The Halton Region School Tour Program was established to raise awareness of Halton Region’s programs, services and facilities to:

• assist teachers in incorporating regional government activities into the grade five curriculum on municipal government;
• to personalize regional government for school-aged children; and
• to further educate teachers and students about the differences between municipal government and regional government.

The School Tour Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about:

• The role of Regional Council
• Halton’s role in emergency preparedness
• Police Headquarters’, including the jail cells and the communications centre;
• Halton Region’s Emergency Medical Services - the role of paramedics;
• The Halton Waste Management Site - waste disposal and recycling.
• One of Halton’s wastewater treatments plants.
