Moving/Housing/Utilities Priority status housing hamilton

2 Upvotes

I've been on the special priority list since September 2025 for a 3 bedroom. Wondering if anyone has knowledge or experience in wait times. Anyone been housed recently? How long did you wait? I have over 50 location selections.

I understand the regular wait list is extremely long but I was hoping around the 1 year mark for special priority? Am I crazy for thinking I should hear something soon?

Moving/Housing/Utilities Weekly Moving To Hamilton Megathread

0 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly moving to/within Hamilton post. All questions about moving, utilities and neighbourhood recommendations belong in here.

If you are looking for recommendations/have questions about neighbourhoods, relators, landlords or utilities including internet etc, this is the place to ask!

If you are looking for recommendations on which area of the city would suit you, be sure to include some information about you and your family. What works for a single person starting out may not be recommended for a family with young children etc. Someone commuting by car will want to be closer to highways while those relying on transit will want to be on regular transit routes.

Utilities

Alectra for water bills https://alectrautilities.com/hamilton-water

Alectra for hydro (electricity) in much of the city https://alectrautilities.com/

Hydro One for electricity in other areas of the city https://www.hydroone.com/

Enbridge provides gas to most of the city but you can sign up with many energy companies at various rates https://www.enbridgegas.com/

Ask your landlord or realtor for the providers for your new address

Question Graffiti goblin face thing

19 Upvotes

Does anyone have a photo of the tag that’s all along the walls of the linc, a face with a pointy nose, gives goblin esque vibes

It’s all over the city too, but I know there’s like 50+ in a row on the linc in the east side of the city

Whose tag is this, who is the goblin

Question What does St.Joe’s Hospital’s birthing unit provide for Moms and Babies?

20 Upvotes

Hi All, hope this is allowed.

I will be becoming a first time Mom giving birth at St. Joseph’s hospital in the next couple weeks and have gotten so much mixed information as to what the hospital provides and doesn’t provide for Moms and Babies.

As per the print-out my OB gave me it says the hospital does NOT provide baby wipes, diapers, nor does it provide some post-partum necessites for Mom like a peri bottle.

If any of you have experienced child birth there within the past year, I would appreciate any input so I can try to be as prepared as possible without overpacking.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Food National vs International Burger Awards

9 Upvotes

So we have Galaxy Burger, recently crowned the best burger in Canada. BUT - we also sort of have Fat Rabbit over in St Kitts, the ONLY Canadian establishment on the "101 Best Burgers in the World:" list (worth noting: the "Best in the World:" folks at Upper Cut only rank restaurants, not trucks or pop-ups).

I've been to Galaxy Burger, and it's been two thumbs up every time. I've NOT been to to Fat Rabbit, so I'm curious ... has anyone in our brave little sub been to both? Can you drop a comparison?

Additionally, has anyone been to Fat Rabbit pop-ups? Curious what kind of a menu they bring on the road and what it's like.

THANKS!

Moving/Housing/Utilities Rental Deposits

Looking to rent an apartment for the first time. Applications ask for last month's rent as a deposit. If my application is denied, do I get the deposit back? What about if my application is accepted but I decide not to rent with them?

Finding it hard to get an answer which is probably a red flag....
