Halton Hills’ hamlets each have a unique identity shaped by their history, landscapes, streetscapes, and built form. A proposed Hamlet Character Preservation Structure would help ensure future planning and infrastructure decisions respect what makes these communities distinct.

Halton Hills councillors debated planning changes for the Georgetown GO Station and Mill Street Corridor. Council approved the GO Station amendment and referred the Mill Street plan back to staff for further review.

Halton Hills Council has backed a two-dome concept for the Eighth Line park expansion after Councillor Jason Brass moved to include the expanded plan in a federal funding request. The proposal would create additional year-round space for local sports while pursuing outside funding to help reduce the cost to taxpayers.

When a farm emergency happens, every second counts. Jason Brass is advocating for Halton Hills to explore Farm 911, a program that helps first responders locate farm fields, woodlots, and rural access points more quickly. The goal is simple: improve emergency response and enhance safety for local farm families and rural residents.

After land was generously donated for a future Halton Hills hospital, Jason and Councillor Clark Somerville brought forward a motion to include both the donated property and adjacent lands within the urban boundary. Jason highlights both the opportunity ahead and the challenges that still need to be addressed to help move the project forward.
