Police Seek to Identify Male Following Incident Outside Ancaster School
Hamilton Police Service issued this release. Local Wire could not retell it without identifying someone, so it is linked here in full rather than summarized.
Ancaster
Ancaster was a town of its own until Hamilton amalgamated in 2001, and the Ancaster News closed in 2023. Everything here comes from the council and committee record: the votes, the planning decisions and the police releases that name an Ancaster address.
Something here that affects the whole city sits on theHamilton front page instead. See also themeeting calendar, the police briefs and the map.
