Join the City of Hamilton in celebrating National Public Works Week with a FREE “Touch-A-Truck” event at Pier 8, Saturday, May 24 from 9 am to 1 pm.

This year’s event will allow residents of all-ages to literally ‘touch-a-truck’, including snow plows, HSR busses, a waste collection packer and many more!

The event also features activities and giveaways for kids, a traffic light demonstration from our Transportation group, paint a snow plow blade, Hamilton Bike Share, the City's Sustainable Mobility team, the Hamilton Public Library's Bookmobile, Downtown Revitalization Strategy engagement, the United Way, face painting, a live DJ, battery recycling receptacles and much more.

National Public Works Week (May 18-24, 2025) is a celebration of our Public Works staff who bring “People, Purpose and Presence” to their job every day, bringing services in Hamilton to life – from public transit, road construction, drinking water and stormwater, clean parks and so much more.
