Under Provincial Reg. 82/20 businesses that provide services to animals that are necessary for their health and welfare will be allowed to provide these services through curbside pickup and drop-off only.  For some animals, trips to the groomer may be necessary for their health and welfare.  Residents are urged to consider whether or not trips to a pet groomer are indeed necessary for their pet and if so, must adhere to all Covid safety guidelines.

Please see the Mayor's Message at the following link: https://www.haltonhills.ca/en/news/mayor-says-all-welcome-but-stay-home-if-you-can.aspx  

Thank you for reaching out to the Town. The Town is working closely with many of the baseball organizations locally.  All of these organizations are governed by their Provincial Sport Organizations (i.e. National Softball Association or Baseball Ontario). The PSO's have strict guidelines they must follow as they return to play. Minor Baseball has resumed games. It should be noted that in the Provincial Legislation for Stage 3, that team sports are only allowed to be played in leagues of no more than 50 people.  All organizations are working on a model that follows this protocol. We are very excited to see kids back to sports and many of our local organizations and volunteers are working to make this happen. 

Hello and thank you for contacting the Town. While Premier Ford did recently announce the move into Stage 3, the Region of Halton remains in Stage 2. Moving into Stage 3 will be a regional approach and this is something the Mayor of Halton Hills has been advocating for. Please see his request to Premier Ford here and click on "Halton Region Stage 3, a Letter to the Premier - July 14, 2020". Changes will not take place over night. Instead, practices and processes at the regional level will need to be gradually phased in as we digest all of the new implications that come with Stage 3 of the provincial plan.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Town. On July 9, 2020, Town Council passed temporary By-Law No. 2020-0037, requiring the wearing of a mask/face covering in enclosed public places during the COVID-19 pandemic which is to become effective this Thursday, July 16, 2020. You can read the full media release here. Local businesses can also download a mask-requirement sign for their storefronts. 

Thank you for reaching out and stay safe!

Thank you for reaching out to us! The Town of Halton Hills has made the decision to cancel all registered programs and facility rentals until June 22, 2020. All recreation facilities will also remain closed until this date with consideration given to reopening should conditions allow.

The Town’s action aligns with direction from the Medical Officers of Health and provincial orders to practice 'physical distancing' and avoid large gatherings. 

Residents with questions about registered programs or cancellations can call 905-873-2600, ext. 2275 or email recreation@haltonhills.ca. More information on the Town’s response to COVID-19 can be found on haltonhills.ca/covid19 

Hello and thank you for reaching out to the Town. The opening of outdoor recreational areas will be dictated by the Province’s lifting of regulations. Regional Forests and Conservation Areas are not under the jurisdiction of the Town, and we do not have any control over when they will be open. Please contact the Region of Halton 311 or your local conservation authority for more information. The Town of Halton Hills parks and trails (including the Hungry Hollow trail system) have remained open, provided that visitors follow physical distancing and restrictions on gathering, for use, though park amenities remain closed.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to the Town of Halton Hills. Unfortunately, this year we are not hosting our annual compost giveaway in light of the current COVID-19 situation. However, we will still be having our annual tree sale. Online tree ordering will be made available between May 6^th - 8th through the Town’s website and curbside pickup of orders will take place between May 11^th – 15^th at our Public Works yard located at 11620 Trafalgar Rd. Customers will need to show their proof of purchase from their cars upon order pickup and staff will load the trees into the vehicles.
