McHattie plans 100-day tour to every Hamilton neighbourhood
(CBC Hamilton, Samantha Craggs, July 2 2014)
Mayoral candidate Brian McHattie hopes to expand his appeal to the suburbs by traveling to nearly 200 neighbourhoods in 100 days.
The current Ward 1 councillor is well known in the lower city. But he hopes to broaden that base by going door-to-door in all of Hamilton’s 190 neighbourhoods, he said.
McHattie launched his campaign in January, 10 months before the Oct. 27 election, so he could become better known throughout Hamilton, he said...
McHattie will knock on doors and hold community events, meeting residents and business owners while wearing a pair of tailor-made shoes bearing his blue campaign colours. With the tour, he hopes to set himself apart from competitors such as Coun. Brad Clark and former mayor Fred Eisenberger.

Coming 276 days after declaring, 182 after registering and 157 after launching the campaign, I would be surprised if similar legwork hasn't already taken place. (If not, more's the pity.)
Will be curious to see what his
trademark kicks look like.
