Doors Open Hamilton, a local event aimed at promoting the city's architecture at some 38 venues, happens May 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The chair of Doors Open Hamilton hopes the 2023 edition of the event will spur on the preservation of several historic Hamilton buildings still in “good shape” and “perfect for restoration.”

“Large malls are fantastic, but you want to have those little strips of old places that are all sort of thriving in the middle of a city, don’t you?” Kyles told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.
