Prime Timers Hamilton
Enriching & Empowering the lives of gay and bisexual men since 2012
Acknowledgement of First Nations Traditional Lands
Prime Timers Hamilton meets 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, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

We Are a Men's Group
Prime Timers Hamilton affirms a policy of non-discrimination based on race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, a record of offences, marital status, family status or disability. However, as a fraternal organisation promoting the social opportunities of our members, we limit our membership to those who identify as gay or bisexual men and have obtained an age of 21 years. We limit our guests at regular functions to men who identify as gay or bisexual and have obtained an age of 21 years.
Trans men are welcome at all our events and activities.
Our Activities
At Prime Timers Hamilton, we try to offer our members and friends a variety of activities - both active and more sedentary. Here are some highlights of the activities we offer.
Bicycle Rides
Our cycling group does rides around Hamilton and other areas in southern Ontario. The rides are usually on paved surfaces with little vehicle traffic. Helmets are recommended.
Hikes
The hiking group takes on trails within greater Hamilton and occasionally in other areas. All hikes are graded for difficulty based on the coordinator's experience.
Walking
Walkie/Talkie affords participants the chance for some gentle walking and conversation with other members. Usually the paths are paved for your safety. Mall walks replace the outdoor walks during the winter.
Monthly Socials
Most months we get together at The Well in Hamilton for a speaker's presentation on topics of interest followed by the social time.
Potluck Meals
A series of potluck meals are offered in a member's home where the culinary skills of Prime Timers Hamilton are on full display.
Special Dine-Outs
Join us as we celebrate special milestones in the life of Prime Timers and our gay and bisexual community, such as our 10th anniversary supper shown here.
