This grocery store chain is opening a new location on the Hamilton Mountain
Scott's No Frills will open at 970 Upper Wentworth St., on June 26 — right across the road from Lime Ridge Mall, Loblaw Companies Ltd. confirmed to The Spectator in an email.
The store, which will span roughly 15,000 square feet, will carry fresh produce, meat, frozen goods, multicultural products and Canadian items, a statement from the grocery chain said.

Herbert moved up in the company and held managerial roles such as produce manager and later was an associate manager. He began the journey of becoming a franchisee last year, according to Loblaw.
Loblaw noted the opening of the store has created 60 new jobs for the community. To mark the opening, Herbert is donating $1,500 to the Neighbour to Neighbour Centre.
To celebrate the grand opening, the store will host giveaways for the first 100 customers each day from June 26 to 29.
And starting on July 8, customers will be able to utilize delivery options and PC Express pickup.
The store will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., daily.
The opening of the store marks a new grocery offering for the area, which already has a Fortinos on Mall Road as well as M&M Food Market and Eastern Food Market on Upper Wentworth.
There are several other No Frills locations across Hamilton.

Video: 100,000 passengers stranded amid major airline strike
Over 100,000 passengers have been stranded due to Air Canada flight attendants participating in a major strike against the airline. The strike persisted over the weekend despite the Canadian government ordering the flight attendants to return to work. In a Sunday press release, Air Canada confirmed that it had suspended a plan to resume Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights after the Canadian Union of Public Employees 'illegally directed its flight attendant members to defy a direction from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to return to work.' The press release noted that flights would resume on Monday evening. 'All operations of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge were suspended August 16, 2025, due to a strike by CUPE. In accordance with the Government of Canada's direction, the CIRB ordered a resumption of our activities and directed our flight attendants to return to work,' Air Canada stated. 'This order ended both CUPE's strike and the lockout Air Canada had imposed in response. Approximately 240 flights scheduled to operate beginning this afternoon have now been cancelled.'

Fox Business reported that the flight attendants claimed they are only paid for work when an airplane is moving and that they are not paid for the boarding or unloading processes.

While the board issued the order, the flight attendant union opposed the government order, according to Reuters. In a statement to Fox Business, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said, 'We will be challenging this blatantly unconstitutional order that violates the Charter rights of 10,517 flight attendants, 70% of whom are women, and 100% of whom are forced to do hours of unpaid work by their employer every time they come to work.' 'We invite Air Canada back to the table to negotiate a fair deal, rather than relying on the federal government to do their dirty work for them when bargaining gets a little bit tough,' the union added.

Roughly 10,000 workers walked off the job Saturday after contract negotiations reached an impasse. Compensation remains a big sticking point in the talks.

Air Canada Suspends All Flights, Withdraws Financial Guidance
After 10,000 Air Canada striking flight attendants refused a government back-to-work order, Canada's flagship carrier was forced to suspend operations and pull its financial guidance—while canceling flights for half a million passengers. Defying a federal back-to-work order, Air Canada flight attendants continued their strike at Toronto's Pearson Airport on Sunday. Toronto Star via Getty Images On Sunday, 10,000 striking Air Canada flight attendants refused a government order to return to work—a defiance the Canadian Industrial Relations Board said was 'unlawful.' On Monday, Air Canada suspended its third-quarter and full-year guidance and cancelled all flights 'until further notice.' The ongoing labor dispute has forced Air Canada to cancel more than 2,300 flights over the past week—1,153 domestic and 1,165 international—according to data from Cirium, an aviation industry data and analytics firm. The airline estimated 500,000 customers have been impacted by a canceled flight so far. As of noon Monday, more than 550 Air Canada flights were canceled for the day, according to FlightAware data. Air Canada stock was down more than 1.5% as of early Monday afternoon, while indexes were mostly flat. Air Canada's labor agreement with its 10,000 flight attendants expired on March 31. After reaching an impasse following eight months of collective bargaining, Air Canada flight attendants walked off the job Saturday, around 1 a.m. Within 12 hours, the Canadian government intervened, asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to impose binding arbitration. On Sunday, the CIRB ordered Air Canada flight attendants back to work. The union representing the flight attendants, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), defied the order, forcing Air Canada to suspend its plan to resume operations Sunday. All Air Canada flights scheduled for Monday have been canceled. When Will The Impasse End? Nobody can say. Air Canada has decried the work stoppage as illegal, but flight attendants insist they are dug in. 'Our members are not going back to work,' CUPE national president Mark Hancock told reporters outside Toronto's Pearson International Airport. 'We are saying no.' Video taken at Pearson on Monday shows flight attendants chanting 'Don't blame me, blame AC.' 'All Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights are canceled due to CUPE's actions,' Air Canada's website advised passengers Monday. 'Please do not head to the airport, as flights are not operating.' Air Canada passengers who are ticketed to travel between now and Aug. 22 can rebook travel at no extra cost for an alternative date between Aug. 23 and Sept. 30. Why Are Air Canada's Flight Attendants Striking? The main issue in the labor dispute is boarding pay—a longtime bone of contention for flight attendants around the world. Like the majority of airlines worldwide, Air Canada only pays flight attendants for their time when aircraft doors are closed for a flight and not for boarding time—when flight attendants are on duty before and after the flight, assisting passengers, checking the galley, giving safety demonstrations and performing other required tasks. 'It's time for a fair deal, including the new industry standard of boarding pay and other time currently unpaid at work,' Sara Nelson, president of the U.S.-based Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), said in a statement. The AFA, which represents more than 50,000 flight attendants at 20 airlines, has backed the Air Canada flight attendants, saying the carrier 'pays a poverty wage for the work of aviation's first responders and that has to change.' Do U.s. Airlines Pay Flight Attendants For Boarding Time? Some major U.S. carriers do, but they only started to recently. In 2022, Delta Air Lines became the first major carrier to pay flight attendants for boarding time, at 50% of their hourly rate, to stave off a unionization drive. (The Atlanta-based carrier is the only major U.S. airline without unionized flight attendants.) This year, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines also began paying flight attendants for boarding time at half the hourly pay rate, following lengthy labor contract negotiations. A tentative agreement between United Airlines and its flight attendants union included boarding pay but was not ratified, so the carrier is still not paying for boarding time. Southwest Airlines does not pay flight attendants for boarding time. Tangent The median wage for flight attendants in the U.S. last year was $67,130, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
