Will you be a Next Level Neighbour?
Coming Soon! Fall and winter "Next Level Neighbour" stories about awesome residents of Halton Hills who go above and beyond to help one another and build a great community.
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.

Community Socials
Launched in 2025, our Community Social events brought together residents, elected officials, Town staff, Regional partners, and the Hey Neighbour team for four fun and engaging mornings at parks throughout the Town. Thanks to the great turnout and positive response, Community Socials will be back in 2026. Check this space in the spring for more details.
Good Neighbour Day
National Good Neighbour Day takes place each year on September 28.
There are so many ways to appreciate and honour good neighbours, whether it’s a positive shout-out on social media, an invite in for a cup of tea or dropping off a bouquet of fresh flowers on a neighbour’s doorstep.
This year we invited Halton Hills residents to show their Good Neighbour Day appreciation to their neighbours by offering “make-and-take” Thank You cards to design and craft to show their appreciation for a good neighbour on the street. Hey Neighbour also hosted a “Draw What You Love About Your Neighbourhood” Post-it Note Art Show at various Town facilities ending with a Hey Neighbour Good Neighbour Day booth at the Georgetown Farmer’s Market on September 27.
Check back in next summer to see what’s happening for Good Neighbour Day 2026!
Block Parties
Neighbourhood Block Party presents the opportunity for residents of all ages to meet each other, share interests, celebrate diversity and strengthen our community connections. Block Parties help to build a strong sense of community connectedness and a culture of care and support.
If you're organizing a Block Party in your neighbourhood, our Neighbourhood Team is here to help! 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.

Play Streets
The Play Streets season has ended for 2025.
Thank you, Halton Hills, for joining the Hey Neighbour crew for another summer of fun and games at our 2025 Play Streets events! To have your street considered for a Play Street in 2026, please email our Neighbourhood Activator.
Play Streets are special short-term road closures that turn your neighbourhood into a safe, car-free zone where residents can connect, play, and have fun together! By transforming the street into a shared public space, our Play Streets program offers a space for residents to get to know their neighbours. Play Streets are part of the Town’s Hey Neighbour initiative and coincide with the great work the Town is doing to deliver free, quality, and accessible active programming. Our Hey Neighbour Team will bring and set up a variety of large outdoor lawn games and equipment for everyone to enjoy!
*Please note that our Hey Neighbour team is trying to visit as many streets as possible and won’t return to a street that has already experienced a Play Street event. However, if you would like to engage your neighbourhood to plan a Block Party, we would be happy to help—plus we still bring the fun lawn games to you! Check out our Block Party information above.
Watch this space in the spring for the 2026 Play Streets event schedule!
Open Streets
The Open Streets season has ended for 2025.
Open Streets brings our Town together to enjoy vehicle-free streets filled with activities, fun and community spirit. Join us each spring and summer reimagine our streets into vibrant spaces for everyone to explore, connect and celebrate!
Open Streets programming temporarily closes selected streets in Halton Hills, transforming them into lively spaces where people can walk, bike, play and engage in various activities. It’s a chance to experience our Town in a whole new way, promoting active living, visiting local businesses, and making community connections.
Watch this space in the spring for the 2026 Open Streets event schedule!
