The Arkells Officially Return to Hamilton Saturday June 23rd at Tim Hortons Field

There is a classic Hamilton tale about the legendary Pink Floyd concert that “broke” Ivor Wynne Stadium. Broke, in the sense that it was so massive that largescale public concerts were henceforth banned from the venue, saved for rare occurrences like a Rush concert in 1979, Blue Rodeo after a Ti-Cats game in 2001, and the Tragically Hip/Sam Roberts send-off concert in 2012, prior to the stadium’s demolition.

ARTS & C ULTURE

With the new Tim Hortons field, comes the time to write new tales of legendary rock shows. Enter The Rally, presented by the Arkells, featuring Cold War Kids, Bishop Briggs, and Ellevator, happening June 23rd. Five days short of exactly 43 years since that infamous Floyd show, and likely to be the biggest show the site has hosted.

However, unlike the psychedelia and property damage of the final show of the 1975 Wish You Were Here tour, what you can expect from the 2018 Arkells’ Rally is a characteristically authentic and upbeat celebration of the city, tailor-made by the hero band that Hamilton deserves.

Fresh off the release of their new album, Morning Report, and its first, feel-good, summer-banger of a single, “People’s Champ,” – that itself is a Hamilton love-in – The Rally will be their only summer show between the 905 and 416. This is key, as between festivals like Hillside, and performances at Jackson-Triggs or last year’s Budweiser Stage; big, awesome summer shows in Southern Ontario are an Arkells tradition, and building on them each year, a passion.

Of course, the maybe not-so-obvious question might be “why Hamilton?”

Aside from the band’s deeply Hamilton story and identity, for a multiple Juno winning act with widespread acclaim and appeal, surely there are more renowned venues. And that’s where part of the band’s authentic appeal shines through.

“We feel so much love and support from Hamilton,” says frontman Max Kerman, “we never take it for granted, we really want to return that love and champion this city.”

And championing Hamilton will indeed be the theme of the day. The day will also include transit arrangements to and from the venue with both the HSR and SoBi. Plus, the Rally Market will be happening during the day, presented by Hamilton Flea and Girl on the Wing’s Whitney McMeekin and will feature local artists and makers.

In Kerman’s words, this is about “trying to cram everything we like about Hamilton into a single day. Shining a

WE NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED, WE REALLY WANT TO RETURN THAT LOVE AND CHAMPION THIS CITY.

light on the city, its like-minded people, art, music, neighbourhoods, and community.”

And not limiting the impact of the day to simply a showcase of some of the city’s best. Every ticket sold will also see $1 donated to the Refuge Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health. In the past, the Arkells have worked with groups like the Canadian Council for Refugees, recognizing the needs of newcomers to Canada, and the struggles they face. When it comes to the Rally, Max and crew want to make sure they are making an impact in the very community that the day seeks to celebrate.

“It’s important to us as global citizens, recognizing the challenges newcomers face in our communities, and how the Rally can play a role with supporting their quality of life in the community, navigating the healthcare system and so much more,” says Kerman.

Back on the topic of doing things bigger and better, the show will also feature performances from up and coming Hamilton band Ellevator, British singer-songwriter and phenom Bishop Briggs, and acclaimed LA-based band Cold War Kids. Particularly on the latter, Kerman cites Cold War Kids were very influential to the Arkells’ formative years, and after playing shows alongside them in Tulsa, Oklahoma last year, the Arkells saw them as a perfect addition to the Rally’s line-up.

It’s these sorts of authentic, personal touches that contribute to the Arkellsappeal. More than that though, it’s the bigger picture scope they’ve brought to this show that makes it truly resonate with fans and Hamiltonians alike. It’s the awesome international acts, the celebration of the city and its people, and the social impact for newcomers to our community that makes The Arkells Rally not only Hamilton’s show of the summer but also cements it as an epic new tale in the city’s musical history.

The HamilTEN The top ten must enjoy patios in Hamilton 01 . G ALL AG H E R’S

After the spring we’ve had, it might be safe to say that any patio is the best patio now that we’ve made it to June. But as Canadians, we really do need to be discerning about where we spend our precious warm and daylight hours during patio season.

Barring verbally abusive panhandlers, crazy wind tunnels, or that bee that just won’t quit, finding the perfect mixture of shade, sun, and good service is a true summer highlight.

Here are my recommended top ten patios for Summer 2018.

There are many great patio options on Augusta Street, but often everyone congregates at Gallagher’s and most pub crawls end up there. The patio is larger than others and it’s great for people watching, especially if you got there early enough to bypass the line. Plus, they’ll let you bring in a birthday cake!

02 . ABE RDE E N TAVE RN This small and sheltered patio is one of my favourite spots in Hamilton and feels as elegant as the restaurant inside.

It's tucked away and has that feeling of relaxing in your best friends backyard.

