The city is earning recognition for making cycling adventures more accessible!

Burlington is one of eight Ontario municipalities to receive a 2026 Bicycle Friendly Community Award, presented at the Ontario Bike Summit. The award recognizes efforts to improve cycling safety and accessibility through infrastructure, education, planning, and community engagement.

For Burlington residents, the recognition celebrates more ways to connect neighbourhoods, enjoy local trails, and choose active transportation. With more than 50 kilometers of multi-use pathways alongside roads, plus about 31 kilometers of off-road paths, including the popular Centennial Trail, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Whether you’re a regular cyclist or just enjoy a leisurely ride, consider exploring Burlington by bike!

Burlington’s downtown streets will soon be filled with holiday cheer, and this year, a parade of tiny legs and wagging tails could steal the show! Local dachshunds and their owners are invited to join a festive group marching in the city’s Santa Claus Parade Sunday, Dec. 6th.

Known as “Dachshund Through the Snow,” the group brought about 20 dachshunds dressed in Christmas outfits to last year’s parade. Organizer Emmalyne Hietikko hopes even more sausage dogs will join the fun this time around.

Dachshund owners interested in participating can connect with Hietikko through the Dachshund Through the Snow Facebook group for details.

Natalie is a lovely two-year-old cat who may be shy when you first meet her, but there’s a sweet, affectionate companion waiting to shine through. During her time in foster care, Natalie blossomed into a friendly girl who loves spending time with her people.

She’s also a big fan of other cats, so she’d be thrilled to find a home with a feline friend to keep her company. With patience, kindness, and a little time to settle in, Natalie has so much potential to flourish.

After shelter life, she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will let her feel safe and loved at her own pace. If you’re ready to welcome a gentle new companion into your home, this sweet girl may be the perfect match.
