Off The Beaten Path: Mapping Labour and Race in Hamilton

April 9, 2025 - December 19, 2025

Presented in partnership with McMaster University School of Labour Studies

Off the Beaten Path Hamilton is a mapping database that collects personal stories and historical events of everyday Hamiltonians through the lens of labour and race.

As an open living project, students from the School of Labour Studies at McMaster University create songs, poems, and other artistic media to tell past and ongoing suppressed stories of injustice, resilience, and resistance.

Community members are encouraged to share their history in Hamilton with this collection in efforts to build a people’s collective memory of the city.
