Through Skylight’s network and operations, Skylight Steelworks became the go-to destination for film productions scouting diverse backdrops with enormous scale. It served as a futuristic planet, a dystopian city, a present-day port, DC’s Gotham and more – all while allowing Stelco to maintain their extensive ongoing operations without interruption.

whether that was of a family member previously
working at Stelco or of their own summer internship.

This revitalization of Stelco’s Hamilton Plant was a
beautiful farewell to the buildings and land that had
been the centerpiece of Hamilton for the last 100 years.
