Introduction to the city

Hamilton, this beautiful city is less than an hour’s drive from downtown Toronto and Niagara Falls, and within an hour’s drive, famous universities Linli is an economic and cultural center in southwestern Ontario. Hamilton has a population of nearly half a million. It not only lacks all the conveniences and characteristics of a big city, but also has the tranquility and safety of a small town. First-class libraries, art galleries, theaters, galleries, gymnasiums, and the Royal Botanical Gardens, known as one of the best botanical parks in the world, are all within a fifteen-kilometer radius of this beautiful city. It’s a great place to study, and Columbia International College is one of the highlights of this city.

Hamilton's climate is a humid continental climate, which is mild compared with most Canadian cities. Although the average temperature in January is only minus 3.6 degrees Celsius, most days are above freezing, so whenever it snows, the market is always muddy. In winter, the amount of snowfall varies greatly from year to year, with an average of about 113 centimeters. The average temperature (average day and night) in July reaches 22.5 degrees Celsius, while humidity is usually high in midsummer. Every year between May and early October, even if the daytime temperature is only 30 degrees, with the effect of humidity, it often feels like 40 degrees or above. The "lower city" below the steep slopes generally has a milder climate than the "top of the mountain" above the steep slopes. The climate changes in the "peak area" are more rapid, the seasons are shorter, and in winter, they are more susceptible to wind and snow crossing the lake. So sometimes, even if there isn't any sign of snow in the "Downtown" area, there are mountains of snow in the "Mountain Area". The presence of steep slopes also affects summer weather. Due to the temperature shift, especially at night, the city center will be much warmer than the areas above the steep slopes. Moreover, the steep slope formed a natural barrier, trapping the haze in the city center, preventing the haze from dispersing for a long time, sometimes even causing the visibility in the city center to be reduced to less than 2 kilometers. During the summer, it sometimes rains heavily, but generally, bad weather is rare.

In terms of population, in addition to 50% white people, Hamilton has many ethnic minorities, such as South Asians (10%), blacks (20%), and Chinese (17, 29%). In terms of religion, although immigrants from all over the world have brought many different faiths, the largest number of people in the city are still Christians, accounting for 77.56%, of which 37.08% believe in Christianity, while Catholics account for 35.48% (far from lower than the national average). Christ the King Cathedral is the seat of Hamilton Catholic District. The remaining 5% of Christians mainly believe in Orthodox and other independent churches. In addition, there are also many people who believe in Islam, with 12,880 people accounting for 1.96% of the population. Other religions include Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. In 2001, there were 115,510 people without religious beliefs, or 17.63% of the city's population.

On the economic front, the Canadian government issued a press release on the labor market in Hamilton in 2006. The report pointed out that Hamilton lacked hotel facilities, truck drivers and financial talents. At the same time, 55% of the manufacturing workforce will retire within 15 years. Therefore, the Ontario government has also invested a lot of money in Hamilton's education sector. In addition, according to a 2006 survey conducted by Canadian Business Magazine, Hamilton is the best place to do business in Ontario. The survey uses variable operating costs, living expenses, non-residential building permits, changes in the unemployment rate and crime rates as criteria. Compared with other cities across the country, Hamilton ranked sixth.

In recent years, the economy has increasingly relied on the service industry, but the steel industry, manufacturing, etc. still dominate Hamilton's economy. In addition, individual industries such as aviation, construction and real estate, scientific research, medical care, education, etc. have also developed well in recent years.
