Parks By-Law Exemption Request at the Georgetown Fairgrounds
A report on the upcoming Council agenda focuses on a review of the Parks By-law exemption for amplified sound use at the Georgetown Fairgrounds. It outlines the results of monitoring, community consultation, best practices in municipalities, and stakeholder meetings. Staff's recommendation is to rescind the 2024 exemption for regular games and practices, limiting amplified sound to special events and tournaments only, and updating rental permit terms to better manage amplified sound.

Halton Hills Reminds Residents to Leash and Clean Up After Dogs
In Halton Hills, all dogs must be kept on a leash and under the control of their owner unless in a designated off-leash area. Dog owners share parks, trails, and open spaces with many other residents, visitors, and wildlife, and must abide by the dog regulations set out in Bylaw 94-077 to help protect these users and the natural environment. Residents are also required to “stoop and scoop” after their dogs, both on public and private property.
