Winter Activities in Halton Region – 2022

title image

One of the things we love most about Milton and the surrounding Halton Region is how beautiful the winter and Christmas holiday season is in our communities. Another thing we love is how many fun activities there are to experience and enjoy!

We know that winter is not everyone’s cup of tea, especially when the snow dumps down hard, roads turn to ice rinks, and how eyebrows freeze just stepping a foot outside the door to grab the newspaper. Shoveling snow really should be an Olympic sport, right?!  Even if winter is not your favourite season (we know it’s summer), there are a variety of interesting and fun things offering in and around our community.

5 Fun Things to do in Halton Region this Winter:

Milton Santa Clause Parage (Saturday, November 26th): Layer on your warmest clothes, stuff your pockets with candy canes, and fill up your thermos with hot cocoa because the Milton Santa parade is back this year! The parade starts at 1:30 pm at Main Street West and Whitmer. Visit their website for full details and the parade route: https://www.miltonsantaclausparade.ca/   

Skiing and Snowboarding Close to Home:  We’re very lucky to have a ski hill just minutes from our community of Campbellville! The snow has started to fly, so it won’t be long until Glen Eden is open for the season and offering tons of fun on the slopes - https://gleneden.on.ca/. Glen Eden is a great sized facility for those looking to learn how to ski or snowboard, or those who already know how and just want to have fun. They offer seasons passes, day passes, and lessons!

Campbellville Santa Clause Parade (Sunday, December 18th):  This year, the parade is returning to the village in its traditional format!  Last year, the parade was a drive through event due to government and health restrictions, but this year it will return to its previous glory. The Campbellville Santa Clause parade is a great community gathering involving floats, a big combine tractor, and there are many other local events following. It’s also very close to Christmas and is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Christmas Town – Mountsberg Conservation Area:  If you’re interested in a magical visit with Santa this Christmas then look no further than Mountsberg Conservation Area.  This awesome experience includes a wintery wagon ride, treats, crafts and more!  It’s a great family activity, right in our beloved Campbellville. Tickets are needed and they go fast! Visit their website for full details: https://www.conservationhalton.ca/christmas-town/

Outdoor Activities at Crawford Lake Conservation Area:  Another great place in Campbellville to offer exquisite nature experience is Crawford Lake.  Put on your hiking boots and hit the trails to see the beautiful nature in our community.  You can even snowshoe or cross-country ski, once we have a good snowfall! There is a boardwalk that wraps around the lake, and bug wooden carvings of local animal species along the trail. Check out their website to learn more about their winter activities - https://www.conservationhalton.ca/parks/crawford-lake/

Very reliable storage. A good solution to park your car and keeping it protected from all weather conditions. Although a bit remote location.. but the price and the service was worth it.

I went in to find out some information on storage units for when I move in a couple weeks and was happily surprised by the customer service I received. I had looked at a few other storage facilities in Woodstock but their customer service was terrible compared to Jared's from Storage Solutions. He was professional and understanding of my needs and was ready to help anywhere he could. I will definitely be spreading the word to any of my friends looking for units!

Great rates for a clean, secure, well lit place. Really good staff and a company that cares. New facility and the competitors are pretty tired looking and charging the same rates (if not a bit more).

My husband and I recently relocated from the US and needed a place to store all of our belongings while we secured a new home. The folks at Storage Solutions advised us on the right size unit for our needs, at the right price. They were kind and helpful with all of our "first-timer" questions. We were very confident in the security of the place, and had absolutely no issues. I would highly recommend and use them again if needed.
