By getting to know and appreciate those who live closest to us, we develop a deeper sense of community and a valuable relationship with the place we call home.
The Town is committed to supporting neighbourhood connections, and are working towards a neighbourhood strategy specific to Halton Hills. Our engagement work under the branding “Hey Neighbour” will develop and grow as Town staff work with engaged residents to provide resources that allow for organic connections to take place within our neighbourhoods across Halton Hills.

We are now in Step 1 of the Provincial Roadmap to Reopening and outdoor gatherings are limited. Please continue to maintain physical distance and wear a mask.
Play Streets
Coming soon!
Play Streets are short road closures, creating a safe space for children 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.
The Play Streets initiative is a part of the Active Living Strategy and coincides with the Town’s neighbourhood programming and engagement projects. Play Streets are smaller than Open Streets and are delivered at the neighbourhood level, where Open Streets are larger events with an organized schedule and coincide with other activities in the community, such as the Farmer’s Market or Acton’s Leathertown Festival.
Please stay tuned for upcoming Play Street dates throughout Halton Hills.
If you would like to help organize a Play Street in your neighbourhood, please email our community development staff.
Let's Talk Neighbourhood Engagement Survey
As a resident of Halton Hills, the Town believes you know your neighbourhood best. We invite you to provide input on your views and experiences in your neighbourhood through the survey link below. This survey will gauge interest in areas that can be built upon and seek to understand gaps. Further questions will identify any needs for community connections or additional supports. The results from this survey will be used as a starting point for the strategy and act as a place to build upon for future Community and Neighbourhood Engagement work.
Please provide your feedback by Wednesday June 30, 2021.
Good Neighbour Day
Good Neighbour Day is on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 and creates an opportunity for neighbours to get to know each other better. This day acknowledges and celebrates the importance of a good neighbour. The goal of Good Neighbour Day is to build relationships between neighbours, because knowing your neighbours can help transform neighbourhoods into welcoming, safe, and inclusive place to live.
This fall, Halton Hills residents will be invited to share stories about their ‘good neighbours’, bring neighbours a baked good or vegetables from their garden, or download the Town’s “Good Neighbour Day” postcard, fill out the prompts, and introduce themselves to a neighbour by dropping it off on their doorstep!
During the week of Good Neighbour Day, residents can share photos of their initiatives on social media using and by tagging the Town. More information to come!
