We also learned about First Nations’ relationship with the French and then the British over centuries, how Wampums were an important part of that relationship, and how the British created their own Wampums but did not follow through on their commitments contained therein @ward1wilson.bsky.social 2/2

Brian Charles gave an amazing talk on ‘Treaty History Woven through Wampums’ at The Westdale. With dozens of Wampums on display, he told stories about them, providing excellent insight into the Wampum creation process, how to read them, & their cultural significance @ward1wilson.bsky.social 1/2

Mid-autumn is my favourite time to be outside. It's also that time of year when I start getting asked, "Are you still riding to work?". The answer is 'yes', always 'yes'. 😁. Any day I don't commute by bike feels incomplete. Even when it's cold. I'm not made of sugar & I wear appropriate clothing 😉

A bucket list item I thought was impossible: attend a RUSH concert with my sons/nephew. The boys were too young for the R40 tour in 2015. But, we just landed tickets for the 2026 tour that will pay tribute to drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart, who tragically succumbed to cancer in 2020. 🥁🎸🎹🎤

Thanks for the tip. I got my HSR paper model bus, too! Here’s an action shot with a full-sized bus in the frame!

On June 1, 2025, I rode in the 15th annual 'Bike for Mike' in Hamilton, Ontario. It's a powerful celebration to remember Mike, and I very much look forward to this event. This year, I captured video during my ride on the "50km Classic Route".

Another new @guygavrielkay.bsky.social book! I’ve been loving his books since back in high school in the 90s.

The Helsinki Running Day 5k was an amazing experience! I wasn’t nearly as fast I had planned/hoped. Exploring this fantastic city non-stop over the past 3 days probably cost me some time! 🤣 But well worth it!

Friday afternoon in downtown Helsinki. A park similar to, but larger than, Gore Park in Hamilton. Espa Stage is organised by the Helsinki’s cultural services. Locals & tourists of all ages were here enjoying the music, restaurants, & outdoor market just steps from the stage. The vibe was electric.

I’m in Helsinki Finland ahead of healthy urban policy workshop. Exploring a new city is always so much fun. The bike share program here is incredible! 🚲

Lane 2 Runners had a blast with @dontgetlostar at RAID THE RIB! “When you run with the bulls, you the THORNS!” Our shins are a little bit ripped up from all the raspberry cane! But you can always find some interesting things while orienteering! @tentoenshoeshop

General Issues Committee has voted unanimously to continue supporting Hamilton Bike Share for ‘26/‘27! Thanks to ALL of the delegates who spoke today & the many more who took time to write letters that were on the agenda. Today’s delegations were the most thoughtful and well-prepared I have seen 1/

It was a pretty good day at the Around the Bay road race! I ran as fast as last year, but on a tougher (hillier) course. Both fitness and mental toughness were up to the challenge! #aroundthebay

What a game! “Marner to McDavid” to finish it off! Another Golden moment like Iginla to Crosby 15 years ago!

Alright, Team Canada! This game has significance far beyond a hockey final. Let’s get it done! #4NationsFaceOff

A video from one of the POP! NOVA exhibits. Can anyone tell what Canadian hit from the 80s he’s playing?

It’s the last weekend for Hamilton’s Winterfest and the POP! NOVA experience in Jackson Square. In anticipation of tonight’s CAN vs. USA match up we donned our Canada jerseys and had some fun. My son definitely does a better ‘Elliot’ #Hamont

Do Hamiltonians cycle in the winter? We sure do! Thanks to City of Hamilton Staff, @cyclehamilton.bsky.social and everyone involved in this morning’s Winter Bike Day!

Inspired by a creative Bart Simpson mural (near John and Hunter) seen during our race warmup, we went for post-race meal at the new Brothers Burger in Jackson Square. Delicious! Thanks for the tip, Hamilton City Magazine. #HamOnt.

The Boxing Day 10-Miler is a century-old tradition in #HamOnt, one I took up ~15 years ago. I'm grateful the 4-Miler was added in 2017 😆. It was a near-perfect day to race and a good training run early in the preparation for #AroundtheBay (15K) in March. #BoxingDayRun
