Our objective is to uncover insights on the current status of Hamilton’s local Green Economy, providing a comprehensive overview of the region’s Clean Economy landscape. Our goal is to identify both macro and micro-level changes that local businesses are implementing to foster a Greener Hamilton.

2. Hamilton Youth Workforce
WPH remains dedicated to empowering the youth within our community by offering access to employment opportunities, labor market insights, and local resources in the city. Our commitment extends to keeping youth informed and actively involved in the local workforce. Throughout this year, we will persist in sharing valuable content through @HamiltonYouthWorkforce on Instagram and supporting community-driven initiatives aimed at bolstering the youth workforce in Hamilton.

3. Hamilton’s Hidden Challenges in Early Childhood Education (ECE)
