Greetings,
I am a new member to the site, and a researcher/student with both the History Department and the Centre for Health Economics and Policy Analysis, McMaster University.
I am a Hamiltonian by birth, and I spent a lot of time with my parents on the beaches in the 1960's and early 1970's. I moved back to the city in 1983, and in the course of pursuing my studies, I have developed an interest in the former Van Wagner's Beach/Crescent beach area (I spend a lot of time in Confed. park in summer). I am now engaged in a MA project involving an analysis of the health outcomes of the residents of that area between 1930-1960. I am looking for any Saltfleet Township/Hamilton municipal-public records, especially public health related, and in particular the records of the Burlington Beaches Commission.
If anyone out there has a notion as to where the above may have ended up, please tell. Further, if the community council has meetings/discussions on environmental issues/health issues, I would be interested in hearing about them, and attending if possible.
Robert.
