Where We Have Come FromCommunity Vision: A community where ...
We promote our unique identity to highlight our cultural assets There is an ease of access to community information for residents and
tourists The arts, culture and heritage sectors excel through collaboration There is an enhanced focus on:
Our natural heritage resources The strategic development of arts, culture and heritage hubs An interconnection of these hubs through natural pathways (trails, bike
paths, water) The regeneration and beautification of Highway 7 to reflect Halton Hill’s
diversity The repurposing of heritage/existing infrastructure for arts, culture and
heritage uses Arts, culture and heritage considerations are integrated into local
planning processes
