Protecting Blue Spaces
Blue spaces are integral to our “greenprint”. Creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands connect our communities with nature, inspire learning and recreation, and contribute significantly to local biodiversity and climate resilience. Our 2025 Blue Gala (and our Blue Community Campaign) are raising funds for our blue spaces that contribute to healthy watersheds — and that connect people with nature through learning and recreation
at our parks.
Blue Gala — June 12
On Thursday, June 12, the Conservation Halton Foundation will host its seventh annual gala. Bringing together corporate and community partners, the event helps us build awareness and raise funds for priority projects. This year, our event focuses on our essential blue spaces. Proceeds will be directed to restoration projects that focus on enhancing and preserving our creeks, streams and wetlands. Learn more about the Blue Gala. Thank you to our presenting gala sponsors, Argo Development Corp and Mattamy Homes.
Blue Community Weekend — May 31 to June 1
On Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, all gate fees to our parks and additional donations to the Conservation Halton Foundation will support the Blue Community Campaign. Park visitors to Crawford Lake, Kelso and Mountsberg Conservation Areas will receive a free Conservation Halton Parks granola snack (while quantities last). The Blue Community Weekend is sponsored by Mattamy Homes and Rootree.
Your Impact
Our blue spaces – lakes, rivers, creeks, and wetlands – are abundant in the Halton region and offer valuable opportunities for people to connect with nature through outdoor learning and recreation in our parks.
As our communities grow, it’s more important than ever to protect and invest in these spaces so they continue to provide clean water, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming places for people of all ages to enjoy.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we can enhance and care for these important natural resources that bring people together and deepen our connection to the environment.
Funds raised through our Blue Gala and Community Campaign help ensure these blue spaces remain vibrant and accessible for current and future generations.
