Not a Canadian, but here are some suggestions based on the town histories.

HAMILTON HAMMERS
HAMILTON HARD HATS
HAMILTON STEELERS (repeat suggestion)

Its nicknames — all relating to its waning days as a major industrial centre — include the Ambitious City, Steeltown, the Hammer, Hammertown, and the Lunchbucket City. However, health care has outstripped heavy industry — exemplified by the twin steel giants of Stelco and Dofasco — as the largest employer. Moreover, the education, government, services and technology sectors have all dramatically developed as heavy industry has declined.
