Events happening at all Conservation Halton parks and areas have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
They say the decision came as a result of looking out for the safety of their staff, visitors and healthcare workers in the community.
That includes Maple Town in Campbellville’s Mountsberg Conservation Area.
Crawford Lake will be open, with trail access, but the Longhouse Village will be closed for the immediate future and Sweet Water Season will be closed for the remainder of the season.
Rattlesnake Point, Hilton Falls, Mount Nemo and Robert Edmondson will remain open, with trail access, but facilities, such as visitor centres, indoor washrooms, gift shops and food services, will be closed for the immediate future, so visitors are encouraged to plan ahead.
Glen Eden will be closed for the remainder of the season.
Conservation Halton Administration’s Office will be closed to the public but will continue to operate through phone and email communications. We will also continue to receive deliveries and accept well water samples.
Chief Administrative Officer, Hassaan Basit, explains their reasoning:
“We understand the importance of access to nature for community health and wellness, so we have worked to keep as many of the trails as possible open for public access. With so many of our industry partners closing to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we feel it is our responsibility to support these efforts.
Conservation Halton will reassess park operations on April 6th.
