The Organizing Committee for the Hamilton 2003 Cycling Championships, in conjunction with the City of Hamilton, is hosting a Community Open House on Tuesday, June 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The Open House is being held at Hamilton City Hall on the Mezzanine Level outside Council Chambers.

The Open House is a follow-up to the four Community Town Hall Meetings that were held in February and early March to provide information and respond to questions from residents and businesses regarding the two Championship Road Cycling events being held in Hamilton in 2003. The Tim Hortons Road National Championships will be held from June 27 to 29 and the Road World Championships will take place from October 6 to 12.
