One
way that Our proposal is unique is its inclusion of keeping with an
identity. The City of Hamilton’s identity can be found through keeping
with our Steeltown theme with the ‘Wall of Steel’ and the
‘Hammer.’ By taking this one step further, to a National level, we
feel that incorporating Our Country’s coins (Coinex) on ‘The Treasure
Way’ can be a way of also paying tribute to Our National Identity as
Canadians. Our money is unique and representative of the foundation for
all great development in this country. The symbolism is also powerful
because it reveals the path that Canadians have had to struggle along to
reach great heights and accomplishments in the Entertainment Industry and
how our Government has been there to support it every step of the way.
Therefore, it is our hope that the Canadian Government would see this
opportunity to get involved by providing the special Canadian coins that
would become the path of Our Treasure Way. Furthermore, just as the
Aboriginals planted the seeds that lead to the development of this
fantastic country, we feel that coins representative of Our Native Culture
would best symbolize an establishment that is hoping to achieve that same
status of greatness. As well, since this country is a great melting pot,
we are looking at getting exposure on an international level and would
rely on Foreign Affairs and our Heritage Minister to assist us in
providing the necessary contacts toward our goal of eventually becoming an
International Entertainment Conglomerate.
NATIONAL
SUPPORT The
idea for this complex is not only to bring Hamilton to the forefront, but
also to show Canada that Hamilton’s potential to establish a Film and
Television Industry can be just as flourishing and effective as the three
big markets of Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. We have already seen that
Hollywood itself has recognized the tremendous benefits of shooting in
Hamilton. It only seems fit that our Federal Government would need to be
involved in this project as a way of promoting our country’s unlimited
potential and continued growth in the Entertainment Industry. The
Government’s involvement would need to include many areas, the first of
which would be, its recognition of the benefits of such a project by
supporting it through public policy; And secondly, through its support of
funding and / or development of this project. With the assistance of the
Government on such a project, Canadians would feel more confident in
entering the Entertainment field, knowing that it would be a viable career
choice, with sufficient support and many potential options.
