August 2017 - News, Events, Workshops, Services and more

The Arts Council~Haliburton Highlands would like to thank the Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners' Association for their donation of $4,200 dollars to the  AITS program.  
Each year, we try to reach half of all the children in Grades 1-8 in the five Haliburton County elementary schools.  Local artists  share their skills and knowledge in painting or clay, dancing, weaving or other means of artistic expression as selected by their teacher.  The KLCOA contribution is a major enabler of our program.