Enjoying a sunny brunch in this hidden haven is one of the best ways to spend a summer Sunday.

03. TH E BE VE RLY

Born and raised in Hamilton, on most summer days Melissa can be found at the Hill Street Dog Park, asleep in the backyard hammock or making frozen key lime pie. She favours patios that allow dogs, but only the well-behaved ones like hers, and those that add a bit of sugar to their margarita salt rim. @ WinnieCooperMM

The hidden courtyard patio at Coach & Lantern and the large and historic patio at Rousseau House on Wilson Street in Ancaster offer different, yet uniquely perfect, outdoor experiences. Featuring live music, trivia and exceptional food, these spots are great for doing a mini patio crawl – hit up Cavallo Nero nearby and taste the best that Ancaster has to offer.

07. L A CAN TI N A As you can tell, I enjoy secluded patios with lots of umbrellas and greenery – in the height of summer, La Cantina on Walnut Street is a pretty little refuge from the downtown hustle and bustle.

It even has a tree growing in the middle – foliage bonus!

08. TH E F R EN CH

Not only is Bev's Backyard stunning with its pops of colour and gorgeous landscape, it also provides the perfect mix of sun and shade. Get cozy under its huge trees and enjoy some of the best brunch and bubbly in the city. It's Instagram central back there and the perfect venue to host your summer event.

The French is probably the most stunning and beautiful patio in the city complete with striped awnings, hedge boxes and those perfect Parisian-style chairs. The look is always on point and the location is primo as well. Enjoy a French 75 and watch the world go by.

Santé!

04. M ULBE RRY

09. G ARAG E DOOR S

James Street North is one of my favourite bustling areas in the city and the Mulberry side patio is smack dab in the middle. A super spot during Art Crawl and most Fridays in the summer, you can enjoy the tunes of the Mulberry Street Porchin’ Band next door.

Restaurants that don’t have the real estate for a patio but have installed a front opening garage-style door provide the next best thing. Bar on Locke, Cima, and Berkeley North are great examples – they give many of the benefits of a patio and can easily extend the summer into those unseasonably warm days in October.

05 . BUM PIN’ OUT

BY MELISSA MCQUEEN

06 . ANCAST ER MAI N DRAG

Tis the season for street patio's installed by the city and it’s a joyous time. You can find them on Ottawa, King William, James, in Westdale, among others. They allow your favourite small place where you can rarely get a seat to double in seating capacity. This is good news for everyone wanting some Crab Dip Rangoon at Fsh & Chp.

10. JACK AND LOIS An adorable fenced in patio at the back of the restaurant is a great spot for a summer afternoon. Their grilled cheese in place of the toast on a breakfast platter is still one of the most ingenious menu items. On Thursday nights in the summer, they show movies on the back patio – come pull up a chair!

COMING SOON: A special mention to Black Forrest Inn that is set to launch an incredible patio filled with the same great eats and that warm feeling you can find indoors. Modelled after a patio you would discover walking through the streets of Europe check out the front cover to see what they have planned!

Pride Hamilton Celebrate and honour diversity Sunday, June 17th at Gage Park

T

his year the Pride Hamilton committee has taken on the mission to bring the LGBTQ2SIA community and the city of Hamilton together by honouring the diversity that exists within our city. With many fresh faces volunteering as part of the Pride Hamilton committee, and for the first time, a transgender individual at the helm as chairperson, there has been a renewed passion to create a festival that truly honours and celebrates the LGBTQ2SIA people of Hamilton and the surrounding areas, resulting in our Park Day event on June 17th at Gage Park. The dedication from the Pride Hamilton committee has created momentum in the community, which has resulted in combined efforts to offer over 40 diverse events throughout the month, including a free workshop series. By dedicating the entire month of June to Pride, we are honouring the historical roots of Pride that began as the Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York City.

Pride Hamilton is a grassroots NFP volunteer-run organization that has worked closely with The AIDS Network to offer Pride events in the city for multiple years with very limited resources. This year we set ourselves the goal of increasing funding externally through local and corporate partners to bring Hamilton the Pride festival it deserves. Community partners have come forward and responded positively to the opportunity to work with Pride Hamilton. Through this response and with the support of the AIDS Network, we have come close to reaching our funding goal. What does meeting this goal mean for 2018’s Pride Hamilton Festival? It means we can create a diverse event with family and youth-themed activities. We currently have 20 stage performances between 2 stage areas, including aerial and fire-spinning acts, as well as over 70 diverse vendors that include local artists, business and community organizations that support the LGBTQ2SIA community. In striving to be accessible to the community as a whole, we are proud to offer our Park Day event at no charge to all entrants, plus a free BBQ lunch, and we have been able to offer subsidized booth space for qualified vendors.

