Notes on this record

  • Stoney Creek and Ancaster are communities of the amalgamated City of Hamilton. City-wide bodies (City of Hamilton, Hamilton Health Sciences, school boards, McMaster, Mohawk, Hamilton Police) are in ca-hamilton and are not repeated here; only employers sited in this community are listed.
  • City of Hamilton: 'nearly 4,000 people … work in the Ancaster Business Park in the life sciences, advanced manufacturing, food and beverage production and commercial warehousing industries' (660 acres between Shaver and Trinity Church roads).
  • Left out: Master Plant-Prod (its corporate headquarters is in Brampton); hr.mcmaster.ca not used (robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot). Tandia Financial has an Ancaster branch (head office Burlington).
  • 2026-10-30: Tim Hortons roasting site added back (Jim: corporations named after founders are fine).
