Effective July 2, 2021 The Town of Halton Hills has resumed full parking enforcement after the temporary relaxing of the parking by-law in April 2021. In April, 2021, Town Council passed a resolution directing staff to temporarily relax parking enforcement in Halton Hills due to the Provincial Stay-at-Home Order issued on April 2, 2021. With the anticipated increase to vehicular and pedestrian traffic as we move into Step 2 of the Province’s Roadmap to Reopen, regular parking enforcement practices will resume to ensure safe road conditions for all.
