"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."

"Found in the Felker’s Falls Conservation Area, Felker’s Falls remains a hidden gem among the more popular Hamilton, Ontario waterfalls. This long ribbon waterfall cascades over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment and ends in a bedrock gorge that reveals interesting formations. You can hike along the falls, or for a more accessible option, there’s a wheelchair-accessible loop that leads to the viewing area."

"Felker’s is definitely one my favorite waterfalls and hike’s to shoot. With a really awesome vibey forest that on foggy days, looks absolutely amazing around dusk and how the light beams through the forest transforming the scenery into something straight out of Tolkien book. And when the weather is overcast its still really cool too, like in these two examples hiking the top of the ridge."
