Town to host first Father's Day bash What are your plans for Father's Day? The Halton Hills Cultural Roundtable has been organizing many amazing events throughout Halton Hills for the Big Daddy Festival. This will be the only festival in all of Canada to celebrate Father's Day and it's happening right here in Halton Hills! There will be many events throughout the weekend of June 18-20. Visit www.bigdaddyfestival.ca for more information. ··· This month marks 26 years of celebrating Seniors Month. The theme this year is "Coming of Age", to capture the Province's progress in addressing the challenges and opportunities of a booming seniors population. This year the Georgetown and Acton Seniors' Centres are celebrating their seniors by hosting a barbecue in their honour. The Georgetown barbecue will be on June 18 at 5 p.m. with Acton's June 24 at 6 p.m. Special entertainment has been arranged to honour our seniors. June 15 marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day as well and we encourage everyone to wear something purple to help demonstrate that elder abuse cannot be tolerated. ··· I hope you have an opportunity to see the new boardwalk in Hungry Hollow and experience this beautiful trail as I recently did.

The Acton society have also been busy planting in downtown Acton. ··· Town councillors and myself had the privilege of meeting many of our volunteers at the recent Volunteer Appreciation Event. For those volunteers who couldn't make the event; a sincere thank you for your dedication to our community. ··· If you're interested in seeing beautiful original art work by our own Halton Hills seniors, come and visit the Mayor's Art Wall at the Civic Centre. ··· Keep it real!
