Railways & Raptors: Two Big Anniversaries In The Hammer!

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

The Hamilton Street Railway is getting ready to celebrate it’s 150th anniversary! This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. The Raptor Centre officially opened on June 3, 1994, as both an education centre and a bird of prey rehabilitation hospital. Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron this week called on NATO allies to spend more on their militaries, insisting tougher foreign policy is necessary in a world more dangerous “than most of us have ever known.” Artificial Intelligence is being used to comb through job applications. What is to become of City Centre, now an empty shell growing out from Jackson Square and onto the intersection of James North and York Boulevard? Three government contractors involved in developing the ArriveCan app have received hundreds of federal contracts worth more than $1-billion over the past 13 years. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
