If you don’t already know about it, Workopolis is a good resource for jobs, especially in the Toronto and surrounding area. Good luck!
I was born in Hamilton, and still have a soft spot for it. Admittedly, the reek from the mills on a hot day is a pleasure I could do without, but I love the parks. And it is fairly close to T.O., but traffic is hella heavy. With empty roads, the commute would be about 45 minutes, but the roads are never empty.
