The City of Waterfalls Bus is now on the road!

The City of Waterfalls Bus made its debut at the Winona Peach Festival on August 29, 2009. Heads turned and smiles erupted at the sight of the large, beautifully wrapped RV making its way through the Hamilton streets, toward the festival site. See the videos below: the day was windy, but the WOWs are still audible!

Mr. Ecklund intends to exhibit the bus at the multitude of fairs and festivals that take place annually throughout Ontario, and is looking into some cross-border events as well. The bus itself has been used at numerous community events already, and Mr. Ecklund welcomes any group that would like to use the bus at their event to give him a call.

Hamilton The City of Waterfalls

Thursday November 12, 2009 • Leave a Comment 

CityOfWaterfalls.ca is a celebration of Hamilton’s many waterfalls and how they collectively make our great city the Waterfall Capital of the World. Make sure that you bookmark it and keep visiting, as this site has become a huge portal containing all types of information about these natural wonders and the various ways that they have contributed to the growth and economic development of Hamilton.

This website was sponsored and developed by Hamilton community leader and businessman Chris Ecklund, with active support and assistance from Joseph Hollick, known affectionately on the team as “Mr. Waterfall”. It is a labour of love and a gift to the community of Hamilton, in recognition of the city’s enviable position as the Waterfall Capital of the World.

Our Facebook group is exploding in growth, with over 12,000 members now signed up. According to Facebook Analytics, we are now at 215 million impressions in the Facebook network. The City of Waterfalls Facebook Group is the largest Hamilton-themed group on the Facebook Network.

We also have our super-popular Keepers of the Water Ning group. Joining is easy, and you get your own mini-site that you can easily add waterfall photos and videos to. If you’ve ever used Facebook or MySpace, you’ll find this Ning setup to be a breeze! If public forums are more your style, sign up for our Falls Forum. Unlike many groups and organizations who hire marketing companies and install a forum or two for SEO purposes, Chris Ecklund and the City of Waterfalls web team give those who love Hamilton’s waterfalls a choice of internet venues to proclaim and show their support.
