June is Recreation & Parks Month 2013.

Town of Halton Hills’ Recreation and Parks is proud to be registered as an Ambassador for June is Recreation & Parks Month 2013.


This is an exciting way to increase awareness of the value and important benefits of recreation and parks to individuals, families and communities. The theme, “Live it Everyday”, encourages people to participate in Recreation and Parks programs, services and facilities - everyday! This year we are asking residents to participate in a “2013 Live it Everyday Photo Gallery”. We want you to go behind the lens and show us what being active means to you. Whether you play a sport, hike, walk, cycle or swim we want to see you, your family, and friends being active. “We have a wide range of recreational opportunities available and encourage citizens to show their support of this national movement,” says Mayor Bonnette. “Submit your photos capturing any of your favourite activities around our magnificent Town.”

Submission Deadline: Monday June 17, 2013
