One of his particular areas of focus is Hamilton's cemeteries and the wealth of tradition and history which they represent.

 Robin expresses his interest in cemeteries very effectively in a brief video clip which was prepared for broadcast by CPAC, Canada's Cable Public Affairs Channel. To view this short video select View Video and then select the "Victorian Graveyard" option after you follow this link. Robin has an interest in the many historic plaques that have been erected in the Hamilton community. As a new feature of this site, we have begun an expanding display of text and photos related to Hamilton's Historic Plaques. |
