Most people stay in the areas they are raised in so attracting younger people shouldn't be that difficult. Friends attract friends to live in their area. To attract new business is the challenge. On average, it takes 5yrs to establish a new business so maybe a 5yr tax break could influence new businesses. |

Young people will cycle to work if there are safe cycling paths. I support increased bike paths. We know young people want access to natural areas such as the escarpment. Young people will resist using cars if there is good reliable transit such as LRT. |

Of course I want the youth of tomorrow to continue to live here in Hamilton.I plan to start programs like osap to help our youth met their potential, by helping them afford college or university. Understand I plan to do this for ppl who were born here or have lived here most their lives. I don't plan on solving other cities problems, and this program will only be offer to students who go to either Mohawk college or McMaster. But before all that I have to fix the already damaged inforstructure. |

Personally, I feel that it's not just about trying to attract, but rather how do we continually stay attractive. Job growth, retention of graduates, and finding solutions to affordable housing are the primordial concerns that need to be addressed. Hamilton must focus on its place within Ontario and the future direction of our city. Once we have established our common role (Health Care, Shipping/Warehousing/Logistics, refuse, etc.) the proper investment strategies can help define and support local business and the opportunities they present. |

Certainly we can understand that in the long term we need to genuinely make Hamilton an attractive place for youth. Those young people will bring Hamilton the new ideas and energy that can lead us into the future. Since we see younger Canadians are less interested in car culture than previous generations were, the LRT and other improvements to public transit would certainly be a good start. Instead of assuming that I have the best ideas to do this, I would rather listen to those emerging young professionals themselves and hear from them what their priorities are so that they can effectively feel heard rather than merely catered to, and try to implement their suggestions. I would even like to consider creating a youth council that mirrors city council to collect their input. |

How much are you going to pay me ? $100 and I will communicate with you at your basic level. Otherwise you are useless to me and Hamilton. |

In order to attract more young people to the City, we should ensure more affordable housing such as geared-to- income develpoment, revisions to our Bank of Canada to re-instate its mandate to pre 1974 and help in creating /contributing to co-operative housing/co-operative work/design/office space by engaging community based bond raising, akin to Tapestry and other similar organizations. |

To any community young people bring innovation. They are full of energy and new ideas they push the world forward. It’s a powerful resource. Hamilton have many assets and tangible treasures that can attract young people not only to come but to prompting the spectrum from culture art and industry |
