Use the power of letter-writing to influence world leaders to protect individuals and communities who are denied their human rights.
Every year, Amnesty International identifies people and communities at risk of human rights abuses worldwide, raises awareness and seeks solidarity and justice for them. This year Write for Rights has picked cases where Canada-wide and global activism can make an important difference. Learn about these cases and write letters for the individuals and communities whose human rights are being abused.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
