The third Tree of Hope is located in Shelagh Law Parkette on the corner of Confederation and Main in the hamlet of Glen Williams. Donated by Al and Lois Fraser.
With the Christmas Season fast approaching, sadly the Acton Sports Park will be dark this year. The pool of trained volunteers needed to setup and maintain the Acton display has disappeared over the last few years. It takes about 7-10 committed volunteers, returning each year and about $7000 to sustain the displays in the Acton Sports Park. Last year the setup and maintenance in Acton was mostly done by volunteers from the Georgetown Dominion Gardens location. That double duty is unfortunately not sustainable. Like all charitable organizations, we are also challenged by dropping financial support. Light up the Hills is 100% funded by donations and community fundraising. Displays in Georgetown, Acton and Glen Williams all need to be financially self sustaining so that one location is not significantly subsidizing another. In recent years Acton financial support has fallen substantially and covers only a small amount of the annual cost of the event. We hope to revisit this for next year. We are desperately looking for Acton volunteers now for next year to maintain the park and assist with Acton Community fundraising.

Located in the beautiful Dominion Gardens Park, this is the site of the first Tree of Hope in 2008. The park comes alive with thousands of lights decorating both trees and lighting displays.
We have displays in two Halton Hills community parks.
​Georgetown and Glen Williams.
