The Oakville Festival of Film and Arts kicked off on Wednesday and promises a plethora of films with something for everyone! We spoke with two local film makers who have work in this years festival.

It’s a piece of Canadiana and it’s right here in Halton Hills. A barn owned by a couple in Glen Williams is situated beside the home where one of the members of the Group of 7 would stay on his visits to the hamlet. Although the building is quite old, more recently, it’s been discovered in the background of a portrait.

This weekend Burlington will celebrate the friendship with our two twin cities, Itabashi, and Apeldoorn. Canadian troops hold a special place in the hearts of Apeldoorn citizens as they were the force that liberated them in the second world war. However, the friendship extends from the past to present day, Nikki Wesley has the story.

It’s a fundraising campaign that takes place on a local level, but supports over 30-thousand families nationally. In Halton Hills, McHappy Day supports both the Georgetown Hospital Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House in Toronto. In each case, lending a hand to children and their families at a time when they’re most in need.

The Conservation Halton Foundation has its sights set on a fundraising total that’s never before been achieved. Ultimately, the “Connected Campaign” has a goal to increase the greenprint of Conservation Halton parks. The benefit of that influx of cash will be seen in the long term plan for the parks especially as the population of the region continues to expand.