Additionally, by moving the Festival to Gage Park we have answered the overwhelming response from a community poll asking where they would like to see the event take place. The

IT MEANS WE CAN CREATE A DIVERSE EVENT WITH FAMILY AND YOUTH THEMED ACTIVITIES.

park offers accessibility in terms of washrooms, location, a playground and splash pad for families, shaded areas and much more. We are thrilled to have our festival located in this beloved space and view Gage Park as a place that will give our festival room to grow in the years to come.

Pride Hamilton recognizes the importance of reaching out and collaborating with the diverse community of Hamilton and is committed to facilitating this. In 2019, the committee plans to create a mentorship program for youth to sit alongside committee members and bring forward their voices and ideas. Other future goals of Pride Hamilton include becoming a registered organization that works side by side with the community to create year-round events, and to partner with Pride organizations across Ontario to bring even more events to the LGBTQ2SIA community.

We are firmly committed to making space for everyone and offering a seat at the table to those who are passionate about our vision. We are looking for more enthusiastic and dedicated folks to join us. If you are interested in being a part of Pride Hamilton in 2019 please contact us at pridehamilton2018@gmail.com

BY PRIDE HAMILTON

Pride Hamilton’s mission is to educate, engage, and perform community outreach while supporting smaller NFP groups that are part of the community working collaboratively to amplify their reach and help to elevate LGBTQ2SIA+ friendly events, activities, and resources.

Hamilton Brews the Good Stuff Find a little hops, your favourite citrus, or the perfect aromatic flavour right in the city

It’s no surprise that warmer weather means more time on patios with cold, refreshing brews. But if this summer you want to try something new, look no further than West Hamilton’s own Fairweather and Grain&Grit Brewing

Companies. Both opened in 2017 and have quickly become staples in the local (and beyond) craft beer community.

Better yet, both breweries are just seconds away from each other, encouraging microbrew exploration in Hamilton.

FA IRW EAT H ER B RE W ING COM PANY ( 5 O FIEL D ROAD)

Not many people would expect to find a craft brewery just five minutes from McMaster University and next to a Fortinos grocery. But that turned out to be just the type of neighbourhood owner Ram McAllister was looking for. McAllister says, “[Hamilton] represents a level of opportunity that is unmatched in our cities. The city is buzzing with growth and creativity; it’s really wonderful to be a part of!”

McAllister’s brewing experience goes back to 2009 when he began in the industry in Victoria, B.C. After a formal education at Niagara College, he took the plunge and began the work of opening Fairweather in 2015.

“This brewery is a product of everything coming together at a particular time,” explains McAllister. Even though being an entrepreneur wasn’t the main goal, he’s happily taken on that role to pursue something he truly loves, saying that “being an entrepreneur is just a side effect of being really obsessed with something that you can theoretically make money from.”

Knowing the many hours it takes to begin and run any successful business, being passionate about your product is incredibly necessary.

When choosing flavours to produce, McAllister says that while certain materials can be difficult to obtain, “for the most

G RAI N &GR I T BR EWI N G CO. (11 EWEN R OAD)

part, we are only limited by our own schedule and a small staff.”

Fairweather brews a variety of uncommon flavours along with classic ones - McAllister explains “There are wonderful beers that can be made across the board, but not everything needs to be an act of rebellion; some things have always been great.” Quality ingredients are a priority for Fairweather. Sourcing from all over the world, the brewing company looks to both Germany and Belgium, but also locally, with many ingredients coming from the Niagara region.

McAllister’s advice for entrepreneurs? “I’ve learned that if you are happy with what you are doing, you can push the rest of it off your mind. Everyone has an opinion; most are super positive, but it swings both ways. If you believe everyone that tells you you’re great, that’s a good way to stay mediocre.”

ENJOY IT: McAllister recommends pairing fruited sours with spicy food. Patio season = tacos + Fairweather’s Golden Hour. A match made under the sun!

FIND IT: Fairweather’s taproom is open daily 12-9pm, or at several local restaurants and bars including Born and Raised, The Ship, Moody’s, The French, HAMBRGR, The Brain, The Mule, and more.

Puzzle 1 (Easy, difficulty rating 0.37)

Owned by husband and wife entrepreneurs Joe and Lindsey, Grain&Grit is the product of over a decade worth of dreaming and home brewing, until they finally decided to make their infatuation with craft beer an everyday reality and share it with the city. After hiring brewmaster Alex, a Dundastransplant and winemaker and brewer from Germany, the company really began to get off the ground.

Since opening in September of last year, Lindsey and Joe have truly learned the value of community. Placing the company in the Ainslie Wood neighbourhood was no mistake, and they’ve found their friends and neighbours have been vital to the positive growth of the company. “Our community has already given us so much, and we are working hard every day to give back to them,” says Lindsey.

