Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), the Town of Halton Hills, and Halton Region are inviting Acton residents to share their ideas on the Acton Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP).
This is a community-driven plan to make Acton more sustainable, climate-ready, and to improve the health of Black Creek, Fairy Lake, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
The initiative, part of the Fairy Lake Revival project, builds on recommendations from CVC’s Black Creek Subwatershed Study and Halton’s Total Phosphorus Offset Strategy for the Acton Wastewater Treatment Plant. It’s also CVC’s fourth SNAP in the Credit River Watershed and second in Halton Hills, following the success of the Hungry Hollow SNAP in Georgetown. Projects will focus on restoring local waterways, supporting sustainable neighbourhood improvements, and providing programs for both urban and rural properties.
Mayor Ann Lawlor called the plan “an opportunity for everyone to make a difference,” while Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr emphasized the importance of protecting local water resources and natural heritage. CVC staff say input from residents will help shape a greener, healthier, and more connected Acton for years to come.
How to Get Involved:
- Acton SNAP Survey: Open until October 3rd. Participants will be entered into a prize draw.

Residents are encouraged to take part and help guide the future of Acton’s neighbourhoods and natural spaces.
