiries. Staff discuss zoning,
Hamilton’s Winterfest this year will
occur for 7 days from February 4 to
11 this year and includes a wide
variety of winter activities and
programs for everyone’s enjoyment.
The Winterfest kickoff is at Pier 8 Ice
Rink on February 4th from 1 – 3:30
pm with a funfilled afternoon of ice
sculptures, musical entertainment,
fire eaters, free hot dogs and hot chocolate and much
more. Then throughout the week various other activities
such as free wagon rides, family sled decorating contests,
pancake breakfasts, concerts will occur at various
recreation centres, parks and arenas throughout
Hamilton. For a complete list of activities go to
www.hamiltonwinterfest.ca or call 905 546-2424 x 2747.
The City of Hamilton would like to invite all restaurants,
cafes and fast food businesses in Hamilton to participate
in the SWEET TASTE OF WINTER program by offering a
building permits, timing of applications, development
charges, and parkland dedication and parking
requirements upfront with the applicants. Change of
use permits are also being identified to the applicants
and provide a link to three city divisions dealing with
zoning and consultations,. A check list is being
provided to the applicants to help them through the
process.
The Committee is also reviewing other zoning changes
to assist small businesses and minor variances that
might be required as well as improvements to the City’s
website with applications, zoning maps on line as well.
The City would like to hear from you if you have a
suggestion or concern about the process for opening
a business in Hamilton by contacting Chris Philips, at
[email protected] or 905 546.2424 x5304.
The first report from the Committee is located at:
www.hamilton.ca/NR/rdonlyres/308CF3E9-F38C-4E86B7CC-03A1D4C49B9E/0/Dec12EDRMS_n240797_v1_
Open_for_Business_Report_11001.pdf
choice of a $20.00 or $30.00 fixed
menu which can be used to entice
and tempt local residents and
tourists to visit Hamilton’s great
restaurants. Be a part of Sweet
Taste of Winter and have your
restaurant listed on the Hamilton
Winterfest website with your
restaurant name, location, phone
number and website. If you want to extend the time frame
for your SWEET TASTE OF WINTER special menus that
would be great as well. You can have it start earlier or
extend later than the actual dates of Winterfest if you wish
to capture more business during the next few weeks. A
form has been circulated to all BIA food related
restaurants so please look for it and send it back to the
BIA office as soon as possible. If you have not received
a registration form and would like one please call the BIA
office at 905 523-1646.

Port and Downtown
Showcased at
Toronto Boat Show
The Downtown Hamilton BIA partnered with the
Hamilton Port Authority, HECFI, The Hamilton
Chamber of Commerce, and the International
Village BIA to promote the strong linkages from the
Waterfront to Downtown Hamilton at the TORONTO
BOAT SHOW that took place January 13 to 22nd.
This year’s show was located at the Direct Energy
Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto and saw an
attendance of over 90,000 people. Representatives
from all of the partners talked to people about all
aspects of Hamilton and encouraged Torontonians
to visit our Waterfront, Downtown amenities, and
our events.
Gerry Murphy, Chair of the Downtown BIA reports
“The show was a complete success for the BIA and
its partners, and put a new face on Hamilton’s
hospitality to the world. People in Toronto have
found what lies beyond the Skyway Bridge and we
were proud to show them. Great Fun and a Great
Team. On with Hospitality Hamilton”
The Downtown Hamilton BIA partnered with
CHML/Y108 and the City of Hamilton to bring this
year’s Christmas in Gore Park to life. The Giant
Christmas Tree, new Miniature Train and MerryGo-Round were a huge hit with everyone. Lightup
Night with the band Freedom Train and other
special activities was attended by over 1000
people this year. And Santa’s Visit on December
3rd and a visit by Snow White and the BIA elves
made the season a roaring success. Mr. Fusaro
from Fusaro Tailor on John Street South won the
Christmas Window Decorating Contest.
And at the December Board meeting BIA
Chairman Gerry Murphy and Special Events
Chair Lillian Cathcart were proud to present a
cheque to Laurie Kilgour, Program Director with

BALTIMORE HOUSE
The Downtown BIA welcomes Grant Winestock and Jimmy Skembaris who have
partnered together to open THE BALTIMORE HOUSE at 43 King William Street.
It is a one of a kind lounge, wine bar, club and music venue by night and a reading
library and café by day. The café features local artists’ work in the Maryland room
and offers customers freshly brewed coffee, espresso and lattes. Accompanying
its menu of homemade sandwiches will be cupcakes and whoopee pies from the
infamous bakery, Bitten on Locke. The theme of the location is inspired by
Victorian England, Parisian salons and the works of Edgar Allan Poe, who resided
in Baltimore, Maryland. Within the renovated space, reclaimed antique furniture
and decor line the exposed brick and wallpapered walls of the salon. The Parlour
will be the home of future theatrical productions, film screenings and music
performances. They will be open Tuesdays to Thursdays 8 am to 10 pm, Fridays
8 am to midnight, Saturdays 11 am to midnight and Sundays Noon to 5 pm.
Twitter users are encouraged to tweet to the venue @BaltimoreMMX about their
experience using the #HamOnt and #cafe hashtags.

