Across this country, people now wake up and look out their window not to check the weather, but to check if their car is still there.  Vehicle thefts in many parts of Canada – particularly here in the GTHA – have become so common CAA now recommends that if you own two vehicles, “park the

On Friday, in Churchill Park in Hamilton, many gathered at the invitation of the Hamilton Jewish Federation & Margaret’s Legacy, including students from the Hamilton Hebrew Academy, to celebrate the newly installed monument, “Be:longings” in honour and memory of Raoul Wallenberg.
