There is no shortage of things to do in Algonquin Highlands this weekend!

There are just a few days left to have your say on changes to the governance structure in the County of Haliburton! 

With Canada Day falling on a Wednesday this year, it means the lighting of fireworks will be permitted in the Township of Algonquin Highlands on the holiday itself, as well as the preceding and following weekends. 

The Stanhope Museum will open for the 2026 season this Saturday, June 27! Come for a visit at 1123 North Shore Road between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. This year's featured exhibit takes a nostalgic look at Boshkung Lake's Camp Camulet and is one you don't want to miss!

This summer, visitors and residents are invited to experience the Haliburton Highlands in a whole new way with the launch of the Haliburton Highlands Heritage Passport, an interactive tourism experience that encourages you to discover the County’s museums, communities, and unique local stories.

Have your say at one of five public open houses this week that will help inform the County’s community-wide Affordability and Governance Structure Study.
