Standing for election is a significant and rewarding commitment that takes hard work and perseverance. All candidates did an outstanding job of reaching out to voters and listening to the issues facing the Halton community in a hard fought campaign. Halton Region's advocacy campaign, A Strong Halton for a Strong Ontario, encouraged important discussion about key issues facing Halton. The Region will continue to work with both the Federal and Provincial governments to ensure that critical issues are resolved and that Halton remains a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
