Proud to Be a Greater Toronto Top Employer—Again!

I’m excited to share some great news: Halton Region has once again been recognized as a Greater Toronto Area Top Employer by MediaCorp! This is an incredible honour, and I couldn’t be prouder of the team that makes Halton such a great place to work. Watch this video that captures our team in action!

Every year, thousands of people apply to join Halton Region, and I believe it’s because of the culture we’ve built together. We value wellness, collaboration, professional development, recognition, community impact, and service excellence. These are the principles that guide us every day.

This recognition matters. It benchmarks us against the best employers locally and nationally, and it validates the investments we make in creating a workplace where people can thrive. 

What makes Halton special

  • A workplace people believe in: 81% of employees say Halton is a great place to work—driven by collaboration and community impact.
  • Empowering growth: Over half of all roles are filled internally, reflecting our commitment to career mobility and professional development.
  • Unmatched mental health support: Eligible employees and their families have access to $5,000 in mental health benefits because well-being matters.
  • Wellness that works: With 10 weekly wellness activities—from intramural sports to instructor-led yoga—Halton promotes health, balance, and team spirit.
  • Exceptional retention: 94% of permanent employees stay year after year—a testament to our supportive culture.

Recognizing our team

This award is more than a title—it’s a reflection of the incredible people who make Halton Region what it is. Thank you to every member of our team for your dedication and passion. Together, we’re building a workplace where people want to work, grow, and make a difference in their community.
