Earth Week Celebrations

Thank you to our sponsors, residents, organizations and businesses who participated in the Town’s 2024 Earth Week celebrations and activities. Together, the community took positive actions for the environment and made Earth Week a huge success!  

Highlights include:

• Community Cleanup had over 500 participants

• 22-Minute Makeover had 100 per cent participation from Halton Hills’ schools, many businesses and 120 Town staff participated in cleaning the community! Thank you to Superior Glove Works in Acton for donating clean-up gloves!

• 150 trees and shrubs were planted in Hungry Hollow by residents and Credit Valley Conservation to grow the local tree canopy.

• The Halton Hills EcoFilm Fest hosted an uplifting film on alternative agriculture models for a better economy and healthy environment.

• The Bird Friendly Symposium had residents and environmental groups totaling about 80 attendees, who gathered to learn about Nature Canada’s Bird Friendly City Designation and share the many great environmental stewardship actions being implemented here in Halton Hills.

• Launched the second year of the Town’s Tree Voucher Pilot Program from April 26 to June 30, 2024. This program supports expanding Halton Hills’ tree canopy by offering a $50 voucher on a tree valued at $60 or more, from Reds Garden Centre or Sheridan Nurseries in Georgetown. Tree vouchers were available at the Acton Arena and Community Centre, Gellert Community Centre, and Mold-Masters SportsPlex.

• The Halton Hills Bike Swap sold 60 bicycles and collected $2,000 for local food banks. This event recycles bicycles and keeps them out of the landfill. A free bicycle giveaway was held on May 11, 2024 at the Bethel ReCYCLE event (Acton Bethal Church, Acton), on May 11.  

The free Compost and Woodchip Giveaway was held on April 27^th at the Robert C. Austin Operations Centre. Donations were collected for local food banks, and residents picked up compost and woodchips to improve their garden’s health.
