Happy New Year! Just before the holiday season, in December 2018, we received notice that we’re incorporated in the Province of Ontario and that our status as a not-for-profit has been approved! This is a major step for the Haliburton Highlands Arts Centre Foundation. Next is ratifying our by-laws and sending in the application to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to achieve charitable status.

In the meantime, we’re working on a set of Frequent Asked Questions for the website and preparing a marketing materials for distribution to interested parties. We’re very excited about 2019 and the new developments it will bring for the HHAC Foundation.

Today, we sent in our application for incorporation.  The first major step of two in becoming a charitable organization.  Now we wait.... but not really - there's still a lot of tasks to accomplish in the meantime!

Hi everyone,

welcome to the Haliburton Highlands Arts Centre Foundation website.  There's been talk and dreams of an arts centre in Haliburton County.  Between multiple choirs, film festivals, touring professional acts, summer opera, the chamber orchestra, and community ensembles, there's a need for this kind of facility.

So we think it's time that one be built - and we're here to raise the funds to do that.  An application for charitable status is on its way and once it's approved, it'll be full-steam-ahead!

Stay tuned for more information.

Yours truly,
the board of directors
