About Ward 10
Ward 10 is primarily an urban ward, with a strong rural component situated below the Niagara Escarpment. An active industrial and commercial corridor known as the Stoney Creek Business Park is located south of the Queen Elizabeth Way.
Bordered by the lower edge of the Escarpment to the south, Lake Ontario to the north, the city municipal boundary with Niagara Region to the east just past Fifty Rd, and Grays Road to the west.
Ward 10 is part of the broader community of Stoney Creek ( which also extends westward beyond Centennial Parkway) as is home to the historic communities of Fruitland and Winona. We are home to Mohawk College STARRT Institute, a section of the Hamilton Waterfront Trail, and are the site of Canada’s Largest Peach Celebration – the Winona Peach Festival.
Ward 10 is located within the Hamilton Conservation Authority watershed and home one of Hamilton’s busiest Conservation Areas, Fifty Point.
Ward 10 is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Today, the City of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.
Stoney Creek, Fruitland and Winona are steeped in a rich agricultural heritage, and are still home to a number of successful fruit farms with centuries-long legacies of growing tender fruit. We are proud to be the gateway to Niagara Region’s world-class wine country, with 2 award-winning wineries within Ward 10: Puddicombe Estate Winery and Leaning Post Wines.
Ward 10 is also the home of the World Famous Winona Peach Festival - along with the Winona Easter Egg Hunt, the Lake Pointe Park Canada Day Celebration, & the Winona Hallowe’en Bash.
