To support the containment of COVID-19, many Halton Region buildings will be closed to the public as of Monday, March 23 until further notice. While buildings are closed, the Region will continue to provide critical services, such as waste collection, Halton Waste Management Site drop-off services, water and wastewater services, road operations, housing and paramedic services to residents and businesses. Many services will be available online, by phone or by appointment. Critical construction projects that are vital to our local economy will also continue until further notice.
"The situation surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly evolving, and we are taking all necessary measures to protect the health of our community,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “While our buildings are closed, Regional Council and staff are continuing to ensure that critical services are delivered to residents and businesses to maintain a high quality of life. I want to thank them for their commitment to serving the public during this unprecedented time.”
Halton Region Public Health is continuing to focus fully on the response to COVID-19 and protecting the health of our community.
