As the project lead on Woodlands Park: Ghost Landscape, I’m excited to share that the CBC‘s Cara Nickerson covered the launch for Canada’s national broadcaster.
Last Thursday, on the eve of the 1946 Stelco strike anniversary, members of USW Local 1005 marched to Woodlands Park to attend the launch of Ghost Landscape, where I was joined by speakers Alice Plug-Buist for the Barton BIA, GALA board member and Ward 3 candidate Laura Farr, USW 1005 president Ron Wells, and Steelworker poet Bill Mahoney.
With thanks to Cara Nickerson, Eva Salinas, Ron Wells, Jim McColl, Bill Mahoney, Alice Plug-Buist, Laura Farr, Jason Morse, Glen Marshall, Naomi Bower, Graham Carroll, and all the members of USW Local 1005.
Woodlands Park: Ghost Landscape is a temporary project made possible by the City of Hamilton’s Placemaking Grant Pilot Program with support from the Patrick J. McNally Charitable Foundation. Additional support was generously provided by the Ward 3 Office of Councillor Nrinder Nann and USW Local 1005. Sponsored by the Barton Village BIA with support from GALA.
CBC Hamilton is a digital news service of the CBC (est. 1936), Canada’s national public broadcaster.
