How can the City of Hamilton support the development of a Community Benefits Framework?
Project Description: The City of Hamilton and Hamilton Community Benefits Network are partnering on this project to further develop the research undertaken by City staff to better inform the council's mandate of building a Community Benefits Framework. This project will
build upon the research completed by the Fall 2025 CityLAB Semester in Residence cohort and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to shaping inclusive, community-focused policies. Students will analyze survey results from an internal review of existing City initiatives, and develop “What We Heard” reports based on community input.