Accessibility
Standards
for Customer
Service
Required by Jan 1, 2012
Have you got your policies in place
and have trained your staff in the
procedures to accommodate Ontarians with Disabilities?
The
Provincial legislation requires all
businesses to make reasonable efforts to establish policies, practices
and procedures to provide your
product or service to people with
disabilities. This may include practices to allow disabled people to
use their own personal assistance
devices to access your products or
services. You may need to train
your staff on how to communicate
with a person with a disability. You
will have to allow guide dogs and
other service animals or support
people to accompany them into
your office or store. You may have
to increase the font in your written
communication to the customer especially when it comes to emergency procedures.

how you can incorporate them into
your business go to http://www.ontario.ca/en/help/STEL01_100996
Want to Rent
Space in the
Lister?
The BIA has been receiving many
enquiries from interested tenants for
the space leasing at the Lister Block.
The City will be handling this
through their Facilities and Real
estate Department. Chuck Alkerton
is the key contact at 905 5467.2424
x7015. An Request for Proposals
will be issued soon and those
interested can put forward a
proposal by the end of February.
City Announces
New Busker Policy
Busking can play an integral part in animating public spaces, such as downtowns,
and therefore street performances can be positive contributors to urban life.
However, the distinction between legal busking and illegal panhandling may not
always be clear to members of the public or those responsible for ensuring public
safety, such as the police. The City conducted extensive surveys and consultation
with the public and various organizations and the result points to the public’s
approval of busking as a positive activity (91%). Therefore the City of Hamilton
has approved a street performance policy which defines a street performer or
busker as one who provides entertainment on public property for a voluntary
gratuity such as musicians, acrobats, jugglers, mimes, magicians and other
performers. Working with such organizations as the Hamilton Police Service,
Downtown and Community Renewal Division, Municipal Law Enforcement, the
Arts Advisory Commission, the Downtown Cleanliness and Security Task Force
and the Ward 2 Councillor, a report was brought forward that provides some
guidelines for buskering in Hamilton.
The policy encourages busking as a legal activity in public spaces such as sidewalks, courtyards, squares, exteriors of
buildings, but will not be allowed on private property without permission of the property owner or at transit stops or near
public washroom facilities. Performances will be limited to a maximum of 3 hours per location and only battery operated
sound amplification will be allowed. The use of dangerous materials such as knives, swords, or flammable liquids or fires
is prohibited. Buskers may receive voluntary contributions from appreciative audiences without a license but may not
actively solicit funds which is in alignment with the Safe Streets Act, 1999 which prohibits panhandling. They must , however,
have a license to offer goods such as CDs for sale. Festival and event organizers who have secured permits for use of
specified public spaces will be given the authority to control how and where buskers will perform within the event space.
To view the complete Street Performance Policy and Guidelines go to:
http://www.hamilton.ca/CultureandRecreation/CommunitySpecialEvents/Special+Events.htm
Financial Incentive Programs
The City of Hamilton has recently made amendments to the
financial incentive programs available to members of the
Downtown Hamilton BIA and introduced a new program
specifically geared to properties that front on King Street
between James and Catharine Streets.
Planning to improve the façade of your program? If you
are, you may be interested in the Commercial Property
Improvement Grant Program that offers matching grants to
a maximum of $25,000 (depending on the width of the
frontage of your property) for façade improvements. This
program is available exclusively for property owners and
authorized tenants within BIAs. One of the major changes
to the program is an additional $10,000 matching grant for
artfully designed façade improvements or art pieces placed
on private property that can be viewed by the public.
Originally offered only to property owners and authorized
tenants of properties on King William Street between James
and Ferguson Avenue, this component of the program has
been expanded to all of Hamilton’s BIAs.
Do you own property that fronts on King Street between
James and Catharine Streets? If you do, for a three-year
period only, the City is offering, a one-time matching grant
of up to $50,000 for improvements that support the
attractiveness, functionality, accessibility and viability of the
historic building stock. If you are replacing a legally non-
conforming sign with signage in conformity with the Sign
By-law 06-243, the grant will increase to 75% of the cost for
the signage. Applicants must provide information on how
the improvements will improve the marketability of the
property for prospective or existing tenants, improve the
business vitality or, increase the occupancy of the property
through the utilization of vacant or underutilized floors.
Other programs available to property owners or
authorized tenants of the Downtown Hamilton BIA include:
• The Hamilton Downtown Property Improvement
Grant Program
• The Hamilton Multi-Residential Property
Investment Program
• The Hamilton Downtown Office Tenancy
Assistance Program
• The Hamilton Heritage Property Improvement
Grant Program
• The Commercial Corridor Housing Loan and
Grant Program
For more information on the programs please contact Hazel
Milsome, Co-ordinator of Urban Renewal Incentives at (905)
