Published September 17, 2021 at 8:59 am
The weeks seem to get shorter at the same time the days do. Do you find that too?
The weekend is here again and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful one in Hamilton. Things might be a little sticky on Friday with temperatures expected to be in the high 20s and a humidex in the high 30s and risk of thundershowers forecasted.
Saturday and Sunday, however, look just lovely with temperatures as high as 22 and clear skies.
Seems like a great time to get out and explore Hamilton.
Here are 5 things to do this weekend in the city.
5. Tiger-Cats vs. Stampeders
