This week, Councillor Mark Tadeson attended the 111th Armenian Genocide Commemoration, where he had the honour of speaking in his role as Deputy Mayor.

The event brought together members of the Armenian community and residents from across Hamilton to remember and honour the victims of the Armenian Genocide. It also served as an important opportunity to reflect on the ongoing significance of remembrance, education, and the pursuit of justice.
