After an easy drive on the QEW, we entered the town of Hamilton. Then the drive turned nerve-wracking as the streets narrowed, the stop lights multiplied, and the neighborhoods became numerous. All these things made the stop and go execution painful. When we finally arrived at the GO station, we were confused because there are NO signs indicating that the Station entrance is for BOTH trains and buses. Because we were looking for the Toronto bus and could only see train tracks, we drove around the block and turned into a neighborhood looking for help. Luckily, a nice lady saw us and told us they were one in the same, and that we could park on the RIGHT side of the road in a drop-off area. There were signs, but too small to actually read while driving on the two-lane one-way street. All in all, very confusing and just too stressful. We'll use another GO station further east to avoid this next time!

I am a past student of the Trios college and I honestly would not recommend anyone to this College…read more It is a ripoff. All about the money and when you have completed they promise to assist you in seeking jobs by bringing in employment agencies to their so call job fairs. It is ridiculous. Even the instructors do not grade students on how well you do in exams. You are graded base on how they think of you. I have never seen anything like this in all my years of colleges. Trios College is a joke, that's how I see it. My advise to potential students out there is to get enroll in government colleges. The courses maybe longer but you will reap the benefits.

It reads, "This gate lodge was built for the Hon. Isaac Buchanan (1810-1883) who was born in Glasgow. He emigrated to Toronto in 1830, became a successful wholesale merchant, represented Toronto in the first Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada, 1841-44, and moved to Hamilton about 1850. He bought property here, named it the Claremont Estate in 1852, and in 1855 built the lodge and the main house, now located at 88 Fennell West. Buchanan subdivided the estate and renamed the main house "Auchmar" after the Buchanan estate on Loch Lomond Scotland. He became Member for Hamilton 1857-67 and served as President of the Executive Council in the 1864 Tache-Macdonald administration. He died in Hamilton in 1883." The marker was erected by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board, the Department of Public Records and Archives of Ontario. It does not have a number or other date. Street parking is permitted here. [Review 1474 of 2024 - 151 in Ontario - 22497 overall]
