Hamilton weather, traffic and more: Daystarter Thursday

Thursday is an important day in human rights history.

On Aug. 28, 1833, British parliament passed a bill to abolish slavery in the United Kingdom as well as its colonies overseas. The legislation came into effect just less than a year later, on Aug. 1, 1834.

Many Commonwealth countries, including Canada, observe the anniversary of what's known now as Emancipation Day every year.

Ontario Provincial Police are reporting the following collisions on highways in the Hamilton area:

Toronto-bound 403, all have re-opened after three-vehicle collision closed the highway at Mohawk Rd., 9:03 a.m.
Toronto-bound QEW on the downside of the Burlington Skyway: two-vehicle collision blocking the left lane, no injuries, 7:36 a.m.

GO Transit isn't reporting any major delays on its train and bus routes running in and out of Hamilton.

Environment Canada says Thursday will be mainly sunny, with a high of 22 C. A relatively cool overnight low of 10 C is in the forecast.

Expect another pleasant one on Friday. A mix of sun and cloud and a high of 24 C are in store for the day.

These were supposed to be heady days for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Coming off an appearance at the Grey Cup last year and with a new stadium on the way, the team had raised hopes for a memorable 2014. But now, the Ticats' starting quarterback is out with an injury and whether Tim Hortons Field will be open for Monday's Labour Day Classic is still up in the air. Reporter Jeff Green writes about the Tabbies' dual woes.

You can quit smoking, eat healthier and exercise more to lower your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death. But avoiding heart disease risk factors is only as important as the quality of healthcare available to you, according to a new international study by McMaster University researchers published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Today's video hasn't gone viral, it isn't particularly cute or funny, and it's definitely not short. But it does offer a glimpse into just how big Hamilton is. Filmmaker Nathan Fleet took a drive around the perimeter of the entire city and filmed the whole thing using a hood-mounted GoPro camera. The journey is three hours long, so we don't suggest you watch the whole thing while at work.
