BURLINGTON, ON

 

The folks at the head office of Conservation Halton on Britannia Road are excited – they are poised to reach the milestone of one million visits to its Conservation Areas in a calendar year for the first time in its history.

The city is more than just the Escarpment to the north and the lake to the south. It is the people in between that determine who we really are. And it takes more than a magazine saying we are the #2 city in the country doesn't make it so.

The one millionth visit is expected to take place this week and a celebration will be held this Friday, December 22 at 11 a.m. at Glen Eden. Ontario’s third busiest ski facility will serve as a backdrop for this milestone; Glen Eden is also opening for the 2017-18 ski and snowboard season the day before.
