This week on The Brief, Campus Media Content Coordinator Sam Lee sits down with Cayley James, Outreach and Development Specialist at the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre (WAHC) in Hamilton.

Their conversation explores the centre’s mission and its roots in the historic Custom House, as well as its role in preserving and celebrating labour history through art, storytelling and community engagement. James also highlights WAHC’s upcoming spring fundraiser, Roll Up Your Sleeves, taking place April 11 from 7–10 p.m., and what attendees can expect from the event.

Together, the discussion offers insight into how spaces like WAHC connect past and present worker experiences while fostering creativity and education in the Hamilton community.