Grain&Grit tries to source their ingredients locally as much as possible, depending on the season and the recipe, including local distributors for malts and some hops (VQH Farms in Eden, Ontario). As for choosing flavours, Lindsey says they often choose based on what they like to drink and what their customers like (“which we’re still learning,” Lindsey says). While they play with different fruits, spices, and flavours, they always “strive

for balance in the flavours that we’re using.”

This summer, Grain&Grit is participating in a fundraising initiative with Max, a local 7-year-old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that doesn’t allow his muscles to develop. His family has raised money for the disease in the past with local "Max’s Ice Cream Ride" and "Max’s Big Climb", and approached Grain&Grit to create “Max’s Big Beer.” Influenced by Max’s favourite flavours of peach and vanilla, 50 cents from every can sold of the Milkshake IPA will go to Canadian charity Jesse’s Journey, in support of Duchenne research.

The beer is in conjunction with Max’s Big Ride on June 11th, where his father will begin his ride on a cargo bike from Dundas to Ottawa.

ENJOY IT: Hamilton-made Sensational Samosas (served on-site in the taproom) with Grain&Grit’s In the Palms. Pairs deliciously with the spicy vegan samosas.

FIND IT: Grain&Grit’s taproom is open Tuesday-Saturday 12-9pm, Sunday 12-6, or at several local restaurants and bars including Bread Bar, Mulberry Cafe, Gameopolis, The Ship, Saint James, Winking Judge, Thirsty Cactus, Rousseau House, and more.

430 York Blvd.

Healing and growth don't have to be a lonely journey

Photos provided by 430 York Blvd.

430 York Blvd was birthed by the hands of a community of caring and creative minds. It is home to 8 unique businesses working to help people improve their health and wellbeing.

“We’re open to everyone on the path to self-improvement, wanting to connect with themselves and others”, says Stacey Ziebarth, one of the building’s business owners. “Life can be stressful and hectic. We all need a place where we can come to be ourselves, or find ourselves, and learn how to thrive. Everyone in this building is doing that, and helping others do the same”.

Over the years, the tenants of the building have changed but two of the pillars have always been Studio Zee Pilates and De La Sol Yoga Studios.

These two businesses have called 430 York Blvd. home for the last 10 years and are proud to occupy the building that was once labelled “undesirable”.

Katie McClelland, owner of De La Sol Yoga Studios explains “430 York Blvd. is where people can come to find selfacceptance and self-love.” With her own history of anxiety, depression and substance abuse, Katie is committed to helping people open up and blossom in ways they can’t begin to imagine. With over 100 staff and more than 150 classes a week, Katie’s business has

grown tremendously from the humble beginnings in a basement apartment.

The studio now sees 400-700 students a day between the Hamilton location (430 York Blvd.) and the Waterdown location (255 Dundas St E). De La Sol is not the only business that found success in the building. The Zee Empire, with Stacey and Jay Ziebarth in the lead, continues to thrive as well.

In March 2016 Stacey and Jay opened Zee Float and introduced floating to Hamilton. They brought a unique experience to the city where you lay in high-density salt-water in total darkness and complete silence; the idea is to increase endorphin production and alleviate pain and stress. After a float, people usually come out of a deep meditation and feel relaxed, creative, and less anxious.

Shortly after, in 2018, Jay opened The Infinity Forge with a handful of collaborators including voice actor Christian Potenza. This space is home to a cartooning studio, YouTube filming facilities, breath work and meditation classes, and psychotherapy offices.

Tracy Miles, one of 430 York’s registered psychotherapists explains, “it’s total-wellness… Mind, Body, and Spirit.

And it all sprouted so organically.” The 8 businesses embody the qualities that

make Hamilton entrepreneurs stand out from the rest; communication, collaboration, and support for others.

All of the businesses are working to build a supportive community and there is truly something for everyone at 430 York Blvd. On the second floor of the building, De La Sol offers kids’ classes, workshops and daily yoga classes including hot ones. Down the hall, The Infinity Forge has classes for kids and teens where they can make their own videos and animations. Jake from Lungs of Love offers information and services to improve your everyday life through conscious breathing exercises. Tracy Miles of Energy Tap helps adolescents, adults, couples, and families work through addiction, borderline personality, anxiety and a myriad of other issues. She is committed to helping people reach their full potential through authentic and meaningful encounters.

On the first floor of the building, you can find Zee Float and Studio Zee Pilates, home to incredible fitness and meditation instructors as well as Registered Massage Therapists, osteopaths, and physiotherapists. Before or after a class or treatment, guests can enjoy Vietnamese food from Pho Lac Vien and learn more about the Chocolate

Tales workshops. The first floor is also home to the 3rd De La Sol room that specializes in prenatal and mom and baby classes’ as well restorative classes.

The building is a one-stop-shop for health and wellness, it’s the community you’ve been searching for. We welcome you to join us for a workshop, event, class, float, meal or a treatment.

Healing and growth don't have to be a lonely journey.
