Algonquin Highlands Mayor Carol Moffatt

If you missed our first-ever virtual tree lighting, you can watch it via the link below. It's beautifully quirky and so very small town. And not bad for a first effort! Enormous thanks to AH staff and firefighters for helping to 'light up' the Township. And stayed tuned ... the ideas are flowing fast and furious for next year!... https://www.youtube.com/watch

Just an hour or so until AH’s virtual tree lighting! A tree in each community and, of course, the Dorset Tower will be lit up for the season, too. Join us for a half hour or so of festive fun.

An awesome bit of fun from our friends at Winterdance Dogsled Tours! #myhaliburtonhighlands #comewander #spy #wintershenanigans. You can't go diving with Winterdance but you CAN go dogsledding - the perfect outdoor bubble experience. Give 'em a call!

PUBLIC DRINKING WATER MAINTENANCE Public water fill-up stations located at the Dorset Recreation Centre and the Township Office will be closed for maintenance starting 3:00pm on Friday November 27, re-opening at 9:00am on Monday November 30th.

The countdown begins! Join us TOMORROW for the first-ever virtual community tree lighting. Greetings, singing, silliness and fun - and maybe even Santa!
