== Hamilton Fleetnet Tower ==

−
'''Location:'''
 
−
This tower is located in the city of Hamilton in the downtown core on Charlton Street, near St Joseph Hospital on top of one of the cities tallest buildings.
 
  
−
'''Coverage:'''
+
Under Ontario law<ref>[https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/01m25 Ontario Municipal Act, 2001] </ref>, there are three types of municipalities: Upper-tier, Lower-tier, and Single-tier. Upper-tier municipalities consist of two or more Lower-tier municipalities with services divided amongst the levels. Single-tier municipalities provide all municipal services.
−
To the east it is strong along the QEW until the Oakville/Burlington border using a rubber duck. You might want to switch to Welland/Fonthill or Mississauga in these areas. To the north this tower works well in Flamborough but a switch to either of Guelph’s towers is in order in the further northern regions of the city.
 
  
−
This tower works well along the QEW thru Grimsby but drops off shortly thereafter, switch to Welland/Fonthill at this point.
+
Municipalities may be known as a city, municipality, town, township, or village.  Upper-tier municipalities are often called counties or regions.  Population or land area are not considered in whether or not a municipality is Lower-tier or Single-tier nor are names associated with either of those items  For example, the City of Toronto, population 2.8 million and the Township of Cockburn Island, population 16, are both Single-tier municipalities; the City of Mississauga in Peel Region, population 700,000, and the United Townships of Head, Clara and Maria in Renfrew County, population 267 are both Lower-tier municipalities.  Likewise, Upper-tier municipalities can range from 20,000 to 1.5 million people.

Ontario Local Government

Under Ontario law[1], there are three types of municipalities: Upper-tier, Lower-tier, and Single-tier. Upper-tier municipalities consist of two or more Lower-tier municipalities with services divided amongst the levels. Single-tier municipalities provide all municipal services.

Municipalities may be known as a city, municipality, town, township, or village. Upper-tier municipalities are often called counties or regions. Population or land area are not considered in whether or not a municipality is Lower-tier or Single-tier nor are names associated with either of those items For example, the City of Toronto, population 2.8 million and the Township of Cockburn Island, population 16, are both Single-tier municipalities; the City of Mississauga in Peel Region, population 700,000, and the United Townships of Head, Clara and Maria in Renfrew County, population 267 are both Lower-tier municipalities. Likewise, Upper-tier municipalities can range from 20,000 to 1.5 million people.
