Demolition Watch

× Thank you!

For more than a dozen years the Bay Observer has been providing a fresh perspective on the important local events and issues that face our communities.

Coverage of local news has never been more important in our democratic society as the number of news voices has diminished. You can help us not only maintain the quality coverage we have been providing, but to improve it, by allowing us to being more voices and more coverage to our loyal readers and followers.

At a time when many on-line news services are moving to paywalls the Bay Observer prefers to try a different approach that involves the Bay Observer family.

If you agree that local journalism is worth your support, will you consider making a donation of any size?

The old, rusting, listing Hamilton Police Marine Unit building is on the demolition list for December. The Marine Unit has moved to new digs at the former MacDonald Marina. This redundant and well weathered building sits on city land in an area known as Piers-5-7. That land is up for sale. On a calm autumn day the creaky building has a certain maritime charm. Plans for this area of the West Harbour are designed to include shops, a small hotel, and various waterfront uses.
