Burlington, Ontarioright Burlington (2003 population 161,437) is located in the Golden Horseshoe, across the harbour from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The land which is now Burlington was deeded to Chief Joseph Brant in 1798. and settlement started soon afterward. In 1873 Wellington Square was incorporated as a village (later renamed to Burlington), and it became a city in 1974. Like most cities of its size in Ontario, manufacturing of various goods sustains Burlington's livelihood, but its proximity to Hamilton and Toronto means many residents commute to those cities. It is part of the Greater Toronto Area, although it is still part of the Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area. In recent years it has been one of the fastest growing areas of Canada with many new homes being built. The region by the lake has a number of expensive homes while the rest of the community is mostly middle class suburbs. Burlington is home to the Burlington Teen Tour Band, a youth music organization operating in within the city since 1947. The band is comprised of boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 21, but they do not necessarily have to be residents of the city. The Burlington Teen Tour Band (also known as the Redcoats due to the red coloured British style military uniforms they wear) is a world renowned military style marching band, and is considered to be one of Canada's Musical Ambassadors. Burlington is represented in the Canadian Parliament by Paddy Torsney (Liberal) and in the Ontario legislature by Cam Jackson (Conservative). See also External link
