Should Hamilton be trying to attract more young people to live, work and start businesses here, including the 60,000 students studying at Mohawk College, McMaster University and Redeemer University? If so, what should we be doing? If not, why not?

| Jackson, Tom | Yes | Yes we should be attracting more young people to live, work and start businesses here. We should continue to target both business retention along with new businesses to our City. Quality of Life is very important and our City has it!! But attracting good paying jobs with a decent availability to esthetically pleasing housing either rental or ownership is necessary too. |
| Taylor, Timothy | Yes | I believe Hamilton is already trying to attract young people to live work and do business in the city. I also believe we should continue to do so. Hamilton could reduce red tape for new business owners, and make city services more accessible. Hamilton could protect neighbourhood schools to encourage families to fill communities, rather than building large K8 schools and bussing kids around. We could ensure the promised GO Train service actually comes to Hamilton in a reasonable timeframe to encourage commuters to live here. There is a myriad of things we could do, and even more that we already do to encourage people to move and live here. |
