On the Hill is a program of music, movie, and community events held year round by Transfig. It is a way for us to honour the gift of green space that we are blessed to have, by inviting our neighbours to come relax, have fun, and connect with each other “on the hill”.
We’d love to see you this summer at one of our music nights or movie nights!
