As a Canadian company whose co-founding partners grew up in Burlington with ties to the Hamilton community, Slate acquired the Steelport site in 2022 with an ambition to reimagine the 800 acres of underutilized land into a new hub for jobs, investment, and innovation for the residents of Hamilton.
The Steelport site is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek. This land is also covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
