In a significant positive step towards economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Hamilton is adopting a key financial tool recommended by the West End Home Builders’ Association (WE HBA) to attract investment and spur job creation.

The West End Home Builders’ Association (WE HBA) is pleased to hear of the joint announcement made by Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, Catherine McKenna, and Ontario Minister of Transportation, Caroline Mulroney, to provide funding to get shovels in the ground for the Hamilton LRT.

It’s been more than a full year since the onset of the global pandemic and as with the rest of the world, the real estate industry has undergone pivotal changes to provide immediate solutions for business continuity.

The Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA), with the support of our impacted network association members BILD, Brantford, Durham Region, Guelph & District, Haldimand – Norfolk, West End, Niagara, and Waterloo Region HBAs, are asking the that the Ontario government stay focused on the proposed Greenbelt expansion study areas announced for consultation.

West End Home Builders’ Association (WE HBA) and the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) applaud the Ontario government’s decision to remove the construction permitting restrictions and the prohibition on starting new renovations that were part of the emergency orders that came into effect on January 13.

West End Home Builders’ Association is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Collins-Williams as its Chief Executive Officer, effective February 1, 2021. Mike brings a wealth of expertise in planning, policy and government relations, having been a key contributor to the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) for over 17 years.

From political battles to administrative duties, life is never quiet for Suzanne Mammel. But the efforts of the Hamilton Halton HBA Executive Officer and her staff over the past 365 days were particularly worthy of attention, as evidenced by their 2019 Local Association of the Year honour, presented at the OHBA Annual Conference at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood at the end of September.

The Hamilton-Halton Home Builder’s Association’s Women In Industry Committee was founded in 2018 and is the first Women’s Group within a Home Builders’ Association, nationally.  The Committee consists of a group of passionate women who aim to support, educate, connect and empower Women in Industry.

A zoning bylaw is different from an official plan in many ways. An official plan sets out your municipality’s general policies for future land use. A zoning bylaw puts the plan into effect and provides for its day-to-day administration.

The best community is one where every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. That's why HHHBA builder and developer members fund organizations like City Kids, the YWCA, Hamilton Community Foundation, and Habitat For Humanity.
