The Workers Arts and Heritage Centre (WAHC) is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Canada’s working-class history. Located in a restored 19th-century building, the centre offers exhibitions on labour rights, immigration, and social justice movements. Its galleries showcase both historical artefacts and contemporary art that reflect the experiences of workers. WAHC is situated near James Street North, Hamilton’s arts district, making it an easy addition to a cultural walking tour. Visitors can attend workshops, festivals, or simply enjoy the monthly Art Crawl, which brings the entire area to life.
