Biography

As alumni of St. Thomas More, and St. Vincent de Paul schools, Councillor Mike Spadafora grew up in Ward 14. It is now that he has been given the opportunity which he considers a great honour, to bring positive change, and represent the residents of Ward 14.

Mike’s proudest role thus far is being a husband to his wife Joanna, and father to his three young children Ela Rose, Ava and Michael Jr. His family has been his greatest inspiration to extend his voice and energy into making Hamilton a better place to raise a family and call Hamilton our home.

Mike has had the pleasure of combining two of his greatest passions, community, and sports. As the long time Hamilton Huskies Hockey Club GM, and Hamilton Kilty B’s Jr Hockey Club President, Mike has offered many years of volunteering and supporting our local hockey associations. Mike has also been a member of the Hamilton Tiger Cats-TigerTown Council since 2019. These roles have played an integral part in building and forming connections between Mike and his community.

Prior to coming into office in 2022, Mike held the position of Business Development Manager for PPG-Dulux where he managed numerous customers and clients across Ontario. Previous to the role at PPG-Dulux, Mike owned and operated a contracting company where he met with many local suppliers, contractors, and homeowners to build homes in the area.
