[NENA Enviro & Climate @nenaclimate]

In response to the growing need for urgent climate action at all levels of government, a group of concerned residents and members of @nenhamilton formed an Environment and Climate Change committee. Approved unanimously on Wednesday Feb 20, 2019.

Great to see more, much needed, 🌳🌳🌳 being added to the North End.

[Cameron Kroetsch @CameronKroetsch]

Tree planting along Strachan Street East starts today so I headed down to the North End to check in on the progress and talk about why trees matter. #HamOnt

@TheSpec @fallonhewitt_ If everyone in #hamont is craving @GrandadsDonuts as much as we are, it might be a good day to bike/walk/scooter, if you're able!

The tradition continues!
The swans are getting a very early start this year at #hamont's Bayfront Park. @TimHortons

[NENA Enviro & Climate @nenaclimate]

Another spring, another single-use-littered swan nest at #hamont's Bayfront Park. This year @Nestle and @TimHortons makes their usual toxic contribution to nature. Guessing their reusable cup campaign isn't getting much use?

Did you know the City of Hamilton’s Street Tree Planting program offers free trees to homeowners in Hamilton? Trees are planted within the City-owned road allowance of your property. Learn more about how to get your FREE Street Tree here: https://t.co/WisUFNuSd6 #HamOnt

Any #hamont e-bike owner is likely to tell you they're a game-changer for traversing the escarpment, in spite of few access points. So huge potential for @cityofhamilton.

We appreciate that discussions are happening between @CameronKroetsch @cityofhamilton and @CNRailway @Metrolinx, regarding long standing concerns about degraded local air quality and the impact of tree canopy loss. We hope to hear about plans to improve AQI via electrification.

[NENA Enviro & Climate @nenaclimate]

A @nenhamilton member has expressed concerns about idling locomotives at the Stewart St shunting yard. So 1 of our committee members spent some time gathering some evidence. Which didn't prove difficult to find. 1/4

Thanks for the update!

[Ward 2 Hamilton @Ward2Hamilton]

Update on removal of trees on Strachan Street East - I've now met with both @CNRailway and @Metrolinx to debrief and discuss a replanting plan. Next step = meet with @cityofhamilton staff to figure out where and when. Will keep you in the loop as I learn more. #HamOnt

[NENA Enviro & Climate @nenaclimate]

An update on the Strachan St trees.

[Ward 2 Hamilton @Ward2Hamilton]

Appreciate this letter from North End residents who are concerned about the removal of trees along the CN Railway property on Strachan Street East. I've had a chance to chat with CN about this and have a few updates to share. #HamOnt

[@jdavey @jdavey_2]

Outdoor rinks used to look like this in mid/late March, not mid February. #hamont

[NENA Enviro & Climate @nenaclimate]

An update on the Jamesville tree canopy.

[Ward 2 Hamilton @Ward2Hamilton]

I've been meaning to write an update about the trees at Jamesville for a little while now, but needed to gather more information before posting. In short, it's not good news for the trees when the project resumes, but I'm doing everything I can to mitigate the impact. #HamOnt

[Ward 2 Hamilton @Ward2Hamilton]

For those in the North End who are being impacted by the CN Railway clearcutting, we’re aware and are reaching out to see if we can get them to pause and talk to us. #HamOnt 😔
