The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for virtual engagement for all residents to continue to provide feedback in a convenient way while protecting everyone’s health and safety. To help support this, I’m pleased to share our new Opportunities to Participate webpage on halton.ca makes it easier for you to get involved and provide feedback to help shape Regional programs and services! The webpage features all Regional initiatives that are currently accepting feedback in one convenient online location.

To get involved and have your say on Regional initiatives like major infrastructure projects, surveys or multi-year plans that enhance our community, simply visit the webpage and provide your online feedback! This webpage will be updated with new projects and surveys as they are available. We will also continue to communicate about these public engagement initiatives through our social media channels, dedicated webpages, media releases and editorials based on the type of work underway.

Engaging with residents, businesses and community stakeholders is a priority for Halton and helps inform the development and delivery of our high-quality programs and services. We have recently updated our public engagement framework which includes the development of guiding principles for public engagement to ensure effective and inclusive engagement, transparency and accountability. 

While this new centralized webpage offers a one-stop location for all Regional engagement initiatives, the Region will continue to provide numerous ways for you to share your input on important Regional work using both online and offline options from surveys and feedback forms to online public information sessions, and workshops. Your feedback is valuable and I encourage you to share your input with us!
