Doors Open Halton Region

Doors Open Ontario

Halton Region invites you to share its rich heritage, cultural diversity and stunning natural beauty as its many communities open their doors to residents and visitors alike. From the urban communities of Burlington and Oakville on Lake Ontario’s shore to the rural splendor of Halton Hills, and the fast growing town of Milton, there is much to explore. Museums, public buildings, private homes and businesses, industrial complexes, places of worship, and even a wooden sailing ship are all waiting to be discovered, and hundreds of volunteers are waiting to tell their stories.

Doors Open Ontario is a province-wide celebration of broadly defined community heritage. Each year, from April to October, residents and visitors are invited to discover first-hand Ontario’s hidden heritage treasures, some of which have never been open to the public.

These can include heritage buildings and sites, gardens and landscapes, places of worship, and areas of industrial heritage among others.

The 2015 Doors Open theme is: play. Endure. Inspire. Ontario’s sports heritage.

Many of our sites will be showcasing the people, places and events that have been influential to the history of competitive sport in Ontario.

The Doors Open Halton Region committee would like to acknowledge Halton Region, the City of Burlington, the Towns of Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville, and Visit Oakville for their generous support of our event.
