Halton Region is currently under a province-wide stay-at-home order

Premier Ford announced that in response to rising COVID-19 variant infections and hospitalizations, the government has declared a state of emergency and implemented a province-wide stay-at-home order. The stay-at-home order is in addition to the emergency brake shutdown already in affect and requires everyone to remain at home except for essential purposes. Review the Province of Ontario's website for information.

Under the stay-at-home order only leave your home for essential purposes:

• work, if you can’t do it remotely
• school
• groceries
• pharmacy
• helping vulnerable people
• outdoor exercise with members of your household

You should not travel outside your local community.

In response, community centres (including pools, fitness centres and arenas) and the Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate will be closed.

All registered recreation and culture programs. Drop-in activities, memberships, and indoor rental permits are cancelled. Refunds will be automatically issued to impacted customers.

Galleria art display

Watch a video conversation with Oakville Galleries Curator Frances Loeffler and Vancouver-based artist Barb Choit about the new public artwork commissioned by the Town of Oakville for display in the galleria of Oakville Trafalgar Community Centre.

The piece draws inspiration from a resident colony of swifts in the old Oakville Trafalgar High School located next to the community centre.
