The Redhill Valleys among local winners at CMAOntario Awards
Hamilton-grown musicians, a band and a radio station took home CMAOntario awards Sunday. Three-member band the Redhill Valleys won 'Group or Duo of the Year,' Ancaster's Mackenzie Leigh Meyer won 'Roots Artist or Group of the Year,' Waterdown's Josh Ross won the 'Compass Award' and KX94.7, Hamilton's country station, won 'Radio Station of the Year.' The win was a first for the Redhill Valleys. 'Winning Group of the Year in our hometown makes this moment extra special,' said Chelsea McWilliams, the bass player and singer. 'Hamilton has a rich, resilient music scene, and we're proud to be part of a community that keeps showing up, creating, and lifting each other up. It's a win for all the local bands out there making noise.' The CMAOntario Awards and Festival was Sunday at several venues across Hamilton, including the Textile Building and the Music Hall. The 13th annual awards show was the last to be hosted by Canadian country star Jason McCoy. McCoy announced 20 winners at the show, which ended off a weekend of workshops, intimate performances and open mics. Country singer-songwriter Owen Riegling won the most awards, taking home five trophies. Riegling is from Mildmay, Ont., a small town about 150 kilometres northwest of Hamilton, past Elmira, Ont. The show featured performances from country singers such as Andrew Hyatt, Sacha, Nate Haller and Robyn Ottolini. The Redhill Valleys also performed. McCoy was also honoured with the first Real McCoy Award, sponsored by Slaight Music. The award will honour an individual who represents the compassion, integrity and commitment to the craft of Ontario's country music community. The Country Music Association of Ontario was founded in 2007. Cheyenne Bholla is a reporter at The Hamilton Spectator. cbholla@

In region enduring sales slump, bungalow-like house in Waterdown gains four offers
8 Silver Crt., Hamilton Asking price: $999,000 (April, 2025) Selling price: $1.105-million (April, 2025) Previous selling price: $200,899 (June, 1996) Taxes: $7,004 (2025) Days on the market: 11 Listing agent: Ed Cassidy, Bosley Real Estate Ltd. In the Hamilton region, properties littered the market for weeks, if not months, often after generous price cuts. Yet this three-bedroom house drew four offers in 11 days in April. Its success was tied to its mesmerizing appearance – and price under $1-million. 'This market has been hit hard because of the impact and uncertainty of tariffs in the region,' said agent Ed Cassidy. 'Given the number of listings in the Hamilton/Waterdown area, my intention was to make 8 Silver Crt. stand out through multiple social media platforms, professional staging and photography, and strategic pricing to draw interest from buyers online.' Emphasis on its unique layout also accounts for the $106,000 premium paid by the buyer. 'My advertising strategy and messaging was targeted with a key focus towards mature buyers, likely downsizers, searching for that elusive, one-level living space in order to age in place without the need for climbing stairs,' Mr. Cassidy said. 'Not only was the primary bedroom on the main level, but there was a second bedroom that could be used as an office or a bedroom on the main floor.' This 1½-storey house offers one bedroom and one of its three bathrooms upstairs. Below, there are separate cooking and dining areas and a laundry room with access into the garage. The living room features a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings and sliding doors that open to the 45- by 100-foot grounds. The basement is unfinished. 'The home is situated on a very desirable, quiet, tree-lined court that is a short stroll to many shops and amenities,' Mr. Cassidy said. 'Watertown is a hidden gem with a small town feel that is minutes to the Aldershot GO Station, the 403, and the QEW, offering easy access to the GTHA and Niagara region.'
