Explore Halton this summer! Collage of images of friends and families enjoying outdoor activities.

From recreational fun to historic landmarks and summer events for all ages, there is lots to see and do in Halton!

Make the most of the summer season by keeping active, visiting new places and enjoying some outdoor fun. From hiking through the Escarpment trails to attending local festivals and events, I encourage you to take the time to explore all that Halton has to offer:

Plan a trip to local parks and beaches
Halton is home to many waterfronts and nature spots to enjoy the great outdoors! Experience Halton by bike
From a leisurely ride along the Lake Ontario waterfront (external link) to challenging Escarpment routes at a Conservation Halton (external link) park, biking opportunities are made available to residents of all ages and abilities. Visit our interactive cycling map that features eight cycling routes ranging from 36 to 100 km in length, as well as information about bike-friendly destinations certified by Ontario By Bike (external link).

Attend a local event
Local events are great opportunities to meet community members and share some fun with your friends and family. You can learn about what’s happening near you by visiting the Local Municipal websites for the City of Burlington (external link) and Towns of Halton Hills (external link), Milton (external link) and Oakville (external link).

Discover and support local businesses
Taking advantage of local shopping and restaurants are great ways to treat yourself while supporting our regional economy. Visit a local Business Improvement Area (BIA) to find exciting offerings near you, or use our Simply Local online map to discover family-owned agricultural businesses and farms in Halton.

Take in Halton’s heritage
Learn about our community’s history by visiting a local heritage destination. Visit Ontario Museums (external link) to find information about museums, galleries and other cultural attractions in and around Halton.

I hope you have a safe, healthy and fun-filled summer as you enjoy all that our region has to offer! By staying active and involved in our community, we experience what makes Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
