The Province of Ontario has since extended the electric kick-scooter pilot program until November 27, 2029. Hamilton continues to participate in the pilot and regulates personal e-scooter use through City of Hamilton By-law 20-269. With school out for the summer, more people are enjoying Hamilton's roads, parks, trails, and neighbourhoods on e-scooters.

Councillor Tadeson made clear from the outset that his opposition wasn'

This week, communities across Ontario are recognizing the dedicated people who make sure our children get to school and back safely.
