Moving/Housing/Utilities Weekly Moving To Hamilton Megathread

7 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly moving to/within Hamilton post. All questions about moving, utilities and neighbourhood recommendations belong in here.

If you are looking for recommendations/have questions about neighbourhoods, relators, landlords or utilities including internet etc, this is the place to ask!

If you are looking for recommendations on which area of the city would suit you, be sure to include some information about you and your family. What works for a single person starting out may not be recommended for a family with young children etc. Someone commuting by car will want to be closer to highways while those relying on transit will want to be on regular transit routes.

Utilities

Alectra for water bills https://alectrautilities.com/hamilton-water

Alectra for hydro (electricity) in much of the city https://alectrautilities.com/

Hydro One for electricity in other areas of the city https://www.hydroone.com/

Enbridge provides gas to most of the city but you can sign up with many energy companies at various rates https://www.enbridgegas.com/

Ask your landlord or realtor for the providers for your new address

Question Mood Disorder Clinic

14 Upvotes

I was a patient in the Mood Disorder Clinic at St Joes, up the mountain, between 1999-2003. I am looking for medical records and they are asking if I remember any names of psychiatrists or counsellors.

Does anyone recall any names they may have worked with? I feel like maybe a psychiatrist was named Irene. I know I would recognize it if I read it.

Holy crap these guys are still fighting, and good on them. Anybody have a skinny on what's going down on the front lines? I think it's wild there hasn't been any sympathy strikes or other supportive action from some other organized labour. Or is there and I'm not hearing about it?

Fill me in people!

Moving/Housing/Utilities Steam convector in apartment building

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently moved into one of those 1950s era brick apartment buildings in the city, and it’s heated with steam with steam convectors. Even with the windows open, the coolest it gets is about 26 degrees. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with this? Thanks in advance

Recommendations Needed Recommendations for memorial tattoo

12 Upvotes

My wife and I recently said goodbye to our 11 year old Golden, two days after my fortieth birthday. We are, as expected, gutted. We took a paw print as part of saying goodbye, and I would like to get it tattooed onto my forearm. I'm looking for recommendations for a quality artist who would be cool tattooing from a source (not looking for any creativity or spin on this one unfortunately, just Ollie's paw as is) with some fine details. I've gotten plenty of tattoos before, but we only moved to town last year and in this economy I haven't pursued anything until now, so I don't know the local scene. Any suggestions to help narrow the search would be appreciated.

Is this really a power outage, or did we get hacked again? I’m not techy, but why would a power outage lead to system-wide outages?

Looking forward to the discussion.

Question Different Halloween Candy

Trick or Treat!

Big Candy ain’t getting my money this year, so I am asking my favourite people - where can I find something unusual/Canadian/local?

All the rage over a mayoral candidate not supporting Hamilton-made candy has me wondering what is out there. What’s good!?

Discussion Expanding the Linc?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know who we can contact at the City of Hamilton to push for expanding the LINC to three lanes in each direction?
The traffic between 4–6 PM is ridiculous, and it seems like a problem that could be addressed with better infrastructure.
There’s already a large grassy median separating both directions, which could potentially be used for additional lanes. Widening toward the centre would also create an opportunity to install concrete median barriers, which could help prevent vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic (!!!) We’ve already seen several serious crossover collisions on the LINC, including fatal ones.

Any thoughts on how we could make this happen?
