Message from Chris Ecklund

Chris EcklundFor years, I have advocated the use of volunteering and philanthropy to strengthen the city of Hamilton, improve its image, and keep alive the spirit of community pride.

As you go through my official site, you will learn more about my waterfall initiative, which rebranded Hamilton as the Waterfall Capital of the World, as well as past projects.

A WATERFALL FOR CITY HALL??
May 11, 2009

On May 8, the Hamilton Mountain News published a story titled 'West Mountain councillor pines for waterfall at city hall'. Mountain councillor Terry Whitehead wants a waterfall in front of the renovated city hall. Admitting that he and his family regularly attend Mr. Ecklund's waterfall walks, he said, "“We need to do something symbolic. What is a fountain symbolic of? Nothing. What is a waterfall symbolic of? Hamilton.”

See the story here.

BRINGING THE NHL TO HAMILTON
May 6, 2009

Hockey Night in HamiltonHamiltonians are in love with hockey, and it seems inevitable that the city will one day host a National Hockey League Franchise. In October 2008 Mr. Ecklund sponsored www.hockeynightinhamilton.com, which explores the sport's energetic history in Hamilton. Thousands of diehard fans (and more than a few descendants of prominent players) have visited the site since its launch. Content is provided by Spectator sports writer Tim Miller.

After spending an hour or two browsing the site, it will become obvious that Hamilton is a hockey town at heart, and a perfect candidate for an NHL franchise.
