About Ancaster
The town
Ancaster is a former town at the west end of the City of Hamilton. It was incorporated in 1974 and merged into the new city in 2001. The city counts about 43,500 people in 2021 within the old town limits (177 km² of suburbs and farmland), a figure it builds from Statistics Canada geography rather than a census municipality. Its ward, Ward 12, includes the rural settlements of Copetown, Jerseyville, Lynden and Sheffield. Settled in the 1790s, Ancaster was the district's commercial centre until the Desjardins Canal at Dundas and the railway to Hamilton drew trade away. The City of Hamilton issues building permits and sets zoning; its Rural Hamilton Official Plan covers the land outside the urban boundary and fixes the rural settlement limits. The 24-hour emergency departments are in Hamilton: Juravinski and Hamilton General for adults, McMaster Children's for those 17 and under.
Around it
The Niagara Escarpment runs through Ancaster. Dundas Valley Conservation Area, 1,200 ha of Carolinian forest and cold-water streams with about 40 km of trails, among them the Bruce Trail and the Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail, lies between Ancaster and Dundas. Highway 403 crosses the community and meets the Lincoln Alexander Parkway at Mohawk Road. John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport at Mount Hope has scheduled flights. Part of the former town is in the Niagara Escarpment development control area, where certain development needs a Niagara Escarpment Commission permit, and Schedule A of the rural plan maps where the Greenbelt and escarpment plans apply. Ward 12 drains mostly to the Hamilton and Grand River conservation authorities; both regulate building and grading near watercourses, wetlands, floodplains and steep slopes, and both publish regulated-area maps.
