Hamilton's Official Plan

Friends of the Eramosa Karst give thanks, and congratulations to city council for passing the official plan July 2009. Hamilton's Mayor Eisenberger and City Council have designated the feeder area shown in the map as "Natural Heritage Core" "to be protected" giving new hope that the feeder lands will be protected from further development. Congratulations to all city staff, and all involved in supporting this important planning document, thank you for your support!
