Connect with staff, Regional partners, elected officials and your neighbours at four upcoming ward events in our beautiful Town parks. Treats and activities for all! Thanks to our sponsors Terra Cotta Cookies and Tim Hortons for supporting these events.
By getting to know and appreciate our neighbours, we cultivate a deeper sense of community and foster a meaningful relationship with the place we call home.
The Town is dedicated to cultivating a sense of belonging, safety, and connection among residents. Town staff are focused on strengthening bonds within our communities and are actively working to support neighbour relationships through our Hey Neighbour engagement initiatives, offering resources that encourage organic neighbourhood connections.

We’ve packed away our Fire Pit Pop-up programming until the fall. Thank you to the more than 200+ residents who popped by to chat with the Hey Neighbour crew, to enjoy a hot chocolate or two and some warm conversations with your neighbours on all those snowy Sundays this past winter!
Stay tuned this later this year for the dates, times and locations of our next round of Fire Pit Pop-ups!
Our Neighbourhood Programming crew has been busy all winter sourcing heavy duty toy trucks and adding identifiable Town of Halton Hills stickers. Toys are intended to promote creativity, encourage cooperative play and make play times longer. Look for Toys in Parks from the end of May to September this year.

Play Streets are short-term road closures, creating a safe space for families to play outside together in their own neighbourhood. Play Streets typically allow children to play freely, without organized games or activities. This program offers increased space for individuals to be physically active by transforming streets into shared public spaces.
Play Streets are part of our Hey Neighbour initiative and coincide with the work the Town is doing to deliver quality, accessible, and free programming. Town staff (our Neighbourhood Team) will provide a variety of recreation equipment for residents to enjoy.
Check this space in the spring of 2025 for a list of upcoming Play Streets events.
Open Streets brings our Town together to enjoy vehicle-free streets filled with activities, fun and community spirit. Join us as we reimagine our streets as vibrant spaces for everyone to explore, connect and celebrate!
Open Streets temporarily close selected streets in Halton Hills, transforming them into lively spaces where people can walk, bike, and engage in various activities. It’s a chance to experience our town in a whole new way, promoting active living, local businesses, and community connections.

To support and streamline the planning process, the Town of Halton Hills staff are available to assist Block Party organizers throughout the planning process, act as a liaison, and facilitate any questions you may have.
