HPL Central Staff
On January 14 2021, HPL was notified of a Central employee who tested COVID-positive. While at work, the employee was wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and maintained physical distancing. A thorough cleaning and disinfection of Central's Basement, Floor 1 and Floor 2 was completed. HPL is working with Hamilton Public Health for contact tracing. We wish the employee a quick and full recovery.
Bookmobile Modifications
Bookmobile service is paused until Saturday January 16, 2021 as a precautionary measure, so we can deep-clean after a staff member at Central staff went home ill and another was notified as a close contact of a COVID-19 positive case. Bookmobile items on affected floors are being quarantined out of an abundance of caution.

Land Registry Records

These records detail the chain of ownership of a property by means of plan and lot number. The date of each change of ownership can be determined but the existence of any specific building is not shown.
Land registration records are found in the land registry office on the 4th floor of the Ellen Fairclough Building, 119 King Street West, Hamilton, ON. 905-521-7561.
To use these records efficiently you must have the Plan and Lot Number of the property. Plan and Lot number can be obtained from the current tax assessment records in the City Clerk's Office.
