Hey Neighbour
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 and programs, offering resources that encourage friendly neighbourhood connections.
Toys in Parks
Our Toys in Parks program is a free, seasonal (May to October) Hey Neighbour initiative where outdoor toy cars and trucks are placed in a variety of Town parks across Halton Hills to encourage creative outdoor play and increase community interaction at the park. The goal of the Toys in Parks program is to help promote creative and imaginative play, extend playground and park visits, and to help kids be more active outside at our beautiful Town parks!
Fire Pit Pop-ups
Bundle up and join your neighbours for a free outdoor gathering in your local park. Hosted by the Town of Halton Hills Hey Neighbour team, Fire Pit Pop-ups offer a welcoming space to connect with friends, meet new people and enjoy time outdoors around a cozy fire table.
These casual, family-friendly drop-in events take place on select Sunday afternoons between late November and early March. Pull up a bright blue Muskoka chair, warm up by the fire and enjoy community connections in a relaxed outdoor setting.
When: Sundays, 2 - 4:00 p.m. (weather permitting), from late November until early March.
Everyone Welcome
Community Socials
Whether you're new to Halton Hills or have called it home for years, Community Socials are a fun and welcoming way to connect with neighbours, Town staff and elected officials in one of the Town's beautiful parks.
These free, family-friendly drop-in events bring residents together for a morning of conversation, activities and community connection. Enjoy a complimentary coffee and local treats while learning about Town programs, services and upcoming initiatives.
Residents can meet local first responders, explore emergency service vehicles through the Touch-a-Truck experience, and enjoy lawn games and outdoor activities with family, friends and neighbours. Town staff are also on hand to answer questions and help residents learn more about municipal services in a relaxed and approachable setting.
Please check back in spring 2027 for upcoming event dates.
Play Streets
A great big Hey Neighbour Thank You goes out to the hundreds of residents who came out to play with us and their neighbours too at all the summer Play Streets events!
Play Streets are part of the Townâs Hey Neighbour initiative and emphasize the great work the Town is doing to deliver free, quality, and accessible active recreation programming. 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 for a few hours, our Play Streets program offers a space for all residents, of all ages, to get to know their neighbours. Our Hey Neighbour Team will bring and set up a variety of large outdoor recreation equipment and interactive games for all residents to enjoy! Play Streets are for everyone!
