The City of Hamilton in partnership with Model City Hall is excited to share details about the upcoming 2026 HamOntYouth Town Hall, a FREE full-day civic engagement event for youth aged 14–29 from across all City of Hamilton Wards.

Event Details:

Saturday, May 9, 2026

Time: 9:30am - 3:30pm

This interactive event gives youth a “youth-only access pass” to City Hall. Participants will:

Choose one of three specialized workshops focused on civic learning.

Engage in structured conversations with local City Councillors.

Gain insight and awareness of opportunities for civic engagement.

We encourage agencies and organizations to consider bringing groups of youth to participate, creating an opportunity for shared learning and collective civic engagement.

This is a unique space for youth to ensure their voices are heard and valued in local government. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with your networks or any youth who may be interested.
