New programs:
CREATIVITY, EDUCATION AND A CALL TO ACTION FROM OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH. ARTHOUSE IS EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH HALTON ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK WITH PROGRAMS INVOLVING THE RECYCLING OF "RETIRED" CANOES INTO COLOURFUL POLLINATOR GARDENS THAT WILL FLOURISH WITH NATIVE PLANTS FROM THE SIX NATION'S KAYANASE GREENHOUSES AND PROGRAMS SUPPORTING THE CLEAN-UP OF OUR STREAMS, RIVERS AND PARKS. OUR YOUTH WILL NAVIGATE AREAS WITHIN HALTON IN SEARCH OF PLASTICS AND OTHER FORMS OF WASTE THAT WILL BE ADAPTED INTO PUBLIC ART. WE ARE CONFIDENT THESE PROJECTS WILL WELCOME A NEW MODEL OF STORY-TELLING THAT WILL DRIVE CONVERSATIONS AND ACTION IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
