The city is 58 kilometres ( 36 mi ) southwest of Toronto , with which the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area ( GTHA ) is formed .

Residents of the city are known as Hamiltonians . Since 1981 , the metropolitan area has been listed as the ninth largest in Canada and the third largest in Ontario . Hamilton is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens , the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum , the Bruce Trail , McMaster University , Redeemer University College and Mohawk College .

The City of Kitchener covers an area of 136.86 square kilometres and had a population of 233,222 at the time of the 2016 Census . The Kitchener metropolitan area , which includes the smaller , neighbouring cities of Waterloo to the north and Cambridge to the south , has 523,894 people , making it the tenth largest Census Metropolitan Area ( CMA ) in Canada and the fourth largest CMA in Ontario . Kitchener and Waterloo are considered twin cities which are often referred to jointly as Kitchener-Waterloo ( K-W ) , although they have separate municipal governments .

Victoria Park is the oldest park in Kitchener , Ontario , Canada , situated downtown . It is the site of numerous events and festivities . A Berlin ( Kitchener ) map from 1879 has a park called Town Park , located between Mill Street and Highland Road where Highland Courts and Woodside Parks stand today . It sits on the original Joseph E. Schneider homestead ; the City had purchased some acres from the family in 1895 and drained the swamp on the land . The 27 acre purchase was initially opposed by some parties for being too far outside of town . The park opened on 27 August 1896 ; the lake , bridges and three islands were in place at that time . The Park was named after Queen Victoria ahead of her diamond jubilee on the British throne . The human-made lake is fed by Schneider Creek , surrounds three small islands , and is crossed by multiple bridges . The park also contains the Victoria Park pavilion , the Victoria Park Gallery and Archives , a bandstand , and a historic boathouse , a pub and music venue . A pavilion was first introduced to the park in 1902 as a response to complaints that there was no where to seek shelter when it started to rain . Designed by Charles Knechtel , the structure was set on fire in 1916 and deemed too damaged to recover . A second pavilion , borrowing heavily from Knechtel 's original design , was built in 1924 .

Princess Louise , Duchess of Argyll , VA , CI , GCVO , GBE , RRC , GCStJ ( Louisa Caroline Alberta ; 18 March 1848 - 3 December 1939 ) was the sixth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert . In her public life , she was a strong proponent of the arts and higher education and of the feminist cause . Her early life was spent moving among the various royal residences in the company of her family . When her father , the prince consort , died on 14 December 1861 , the court went into a long period of mourning , to which with time Louise became unsympathetic . Louise was an able sculptor and artist , and several of her sculptures remain today . She was also a supporter of the feminist movement , corresponding with Josephine Butler , and visiting Elizabeth Garrett . Before her marriage , from 1866 to 1871 , Louise served as an unofficial secretary to her mother , the Queen . The question of Louise 's marriage was discussed in the late 1860s . Suitors from the royal houses of Prussia and Denmark were suggested , but Victoria did not want her to marry a foreign prince , and therefore suggested a high-ranking member of the British aristocracy . Despite opposition from members of the royal family , Louise fell in love with John , Marquess of Lorne , the heir of the Duke of Argyll . Victoria consented to the marriage , which took place on 21 March 1871 . Despite a happy beginning , the two drifted apart , possibly because of their childlessness and the queen 's constraints on their activities .
